www.MapOfMetal.com

I am a f*kin metal head.. And proud to be so..

I stumbled upon this place and spent a while listening to some bands I have never heard of..

VERY well made page and the complete music files let you listen to the entire tracks in great quality.

Missing quite a lot of bands that helped form their genres, as well as missing several subgenres (and Folk metal as main genre! There's several sub genres of Folk metal, but no main!), but overall it's a very nice site :)

Do hope record companies won't whine about the songs and take down the site.

Edit: Those whiny guys from Metallica are there too with songs, so I guess the site will not last too long :(

I guess you never took the time to hear Metallica's side of why they did what they did. You should and maybe you would change your tune. I am sure they would embrace this site....and I will definitely be looking through it after I put up my Christmas lights.

...90's, studios really started using strong unparalleled processors and computer software to enhance music.

look at techno/trance and 90's pop music. rock transformed over the 90's with this technology, ... and then we get more less traditional stuff - which ... to some people, sounds absolutely awful to them, lol.. but I don't care though, technology is technology, and whatever sounds good, sounds good^

Er, what?

Also, as for the tracks, they're just loading from Youtube. So, yeah they probably can get the music taken down, but I don't know that its likely. Are there any ads or anything?

Very cool site, you can even adjust the colors for wide gamut monitors.

Wish you could zoom out though.

What's :hmm::hmm: about those? :hmm::hmm:

teh fact that the fan base can find so many minute, remotely distinguishable differences within the genre to then start naming these genres.

and then to attribute ridiculously awesome name to them.


is it actually music based, or are these names simply based on regionally-related bands that garner their own genres within the genre?

Nice site. I did find it interesting that they listed Unblack Metal, but not Christian Speed Metal (primarily the 80s, early 90s).

Do you think that link in the OP is intricate? Check this one out, it's downright tedious :

I don't know how you can discern some of these from the other enough to categorize them differently :hmm:

Cool site. I hate cookie monster vocals, but you don't see me crapping on Cannibal Corpse threads.

Reminds me of Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music..

Why is it that every genre needs hundreds of subgenres? like - No, this is not just "metal", this is new trash power goth metal! Or, this isn't "techno", it's hard dub minimal acid house!
