I guess you missed the fact that it's been pinned since he posted it.

LOLOLOLOL

Any following of motley crue was pretty much deader than disco until tommy lee banged pamela anderson and then WOW MOTLEY CRUE REUNION TOUR.

Fox 021, don't post on this topic. You don't know anything. Also you're trying to make fun of someone because they are not "known"? How retarded are you...

Metal prophet of the internet.
Nice guide man, i couldn't agree with the comments more.

Cool, I'll have to listen to some of that stuff

Sh.. I wasn't paying attention

Electric Wizard if you wanna add some more doom on there

plus they're worth checking out if you're into the genre

very nice list

I think you should take a look @ Goatwhore

A blackened death metal band

And also take a look at Gorgoroth
Black metal band

Awsome guide Luke

Its good guide

But Amon Amarth fall under theyre own sorta genre, iknow alot dont like classing it as Viking metal but it really isnt black or even near melodic death.

Same for the Swedish Melodic Death bands you named, theres sorta two categories, you have your traditional melodic death with the huge emphasis of keyboards, but then you get into Gothenburg Melodic Death which the bands like At The Gates/Dark Tranquility etc helped form which has different style of vocals and less emphasis of the keyboard.

And Rammstein isnt Industrial, they have there own german specific genre which is famous in germany called Neue Deutsche Härte Metal or as the band members say Tanz-Metall (dance)

i like

Dude I could class every metal band differently lol for example Metallica is classical thrash heavy metal and slayer is deathened thrash speed metal etc, I stick to a basic category otherwise I'd be doing it all year.

Amon Amarth use elements of every extreme metal genre and if you really want I could explain every song in terms of musical technique. For the sake of the guide I write down what they touch on so fans of melodic death might think about listening to them as well as black metal fans etc and I'm sure a lot of both would like them. It's more of a quick reference, don't read too much into it L

L

viking metal $$$


AND KALMAH ARE KNOWN TO FANS AS SWAMP METAL @@@

LOL

Those made me laugh the most. Nice guide too, read through about 80% of it, even though I'm not a big metal fan, still pretty impressive and may listen to some.

Kamelot's new album Ghost Opera's really good, you should check it out. Sonata Arctica's another great band, and Nightwish definitely deserves a listen. I actually don't think there was a huge band out there that you didn't cover in the guide. Very nice!

They're all in the guide I just haven't listened to them much.

So Death Metal without the lyrics isnt Death Metal?

Lots of folk influences. just take a listen to Hammerheart, Twilight of the gods or Nordland II by bathory and ull see.

Nice guide though some of it is extremely bias

Not really into metal at the moment because I've run short of decent bands to listen to :X will listen to some of your suggested

Pretty much every band I said I didn't care for I said something like 'but if your into that kinda thing they are worth checking out' I tried not to do down any bands unless I was a big fan of them and they changed for example.

Get some folk metal bands up there such as Korpiklaani

I know they're in the guide. I was just saying you should check 'em out.

u shold check out some Irate metallica, rpitty good, check out vendetta great song

Mortal Treason

Luke, listen to them and tell me what you think about them.

Thers no Anathema from the UK...they were one of the 3 Doom pioneers with My Dying Bride and Paradise lost

I'm sorry but how could you give Wintersun a 6/10? I know it's only one album but still...

It's their live rating. Music might be fantastic but they might not be that good live.

Wow, that's one hell of a guide lol. Must have taken ages

It's a live rating and to be fair they were great but I was so wasted I was climbing the walls so I didn't get a chance to properly take it in.


Wintersun \m/ !!

Damn man, I wouldn't have the patience to make a Metal guide like this.
nice work.

ur bloody cool man

Awesome guide. Im a metal freak myself and enjoyed reading that I saw all of my favorite bands listed up
In Flames

tbh we own
U.K has sabbath - first metal band
Iron maiden - epic.
cradle of filth \m/
AND Venom first played the song "black metal" here

btw luke Venom was never black metal they may have created the idea of black metal and made an album + a song called black metal but they were thrash but ALL FUCKING HAIL VENOM THE REASON WE HAVE BLACK AND DEATH METAL - death metal was built upon thrash and black

cof is goth metal even though a few of their fans (retarded ones) like to say they are black Dani has said many times COF is not black nor do they want to be

deicide is satanic death metal not brutal ;p and yeah they are reallllly anti christian lol glen the lead singer burns an upsidedown cross in to his head

amon amarth = viking death metal

its "gorgoroth" not "gogoroth" ;p

immortal is black not death

chimaira nu metal? LOL.

btw the reason for alot of anti christian / satanism in norway is it was a pagan country till the christians converted them a guy from i think burzum commented on this saying its the reason he helped varg burn down a church

didnt comment on mayhems eventful history ;p?

sorry to pick at it but some of my fav bands ;p

Retard. CoF shouldn't even be there.

