Your top 1-3 bands from each genre

[EternalEnemy]

Meaning each metal-genre, and possibly something else. Your three fave death, three fave black, three fave viking, three fave power....


or just 1 or two faves from them


This means you list all, at least all the important, metal genres. Such things as "glam metal" and "symphonic metal" and "epic metal" and all that stuff is not necessary. But folk is still necessary.

Maybe if i list all the ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY GENRES THAT YOU WILL FILL BAND(S) WITH OR YOU WONT FILL AT ALL.

Power
Thrash
Death
Black
Viking
Folk
Doom
Heavy
Speed
Gothic
Progressive
Gothenburg/melodeath


Grindcore, as it is not a metal genre, is not mandatory. But it would be good to list grindcore too.

If someone thinks this thread is annoying, you dont need to post.

The reason why i like to do it this way is that you can easily compare the varying tastes of an individual who likes this and that...does one like this type of death if he or she likes this or that black? If someone is a brutal DM fan, what would be the best/least worst power band for him?

Oh, and regardless wheter you hate some of those genres, the rules apply to you too.

I, of course, wont be saying anything....

 

[Stormwatch]

Thrash - Anthrax and Metallica (Pre-Load Metallica natch)
Death - Deicide and Vader

I'm not much of a fan of any of the other genres.


Sorry, I don't understand the rules - should I not have posted unless I was going to fill in ALL the fields?

[Under The Oak]

Yeah, those 3 are always hard to catergorize, but where would you put them? Melodic death?

That's all I got.

 

[EternalEnemy]

But, Viking isn't a real genre.

WHAT? Your MAMA wasn't a real genre, you...!!


Seriously, viking metal is not based on lyrics. Its the style of keyboards, the style of riffs etc...Epic metal with viking lyrics is not viking, by the way. It has to have the viking sound.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Black - Deathspell Omega, Graveland, Nokturnal Mortum.
Death - Demigod, God Macabre, Nocturnus.
Thrash - Exhorder, Exodus, Sepultura.
Doom - Disembowelment, Morgion, Esoteric.

 

[Hatebreed]

Thrash - Sepultura, Mokoma, the Haunted
Death - Nile, Vital Remains, Vader
Gothenburg - In Flames, Soilwork, Insomnium
Goth - Katatonia, Charon, Paradise Lost
Black - Aborym, Emperor (say what you will) And Oceans (same)
Industrial - Skymning, the Project Hate, Scarve

I'm bad at this sort of thing...I can't think of any genres, or band names.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It has to have the viking sound.

There's no such thing. Most bands that can be considered "viking" metal are basically folk blackened metal, anyways, so I use that term. If a band has no Viking themes but still gets called viking, that's silly.

Yeah, those 3 are always hard to catergorize, but where would you put them? Melodic death?

Opeth = Progressive metal with harsh/death vocals. They have nothing else "death-y" about them, and therefore don't belong in the genre.

Agalloch = Gothic/neo-folk, but more the latter. I don't see where you got death out of them at all.

Extol = I don't really know, kinda prog-y metalcore, maybe.

 

[ShadowOfDeath]

Power: Falconer, Hammerfall, Lost Horizon
Thrash: Testament, Dark Angel, Metallica, Slayer(sorry needed to put 4 )
Death: Cannibal Corpse, Internecine, Cattle Decapitation
Black: Darkthrone, Burzum, Graveland
Viking: Falkenbach, Einherjer
Folk: Cruachan, Elvenking, Of the wand and the moon(not metal, still fucking brilliant)
Doom: Electric Wizard
Heavy: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest
Progressive: Evergrey
Gothenburg/melodeath: Opeth, Arch Enemy
Grindcore: Lymphatic Phlegm, Early Carcass, Early Napalm Death

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Grindcore: Lymphatic Phlegm

Grr, stop doing that. I hate these genre topics.

 

[EternalEnemy]

Disagreed.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

That's nice, but you're wrong.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Power - Virgin Steele, Blind Guardian, Manticora
Thrash - ARGH HOW DO I CHOOSE? Right now, Overkill, Heathen, and I suppose Metallica.
Death - Dismember, Vader, Necrophagist

Viking - Bathory
Folk - Skyclad (cheating again)
Doom - Just started getting into Candlemass
Heavy - Judas Fucking Priest, WASP, Iron Maiden
Speed - Judas Fucking Priest again, early Blind Guardian, Agent Steel

If you like Candlemass, you REALLY FUCKING NEED TO CHECK OUT Orodruin and Reverend Bizarre.
