Doesn't mean I don't like it though, just can't ever think of the name of the band whenever I listen to the music.

I dont see why not, I sounds very metal-ish. I really dont give a **** about the sub-genres of metal because people get way too defensive over their favourite sub-genre. If it sounds like metal, it's metal. End of. You can argue this if you really wish.
And I only listen to a few of COF's songs. Anything not from Nymphetamine is probably bad, and there's only about 5-6 songs I like on Nymphetamine anyway.

I like the crunching guitars personally, and thats about it. I'm ot a massive slipknot fan.
Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Sonic Syndicate, Insomnium, Killswitch Engage, Nightwish, Opeth, Trivium, All That Remains, Arch Enemy, Breaking Benjamin, Metallica, Sonata Arctica, After Forever and recently Kivimetsän Druidi are more my thing.

Ofcourse they do? You can't sing a country & western song screaming from the deepest, darkest pits of your stomach, for example. It just doesn't work.

should have been 'distortion and vocals alone' sorry. Song structure and instruments are the giveways for genre
@Caael: well, some genres are clearly better than others, os it does help if you know your stuff

Breaking Benjamin is not Metal, it's Hard Rock like Disturbed (BB is great though)
What's the difference between my kind of metal and all the stuff that people like Laharl listen to?
Bullet for my Valentine (new album is more metalish), Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, I Killed the Prom Queen, Sonic Syndicate (Denied is fantastic) and yea a bit of Slipknot/Stonesour in there somewhere.
Is Underoath metal?

The new BFMV album (Scream. Aim. Fire) was nowhere near as good as The Poison. And all of Only Inhuman (by Sonic Syndicate) is fantastic. Eden Fire was better though, and I haven't got their latest album yet. (Love and other Tragedies)

Affirmative on that bro.
@Caeel: No, I define quality of music by vocal talent and technicality of instruments.
Take Disturbed for instance. Someone once told me that the drums follow the guitars, and the guitars follow the vocals. And if you pay close attention, they do. The whole lot is the same thing, played on different instruments. I'll admit that it can sound good, but it's just fabricated crap that (for me) once listened too more than once or twice, begins to sound like sh*t. I do have all their albums, but to me, they were more of a gateway band than anything I really "got into".

Is Underoath metal?
All those bands with the exception of Slipknot and Sonic Syndicate's Eden Fire album are metalcore. Metalcore is a fusion of harcore punk with heavy metal, usually consisting of an emphasis on breakdowns, fast riffs, dual lead guitars, basslines that tend to follow the guitar work and the use of double kick or double bass drums. Vocals are usually shouted, though recent metalcore bands tend to throw some clear vox in.
Whereas i usually listen to Melodic Death Metal; a fusion of the melody of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with the intensity of death metal. It contains a lot of melodic guitar and keyboard riffs, a lot of melodic guitar and keyboard solos, the occasional bit of acoustic work and traditional death growl vocals that usually more audible than those of regular death metal. Somewhat amusingly, Sonic Syndicate's first album 'Eden Fire' is melodic death metal XD
and yes Underoath are metal, metalcore in particular.

Does genre really matter though? I'll listen to anything as long as it sounds good, regardless of genre.

Benjamin are great but I can't seem to get into anything other then Phobia, I tried Saturate on the way to and from work last week and the only song that caught my attention was 'Home'. Hmmm I love both Bullet albums now, I loved Poison but it was kind of all over the place style wise, whereas Scream Aim Fire is more refined, and they really amped up the guitar rifts, although it is a lot less screamo then Poison was, but they claim to be metal so I guess it fits.
And I've only listened to Only Inhuman by Sonic.

I think metalcore is more my style, I've listened to some other stuff like Lamb of God, Childern of Bodom and some stuff I've seen you list but I'm still more a punk kinda kid I guess, I like being able to understand vocals for the most part.

Children Of Bodom are a favourite of mine, again. And Alexi is one of the most epic guitars in the scene of... what ever sub-genre there are. I just had a look at Wiki, and even they don't know.

and that's why you dont pay attention to Wikipedia
fair point in regards to Bodom (although how they are 'neo-classical metal' i'll never know), but to label Kalmah and Wintersun 'extreme power metal' is just ignorant stupidity.
Only Bodom worth listenening to really is 'Something Wild' and 'Hatebreeder', which are both MDM with a heavy power metal influence

Horrible documentary is horrible. The genre tree is all wrong.
Lol@Cradle of Filth being Norwegian Black Metal, when they're not even Norwegian. :P
And lol@Opeth being 'Goth Metal' when they're Progressive Metal.
And yeah, Nu-Metal isn't even a genre. It's a subculture. Just like 'Alternative Metal.'
Anyways, just so I won't seem totally like an opinionated ass, I'll post my own last.fm for peoples' viewing enjoyment.
Some of my favourite Metal bands are:
Axel Rudi Pell (Traditional Heavy Metal)
Vanden Plas (Progressive Metal)
Mindflow (Progressive Metal)
Dream Theater (Progressive Metal)
Fates Warning (Progressive Metal)
Grave Digger (Heavy/Power/Speed Metal)
Anacrusis (Progressive/Thrash Metal)
Communic (Progressive Heavy/Power Metal)
And just in case you guys aren't familiar with it:

They were in "Stoner Metal", which I've never heard of anyway... And Yes, the genre tree thing was way off. Besides that though, I thought it was pretty good.

@Mycarayne: Tarja ruined it.
I mean, I really just cannot listen to Tarja-era Nightwish without wanting to shut it off. It's really bland most of the time. But I can listen to DPP and find it interesting no problem. Iunno, I'm somewhat picky with Power Metal these days.

Your musical compatibility with Pukeit is Very High
Music you have in common includes Pain of Salvation, Hypocrisy, Opeth, At the Gates and Dream Theater.
Nice. :lol:
