I've listened to the entire Sepulchral Voices compilation and heavy/thrash is far more accurate than power/thrash.

It means youre the owner of the truth?
If you dont want to put Power at least put Speed Thrash or simple as Thrash Metal (like warpath from chile who is Power Thrash too)
Thanks.

It's a terrible custom title tbh... But maybe that's the whole point of having one?

You made a report about this a few days ago with only an old flyer included as "proof". I listened to their songs on Myspace then and came to the same conclusion as Doomsday did. No power metal that I could hear.

Also, Doomsday looks weird with a custom title...

I don't listen the "heavy" part too (We are talking of 80s Power Metal, not the melodic genre of helloween/stratovarios right?). Why you dont put Speed/Thrash Metal or simple as Thrash Metal like I said before?

Who labeled these fellows with Death Metal? Minimal Death Metal influence in there. They play Symphonic Black Metal.

As you might have noticed, the band was accepted 10 years ago, based on the 2001 demo. The band probably played Death Metal back then. Do you have any samples of their 2010 material?

EDIT: Just found their whole 2010 EP for streaming at the label's site. How you hear any Symphonic Black Metal in this is beyond me. This is Melodic Death Metal bordering Metalcore.

Only saw this thread after posting the report. Sorry in advance!

The Black Dahlia Murder:
Obviously debatable, but I'm curious is it really necessary to still have the metalcore tag on them? I understand they had it on their first 3 albums for sure, but it seems that since Deflorate they've shed themselves of that label (at least in my opinion) and created a good solid tech death album. Plus when you hear the experimentation in Ritual and now this new song "Into The Everblack" I just find it really hard to give them that title now.

Maybe you could have something saying like "Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore (Early) Melodic/Technical Death Metal (Now)?"

Nah, it's fine like that and they're not even technical death. We prefer not having overlong genres.

Fair enough. I can still understand why they would get the -core suffix

Helvede, it's actually their earlier demo. I'm talking about their earliest demo and not the EP. And in fact, I never listened to their latest release, I have no idea what they played later. But indeed, their 2001 demo is symphonic black with some death influences. Did you hear the demo? I think I have mp3 somewhere but I'm just too busy to up them here.

I'm just going to quote myself from the thread about the new album:

BastardHead wrote:

[Calling TBDM metalcore] matters because it's flat out willful wrongness.


It's basically this. I'm not a metalcore detractor, I listen to plenty of outright whiny metalcore, so the term doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth, but the fact is that it was never a part of TBDM's sound. They had that image, but their music has always been straight up melodic death metal. If you'd never saw what the band or their merch looked like, you'd never use that tag to describe them.

We have a band that has never used clean vocals or lyrical themes about anything other than horror and gore being labeled as metalcore, a band that has never used pig squeals or inhales as deathcore, and a band that has never even used breakdowns being labeled as both. Seriously, I just want one good explanation as to how in the unholy fuck they can and should be considered -core.


I stand by the last sentence, somebody please point out how on Earth they've earned that suffix through their music and if it makes sense I promise I'll shut up about it. I have no idea why the scene kids latched on to them, but they're a complete aberration when it comes to scene kids' tastes. I firmly believe that if it wasn't for their image and merch and tourmates early on, they wouldn't have the fanbase they do, and without those four things they'd never be labeled as such. If they were a bunch of dudes with beards and long hair, I don't think this pointless debate would have ever started.

For real, where is the metalcore in songs like this?


Or hell, even from their first album:


If that sounds like As I Lay Dying to you, it's because it sounds like AILD without the breakdowns or clean vocals, AKA the melodeath parts of AILD, not the -core parts. Ergo: Melodeath

I can hear the elements that give them the core influenced sound, but I'm having trouble putting words to it. I'll leave it to a moderator to explain.

It came to my attention that a couple of Portuguese bands are a bit mislabelled on MA in terms of genre tagging. First is Sacred Sin, which is tagged as "death/black". Even though their last couple of albums showed a more black-oriented direction (think Acheron with keyboards and female chants) their first three albums are nowhere near black metal. I've posted several songs of those three on the "nobodies thread" on the General Discussion board, check them out please. Their nineties albums are pretty much Morbid Angel/Nocturnus worship with a ritualistic, sometimes borderline on gothic, atmosphere. Their later two albums are indeed more blackened and as such I think a separation should be made, something like "Death Metal (1991-1999), Death/Black Metal (2001-present). Although bear in mind I haven't listened to their 2009 EP so I can't vouch for what's on that one.

The other one is Masque Of Innocence. Granted I'm not familiar with their demo but the genre tag on the "early" bit should be right since they apparently played an hybrid of those genres back then. However how someone can describe their album as "black/death" is beyond me. It's straight up modern death metal. Three songs available from it on the ReverbNation page.

