Insanely complicated form of metal music, containing psychotically fast blast beats, shredding,ripping, disemboweling, lacerating guitars, bass lines as thick as concrete, and lyrics dealing with everything on the dark side of life, nothing about love or fireworks or puppy dogs here. A form of music that takes incredible skill to play competently at a rapid pace, only the ignorant and those below the age of 14 cannot hear the talent intertwined between the beats, chords, and notes in said form of music. The vocals range from mildly to extremely distorted, giving the genre more atmosphere than in any other type of music. Big Name Examples: Carcass, Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Nile.

Get the death metal mug.Metal music that is softer than other Metal. It is NOT Hard Rock. While the difference between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal is often described as metal being heavier, louder, and more aggressive (together it's called harder), this is not always always the case. There are few other key differences between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. One is that Heavy Metal tends to be more distorted, which does not necessarily imply a harsher sound. Another is that Hard Rock is based around Blues rhythms, while Heavy Metal is usually based around either a constant beat, a classical based rhythm, or a complex "mathy" rhythm. The most important feature here is that Heavy Metal is guitar driven, while Hard Rock is vocal driven.
Soft Metal would be Heavy Metal that is softer than most Hard Rock. Soft Metal is a very melodic form of music based around guitars that while distorted are not harsh sounding. In fact they might sound even less harsh than undistorted guitars. It's texture is similar to that of classical music, more so than ordinary Heavy Metal. It is NOT the same thing as a Power Ballad. For one, Power Ballads are almost always vocal, while Soft Metal is usually instrumental. Also, Soft Metal tends to be faster in tempo than Power Ballads. Finally, Power Ballads are usually based around a structure where they build up in tensity and only get metal at the climax. Soft Metal may build in intensity at parts in the song, but it's equally metal through the entire song.

Probably the most annoying youtube comment war in the world. Each side acts like their genre requires talent and creativity, while the other genre requires retards to strum a few guitar strings or punch a few things in on the computer. This is a pointless argument. Some rap artists suck. Some metal bands suck. Other rap artists are talented. Other metal bands are talented. Each genre takes skill to come up with something new and make it sound good. Thus, the argument that spans millions of people, is pointless.
Rap vs. Metal
Rap fan- Dude metal sucks it's just some whiny kids screaming into a mic and playing some guitar!
Metal fan- Wow retard how about rap its just some guys rhyming about their "dogs" and saying "Nigga"!
Everyone isn't an ignorant asshole- Cool deal brah.

Get the Metapodding mug.Anyone who is into black metal. Black metallers often are known to appreciate Black Metal, norway, philosophy, classical music and sometimes Satan (usually it's just the band members who do the whole Satan thing.)
Although Black Metallers are considered nasty people to be around, they aren't often around due to the lack of live performances from bands. Very few bands perform live and when they do I can admit the fans go crazy but look at the anarcho-punk scene or the american rap scene? The only difference is the fact Black Metallers keep it far more underground.
