Metal bloody rules but ive found one better, MELODIC BLACK METAL
Because it is melodic its not just pure shouting and the amount of feeling that goes into the lirics and the song is amazing, it feels like they do it because they love it not just because they get lots of money. Some bands only bring out 1 album a year but that album would be awesome!
To name a few bands that everyone should look into:
Dimmu Borgir
Amon Amarth
Children of Bodom
Hammerfall - not so much black metal but they are very good
Mastodon
Kreator
Enthroned
Usurper
People hear black metal and instantly think 'i want to kill myself' or crap (slipknots fault)
Whomever you are, whatever you listen to, give melodic black metal a try (Y)
