If you think that song is heavy, you should hear some of their new songs (vacuity, toxic garbage island, esoteric surgery). I had no idea pissed off frenchmen could make music like that.

Hey..is it necessary to keep comparing trends to metal. I just hate when people try to sell me a piss snowcone when I've been suckin' on delicious lemon sherbert for 30 fuggin' years!

I'll keep posting the metal..but I love pissin' on trends..I always have..ever since disco!

E, the attitude I'm talking about is less of a "sex, drugs, and rock n roll" and more of a "we're not gonna take any shit".

[horns666]

Bro Vintersorg, Arcturus, Hardingrock, Borknager. and such are bluring lines to what's become progressive black/death metal..Ihsahn..has been doing this too since the last Emperor and solo stuff. This style was born in Norway..I always liked progessive death metal so I embraced this very quickly..its metal fusion so to speak! Check out Hammers of misfotune or Unexpect.. crazy cool stuff.

I was getting to Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Persuader, Pharoah and such..POWERMETAL..cool!

Haha...Susperia..Cybernordeth..I made that up..I love that cd!

The one artist I've found who's sound I cannot define or catagorize, truly unique.....I love the progression of this song, it's like 3 songs in one......

Hey E:

Deep Purple may have more complicated guitar parts, but Judas Priest had that and the attitude, at least from the 80s onwards. Deep Purple was always more classic rock than heavy metal. Same with Zep.

I consider early Sabbath to be classic rock. Dark sure, but still classic rock. At least for the first 4-5 albums.

Metal in my mind didn't really come about until Maiden.

Sabbath, Priest = Vivaldi; Maiden, Metallica = Wagner.

you are confusing me... what kind of attitude you are talking about? Deep Purple had way more attitude than JP when we talk about being "macho-cool-rockstar playing 36 Marshall stacks cranked to 11 with balls and chicks are in line waiting to suck their cocks" kind of thing.

As I've mentioned before yes indeed, DP is hard rock, so is Zep etc. where attitude is more evident than in metal, but not Black Sabbath as they sound totally different. If Symptom of The Universe isn't Metal then nothing else is. That is the ultimate metal tune.
Black Sabbath always had more characteristic qualities of metal than Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden was influental with their fast galloping tempos and twin attack guitars but Sabbath influenced a lot more sub-genres of metal with their more dynamic and darker approach.

[horns666]

Metal started with Black Sabbath..dropped tuning, theme , huge evil riffs..upsidedown crosses..solos-a-plenty..cool tone..it had it all.

Priest added another guitar and an incredible singer..but Al Atkins was their first singer and he was lame.

DP was a huge influence as well..as the heavy zep...and..eh..

This stuff is elementary..I gotta BAD toothache !!!

Have fun man!!

okay, so after looking at most of the videos, i think i got it summed up...

Trend... punk influence and trying to play a solo... unsuccessfully...
Metal... at least 50% of the band with hair down half way to their ass and being able to play your instruments...

though i do feel kind of lame for listening to more trend bands lately than i used too...
