Taken from the excellent movie: Metal a Headbangers Journey. I find it to be very nice and well organised. Of course Im sure there are debatable classifications, but this is the best chart Ive seen in a long time. Id add Celtic Folk Metal on there if it were me. Also please note that Cradle of Filth is British, not Norweighian.

Other than that. Actually damn good. |

But where's ambient metal?
And why isn't King Crimson in there (presumably under early or progressive metal)? |

Doom came before Stoner. 
And where's Sludge? haha. |

The band has reinvented itself several times, beginning as a hard rocking psychedelic band on up through speed metal when Scott Travis joined.
Actually i would question the logic of making NWOBH a genre category at all since it more of an era than a musical subdivision.

They did have some solid work beforehand, with Sad Wings of Destiny, etc, etc. That is definitely early roots metal.
Seeing some of their outfits and stuff during their Rocka Rolla days... 
BUT. To call them Power Metal? That's the real error.
And I agree with you on NWOBHM being a time period rather than a genre. I don't classify Maiden as such, I just say Heavy Metal. |

re: people asking why "_____ metal" isn't there, theres so many subgenres of metal now that it'd take about 50pages to fit them all in now!

If anyone thinks Grindcore came from Swedish Death metal, they know nothing about metal.
Grindcore came from people listening to Crust Punk like Discharge. Crust isn't even on there.
I hate it.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Texas | | Yeah...screw that chart. Sam Dunn has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. He should take his anthropology degree and stick it. 
Although I don't totally agree with his categorization, it is pretty accurate. Just because somebody's favorite band isn't on the list, don't get your panties in a wad. I don't think there's enough bandwidth to get every band on the chart. |

| | | | Cradle and Dimmu should of been under 3rd wave bm but other than that its pretty cool |

Renders it completely pointless to me. Seems like a guy with no actual knowledge of the history of metal has tried to put it together based on when the bands were together and where they're from.

I always thought Napalm Death were just a heavy, angry punk band!
Plus, classifying Rush as metal is a shocking disservice. |

Its actually pretty good.
This chart is off in several places (COC is metalcore?!?!) but the documentary is actually pretty badass. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
