What genres out there do you find completely useless? I think the whole point of this thread back in the old MS was not coming out and saying what you hate about current genres. The point was to talk about sub-genre names that people just make up due to lyrical content, image, etc...

Kariasakis7 i'm not sure that i follow your idea but i think that you shouldn't add Windir to standard black metal. It's a bit different, lots of guitar solos, clean vocals, some folk and so on.


But That I mean Windir has them own style there are not so much band swho play like them, maybe 2-5 not more

Oh sorry then, i misunderstood you. I agree that Windir is very unique. In fact i know only one band that play in same style - Sigtyr. There are some other bands but they all have only 1 demo with few songs and i don't count them.


Yes I agree IMO there are fiew bands who has them own style
In Norway ist Windir, Finland - Wyrd, UK - Foretfather, and so on
IMO ist hard to criate original sound nowdays seems all metal styles are so full whit bands its not psoible be original

Here is a genre I thought about last night while playing Dungeons & Dragons. POWERGORE It is power metal mixed with gore metal. So instead of singing about riding into battle upon your mighty unicorn to slay the minions of the Goblin King and rescue the Princess of the enchanted Apple Orchard (and of course never turning back on your friends) they would sing about disemboweling a gnome bard.

Neo-classical is actually a style of music...not a style of metal, but a style of classical music....it was popular in the beginning of the 20th century I guess....for example Stravinski and Carl Orff were neo-classical composers....

How may Shoegazing sound? Is there a difference between Dark Wave and Darkwave? Cowpunk, Psychobilly sound awesome.....but where's Hillibilly?

Well but all these styles here don't necessarily need to be metal...As I said..neo-classical is indeed an existent style of classical music...and well...Shoegazing doesn't sound very metal.....what music should make you gaze at your shoes....

Shoegaze ISN'T very metal.

If you're interested, check out My Violent Ego-Carried Along By Fate for example. I don't know many bands (yet), as I am still discovering this genre.

Would you mind explaining why some of these are stupid genres names?

Rockabilly, Cprog, Cowpunk Symphonic Black, Christian Metal and Bubblegum Pop all make sense to me. I would really like to hear your reasoning for these.

I do agree, something like "Horror Hardcore" is a little too much.

Have you ever listened to dark psy-trance? The name is actually quite fitting. Same goes for symphonic black metal

There is nothing called Suomi Metal (fuck that!) Just some stupid "genre name" used for bands that come from Finland. I have never ever even comen across this before here on metalstorm. Our bands go into the same genres as bands from every other countrys.....

Suomi metal is NOT, and I repeat not used for Finnish bands exclusively. It is used for bands that have a sound such as newer Sentenced, Poisonblack, etc.

I don't know when yo registered but I think it was Metal Storm that introduced the term Suomi Metal for bands such as the ones I mentioned in my post just above this one, for they do not belong in the gothic category and it is somewhat a specific sound that originated in Finland.
He,, we even Had the SUomi Metal category in the awards of 2005 and 2006.

Well in that case...., i just saw the topic in the general music discussion about BEST SUOMI METAL BAND EVER and only bands from Finland were mentioned.

And Sentenced for example was in its early years an DEATH METAL BAND (an Finnish one YES) with IMO influences from bands outside the country, dont know what to call their newer music but i just find the SUOMI METAL genre sounding so stupid and telling nothing about the music other than the orgin of the band. And as another example Amophis= death metal also that had lyrics about Kalevala, but there are many other foreign (for me) bands that are having the same kind of stuff in their music from their own country.
If something had to be called SUOMI METAL i think it should be bands like Kotiteollisuus and Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukas.
