Is this a lame atempt to get a sticky:hmm:?
I want a peice of music thats all the genras rolled into one.
Amon Amarth (Melodic Death Metal)
Apocalyptica (Power Metal with Cellos)
Blind Guardian (Pre-Nightfall = Speed-Metal: Post-Nightfall = Power Metal)
Dark Tranquility (More of a melodic death, but it's power-metal to my ears)
Demons and Wizards (ehhh... I always saw them as Power, but PG6 says they're speed)
Dream Evil (A little of everything, to be honest)
Dream Theater ("progressive" metal, which generally means power metal with more synthesizers, in my opinion)
Edguy (Deffinetely power, but they get pretty fast as well)
Eluveitie (Celtic Folk-metal. Very heavy stuff, but awesome as well)
Elvenking (Folk-power-metal. Violins and flutes and stuff)
Ensiferum (Considered Viking Metal by most)
Epica (More of a symphonic power-metal, like Nightwish without the soprano vocals)
Evergrey (Not entirely sure myself. Less melody then power metal, but not quite fast enough to be speed)
Falconer (Power metal)
Gravity Kills (Not really metal, but you should like it anyway)
Hammerfall (power metal)
Helloween (Ehhh... once again, I have a hard time telling the difference. Power/speed)
Iced Earth (Speed, with dark melodies occasionally)
Kamelot (Best power metal ever. Screw all who disagree)
Korplikaani (More Viking-Metal, I think. Maybe it's folk... gah)
Liquid Tension Experiment (Basically Dream theater but all instrumentals)
Opeth (I know of little of these guys, but their mostly melodic death, I think)
Shadows Fall (Kinda metalcore, but still awesome)
Sonata Arctica (Power Metal)
Stratovarius (Pretty much power metal)
Turisas (Viking Metal)
Wintersun (I think Viking as well)
All listed alphabetically. Have fun.
EDIT: If you still dislike it PG6, go ahead and change as you see fit. You probably have more experience than I, anyway.
no, i just don't wanna be selfish, so why not exapand the thread for everyone?
your looking for a remix then.
@Marineking, thanks!!
Avenged Sevenfold (i love the new stuff)
In Flames sounds really good but when he starts singing a change the song.
A lot of those bands are not speed metal.Quote:

I recently found this awesome band, Noumena.

i dont regret creating this tread at all, i've found atleast 10 or more new band that i like. havent listened to all yet.
Well, he said both "heavy metal" and "speed metal." Some of the bands he listed were clearly not speed metal, as well. So I figured it was more of a vague "Kinda like this..." statement than an "exact specifications" request.Quote:

Here, I'll go through and give them general labels, just in case he cares.
EDIT: And wait, Blind Guardian was pretty speed-metalish in their early years, too (Pre-Nightfall on Middle-Earth).
i got cloud connected on limewire... huh... it sounds good... must have been another song i hated.Quote:

EDIT2:
Was A7X one of the ones you like? listen to trashed and scattered, critical aclaim, gunslinger (if you like acoustic, slow in the first half of the song), afterlife...
^^thats some of the new stuff^^
That much is true. But the same thing with In Flames. They WERE melodic death metal. Now they're just shit.Quote:

Sorry Deselin, but metalcore is a sub-genre of Hardcore (I think), not metal. Metal Archives won't even host metalcore bands on their website (And they're almost the definitive internet source).Quote:

Metal has too many sub-genres that I just constitute it all as metal.Quote:

You would NEVER find me at a metal show. A7X is about all I can stand as far as metal goes. -_-Quote:

No, not really. XOQuote:

Keywords in this post: TO, ME. (ie: MY OPINION)
EDIT:
Ok, then tell me, what sub-genre does Metalcore belong too?Quote:

hate to say them but bullet for my valentine tries to be like the old late 80's early 90s though the only song of theres i like is 4 words to choke upon.
Metalcore IS a subgenre and it belongs to the Hardcore genre.Quote:

actualy, that goes with almost anything that ends in -core lol.
But if it has a metal influence, then wouldn't it technically be considered at least, even if a little, metal?Quote:

No, not even a little metal.Quote:

That doesn't mean my singing is operatic, it just means it's opera-influenced.
It can at times sound operatic, but it wouldn't make it opera.
I won't pretend to understand it, but you just carry on with your thread now.Quote:
