rock music definition
What is the Metal music genre?
I can’t find a decent definition besides rock in the 60′s-70′s. Please list some bands too.
Well, it’s a pretty long story, but I’ll summarize it: Metal used to be a subgenre of rock, which was just a lot more aggresive, but now it’s so big that it counts as a genre of its own. There are a lot of subgenres, but I’ll cover as many as I can:
Heavy metal: bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc. They tend to have a lighter sound than most metal bands.
Power metal: Iced Earth, Dragonforce, 3 inches of blood, etc. Very fast tempo, high pitched vocals with usually no screaming, very technical for all instruments.
Metalcore: mixes hardcore with metal. There tends to be a lot of screaming, double bass, two guitarists and sometimes breakdowns. Bands: All that remains, the Devil wears Prada, As I lay Dying, Underoath, etc.
Technical Death Metal: Tends to have lots of extremely fast tempos, extremely technical on all instruments, lots of growls and low pitched vocals, blast beats, etc. Bands: Necrophagist, Cryptopsy, Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Decapitated, etc.
Melodic Death Metal: pretty much technical death metal mixed with power metal. Very fast tempos and very technical on all instruments, but there can also be singing, melodic guitar lines, and a lot more guitar solos. Bands: Children of Bodom, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Darkest Hour, Soilwork, etc.
Those are the most important ones I can think of. You should probably be able to find a subgenre that fits you.
