Well I love that epic power metal shit so I may just convince the guys to turn into the next Rhapsody. How great would that be huh?mrboogeyman said:In the end, its the lyrics and the instrumentals (including vocals) that classifies the music. Its very hard to specifically classify a type of or music genre of a band. Many bands have at least incorporated different sounds from different music styles! I don't see any reason why people would compare a doom band to another, because some doom bands play and sound differently than others, although the music they play are still doom. Of course, unless you guys changed your style and began playing some epic music, singing about elves, then you guys would definitely be classified as a power metal band!
Dragonforce rules too, but Rhapsody is great cause they have that troll dude who takes pictures with them. And their lead singer's name is Fabio, I mean thats fucking metal yo.Usurper Dan said:Dragonforce > Rhapsody

yeh i know... in all honesty i can say its better not to even care what ND is labeled as. The harder to label the better! Let's just keep it as "good metal"NvmbrsDoom5 said:I don't agree. I don't think Dark Metal could be applied to almost any metal. Bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and Helloween, for example, aren't what I would call "dark". Heavy, yes, but just about all metal is supposed to be. I think "Dark" suits us best because we have elements of death, doom, black, epic, traditional, etc. in our music, which we put a dark moody spin on. We certainly aren't a doom metal band, I don't care what anyone says. There's too much about what we do, especially on our new album and even the last one, that just does not fall under the doom title, sorry. I still love doom metal, don't get me wrong, but that's all the more reason why I feel able to say honestly that we don't fit in with it specifically anymore.
As for being vague, technically nowadays Death Metal is too vague of a title as well, especially with how many bands out now use alot of DM touches to their sound....remember the days when you could pretty much label something as being death metal if it had deep guttural vocals? lol That certainly doesn't apply these days!!
"Darker metal" is pretty funny though, come to think of it hehe
