Musical favorites and diversity.

I'm a huge fan of hip hop, from oldschool ny boom bap to indie stuff Def Jux and Rhymesayers to coke rap like the clipse and even ignant souther ish.

my all time favorite groups are Meshuggah, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Outkast and Wu-Tang.
 
This list is for bands who don't fall into the normal metal category, right?

Alice in Chains
Soundgarden
Anathema
My Dying Bride
Skylab (my band)
Journey
Professor Fate
Arcturus
Therion
The Vision Bleak
Shining

man I could go on for days...
 
Ha ha yeah I guess you're right!!!

Metal, imo, is to the point now where it's so diverse in subgenres that it doesn't seem like metal when you listen to it. It's just music to me.

For instance, Professor Fate isn't really metal to me, but to someone else it may be. I'm really horrible at this stuff :).

"Beyond Twilight has always been a band going it's own way. That's what the band is all about really. Never compromising with anything the colourful music industry tried to pull over the heads of the band"

That's from their Myspace. The have a penchant for cliche. The music is pretty bad too.
 
i'm going to guess you guys don't like prog? you seem to be really into death metal maybe? theyaren't cheessy they are dark and melodic. and they music is very interestingly complicated. you don't have to like it. i'm still gonna fight for it though.
 
hahahaha... i don't know, you guys have shot down 2 of my favorite bnds so far. what's the deal? beyond twiligt is amazing.... and their music is not cliche even though their myspace says that stupid "we are soooooo different like omz" crap. thy are actually pretty original.
