metal...whats next

[cookiecutter]

Amon Amarth, two very popular bands lately, becoming metal influences since they have done something no metal band has done before. Kinda like with Children Of Bodom.

Are you serious? Never been done before? I believe Slaughter of the Soul came out in 1995

 

[Jreg]

is there any native american metal or indigenous south american metal out there yet?

 

[CF87]

I see Agalloch and Amon Amarth, two very popular bands lately, becoming metal influences since they have done something no metal band has done before. Kinda like with Children Of Bodom.

 

[mutantllama]

southern metal

 

[Da Puppeter]

If there was a genre that was kind off like Power Metal but each album really told a story or maybe something like that but a soundtrack to a movie or anime. Something like Avatasia and Rhapsody only more advanced i guess??

 

[Satanstoenail]

I'd be happy with some more "good metal". The ratio at the moment is leaning far to heavily in favour of "bland, uninspired and/or overdone metal".

I can understand Agalloch, but Amon Amarth? COME ON, MAN!!!

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Re-evolution of Hair Metal

 

[Mort Divine]

He's got Agalloch right at the very least.

 

[Mr_Haze]

But he's describing current trends not future ones.

 

[CAIRATH]

Chess metal.

 

[Mort Divine]

Yellow shirt metal imo

 

[Killbot]

Gigantic Brain

yay.

as for the next 'genre' of metal, it will be probably be something stupid, like Aztec metal.

 

[LivingCadaver]

is there any reggae metal?

i cant really see metal with a very chill and relaxing genre

stoner rock/metal
trad doom
post-hardcore (melodic sludge?)
ambient metal

it's kinda been done otherwise you'll have to look for first wave of ska bands.

 

[Wires & Waves]

i cant really see metal with a very chill and relaxing genre

later bad brains

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Gay metal

 

[Killbot]

Gay metal

Are you trying to invite people to rip on the fact you like hair metal?

Homo-erotic acoustic metal!

 

[Valerie]

I'm listening to A Sceptic's Universe by Spiral Architect. The only thing similar to this I've ever heard was Elements by Atheist. It's kind of sad to me that this kind of jazzy/complex metal didn't get as recognized as other types of metal. This is Spiral Architects only album, which was released in 2000, the band was formed in 1993 and haven't released an album since. They're still active, so hopefully a new album will come out soon. Hopefully more bands like this will emerge, because I think this type of music has the most potential of variety, thus everyone--in theory--won't sound like everyone else.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

Homo-erotic acoustic metal!

why would you describe opeth like that?

whose the guy who had that hilarous opeth thing in his sig??

it said "opeth saved our relationship. Opeth, try it"

it was 2 gay guys like holding hands and had that opeth saying
