The Metal Crypt - Description of the Genres of Metal. This cannot be a comprehensive listing of all the genres ever named or postulated. Some genres are defined one way by some, another way by others. And the placement of bands within those genres is a subject of endless debate. So in this list I will stay as basic as possible, and only deal with the genres that are widely used and accepted by both labels and reviewers to classify metal. I will spend a little time on subgenres, but not a lot. I'm trying for a broad overview here, not a nitpick fest. Traditional: Often called "True Metal", sometimes "Classic" or just "Heavy Metal", this is the genre that was there before all the others. Another side note in Traditional Metal is the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) sound from the early 80s.

Pioneers: Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Manilla Road. CVLT NationArtist to Artist InterviewsSannhet Vs Krallice.

Among all forms of art, what makes heavy metal unique is that it embraces disturbing sounds which are not ugly but which portend disturbing patterns found in reality. What makes heavy metal heavy? Both fantastic and literal, heavy metal explores the ideas our society will not endorse.
