i think we need to make a metal list putting everything into tis "sub genre" and recomended/best bands from each section.
 

darkbunny

The Ocean, Mastodon, uneXpect, Genghis Tron (if they count), Hacksaw to the Throat, Between the Buried and Me, The Number Twelve Looks Like You...

I think that about does it. Protest the Hero if they count. But seriously, The Ocean. Fucking incredible.

Okay Viking Metal is one of those things that technically is a genre but all the "Viking Metal" bands really fall into other, broader categories like Power Metal and Black Metal. If you are going to list Viking Metal and stuff like that then you forgot stoner metal, glam metal, speed metal, gothic metal, drone metal, and a whole host of other genres that aren't really broad enough to encompass a lot of bands.

On a side note, I always meant to listen to Dream Theater but never really got around to it so now I am listenin to a bunch of Dream Theater

thats gonan be the problem with "the list" 1st of all for taht we need to decide on the genres to use the obvous ones are

Black, Death, power, clasic, glam(rock), thrash and Nu

(ive prob missed some but they the main ones i can think of)

oh and standerd metal

the the arguements of which band should go where comes and its gets intresting but in doing this we need to set "guidelines" for each which i not quite sure what they can be

Nu does NOT count...
 

GatitoNeku

lol industrial... is that even metal? it's more like nu metal.

edit:RoseSunglasses, you forgot neo classical and rap metal.

All of this brings up another question, what genre's of heavy metal actually count for this list? Most death/black/power metal fans don't typically think that things like rap and nu metal are considered heavy metal (which i agree with), and yet they have metal in their name. In order to make an accurate list, you'd have to create a definition of heavy metal that all "true" heavy metal bands fall into.

So basically, this list thing probably isn't the best idea :P unless you want to take all that time to create it.

Industrial is not a metal genre, it's an electronic genre. Industrial metal exists where metal and electronica cross over, but it's not very common. Examples would be Rammstein, Pain, KMFDM etc

Viking metal isn't a genre because viking doesn't imply anything musical, just lyrical.

I listen to some metal like Kreator, Behemoth, Megadeth, Celtic Frost, Overkill, Iron Maiden and some others. I mainly listen to thrash and heavy metal.

Oh and there is such thing as industrial metal. Ever heard of Ministry?
