I've come across Christian Black Metal Pagan Black Metal. Which doesn't make any sense to me really. I thought Black Metal was satanic lyrically or based on being non religious or just again, straight up satanic. I'm not saying it's not true Black Metal, I'm just more confused than anything I guess because Black Metal always to me was as I said before, satanic. Thoughts?
I'll answer the PS question. These days giving something a genre or labeling music is so hard. The definition on genres these days seem to change more often than ... underwear. My fav Rap Metal is Rage Against the Machine
No, I listen to a little rap. When I say a little, I mean one or two albums. I listen to a decent bit of metal--the kind you can still make out some of the lyrics of. You might like Project 86's self-titled album as well as East West's first couple of albums, especially The Light In Guinevere's Garden. It's an amazing album.
Rap metal is just metal with a rapper as the vocalist. (subgenre of metal/rock) Horrorcore is hip hop with darker themes and beats. (subgenre of hip hop) Linkin Park is rap metal. Twiztid is horrorcore. Cypress Hill doesn't fall under either category. Occasionally they dabble in rap metal, but they're not a rap metal band. Try Insane Poetry or Brotha Lynch Hung.
^^^^ Metallica are Thrash Metal. Rage are/were Rap Metal. (i.e. The Battles Of Los Angeles, Rage Against The Machine) Linkin Park are Nu-Metal(Terrible label...But all bands like Linkin Park, KoRn are Nu-Metal) Cypress Hill are hip hop. They have dabelled in rock influences but they're not rap metal. The cloest they've gone too Rap Metal is Alternative Hip Hop.. Heavy Metal = Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Anthrax. None of the bands you mentioned are heavy metal...I think you're confusing the term Heavy with Hardcore. If you like Linkin Park, Cypress Hil and Twiztid Try Rage Against The Machine Hed P.E. Ill Nino KoRn Reveille
Phew theirs a big difference in lyrics, in the way they play and mostly in the types of fans.
