I will use this thread to tell everybody to stop reporting the prefix ex- to be added to members of diverse bands. Such reports will be largely ignored, when they ask only about that tag and not about links etc...

Those prefixes are currently helping to get the page more complicated and confusing for random viewers.

Yes, I just saw Demether's report about me removing/not adding ex- prefixes. Pages with so many affiliated bands don't need to be even more cluttered up with ex- prefixes.
Right after that, he also sent me a mail with the same requests. I let him know.

Yes, believe it or not, this 'band' *ugh* plays Black Metal. I have one of their releases and so does Aurvandil; I doubt that he owns more than one...
I will upload a track of this release and pm you the link...

Excellent question. The answer ("No.") lies in it.

"Merciless Onslaught

Black/Thrash Metal (early) - Old School Thrash Death Metal with Black Metal influences (now) "

I am sure it can be shortened to something like

"Black/Death/Thrash metal" or at the worst "Black/Thrash (old) - Death/Thrash metal (now)"

Opinions, mods?

Scald (UK)
http://metal-archives.com/band.php?id=20820
Genre: Extreme Avant-Garde Progressive Sludge/Doom/Grind
"Scald Myspace"
Seems like a pretty ridiculous genre descriptor. Any opinions? It could probably be shortened to Sludge/Doom/Grind, at the very least.

What does the term "EXtreme metal" actually implies?


Sworn is considered "Melodic Extreme Metal". In my opinion, it clearly is "Melodic Black Metal", or to be even more precise, (Melodic) "Black/Folk Metal".
What do you folks think?

Sworn myspace.

Also, Melancholy Pessimism is listed as Death Metal. Without wanting to be picky, "Death Metal/Grind" would be more accurate. I own "Inconsistent World", and on this album are present: extremely fast (yet clean) brutal death blast beats, growling grunts and pitch shifted vocals, along with the brutal death/grindcore riffing. No samples here though :/ .

"Extreme" is useful for bands that don't fit in established extreme genres such as black, death or grind. The best example I can think of is Cradle of Filth: to call them BM may be wrong, but simply "gothic metal" would be just as misleading.

As for the band in question, I can understand the disconfort of whoever first tagged them "melodic extreme metal". They are too much flowery, even for norsecore standards. Closer to Children of Bodom than to Satyricon or Windir, I'd add. Check out the title track of their debut, sounds like fuckin' Edguy with screeches.

I have one that's giving me a headache.

Sjenovik (atmospheric death metal w/ dronedoom & industrial influences)
http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=104461

I suggest Experimental Death/Drone or something along those lines.

By the way, what about Inner Fear (Cze)?(http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=9047. I don't think it's usual gothic metal, at least Extreme Symphonic/Gothic Metal if you don't want to add "Black Metal" to their genre.

And this band http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=37582
Heavy/Thrash Metal? I hadn't heard their first album, maybe it was heavy/thrash, but their "Freaks of Nature"(1999) sounds like alternative metal to me.

I think maybe even Raw Black Metal, Ambient, Noise will be better.
By the way another band friendly to Moloch, Deviator http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=99896, the newest release is ambient and elder releases were raw black metal sometimes close to death metal, so, maybe it will be better to change their genre to Raw Black/Death Metal, Ambient

I do not know much of their music, but not for long five releases will be in my possession. I have to rely therefore on the information presented to me by the band... hopefully this is enough.

I almost deleted Drain, but upon listening to the second half of their debut I decided the early Alice in Chains similarities were enough to keep them.

Heirdrain stays, I was sent an mp3 by one you don't know, proving that it's metal and providing me some good laughs.

Inner Fear was updated as suggested.

What about Helmet? I don't really hear many Heavy Metal in their music, I think Groove Metal would be better.

That happened to me also when I listened to it first. But looking back on which tracks I have sent you, there would have certainly been "better ones". The music of Bloody Wrath (Heirdrain side-project) is in the same vein, only worse... yes, this is actually possible.

What about Machine Head? Shouldn't their genre be changed to Half-Thrash/Groove Metal, Mallcore? They have more mallcore albums than groove albums.

Better leave it be, this would lead to the discussions, when a certain band can be considered mallcore and I know from previous topics, that in case of such bands, a wider consesus cannot be found.

Reports for Heirdrain


March 13th, 2008
Posted at 08:22

The style could be more Experimental Dark Ambient/ Harsh Noises, Black Metal

since some heirdrain release are considered more harsh Noises/Experimental than only noises

:lol:

May I repeat. do not take it too far, please...

Experimental as an additional term for his ambient/noise would be more correct, but whether or not it matters is questionable.

I have wondered why Manowar is not listed as "power metal". From my experience, that's the genre tag that is most associated with them.

It is black metal mixed with industrial elements, songs, so pretty much correct.
Once again, report only the genres, which are completely wrong or non-existant. It was told so already in the beginning of the thread.

Ultra Vomit:
Death/Grind (early), Heavy Metal/Hard Rock (now)

The bold part is wrong. They now play a parody of many genres (genres changing from a song to another) black / metalcore / heavy / gothic /grind ...

So, I guess "Various genre" (as Gwar) would be accurate.

Manowar is heavy metal, not usually associated with either the USPM or melodic PM sounds.

That space metal band is now progressive metal/rock.

Ultra Vomit updated as suggested, heavy metal/hard rock my ass.

I've been going through a number of bands with genres that should probably be changed, but before I post them, could a moderator answer these two questions?
1.) Is "brutal deathcore" considered to be a legitimate genre?
2.) Is "technical deathcore" considered to be a legitimate genre?
I apologize if this has already been discussed in another thread, but I really can't find any examples of bands playing in those two styles. I guess in most cases the genres could be changed to brutal death metal/deathcore and technical death metal/deathcore, respectively.

Same difference. "Deathcore" already implies a hybrid of death metal and metalcore.

mp3.com/artist/albedo

Would someone mind giving this a listen and telling me what genre you think it fits into.

I was thinking something along the lines of black/thrash. But the site seems to think It's just Thrash. The vocals are more black to me.
The riffs at the end of Intraspection and the Invisible Eyes sound a lot more black than thrash.

tell me what you think?

This is the "There is an inadequate genre description at a MA band thread" not the "I have no clue what this band is playing thread".

It has nothing to do with black metal. You play still rather underdeveloped modern thrash. (It is a first demo, after all.)
Semi spoken/semi shouted/growled vocals have nothing to do with black metal. There is an attempt at death growl, but that alone does not make the band death metal. If your band attempted to do play black, you have failed.
