Favorite type of metal
 

whats your favorite type of metal?

br00tal metals.

Classic metal like Black Sabbath.

Industrial or just Hard Rock I guess.

i cant choose....not sure what to consider shadows fall to be....or dimmu borgir..or metallica....


ahhhhh *head explodes

thrash
black
heavy
they all rule

goth/industrial/classic etc basically anything that rocks

love nin and rammstein too

id have to say thrash..gottal love suicidal tendencies and anthrax

damn i missed Classic metal. i put rap metal instead. well, vote regular melodic metal if its classic because classic is usually regular melodic metal.

I'm rather fond of stainless steel, myself.

ay caramba!!

If Children Of Bodom fall under power, then power it is.

Children of Bodom fall under death metal. Power metal is like Pantera. or is it...... correct me if im wrong.

Pantera power metal lol.

Bodom are NOT power metal. Listen to Dragonforce or Manowar. THAT is power Metal. Bodom are Death/Black ish.

Melodic Death.

Manowar isn't Power metal either.

Power Metal: Therion, Dragonforce, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Leaves Eyes.

that is all.

I'd say Bodom's music is largely Power but with Black Metal vocals and so I classified them as Power.

:laughing:

Yeah, hilarious I know...

There NOT power metal.

What would you classify them as then?

Death Metal.

Haha, you've gotta be kidding me. Have you actually listened to any Death they are not heavy enough to fit into either genre. I'll admit that, yeah they do have some Black influences but they're still largely a power band.

Have you even heard any power metal? They sound nothing like Dragonforce or Dream Evil or anything.

Ok if thats what you want to do then it's fine with me.

Couldn't Choose
Black
Nu-metal
NWOAHM (New wave of American Heavy Metal, Eg Chimaira)
and a few others.

NO, you douche! They equal death metal, now shut up!

i put british, forgot american. if its american, vote for the british one i guess, counts for both.

They clearly aren't brutal enough to be put into Death Metal and they certainly don't have the growling vocals. I can see how some people may argue that they have some black metal influences, especially in the vocals but overall they are too melodic.

Have you ever actually listened to any Death Metal? Download some Cryptopsy or something and tell me they sound like COB.

If you want to try and argue your case and prove that I'm a "Douche" you could at least put up a well informed argument for your believing that they are death metal with the criteria that show they would fit into said genre.

In my opinon, if you really want to get stupid about it then Bodom would fall under Neo-Classical influenced, Power influenced Metal with Black Metal vocals. It's people like you that make the whole genre thing rediculous because you proclaim to know about styles of music when I'm fairly sure you have no idea of the history and general sounds of the genre in question and so people have to invent even more stupidly named, rediculous genres which cover a niche of about 5 bands just so you can understand them and not keep sounding off.

Wikipedia isn't a legitimate source for anything, especially music. They're not anything like any other power metal bands, so they aren't power metal. It's that simple.

If you're going to continue arguing without and facts to back up what you're saying then I'm not even going to bother responding on the matter as this is just spamming this thread up to no end.

I think my logic is fine. I don't like death metal so I'm not going to speak on it but they sound like a lot of death metal I've heard. The simple thing is they're NOT power metal and I think my logic is solid on that.

Quit being a dick, I said I was done you should be too. They're power metal, they sound power metal, smell power metal, must be power metal. Death metal? what a joke. I cited websites, you just say what you say is right.

Children, please. Get back to the topic.

It should be pointed out that Wikipedia does no produce hard facts and requires people to submit information for it to be included: someones opinion is just as valid as the information on Wikipedia.

WIKIPEDIA ALSO SAYS DRAGONFORCE ARE POWER METAL, DO THEY SOUND LIKE COB? NO, GOT IT? OR DO I NEED TO BE MORE CLEAR HERE FAGGOT?

They do sound similar.

Now you're just being difficult to hide your idiocy.
