Hmmm my choices : NIN, Mudvayne (goign to concert!!!) Slayer, Sentenced, Cannibal Corpse, Drowning pool, Rammstien, SOAD, clasic stuff, some mainstream... ,Iron Maiden, tool, mansen (only so much of him though) and.... anyting black or death \m/ \m/

i just got done reading the classifications. sadly enough, i have to watch myself into these categorizing of metal. but what is odd to me is, like let's say someone that is really into black metal for example. their definition of metal is going to be that and nothing else. the rest gets classified as hardcore or metalcore. but let's someone not of the black metal scene, their classification of metal is going to be different. people say Black Sabbath is classic rock, but Sabbath was the first metal band, while maybe with Led Zepplin right along with them. sure, modern metal does some have influence of hardcore. i like the mix but it doesn't make it less metal, it's just metal is going to change as time goes on. i like what Jim Root, #7 of Slipknot said in the newest Guitar One Magazine.

"Right now I'm seeing a neoclassical Nordic vibe mixed with a hardcore sort of thing. To me, it's another incarnation of what metal should be."

There was a metal band here in South Africa that was all black. I can't remember thier name, but they did get some radio-play.

On the subject of symphonic-black bands I can't really comment.

 

[plastinationchild]

not black people. but black metal with symphony.

 

[plastinationchild]

Myself I'm into 80's glam like Poison, Cinderella, Stryper, Pretty Boy Floyd etc but also in to power metal like DragonForce, Sonata Artica, Luca Turilli, Gamma Ray etc

Cool to see some fans of real music on the boards!!

Ha, ha! Another power metal fan. Awesome.

Some other groups you might like: Angra, Helloween, Brainstorm, Within Temptation, Freedom Call, Metalium.

Dragonforce is one of my favorite groups. I'm a member on their forums.

Is it ok for a christian to listen to metal?

Is it ok for a christian to listen to metal?

Yes, it's fine. You just have to use discernment, just like every other category of music (or anything else in life, for that matter).

 

[Special_J]

I absolutely ADORE killswitch engage!

 

[Im_A]

are there any black guys in metal?

the bassist/lead singer, Doug Pinnick of King's X, Derrick Leon Green of Sepultura, the members of Living Color.

 

[Carmack]

He's also one of the top 5 ugliest guys in metal.

 

[JesusWasn'tWhite]

Why on earth WOULDN'T black people be in metal?!?!
I'm not saying that because metal is far superior to other genres, or anything like that.
Do some white people like rap? Hip hop? yes.
Do I like sitar music from India? yes.
I think generalizing whether a certain race or ethnic group likes a certain anything is ignorant junk.

The most metal person I know is black.

 

[Special_J]

there's a black guy in killswitch, no?