Deicide is brutal death.

do you even listen to deicide lol? its all about satan and worshipping satan and a general fuck off to god

Hmm, isn't that what all brutal death metal does?

i have yet to hear CC, amon amarth, ect mention satan

Bound from the light to the end of eternity...
Fighting for rights for the realm of antiquity
All that is evil and right hand of god...
Trinity bound and defying his cross...

Homage for Satan, cursing dissension, forced isolation
To the lake of fire...

Will and free thought you have brought to the edge of eve,
Nothing to stop what they thought was the truth to be...
God without Satan no one would believe...

Homage for Satan, sworn to the devil, Unholy master,
Destroy the heavens,
Homage for Satan, the invocation, rule the unwanted,
Armies of the dead....

Skinning the Christians and the lost and not forgave,
Punishing priest for the lives that they wouldn't save,
Waiting rebirth of the Christ back upon the earth...
Given temptation to wipe out the world....

Homage for Satan, god can not find you, hell is your heaven,
Jesus ripped apart.....

^deicide

Wrap the wire round the neck,
pull it tight to suffocate
His mouth is spewing steaming blood
Hang the body with a cord, gag his mouth
with shards of steel
He doesn't know the pain he'll feel
Interwoven deadly spikes, tightening cables
lacerate
Assorted gashes open wide
Ruptured veins are gushing blood, scraps of
skin are flying off
The body of the helpless prey

Jagged cable binds, you scream, No escape
Metal barbs tearing at you, Rend your flesh

Tear apart the tendons,
wire chokes the victim
Shred away his features,
shred away his being
Rip the tissue from the body, Rend your flesh

Lacerate, sharp spikes rip
Mutilate, pierce the skin

Mummified in the barbed wire
Breathing stops, life expires
Mummified in the barbed wire
Metal binds as you die

Tangled in a web of pain, No escape
Blood seeps through the metal sheath,
Saw-like noose

Tear apart the tendons,
wire chokes the victim
Shred away his features,
shred away his being
Gleaming cords encase the corpse, No escape

Lacerate, sharp spikes rip
Mutilate, pierce the skin

Mummified in the barbed wire
Breathing stops, life expires
Mummified in the barbed wire
Metal binds as you die

Steel wraps your face, blood soaks the steel
Bound in wire, soon to die, life choked out,
bleed to death

Mummified in the barbed wire

^cannibal corpse not really the same huh

!,,!

Too bad Amon Amarth isn't brutal death.

Those two are completely different. CC is about death and mutilating corpses, whilst Deicide sings about killing satan and skinning christians, mutilating their corpses. I don't think Deicide should have a own genre because of their lyrical theme. The brutal death metal sentres around death and mutilation and the death of jesus.

Also are Deicide and CC all the brutal death bands you know?

nah just my favs im not really in to DM(only really like cc, deicide, opeth, arch enemy, morbid angel and amon amarth i like Black Metal more always have always will

and as for skinning christians they dont talk about killing them much - homage for satan and kill the christian are the only ones i can think of songs like when satan rules his world, bible basher, fuck your god, in torment in hell ect have nothing to do with killing anyone its to do with him worshiping satan

Idiot.

And Venom IS Black metal, In the first wave black all the bands dident sound the same all the time like it is now with every darkthrone clone.

Venom created black metal so ofcourse they're black metal

I'm not allocating all these sub genres, satantic death metal? Does that make slayer satantic thrash metal? No it's just thrash metal.

As for Chimaira well if you've heard their debut album then you can tell they HAD a nu metal influence without a doubt. Listen to 'Sp lit' and even songs on their second album like 'Down again' it's clear to see they came from a nu metal mold. Their downtuned guitars lacking much technical ability, sure it was heavy nu metal but nu all the same. They've adopted a heavier sound lately which is great but when it comes to naming what catergories a band falls into you hafta take into account all their material.

and Venom definately fits the bill of black metal lol.

Sanctity isn't metalcore. Their thrash/groove.

Some more Australian bands that should be noted are:
Black Majesty
Mortal Sin

oh and where's Insomnium?

CoF isnt goth metal, well they sort of are, i still think theyre a cheap symphonicy black metal band that turned mainstream and shit..


and yeah i wouldnt give deicide a satanic death genre or anything lol, theres a lot of brutal death/death bands with religious themed lyrics.



btw, Varg is Burzum.

Rofl! I love you Chribba<3.

I dont who you are.

AMEN!!!

Any music with satan is shit
It's all just a gimmick to me

Those norweighans are just pissed that christian vikings fucking owned them
