Metal Died With Dimebag (rock, genre, albums, fan, metallica)

I was actually referring to bands such as Mordred & Mind Funk who all started off from thrash backgrounds.

I sampled Mindfunk, only their first album really sounds like metal. And that album sounds nothing like Korn. Their other two albums sound more like grunge or alternative and didn't sound very metal at all, but they remind more of Korn.

Mordred sounds more like that funky thrash. It feels more like gimicky type deal, going overboard with the funk over a general thrash routine. This doesn't sound like Korn at all either.

So in other words they're not metal based on a technicality

Ok then.

Not sure what you mean...

Korn is Nu-Metal as we all know, which is a type of Metal. I understand the dislike of Nu-Metal by fans of other types of Metal, however they still fall under the larger title of Metal.

Nu Metal is not a type of metal. Names can be deceiving but the term refers to the slight influences of metal. However, the alternative rock, grunge, and hip hop elements far overshadow any metal traits making it more akin to rock then even trying to approach metal.

Well, if it were up to me I'd put Nu-Metal under the umbrella of Metal. But, I guess it's not. When I hear Korn I think Metal, but then again I don't know much more about Nu-Metal than Korn anyway.

To be honest I don't really care what you call it, I'm not even a big fan of the style anyway.

What we need now however is a separate genre just for DragonForce. I'm a big fan of Power Metal, but not of DragonForce. They should be called Silly Metal, or Stupidly Fast Metal, or maybe WTF Is This Metal.

Judging from your list, it doesn't look like you've tried too hard to find metal you like. You've barely scratched the surface and thrown up the white flag.
