It is not misleading at all. To call the album Power Metal "glam" would be totally wrong.

... A bit excessive?
I think progressive/power metal is sufficient enough. Your opinion?

I shortened it somewhat. By the way, what an annoying voice!!

About Finntroll:

I do not deny the humppa influence, nor the folk metal side, but the latest album sounds like modern symphonic/melodic extreme metal.
Besides, I think there always has been black metal influences (pretty strong even in the Rivfader demo).
So maybe something like "Humppa-influenced folk/black metal" would be appropriate.

Not even close.

Then what?

Just leave it as it is...it's fine.

To make up an "80s Metal" sub-genre is even worse.

Plague Metal 4EVAR!!1

Most people assume that 80s/traditional/heavy metal are all pretty much the same thing...

Because they are, except for the fact that obviously some traditional/heavy metal isn't actually from the 80s.

I've always assumed Heavy Metal and Traditional Metal are the same thing. Am I wrong? and if so whats the difference. And if not, how come Black Sabbath is listed as Traditional/Heavy metal if those terms both mean the same thing

Heavy and traditional mean the same thing, as far as I know (of course except when heavy metal means all of metal).

I tend to associate traditional as not quite wholly heavy metal, nor rock or hard rock. Somewhere in between. Though, it's entirely subjective and arbitrary.

Well, what band would you say belong to traditional but not heavy, or vice versa?

I arguably consider Skid Row and Virgin Steele as fitting the definition of "traditional" I gave. Possibly Thin Lizzy and Scorpions too. King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Manowar, even Black Sabbath would be what I would consider more wholly heavy metal in that definition.

Herem, listed as "Doom Metal".

Sounds a lot like Sludge.
Listen here.

"Sludge/Doom Metal" would fit better.

I have their full-length CD and I would second this suggestion.

Would anyone believe me this:
I have bought the Belmez - Berserker CD recently and the music is not entirely black metal. The music wakes memories on Type O Negative (guitars, riffs) and the drums are also not typical BM ...

In other words, if it leans a little more towards hard rock, it's traditional? Man, that's really splitting hairs.

Crimson Tears, from the UK, are listed as symphonic power metal. But, I believe they play more Gothic/Symphonic Metal, in the vain of Leaves' Eyes, rather than power metal. I know it's not a HUGE difference, but I think it's important.

Exactly...why get so specific?

Traditional/Heavy/80s metal are umbrella terms.

Is epic pagan metal really a good idea for a genre? I mean it's not very descriptive.. . There's some black metal in this. Folkish black metal? Don't know, but the genre should be changed.

Wolfchant: changed to Pagan/Folk Metal, though perhaps Viking/Folk Metal would fit better? "black" and "epic" are not particularly descriptive of this band.

Crimson Tears: changed to symphonic/progressive metal. Female vocals do not make a band gothic. The music here is closer to that of Vanden Plas or Charisma.

Herem: wouldn't sludge imply hardcore influences? 'cause what I hear is stoner/doom influenced by late 60's proto-metal/psychedelia.

Phantasmagory

They played progressive death metal, not death/black.

I think it was actually tagged progressive death metal the last time I checked... It's strange that it has been changed to a wrong one, if my memory is correct.

I reported this, and so I'm posting it here.

3D House Of Beef

The band's genre is listed as Slow Sludgy Doom Metal. This can be changed to Sludge Doom Metal, since doom metal is slow by definition.

I mean, what's next, power metal with clean vocals?

Well, not to start a large diatribe on Children of Bodom, but...

EDIT: actually, that quip about "slow" metal got me thinking about the pace fo music, so I looked up, fast (nothing) slow (nothing again) and then pace and got:

2 search results for "pace"

1. Dimension F3H Space / Industrial Metal
2. Oxiplegatz Electronic/space metal

Is "space" a valid genre? Really?

Technically, it isn't. Usually it's atmospheric/prog metal in disguise.
Better go case by case anyways.

Midnight

Currently listed as: "Speed Metal"



Link for a quick listen

"Black/Thrash Metal with Punk influences" ?

Mmh... Even "Thrash Metal" would do, I guess...
Opinions?

Autumn in Frost
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=127892

according to the band would the following description be more accurate:
Black Metal, Acoustic/Folk

Throttlerod is for sure Stoner Rock/Metal.No Heavy Metal signs there.I even doubt if this band belong to M-A at all.But since sound is like KYUSS so I think its acceptable band.Just the bad thing is that this band is have punk roots.

Midnight: Venom/Warfare/Exciter worship, totally speed metal.

Autumn in Frost: c'mon, what a waste of time.

Grind is a punk genre, it can't be technical

Why not?

Indeed, the statement is ultimate fail. Even if it was to be true, the fact that all these bands are "grind / *insert metal genre here*" completely invalidates his statement anyway.

Could someone explain to me why The Day Everything Became Nothing is considered goregrind?

I mean sure, they've got the deep urgle gurgle gurgle, boulders rubbing together vocals, but other than that they're almost always chugga chugga death metal riffs and mid/mid-high tempo songs.

This is, of course, in at least what I've heard, which would be all of Brutal and Invention:Destruction. They don't really have too much of a grindy aspect from what I can tell. They remind me a lot of Prostitute Disfigurement.

So if someone could point something out i'm missing, or if i'm just being all-out retarded, please do so.

...Because its punk

You know what, forget about it

Finally realize what kind of fucking moron you are?

Good.
