Yeah it was at Hammersmith Odeon in London, and that you tube track just reminded me how bad they were! The music is tolerable, but those vocals drive me insane! Did you hear Candlemass before Sabbath at all? If I had heard these first I would have probably been into these instead, but next to Sabbath-it's just a rehash! It's only an opinion though.
---It can vary in pretty much any way! Classical music is influencing some bands (listen to Kayo Dot).--- I really like Kayo Dot and that is where a genre tag is justified.

E.g. funeral doom might be to doom what the Canterbury scene is to prog. Quote:

I lump all my favorite metal bands into the following just to keep it simple. Mainly for the purpose of organizing my cd case and nothing more.
Nu-metal (This includes Alternative Metal) Metalcore Deathcore Grindcore Heavy Metal Thrash Metal Power Metal "Dark" Metal (Not a genre name, of course, but includes Black Metal, Symphonic Metal, Gothic Metal, and eventually Doom Metal) Death Metal (Includes both melo and brutal, and the in between). As far as progressive metal goes, I have very VERY few of them, and I'll throw them in whatever genre I hear most from. I don't look down on any particular genre, and I'm not arrogant enough to deny that there are generic bands in all genres. Every genre has knock offs. I just draw the line somewhere. Like, for instance, I would most likely favor any Death metal band, generic or not, over any nu-metal band everytime, and I'll most likely look at every nu-metal band and say "typical nu-garbage", yet my favorite band overall happens to be a nu-metal band (Disturbed). I'll go to shows that headline a band I love but have various hardcore acts following them who all play the same ****ing breakdowns everytime and I'll b*tch about it, BUT then I'll put in All That Remains or Elysia in my Cd player and rock out with my **** out. I guess what I'm trying to say is while I use genres mainly to organize my cd's, I'll use them in order to find music I like and avoid music I don't like. Odds are I'm gonna find more bands I like in Death Metal than in nu-metal because of innovation and technicality. I go with the odds. It's kind of how when I'm going through a bad neighborhood and I see a group of black guys, my white man instincts will tell me to avoid them, but I won't condemn an entire race because of that. I've read this and I will understand if you call me a retard. I kind of babble on now and then. I'll give you a dollar if you understand what I'm saying.

Metal band names however are appalling. Fragments Of Duration? WTF is that bullsh*t? I also wouldn't compare this thing to the Canterbury scene, since for one the Canterbury scene was more of a movement among musicians from a certain area who just happened to know each other and play in each others bands than it was a genre distinguished by a certain sound.

As much as I love prog, I've never really understood Canterbury as a label anyway.

Can we start a list of all metal/Rock related genres please? So far:
Heavy Metal Thrash Metal Speed Metal Power Metal Glam Metal Death Metal Prog Metal Nu Metal Rap Metal Metalcore Pomp Rock Progressive Rock Doom Metal Funeral Doom Space Rock Psychedelic Rock Deathcore Grindcore Gothic Metal Battle Metal Southern Rock Black Metal Symphonic Metal Viking Metal I KNOW I have missed loads! I'm not the biggest indie fan, but it has no subgenres, and covers a HUGE musical spectrum. QFT. Stoner Rock Sludge Metal
