    Grindcore

    http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Styles/R/Rock/Heavy_Metal/Grindcore/Bands_and_Artists/ I'm looking for grindcore bands. The above is a partial list that could use updating. It seems to me there's several categories. Some bands are historical, and then there's current bands that aren't...

    Regarding nu metal and metalcore

    I disagree. Metallic hardcore has been around for years, but metalcore is pretty clearly a hybrid with mostly late hardcore influences. Korn and Static-X use the rhythms of rap, but apply them to the guitars more than the vocals. You can apply hip-hop in any form, kind of like that Autechre...

    Industrial metal: Metal or not metal?

    Ministry is obviously not metal. Neither is Godflesh. They're doing their own thing and should be respected on those grounds. Originally, both bands disclaimed metal.

    They flaked out. The best response is the simplest: sodomize them.

    SLAYER Guitarist JEFF HANNEMAN Dead At 49 - May 2, 2013

    I don't think we should jump to conclusions that Jeff was a heavy drinker. A number of sources say otherwise. More likely, heavy meds wrecked his liver. The doctors aren't going to own up to it. Would you?

    DEATH METAL UNDERGROUND

    Interview: Varg Vikernes After creating in the course of four early albums an impressive body of art that essentially ended black metal as it was by raising the bar beyond what others could easily participate in, Vikernes was imprisoned for sixteen years for his alleged role in church arson...

    DEATH METAL UNDERGROUND

    Põhjast – Matused Unlike most entries in this sub-genre, Matused is not campy hard rock with metal licks and prolonged droning riffs. Instead, it cuts back to the core of what made heavy metal great, with the amazingly adept vocals of Eric Syre guiding a guitar-driven, riff-based band...

    DEATH METAL UNDERGROUND

    Slayer Most of us just “attend” to things, like jobs and families, and hope for the best. The giants among us are driven onward by some belief in something larger than themselves or than the social group at large. They are animated by ideas. For Jeff Hanneman, the idea was both...

    This sounds like all of humanity. Be selfish, destroy things, then blame religion/government/heavy metal/whatever.

    Death Metal

    Deeds of Flesh is great; some tech-deth influences, but fewer than you might think. Still shreds!

    Ever feel too old to be into extreme metal?

    You may have to ditch the tshirts, abandon the hair (or have it fall out) and possibly even stop going to shows so frequently. However, it never leaves you. It's also a better surprise for someone to find a metalhead in an unexpected place, than to find someone hanging on to the surface...
