I really wouldn't consider strapping young lad death metal...In Flames is a great poster-child for the genre, however.

Metal fans, check out my band!

I think cradle of filth is more black metal than Death metal

 

 

 

u forgot opeth there also death metal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, not a big fan of CoF and haven't actualy heard Dissection. I also don't think i'd consider CoB and Lamb of god as melodic death. Children of bodem is just power metal with harsh vocals, and lamb of god is mostly metalcore. :wink:

All the catagorization is too confusing. Personally I just break metal down into hardcore, death metal, black metal, heavy metal, thrash metal (trashy metal), or other.

 

 

 

Anyway, I really like Lamb of God, they're probably my forth favourite band at the moment. However, I can't say I have much of a liking for Children of Bodom, and I've never bothered to listen to Cradle of Filth or Dissection.

 

 

 

Britney Spears owns Spice Girls.

Cool.

This is just becoming a huge arguement about genres of bands when it doesn't even matter because they're all just forms of hardcore metal... :/

 

 

 

Metal is pathetic for different genres. Faster drums, new genre. One new instrument, different genre. Female singer, different genre. It's all just metal....

God, you "metalheads" can never get it right . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Children Of Bodom is NOT Death Metal. It's Power Metal with harsh vocals. Alexi does NOT growl and the instrumentals are NOT of Death Metal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cradle of Filth is NOT Death Metal. It's mostly Black Metal/Gothic Metal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lamb of God is Metalcore, which is crappy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dissection is more along the lines of Death Metal.

Classification is all subjectory, I consider Primus to be metal, but Led Zeppelin to just be rock. But I do agree on CoF.

Yet there is so many types of Trance, right?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also Intriguing, that would work except your forgeting two majorly different types -- Power metal and symphonic metal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm.. Miluion, I'd consider CoF more gothic metal tbh. It's not really black metal by any stretches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lamb of god is actualy decent for being metalcore however. :)

Question - How can death metal be melodic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am not trying to start and arguement or undermine your statement, I just want to know because I love the heavy sound of death metal but the mindless banging of guitar strings like thrash and the growling singers push me away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I awitched to Progressive Metal :]

Melodic simply means containing an agreeable succession of notes, so its a very, very broad term. I mean, even I don't agree with screaming vocals all that much, it has its moments, but I feel a good mix of clean/harsh yields the most benefits. (I.E. newer Norther). Regardless, listen to any COB song and try to tell me that song had no melody. You would be sorely wrong.

Metal fans, check out my band!

This is a tad off-topic, but may I request examples of such bands? Just out of interest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Euroforce - Power metal

 

 

 

Symphony X - Symphonic Metal

Spose you've got me there hahah, but I feel strongly about trance due to the endless onslaught of crappy pop trance these days. and that was a different thing altogether, i was explaning how electronica is just the tip of the iceberg :P

 

 

 

Its the way people argue about it with Metal though, it's like every single band has to be set to a genre and without meaning to sound small minded, a lot of metal bands that are accordingly worlds apart so they have to be a different genre arn't technically all that different.

 

 

 

I do know the difference because I listen to it. Not only that I researched a 2000 word essay on black metal, hahah...

 

 

 

point is it just feels like people argue way too much about bands being a specific genre when you could just say you like the band's sound because it's different. if you get me. :)
