Metal sub-genres

[Erik]

I don't know about this one. THis is mostly interpretation, but if this is true then where do you classify bands like Dewscented, Shadows Fall (PLEASE don't say metalcore, SF are so much more), old Children of Bodom, or The Black Dahlia Murder. I think these guys fit a modern thrash profile. Solid fast riffs with fast relatively short but quick solos and well, thrashy drumbeats.

oh holy fucking jesus

I said active. Thrash is dead.

Doom... yeah sure throw Doom in there. Grindcore... I'm not sure if it's been productive enough around 2000 to be considered active.

But don't start throwing stuff like Goregrind or Viking in. Those are only lyric styles. And then stuff lke Epic Metal and Troll metal which are really just off-shoots of power and black. And I wanted to keep it at five

Thrash isn't even close to dead, you clown.

And now you think Viking is only a lyrical style? You don't know a whole lot, do you?

Wow no one mantioned tr00 metal yet *lol*

Ahhh - this raises the question. Is 'Nu-metal' metal?

I would say no.

Actually it´s kind of Hard Rock subgenre.

Thrash is very dead. I have not heard an older thrash band put out a thrash album lately.

Before someone says Exodus their new album is groove metal.

Bands like 'the haunted' are not thrash.

thrash is dead as fuck.

Kreator - Enemy of God?

Kreator - Enemy of God?

The cd has some thrash moments but is mainly very melodic. It's not like old Kreater for sure. I would not consider enemy of god a thrash album.

I have to agree with many on here that Thrash is NOT dead. If you think that, well then, you just aren't entrenched in Metal as much as you may think .

I think that goes without saying. In fact, I didn't need to read his comments to already know that.

Dude, that are genres, not sub-genres For example.. Death metal is a genre, and some sub-genres are brutal death metal, melodic death metal, death/grind etc.

uh no genres would be considered metal, country, punk, rock, rap, reggae, classical, etc. He's talking about sub-genres of metal such as death metal, power metal, thrash metal, heavy metal, black metal, etc.

Anyway, here are the basic genres and examples of those genres (not sub-sub-genres such as gore metal and viking metal and this doesn't include metalcore):

Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Deep Purple)

Doom Metal (Candlemass, Black Sabbath)

Thrash Metal (Megadeth, Slayer, (old) Metallica, Slayer, Testament)

Speed Metal (Judas Priest (painkiller album), Motorhead)

Power Metal (Manowar, Iced Earth, Helloween)

Black Metal (Emperor, Venom, Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal)

Death Metal (Deicide, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse)

That retard with numbers in nickname is right.
Thread starter has put the question wrong...anyway we all catched his point

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

For the last goddamned time, Viking Metal is no longer a sub-genre. It's well-enough established on its own by now thank you very much.

 

[Fredy_Brown]

Viking metal is lyrical sort of folk metal, not another sub-genre. End of story.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

end of your story perhaps, and you're wrong anyway, but feel free to continue thinking as you do
