Doctor J Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 There's no such thing as hair metal, just a silly term applied long after the bleached and pouffed ones had bought flannel shirts. Therefore, Death Metal for life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 For me death metal was the point where the metal subgenres started to get really confusing & I'm never sure what's what. I used to like Celtic Frost and Sabbat. Do either of those count? I think Sabbat might have been more thrash folk metal if that was a thing? Although it's entirely possible they might have been proto grindcore, speed metal, doom metal, black metal or possibly early djent. All of which apparently sound different enough to each other to get their own subgenre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 given a choice between these two I'd plump for hair metal. I just can't get on with 'pig giving birth' vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have to admit I have never really got a grip on all the various sub-genres of Heavy Metal music. Then again, I did kind of stop listening to it all after Black Sabbath. Could someone (or some people?) please list all the various types, describe what makes them distinct and - ideally - link to an example?

KingBollock Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 This one is easier than the glam (hair) v thrash question. Definitely Death Metal for me. The problems, for me, are going to start when a question pops up where I like a lot of bands in one genre, but I absolutely adore just one band in the other genre, more so than any of the bands in the first.

Truckstop Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Very briefly and there's plenty of argument but here's some to try out: Thrash - 80's metal. Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer etc Death - 80's into 90's. Cannibal Corpse, Carcass Death Core - 00's into 10's. Bring me the horizon, Misericordiam, Sucicide Silence Grind - 80's into 90's. Death, Napalm Death Grind Core - 00's into 10's. Atrocity Exhibit, Bring me the horizon Black - 80's into 90's. Mainly Scandinavian, lots of make-up. Melodic - 00's. Killswitch Engage, In Flames Melodi-core - 00's. Killswitch Engage, Beneath it All Melodi-death - 90's into 00's. Opeth Rap - 00's. Limp Bizkit, mainly Nu - 00's into 10's. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Slipknot. Attitude more than music style. Dent - 10's. Fell Silent, Meshuggah, Monuments Groove - 90's to 10's. Meshuggah, Down, Lamb of God Power - evolved from speed thrash with a touch of melody. 00's. Dragonforce Industrial - 90's to 10's. Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson Madcap - 00's. Linea 77, Sikth Electro - 90's to 10's. Mad Capsule Markets, Enter Shikari Post [metal] - 10's. Largely instrumental. Some Mogwai, explosions in the sky etc Symphonic - 00's. Extension of black metal. Dimmu Borgir etc Doom - 90's to 10's. Early Anathema, My Dying Bride There's a lot more out there and many of the bands I've listed span many styles. I've left out punk because I don't think that it's metal. Listen to some of those bands and see what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 These are in no order beyond the order I think of them, and obviously are all IMO/YMMV etc Will add some more later on, but this will get you started. Heavy metal / old school metal / NWOBHM typically clean, high vocals, not loads of distortion on the guitars, dual harmony leads and galloping rhythms. Examples: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon http://youtu.be/3ZlDZPYzfm4 Thrash metal Faster and heavier than "heavy metal" often high pitch, normally clean vocals. punk influenced drumming, lyrics often influenced by nuclear war. Examples: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax http://youtu.be/md3B3I7Nmvw Groove/thrash Like regular thrash, but slower and (unsurprisingly) more groove orientated. Examples - Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura http://youtu.be/KJ0bG_7L3Sw Death metal Blast beats, heavy, very distorted guitars, gutteral, growling vocals, with a leaning towards technicality in the musicianship. There are a few sub-genres of death metal, I'll list a couple below Examples: Death, Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal http://youtu.be/gNhN6lT-y5U Technical death metal Quite modern, focus is on the musicianship, sadly often at the expense of the song writing Examples: Origin, Archspire Brutal/slam-death / gore-grind Often about as extreme as you can get, full-on death metal, often with gore obsessed lyrics, like Cannibal Corpse, but heavier. Examples - Amputated, Ingested Black metal One of my favourite genres and quite a broad church () like death metal, but more influenced by atmospherics than technicality, key triaits are blast beats, tremelo picked riffs, vocals that are more a rasp or shriek than growl. Synths are common too and lyrics are often based on satanism/anti-theism, or heritage and nationalism. Examples - Emperor, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Wolves In The Throne Room http://youtu.be/YgQRRI9goFg Doom metal Black Sabbath kicked this genre off: slow, heavy riffs, tritones, lyrics often about drugs, nuclear holocaust or the occult, though conversely can by openly Christian (Sabbath, Trouble) too Exampled - Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Electric Wizard http://youtu.be/lpVUMuLLqug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
