Songs that exemplify a sub-genre in metal.

u want weird?

 

[RavageTheKingdom]

Black - Chainsaw Gutsfuck - Mayhem

really... a thrash song as exemplifying black metal?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Funeral Doom- Skepticism: The March and the Stream
Beauty & the Beast Doom- Theatre of Tragedy: Venus
Post-Black- Lantlos: Minusmensch
Symphonic Black- Emperor- Ye Entrancemperium
Viking Black- Enslaved- Midgards Eldar
Technical Black Metal- Deathspell Omega: Wings of Predation
DSBM- Xasthur: Nocturnal Poisoning

Chainsaw Gutfuck doesn't sound anything like my idea of thrash. Whenever I listen to that EP I'll get to Witching Hour and think "Hey, this still sounds really thrashy" and then I'll remember/re-realize that I'm listening to a Venom cover.

Transilvanian Hunger defines Black Metal. Nuff said.

The music is not that "weird". Evolved darkwave with baroque influences.

 

[Xorv]

music - no

video - yes

i like sopor aeternus tho, most ppl I mention them to think I'm crazy for listening to him/her.

 

[el barto]

Most songs from Altars Of Madness or Seven churches are genre defining for death metal. Maybe Scream Bloody Gore aswell

 

[Personified Hatred]

To mention only one...

Heavy - Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Thrash - Metallica - Creeping Death
Black - Mayhem - Freezing Moon
Doom - Black Sabbath - homonym
Death - anyone from "Leprosy" by Death

 

[Umodian]

Metal: Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

That is all.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

What? Demilich is wayyyy to weird to define Death Metal.

Exactly. That's like saying Fejd exemplifies folk metal.

Got a couple of friends into Sopor by making them listen to stuff like In Der Palaestra. Also whenever I'm spinning at psychedelic trance parties, I always manage to insert some Sopor Aeternus in a chillout set (tracks like The Lion's Promise).

Perfectly said.

Only the half-arsed bland 2nd wave. Bathory - The Golden Walls of Heaven defines BM.

 

[The Butt]

^ Half-arsed bland 2nd wave? Quit being gay.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

lol, The Golden Walls of Heaven is just Hell Awaits-era Slayer worship. But of course, Bathory has done very little resembling black metal at all.

 

[Geeorj]

Industrial - Streetcleaner
Thrash - Arise
Nu - Rollin ¬_¬
Math - I Wouldn't If You Didn't
Progressive - Carry Stress in the Jaw
Djent - Traces (Vildjharta - I refuse to label any Meshuggah under Djent)

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Did you pick that song just so you could accuse me of having "unoriginal opinions" or whatever again? That's much closer to the Blasphemer/Chemical Warfare riff than any second wave black metal. Simplistic, underproduced thrash metal with admittedly above-average-harshness vocals.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

And your mothers' meat loaf is just a Boston Market clone. Yea, I get it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The main riff is blatantly a thrash riff. You picked one of the worst possible songs to support your argument.
