cant believe people have listed some of these bands as metal... boris?????

anyhoo.. no one metioned ministry yet.. they are playing their final ever gig in dublin in a few months time.....

when i saw lair of the minotaur they were toasting the crowd between every song

my favorite metal band is probably unexpect.

boris metal?
unexpect metal?
kayo dot metal?

next you'll be telling me mogwai are metal.

As though Ministry are metal themselves.

Marcos if I recall you called Unexpect "the metal Koenjihyakkei". Obviously, they're avant-metal but they are defintiely of some metal variety.

Unexpect (often capitalized uneXpect, unexpecT, UnexpecT) is an avant-garde extreme metal band from Montreal, Canada with an amalgamation of different styles of music, including black metal, death metal, progressive metal, melodic heavy metal, European Classical music, opera, medieval music, gypsy music, electro, ambient, noise, circus music, and jazz.

Though I definitely disagree with Kayo Dot as metal. Boris is... some of their stuff is doom metal but as a whole I dunno.

Ministry are industrial. Filth Pig has a lot of metal though.

Metal is a pretty broad term.

i'm just being the prick who gets very anal about what's metal and what's not.

unexpect are kinda like koenjihyakkei covering manowar; ahauahauahauahaua!!!

Are White Zombie considered metal by the Sebadoh posse these days? I can never tell what's metal and what's not anymore. Things were so much simpler before Grunge came along and confused everything.

Either way, "indie kids" would hate White Zombie I'd imagine.

White Zombie were fuckin great though.

Greeting pop pickers,

I've no idea whether the kids are into this, but they should be, innit:

PS I fucking love Head Of David's "I Am Roadkill", by the way.

For one album, White Zombie were the dog's bollocks. Then they just became common all garden bollocks.

I get pissed off with indie types only going for the extreme end of metal. It's like all they want is extreme this, extreme that. Have these people never considered the value of a bit of light and shade?

Personally, I non-ironically love Grim Reaper. Rock you to hell.

it is, very cunty and annoying.

when i saw dimmu borgir, the singer guy doesn't actually do his rasp himself, the sound person actually uses mixing board effects to pitchshift and distort his voice so it sounds black metal; they would bypass the effects in between songs and the guy was trying his hardest to make a sinister voice to annouce the songs, but sounded like a squeky voiced dork instead, it was hilarious.

bahahaha.

For fuck's sake. you're just making up names now.

eh?

ohh yeah, re: white zombie i think they were brilliant all throughout their career, even though astro creep 3000 at points goes too much into ministry rip off territory, i think it's an amazing album. i might be one of the few people who love gods on voodoo moon and "more human than human".
