Are you sure? I was so sure that Nightwish is a operatic gothic metal band. Their lyrics are more "gothic". But, thanks a lot for this. :)

Try uhhmmm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Atreyu - Suicide Notes & Butterfly Kisses

 

 

 

As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security

 

 

 

Cannae - Horror

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are probably my three favorite metal bands.

 

 

 

as i lay dyings first cd "frail words collapse" is more complete. I suggest that before shadows.

This might be helpful. Just look a band up, and the bands around it should be similar.

according to my friend, who has followed black metal for years...Dimmu Borgir are melodic black metal. he also says you're "probably an elitist "

 

 

 

Trivium are a mix of Metal and Hardcore. Metalcore. Doesn't take a genius.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and call you the noob. There's more to being goth than just having a female vocalist. The use of synth and the composition of their guitar riffs bears all the hallmarks of (European) power metal.

No way. How can it be the new wave of american metal when they sound like other bands?

You *Can* classify Dimmu Borgie as "Symphonic Black Metal"

 

 

 

BUT...

 

 

 

That defeats the purpose of "Black Metal".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black Metal was meant to be RAW, with low quality recording. Not to be uber- synthesized with some *clean* vocals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Nightwish is technically Power Metal.

 

 

 

It wouldn't be *too* outlandish to say "Gothic metal", but its still not the case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Yes,

 

 

 

Trivium is NWOAHM (New Wave of American Heavy Metal) due to the facts that... They have clean vcals in nearly all of their songs, and the guitars stray off from "low tuned" was too often.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And YES. I am proud to be an Elitist, But I don't stray away from crappy music. I listen to Falloutboy, Trivium, Atreyu, Dimmu Borgir, KsE, Finch, All- American Rejects, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You name nearly any type of music, I like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just want to clarify things, and help people along in their musical tastes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:wink:

I'm going to have to agree with Nec--Nightwish is without a doubt power metal. The synths often give them a symphonic sound with actually can be similar to gothic metal, but Nightwish's energy-driven guitar riffs are blatantly power metal.

dragonforce, hammerfall, rhapsody etc are gd examples of powermetal, but alexisonfire or arch enemy are gd black metal bands with not so evil lyrics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus man, Alexisonfire are not even close to black metal.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.
