Get the metamour mug.Dark metal is a genre of metal that has elements of death, black, doom and gothic metal. These elements are: synthesizers, acoustic guitars, clean vocals/distorted/operatic female vocals.
It could be described as a more sophisticated and medolic addition to the genre. The lyrics are often introspective and poetic.

Some Dark metal bands:
Agathodaimon, Graveworm, Bethlehem, Daylight Dies, Samael, Rotting Christ, Tiamat.

Get the Dark metal mug.The heavy metal forum is found on sites such as VampireFreaks, Ultimate Guitar Tabs, GaiaOnline, and other social or music sites. You can expect many Metal Elitists and emo teenagers within these walls.
The emo kids start topics about Bullet For My Valentine or Slipknot and talk about other emo shitty bands. These kids are usually spat on and booted from the mods.
The Elitists tell those kids to fuck off and die. All while talking about their shitty underground black metal bands. Any bands they don't like are considered not metal. Any band with more than 10,000 fans are considered sell-outs and mainstream.
Fights always break out between the two sides, with the Emo usually throwing the "It's my Opinion" and "Freedom of Speech" arguments, and the elitist using the "No, it's a fact that (band) is SHIT" argument.

Typical Metal Forum Scenario
14-Year old in a Recommendation Thread: Check out these bands!
Job for a Cowboy
Bullet for my Valentine
Five Finger Death Punch
Elitist: I'd rather have cancer and AIDS simultaneously than to listen to that shit.
*shitstorm ensues*

Get the Metamorphosize mug.1) An umbrella term for three heaviest genres of metal music (along with their subgenres): thrash metal, black metal and death metal
2) A convenient term to label the music of bands who tend to incorporate all three of the above influences into their sound
2) A politically correct term/euphemism used to label black metal which happens not to be "black" enough for the trve kvlt people to acknowledge it as such. Hence, some formerly black metal bands who later shifted towards a more mainstream sound have adopted this term to label their own music, which later carried over to reviewers and music press.

1) Understood as an umbrella term, "extreme metal" can be used to describe such different bands as Slayer, Cannibal Corpse or Emperor.
2) Torchbearer can be considered the consummate extreme metal band, as their music is a well-balanced mix of thrash, death and black metal.
3) Dimmu Borgir started out as a melodic black metal band, but later incorporated heavy symphonic and industrial influences into their sound while noticeably reducing explicit Satanic references in their lyrics. This lead to considerable mainstream success for the band, which coupled with its lyrical blandness has called into question the continued status of the band as a "black metal" band. Hence the band's sound is often referred to as "extreme metal", presumably not to upset black metal purists, even though the sound is still predominantly rooted in black metal and lacks thrash or death characteristics.
