Is it a sub-genre of black metal? Is it basically black metal with pagan lyrics?
Arcturus, whatever in the hell they are. That is my favorite subgenre. Experimental Blackish Art Metal? BQ: I feel like Hollenthon would fall in there too, so they can be my obscure band choice. BQ2: I think certain of their songs, such as Immigrant Song and Achilles' Last Stand, are definitely metal, but I don't refer to the band as a whole that way...
Well I'm really into the Scandinavian Christian Extreme Metal scene, pretty big on Norwegian Black Metal, and also into Finnish Folk Metal.
Avant-garde Metal is definitely very obscure. So far only 2 bands of this genre have appealed to me: One is Faith No More and the other is UneXpect. BQ2: Not really, while I admit they have a very large influence on Metal, I consider them Hard Rock.
persons metallic. Symphonic and Thrash metallic are very close in the back of and for a lot of my existence Thrash replaced into king. I grew up in the Bay area, smack in the technique the 80s. So Thrash is kinda in my veins. Then many years in the past someone correct me an Eluveitie video and each and every thing got here crashing to a halt. maximum of those years I were listening to better technical, progressive and eloquent metallic.. and pay interest to someone takes elementary persons gadgets and melodies and mixed it with the raw blunt sound of lack of existence metallic... and it replaced into organic primal poetry. I nevertheless rejoice with very complicated metallic.. yet I got here to comprehend, that a minimum of IMO, Prog, Tech, Symph and so on replaced into taking off to pass over one aspect.. that raw, primitive sound and experience. (sure, Grindcore and Brutal lack of existence and raw Black has it, yet they lack any kind of elegance). not in any respect had I heard song that so spoke to the interior animal. Now i'll't get adequate. recommendations you, there are a very good style of Meh persons metallic clothing.. notwithstanding a similar would properly be stated about any type. yet bands like Eluveitie, Turisas, Arkona, Agalloch and Dalriada are in basic terms impressive. yet another type that has been turning out to be on me are different Epic Blackened Hybrids, stuff like StormLord's Mare Nostrum or Avathar's 2 recent EPs. I also do rejoice with Doom, yet better the Stoner Doom, lack of existence Doom or Epic Doom than stuff like Drone Doom or Funeral Doom. BQ- Eluveitie (Arkona is amazingly very close in spite of the truth that)
This is my view of Heavy Metal even though I appreciate the Progressive Metal of (Tool) and (Dream Theatre) and the Speed one of (Motorhead) , yet there is only one thing to have the word Metal to me under the umbrella of the music I like . This is called Heavy Metal or what it lead to it Proto-Metal . Now , what I mean by Heavy Metal in my book , I mean artists like Black Sabbath (Ozzy's Sabbath) or Proto-Metalists like Led Zeppelin , Sir Lord Baltimore , Blue Cheer , Iron Butterfly , Deep Purple who are not purely Heavy Metalists . Zepplica is as I said a Prot-Metal band who did have Heavy Metal songs like Immigrant Song , Whole Lotta Love and Communication Breakdown , other than that , Zepplica did mostly Hard Rock that is driven by Blues whether traditional African-American or British . They did Folk many times , too . Jimmy Page once said and I'm not quoting exactly : How can you label a band (Heavy Metal) while one third of their music is Folk and Accoustic based !!!??
