Since Obtained Enslavement's 1st album and earlier demos aren't symphonic black, could they get changed to black metal up until 95/96/97 (not sure when the change occurred, somewhere between albums). Also the 92 demo sounds rather death/blackened death, although someone should probably double check that as I don't really trust my judgement with identifying death metal.


we have it In main genre
1989-1992 Death metal
1992-2000 Symphonic black metal

But 92-at least 94 aren't symphonic black. That's what I said the 1st time. They're more like regular black.
EDIT; I had the 2 demos round the wrong way. The 93 one sounds more death-y than the 92 one.

Added styles for Omnerod:
2009- Extreme progressive metal
2009- Avantgarde metal

It's hard to categorise these guys into a refined style, since they're all over the place. Post-metal, fusion, tech death, and prog death are also quite prevalent styles in their writing

I don't think I'm the only who will "wtf?!" listing a band as both prog and avant at the same time, so I'll give the album a spin to see if I can come up with something a little more specific.

Edit: As I expected there's nothing avantgarde about it. The prevalent sound I hear is prog death, but there is also some non-death prog as well. All in all I'd say the release is primarily prog death, but one could go with extreme prog instead if more people feel it to be more balanced between the death and non-death prog.

Probably right. Like I said, the style change came somewhere between the first 2 albums. Thanks.

Would it be inappropriate to tag them as both extreme prog and prog death?

I honestly don't recall much death metal in Omnerod. Just because there are harsh vocals going on it doesn't mean the music is death metal. Extreme prog probably suits them best as it covers most things (and Omnerod covers a lot of sounds and styles).

In fairness Omnerod are harder to pigeon-hole than most, seeing as their music employs prog, mathcore, djent, ambient (possibly some death metal here and there) and the kitchen sink.

Progressive and avantgarde aren't mutually exclusive. Take my Oddland suggestion for example: a mix of traditional prog metal and math metal. It just doesn't sound like typical math metal because of the out-of-the-box approach

I think that this album needs to be dealt with. I'm fine with mixing the various Devin Townsend stuff but this needs either
a) its own band profile or
b) deleted, since its country rock and not metal and its own separate entity apart from the Band and Project.

They were re-added as separate albums. We need to keep it consistent on this site. For example: Devin's double album is under one album.

Well, MS needs to be consistent. It also depends on how the band views the constituent albums - as separate entities or as two parts.

Talking about Sopor Aeternus, I checked her profile and I saw that the neoclassical tag was added twice with different a spelling. We should choose one and ditch the other.

Well Z2 is only availiable (as far as I know) as a double album, the Sky Blue and Dark Matters aren't availiable separatly. (fuck you, red spell check line)

Sounds like Z2 is a double album to me. So somebody transfer all the second album info into the first as disc 2, then let me know when done and I'll delete the second Z2 entry. K?
