I think dark metal is a valid and useful genre that fits perfectly on an otherwise hard to categorize sound. The Bethlehem album is only a starting point it that direction; most so-called dark metal is much more mellow than that, to the point that using the words black and doom to describe the sound looks completely out of place.

I just want to throw in my 2 coppers about some of these bands...

This is some kind of gothic metal. Gothic/doom maybe?

Definitely Dark Metal. Their genre should however change to say "Doom Metal (early)" as noted in their biography. Good band, too.

Gothic/Doom Metal

Again, Dark Metal quite fits this one, probably even Gothic Dark Metal since the gothic influences take prominence. I would drop the "Melodic" bit though; it's not an especially huge facet of the music.

I am hearing Symphonic Dark Metal, and this band is fucking good as well!!

Their new genre seems to be some kind of doom metal.

Upon listening to the new tracks, I would certainly say that this is like what Noktorn said - huge Sisters of Mercy influence + some Doom Metal. I would propose Doom Metal/Goth Rock for the new genre. Again, another really good band!

Some kind of Doom/Death

Oh god what terrible clean vocals! Infact, what terrible MUSIC! Eugh. In any case, despite all of their metal influences, I'm also hearing a large alternative metal/rock influence in the vocals and guitars... there's almost no death metal here save for the vocals, and the band claims in the veeeeery last sentence to be "melodic dark metal" on their MySpace; and based on all the self-made personal notes on their albums -- which need to be edited -- this band submitted itself. There is a mix here of Alternative Metal, Doomy Heavy Metal and death metal vocals. Would "Alternative/Doom/Heavy Metal with harsh vocals" work? I just can't see it being put any other way... shitty band to boot.

I'll find some of my own, in any case, just wanted to comment on those.

Whispered

Song on their myspace. Also, a song from their last demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL67nNVz3CE

I would change their tag to Melodic Death/Power Metal. They play that fast catchy melodeath style with prominent power metal influences like Bodom, etc. We've been getting rid of the whole "...with harsh vocals" tag anyway, right? Oh and they have Japanese folk influences, which is pretty fucking cool, but I don't know if it's noteworthy enough to be part of the genre tag. The band does call their style Samurai Metal though. :metal: I'm very excited for their debut which should hopefully be out this year.

I've always wondered what makes Pelican post-hardcore? I have never been able to identify any such elements...

I do not agree with that. I'm sure most of those bands can be put into something else. I've listened to a few yersterday and included a legit genre to them. Some bands i listened to don't even sound like the others labeled as dark metal, so how can dark metal be a legit genre if there's not typical sound for it? Anyways, you're the mod, and this site isn't a democracy, so i guess i'll have to accept it like this.

I highly suggest, since you are no longer too familiar with Bethlehem's Dark Metal, that you give that a solid few listens to get the vibe of the genre... a few of the bands you put as black/gothic or melodic black metal were infact dark metal (see my post above).

Shouldn't this be changed to "Death / Power Metal" or just regular "Power Metal"?

well, the standard right now would be to have "with harsh vocals", not growls. But there are only 34 that have that, so not like it's a big trend.

Well it seems that the moderators have mixed opinions on dark metal. How about asking Morrigan?

I completely agree with MMisantropo. It's undisputable that you can change the genre of these bands into something else but it will undoubtedly be a long genre description with many sub-genres so Dark Metal can fit well in those cases. Also some band descriptions with the term Dark Metal should be removed for example Doom/Death/Dark Metal surely to be shortened to Doom/Death or Dark Metal (alone)...

Yeah but still, if not all these "dark metal" bands have at least some common trait, how can they be all dark metal? It's a bit absurd IMHO.

There is common traits for sure I will check the list you posted.

Edit I will comment only the bands commented by Nyaricus:

http://www.myspace.com/asorrowfuldream Gothic/Doom

http://www.myspace.com/atheistcbr Symphonic Black/Gothic Metal

http://www.myspace.com/advitamaeternam Gothic Metal

for me this band is Dark Metal http://www.myspace.com/blackcrucifixionband so the description fits well that's a good band.

this band http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=46444 is dark metal with other influences I see that in every song there is a dominate genre strange band

IMO, the first three bands could easily fit in with gothic metal. I hear lots of Theatre of Tragedy in there. The last two are a bit more wierd, but they do not sound alike. Anyways, i really think there should be an official opinion on dark metal. So mods, what should we do with dark metal?

