there are two major extremes to metal.. black metal and death metal. death metal tends to have the super fast bass drum, low guttural vocals, and lyrics related to "i am going to crush your face and skull you and then eat your arms".
black metal is on the other side. it can be speedy as well, but also can be very beautiful and melodic (the kind i like). often it has dark churchy sounding synth stuff in teh background. the vocals are usually on the high end as opposed to the low like death metal. to be honest, they both sound equally as ridiculous, but i prefer black metal anyways ^_^ the lyrics tend to center, for the most part, around worshipping satan. i try to just not read the lyrics :p
then theres a whole other vein of black metal, sometimes called viking metal, or a few other names.. which focuses a lot on mythology, nothing evil or scary there. ensiferum is funny because all of their songs focus on going into battle or pagan type stuff.
i dunno. its hard to classify. black metal has its own sub genres and categories which make it kind of difficult to give a base explanation. usually tho, unless youve been exposed to it or some other extreme form of metal in the past, you wont like it.. until it grows on you ^_^ |

I think that sounds more like doom metal.

I wouldn't classify viking metal/power metal as a sub-genre of black metal because it is so much different. The vocals are within normal spectrum of a human voice, for a change, and it sounds much more happier, it's like music to lift morale before a grand fight. Much closer to gothic metal, I believe |

Most of metal is good music and as always i agree with soth(hello there!),melody in metal is massive.
I enjoy Blind Guardian a lot(they kick) on power metal,but on the topic(black) i like Dimmu(Enthroned Darkness Triumphant,what an album!),Emperor(some) and many more,ahh cant seem to remember now!
Maybe i'll post later if i find the time! |

yea, i dunno... metal is a big genre problem because theres so many and they are all kinda similar ^_^, so everyone will have a different opinion i suppose.. i was just trying to give a general statement.

i dont really agree with this. dimmu borgir is a good example. i dont know anyone who considers it anything other than "black metal".. yet it is exactly what i described here. same with agathodaimon, dismal euphony, etc. |

In the uk it's popular with 8 year olds, not with many other people

| about damn time I weighed in on this subject. As sothis well knows, i hate metal in general and probably because my brother plays it 24/7 very loud and probably because I never got the point but then again..i have my own stuff that my brother probably hates....so whatever I guess. |
