''Map of Metal''

Flume · 06-03-2011, 03:11 PM

I don't know if anyone have seen this site: Map of Metal

It's this really nice idea trying to map the influences and origin of different styles of metal while painting it up as a map for some graphical goodness. If it's already been linked, I'm sorry. I couldn't find it with a search.

Cool site. Really interesting for those of us who are genre-specific nutjobs.

Stumbledupon that. Spent like an hour reading it, stoned, enjoying the connections and art.

Pretty awesome, saw it a few months ago. Has a few issues that some especially anal people might get mad about, but I think it's incredibly detailed for what it is.

I thought it was an interesting resource and really accurate in terms of what came from what, but band examples for the 90s and 00s were sometimes inaccurate. A map like this is pretty much a necessity

I had an idea in my head for a map of all musical genres, and then I saw this. If this is how big and complex this genre can get... I don't think I can do one for all of music. That's crazy big already.

Need a bigger canvas...

Maybe I missed seeing them on the map? but I never seen Judas Priest mentioned. Judas Priest should be one of the most innovative and influential bands to the metal genre ,period.
I personally hold "Priest" above Black Sabbath, as far as my opinion goes. Judas Priest, one of the most influential bands to" Metal", then Sabbath or Led Zeppelin, etc.

Id say sabbath is bounds above Zeppelin or Priest in influencing metal musicians. There way more bands citing BS than the others. Not to mention there is a reason Halford is a member of OZZY's festival and not the other way around.