The written rules state that upon submissions of so-called "dark metal" bands, "we WILL have to hear the band, or at least read more than one detailed review, before accepting it". In this respect it falls in the same category as heavy/traditional metal, gothic metal and NWOBHM, which are obviously valid genre descriptions.

OK, I admit I haven't checked all those bands you proposed genre changes, but one in particular caught my attention as I'm already familiar with their music. You described Agalloch as "Folk/Black metal (early), Folk/Black/Doom Metal/Post-Rock (later)". IMO that's trading a supposedly ambiguous description for a flat-out incorrect one.

For starters, Cradle of Filth is much more deserving of the BM label than Agalloch. And concerning doom metal, I know it can be melodic and not necessarily painfully slow, but it must still retain a certain degree of heaviness. Neither black or doom have anything to do with, if you pardon the word, such a wimpy sound.

Aion (Jpn)
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=37917

I don't think "heavy metal" quite covers the variety in their music. It's kinda hard to figure out exactly what each album should be classified as, but I think overall the band is something like heavy/power/thrash metal. The early stuff was thrash. Aionism (1991) was where they started to become less thrash and more power/heavy. Their newer stuff (1997-2003) is much more thrash than 1991-95, but there are still some really melodic songs like the early 90s stuff.

Some of the songs from their first three releases were redone on Deathrash Bound/Human Griefman, so they're not too different from those.

This band's demo recently surfaced and i guess the genre should be changed to Death/Gothic or something in that field. Growls with keys.

Wrnlrd - http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=90690

Experimental Black Metal doesn't really describe this band. They change styles greatly between albums - on Cperadt it's raw black metal, on In From the Night Herd it's dark ambient, on Oneiromantical War it's raw black metal heavily intertwined with noise (a'la Wold). Genre description should probably be more like Raw Black Metal/Dark Ambient/Noise.

Similarly, Bruce Dickinson's early work is hard rock and the middle period is sort of alt. rock/grunge/whatever.

I think Slaughterbox's genre should be changed to something a little bit more descriptive. Right now they're just listed as "Death Metal", but I think it should be changed to something more along the lines of "Technical Death Metal/Grindcore".

Slaughterbox are a bit tough to describe. I would call them "Technical Goregrind".

Really? I don't hear goregrind in their music at all, just deathgrind with brutal and technical elements.

Really? I don't hear goregrind in their music at all, just deathgrind with brutal and technical elements.


No... you're right, that's pretty off. But there really isn't much grindcore in there either...

Oh! Got it! "Brutal Technical Death Metal". That sounds about right.

I agree. I think either "Brutal Technical Death Metal" or "Brutal Technical Death Metal/Grindcore" would be accurate.

And also, III Kategorija's genre seems a little off. A deathcore band from 1987?

melodic progressive power metal sounds odd. I do not really hear progressive music.

about Darkthrones genre...is black n roll really gonna be considered a legit genre for em?, they dont even sound very rockish, more punk/heavy metal to me
id suggest Death Metal (early), Black Metal (mid), Blackened Heavy Metal/Punk (later)

or something like that, someone else can probabaly come up with something better

and Eternal Tears of Sorrow..http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=333

Thrash Metal (early), Melodic Death Metal (mid), Symphonic Death Metal (later)

their new stuff is still melodeath with symphonic elements, why not just Thrash Metal (early), Melodic/Symphonic Death Metal (later)

just having Symphonic Death Metal makes me think their actually a DM band just with symphonics and not a melodeth band which is what they are, they dont have much death metal in their sound anymore

I think that Black Metal / Punk would do the trick.

Woods of Ypres definitely needs a genre change (edit: http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=1555 )

Their demo/EP "Against the Seasons' is basically melodic black metal with some minor folk and doom influences not really worth mentioning.

Their second album "Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth" moves the black metal aspect back and brings to the fore those little folk metal influences from the first album, and keeps the minor doom influences (which are, again, not really worth mentioning).

Their third album "Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues" is a bit more varied; the folk metal aspect has been put on the backburner save for a trio of songs and the doom metal influences finally come up front and centre alongside the bm, which is of the symphonic bm variety.

That all said, I would suggest "Melodic Black Metal (early), Black/Folk Metal (mid), Symphonic Black/Doom Metal, Folk Metal (now)" for WoY's genre. Each album is certainly very distinct in it's own right.

Didn't want to make a new thread for this so i'll post it here.

http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540279336

This band has it's name in cyrillic, but i think a russian user should help transcribe it into roman letters, so t can be changed by a mod.

I've already reported it in the morning, but it still wasn't changed. The name should be Semargla Krylia.
