there is so many different metal genres, what is the difference between them all? Alternative MetalAtmospheric MetalBlack MetalDark MetalDeath MetalDoom MetalElectro MetalFolk MetalGothic MetalHeavy MetalIndustrial MetalMelodic MetalMetalMetalcoreNu MetalPower MetalProgressive MetalRock MetalSludge MetalSpeed MetalStonerSymphonic MetalThrash MetalVisual Keidont have to answer all of them but ones you know what they are like describe them, example- black metal shrieks , and death metal is like cookie monster
I don't understand. it just dont seem right. Yes, it's okay I guess?; i mean, ur question sounds too vague to make any sense; Anyway, I prefer thrash, power, and death, not black. Because I'm more of a shred/technical dude, and black metal bands rarely play solos, plus they sometimes want to play poorly on purpose to be more trve(with the exception of blackened death, symphonic black, etc.)
Sure its ok, I listen to black metal all the time, especially Summoning songs. I don't really like death metal, it seems to slow, too heavy, the growls aren't my thing and all that violence and blood they sing about pisses me off. It may be easier to understand the lyrics of death metal but once you can understand what the black metal bands are singing, it will become your favorite music and all other metal will sound a lot worse compared to it. Once you go black, you can never go back...
Some people say some Death Metal eg. Deicide is Black Metal because of the satanic lyrics but its Death Metal because of cookie monster vocals. Slayer have satanic lyrics but they are thrash. Even Glam has satanic lyrics (Motley Crue) A lot of Swedish-style Death Metal vocals, lyrics and tempo eg. Dissection are actually closer to Black Metal than Death Metal (Blackened Death Metal) but others are called 'Melodic Death' metal. Then you also get Blackthrash like early Osmose bands. True Death metal is usually slower tempo but not as slow as Doomdeath or Sludge, or as fast as Grindcore, both of which often have duel vocals ie. growling and screaching in the same song. Thrash metal vocals and tempo are usually closest to Power Metal.
Black Metal and Death Metal are horrible... It's OK to listen to them, as long as you don't make the haters of the genre listen to them like the chavs do when walking down the street... Haven't they ever heard of earphones?! I think the lyrics are vulgar and disgusting... Cannibal Corpse are horrible for lyrics: Entrails From A Virgin's C*nt and Addicted To Vaginal Skin are gross!! They're wrong and disgusting. I was listening to them a couple of days ago on iTunes to see whether Death Metal is alright, since the last time i listened to them was about 2 yrs ago, and i hated it then too. Thrash Metal is good, the classics like Anthrax - Among The Living, and Metallica - Master Of Puppets and Megadeth - Rust In Peace (although Dave Mustaine is a tw*t). I like thrash, power and speed metal, i just hate nu-,etal, screamo, death, black, metalcore ect... I can't stand those prats messing up the metal scene which was worked so hard on by classics such as Metallica and Mercyful Fate. Listen to whatever you want... Just use earphones when in public.
