Perhaps we're all just crazy.

Once you get into it, you find so many good things about it, though aggression and brutality (or coldness and hate, depending on style) are driving forces behind it so if you are not into that, you probaply never will like extreme genres. In any case, there are more themes in metal than those too. You've gotta remember that metal is often heavily melodrama driven, to the point of over-the-top sometimes, from beauty and beast, power and masculinity, and senseless violence and occult and dark side of man. (these latters being mostly used in extreme metal obviously) I list some more accessible, not extreme metal for you. Perhaps you get a hunch what metal is like generally. Perhaps extreme genres open up later. For heavy metal, Judas Priest - Painkiller is excellent example. Other than ANNOYING singer, this song is pretty much an epitome of basic heavy metal riffing and soloing. Judas Priest on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads (obviously check the song painkiller first I recommend) For power metal, there are a lot of examples. Some are just faster and more epic than normal heavy metal, some are so-called "flower-power" or euro-power metal with heavy fantasy themes. Eidolon, good example of older style powermetal, not heavy metal but not thrash either. Eidolon on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Dark Moor is typical flowerpower metal. Very melodic. Check song Before The Duel. DARK MOOR on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Rhapsody. If you like Dungeons & Dragons, this band is for you. Over the top Fantasy, polish your sword and go kill dragons. RHAPSODY OF FIRE on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Thrash, this is where that Megadeth song you listened belongs to. Metallica - Master Of Puppets YouTube - Metallica-Master of Puppets Studio version Demolition Hammer - Omnivore (crappy sound quality in the video, couldnt find better version) YouTube - Demolition Hammer - Omnivore Gothic Metal. Who said that growling cant be beautiful? When I said melodrama earlier, this is prime example of it. "Beauty and the beast metal" as it is called, there is often a combination of demonish growling/screaming and angel voiced female vocalist. Clean male vocals are used too, there are choirs etc... Tristania - Wormwood YouTube - Tristania "Wormwood" Tristania - Angina (this song has it all, screams, female vocs and monk choirs) YouTube - Tristania- Angina Trail Of Tears. Check song Fate Sealed In Red TRAIL OF TEARS (NEW ALBUM COMPLETED)! on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads I might add extreme metal examples later. |

My fav album from them is Slaughter The Weak, though all their albums are quite good. Better than Six Feet Under IMO, and less wierd sounding singer too, relatively speaking of course... |