Has anybody else listened to the new Dawn of Ashes album or 2012 split EP? Sounds like they've moved back into the Industrial realm. Most of the new album and the EP sound like slow-paced Industrial with guitars. At its heaviest points, it reminds me of early Manson. I think their genre should be changed to reflect that the only metal releases they had were the "Harvest the Impaled" single and the "Genocide Chapters" album. It should also be noted that their new material clearly differs from their earlier dance inspired Industrial in that it is more influenced by rock and metal. So I'm suggesting something like this:

Industrial/EBM (2001-2007), Melodic Death/Black Metal (2008-2011), Electronic/Industrial Rock (2012-present)

Anathema full-length (2013):

Compression
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Compression/84863

Band formed in 1993 listed as "Deathcore". The band seems to be more sludge/doom-influenced to me than anything. I feel like there should be another descriptor in there too, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Possibly "Avant-Garde Sludge/Doom Metal".

The band's myspace:

Hideous Divinity was listed as an old-school/standard death metal band when I hear more brutal/tech death than old-school.

Soilwork is now "metalcore/melodic groove metal"? I hardly listen to the band so it doesn't mean much to me, but it seems like a strange tag.

Then you should listen to them. It fits perfectly fine their current sound.

To elaborate, we want to get rid of the "modern metal" tag since it's meaningless at worst and vague at best. This seemed like a preferable, accurate alternative.

I looked through the Rotting Christ profile and I see the genre completely ignores the grindcore early days and has the ultimately vague tag of Extreme Metal there, what the fuck is that? such a blanket term. I checked the reports before suggesting changes and it seems this has been suggested a few times only to be closed. In my personal opinion it should be

black metal/grindcore (early)
black metal(mid)
melodic black metal(later)

maybe a bit fleshed out in certain areas but I think that pretty much covers it, their early demos are so obviously grind it's not funny. And the first two albums are just black metal and after that it goes towards a more gothic/melodic black metal career. I love these guys and have listened to all their stuff.

Yeah, it's a bit tough to get it concise and accurate and I want to get the opinion of a few more moderators before changing it.

I'm slowly working to remove ambiguous genre tags, but this involves extensive listening to bands that are alternative/extreme/modern metal as well as mallcore.

Obscurum proposed a genre to me on Facebook: Thrash Metal (early), Hard Rock/Heavy Metal (later). That's fine for me.

Derigin and I discussed it and were considering Hard Rock/Heavy/Thrash Metal (later). You'd know this if you weren't currently using an iPad in a ziploc bag while floating in an inner tube in the middle of the lake in the woods of Quebec, or wherever you are now! :P

Hey, I'm doing the exact same thing I do at home but outside in the forest! But yeah, since Death Magnetic is a return to their "roots", I guess it's accurate.

Was any consideration given to my post on Mystifier? Just curious.

Also, Laceration (http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Laceration/21816) plays death/doom, not really pure death metal:

Does anyone else feel that Melvins being listed as "Various" is kind of lame, especially since it's listed that they play "grunge, stoner rock, sludge, drone, hardcore influenced rock, or experimental pieces".I think that grunge/stoner/sludge/hardcore would be fine as it encompasses the majority of what they've done, even if it leaves out a few outliers in their sprawling discography (ambient, drone ect).

Their early demos are not really relevant to their discography and overall sound that they developed later, which is what the genre tag is for. Plenty of bands have early demos that are of a completely different genre than the rest of their career. The grindcore debuts are mentioned in the additional notes, which is more than enough.

And later Rotting Christ is neither black nor gothic metal. It's just some form of weirdly dark-sounding metal with harsh vocals, so we used that tag because nothing else fit.

I've been a close fan of Rotting Christ since the mid 90's. Even I had a hard time figuring out what they are playing today. The current description fits well enough and I think that Morrigan pretty much nailed it there.

Two-three demos, which weren't even really considered official by the band, even thought they did release and spread them publicly, are not enough for the grindcore tag.

Lethargy (US): http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Lethargy/2945

Okay, so this band is listed as "technical death metal". I was going to list these guys in the "Why was band X accepted?" thread, but listening to their demo it actually does sound like, well, technical death metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEJgwsoFSUA

All the other stuff I'm hearing from them, however, sounds more -core than metal. Sounds like wanky mathcore with tech-death influences that are just sort of stumbled across rather than intentionally planned.

So "Technical Death Metal (early), Mathcore/Technical Death Metal (later)"? I guess that's what it'd be, but that seems really wordy...

Ascended is listed as "Doom/Death Metal" but their stuff sounds more like regular Finnish death metal (which always had a few doomy elements, but not enough to make it death/doom.)

I started to listen to Rising Moon and it sounds like melodic death metal, not death metal. The album "Area 51" sounds like almost like Kalmah without keyboards. I see no relation to Bolt Thrower or Jungle Rot, and two reviewers even call it melodic death metal.
