METAL AT THE MOVIES: GANGS OF NEW YORK and FIGHT CLUB

                                                                                                                                                              EDITORS NOTE: 2/22/2010: This journal entry was written a long time ago and edited, but I really enjoyed this historical aspect of this movie, hailing from New York. These movies are not about music, but well worth seeing.
"This is a rich mans war"(and a poor mans fight)-Gangs of New York
http://www.miramax.com/subscript/gangs-of-new-york-10th-anniversary-trailer
Some good DVD's; "Gangs of New York" with Leonardo DiCaprio is very good movie..Great cinematography.."The five points" represents (the civil war era) lower east side of Manhattan, NYC where I was ironically enough born in that neighborhood. "The Five Points" up to 9/11/01 was close enough to where the WTC once stood.
Gangs of New York represents the birth of America, during the most chaotic period in American history (up to maybe the 60's) the Civil War with Abraham Lincoln as president.. There was plenty of corruption in NYC back then, with Gangs ruling downtown Manhattan, firefighters fighting over turf, and bribes, as firefighters and cops had barely established a force back then.
NYC had barely established an identity (the Statue of Liberty was sent by France but not yet assembled due to the Great Depression) and the lower east side was ruled by angry mobs of Gangs..People were being drafted for the Civil War (straight off the boat), and you could pay a "tax" to avoid the draft and send someone (poor) in your place. Of course many complained it was a "rich mans war" (has much changed with the rich avoiding the draft?) and resented being drafted. Apparently the resentments of fighting over slavery (or the real issue industrialization vs. slave labor, North vs. South) caused the most intense riots in NYC history (to this very day) with the lower east side burning down, and angry mobs of gangs (draft riots) lynching random African Americans. As USA and NYC established an identity. The issues of WHY there were so many Gangs, corruption, outright poverty, and racism amongst those whom immigrated to the USA/NYC (via Ellis Island) as people lived in shanties (with no utilities) on the Lower East side of Manhattan.It is recommended that you check out GANGS OF NEW YORK in DVD version with the directors cut of the DISCOVERY CHANNEL segment on the 5 points during the civil war. In fact, DO PLEASE check out the DISCOVERY CHANNELS "UNCOVERING THE REAL GANGS OF NEW YORK" documentary as a consolidated accompaniment to the movie GANGS OF NEW YORK.

Along with Leonardo DiCaprio character avenging his fathers death by the hands of a "butcher" whom takes him under his wing, and figures his agenda, ohh wow, ya gotta see this movie. I won't give any more away. Rent out Gangs of New York in the DVD version with directors commentary (and documentary on the "Five Points") ect. Excellent movie, a must see. The only problem I have with this movie, is the focus being on DiCaprio's rivalry with the Butcher, and the real issues of the "The Five Points" being a backdrop to that drama. Ya know, being DiCaprio is "hawt" I can see why, he's not just another hoodlum in this movie, get it.. However, Gangs of New York, has a true historical background on the corruption, immigration, poverty, gangs, racism, greed of the establishment, and pending civil war draft as this folks, is the history of not only NYC, but America as well. Personally, I believe the Civil War was a righteous war, that I would have fought ( on the side of the Nawth along with the war against the nazi's-as any other "war" America has fought was/is complete bullshit). Although the Civil War did NOT change segregation, Jim Crow laws and discrimination until the civil rights movement of the 60's. The civil war had less to do with the inhumane treatment of African Americans as much as corporate industrial vs. slave labor. A practical upgrade in labor. .In fact, many white soldiers refused to fight in the integrated civil war as President Abraham Lincoln (colonization) struggled in his state of "nation" address" in denial that war was about slavery, state rights vs. national unity and consolidation as the South would have succeeded from the nation.
Bill Pool's ("The Butcher") vision of America was to close the doors to immigrants after his culture became successful. On the issue of immigration, has anything changed, as one generation of immigrants establish themselves in the USA, they close the door to others. Boss Tweed's corruption was outed by a reporter/cartoonist (Thomas Nast-Harpers Weekly) and is backdrop to GANGS OF NEW YORK.
Another good DVD, "Auschwitz" an HBO documentary on the nazi invasion of Europe. Many SS nazi soldiers were interviewed in this documentary (and ya know, sadly, after the Holocaust alot of those most notorious of the SS Nazi elite immigrated to America before being convicted for war and human rights crimes as they were elderly when they were finally brought to justice. The irony is the Jews immigrating to the USA were turned AWAY in boatloads during the Holocaust). Maybe some SS Nazi soldiers really believed in that agenda, as others saw the opportunity to be socio and psycho paths to Jews, trained tyrants and murderers...How much $ was embezzled by the SS Nazi's from the jews right into the hands of soldiers? Alot.. The disabled, children, elderly, gay, and sick were the first to be exterminated. When the war against the nazi's had ended, many (surviving Jews and families) jews took it upon themselves to bring these SS nazi's to justice, as many Nazi's ran abroad to AMERICA and Europe to flee prosecution. How ironic, because of immigration quotas, many Jews were not allowed to immigrate to America, and deported from England back to Germany to the concentration camps...Any way, another must see documentary, as Hitler had occupied most of Europe before the allied forces even saw the need to intervene. I want to rent more movies on the heroes against nazi Germany, the Germans that worked with Jews against Hitler (check out Schindler's List as well)...
Another DVD worth renting, (as I've seen this movie at least 8 times, but for the first time in DVD version with actor commentary and special features) FIGHT CLUB..Helena Bonham Carter is soo gorgeous.in Fight Club, dood, she's not just a "tourist" get yer head together, get out of that delusion and reco- gnize who this hot chick is..Enough of my unbridled "lust", if ya haven't figured "Fight Club" out, Brad Pitt, and Edward Norton, are both playing the same mentally ill character. Brad Pitt being the alter ego of a man whom is having a nervous breakdown (Edward Norton's character) dangerous and :cough: anti social and anti corporate..Ugh, this movie "hurts" to watch, alot of people have been through "nervous breakdowns", through the daily grind of their uninspired jobs, and material possessions. Well worth seeing in DVD version, "You are not your Khaki's", a cult or KVLT classic for generation X'ers...

Apparently Moynihan was just filling in for Jon Levasseur whom left Cryptopsy late last year.

These satirical rules are considred KVLT classics. Thanks to live4metal.com. for the comedy and metal heads internationally for not taking themselves so seriously. ENJOY-Thanks-Tee- -l- \m/ BTW, don't expect me to update this journal during the sumer as often.

101 Rules of Black Metal

1. Don't be gay.

19. Sodomize a virgin whore.
20. Sodomize anything that is not male. (Fuzzy things look out!)
21. Make sure your album goes out of print about 3years after its release... so it becomes 'cult'.
22. When in doubt, say "True Norwegian Black Metal!"
23. If that doesn't work, blast beats can fill any silence.
24. Turn any cross you find upside-down.

37. Make sure that no less than half of the musicians on your album are "session" members.
38. When in concert, always growl names of songs so that they are imperceptible. This will ensure that anyone who doesn't have your "cult" LP won't get it.
39. Never play live.
40. When getting ready to go to a show, completely forget that the other people there are not going to the show to look atyou.
41. Use barbed wire whenever possible. (Note: this assists in being both "necro" and "grim".)
42. When asked by a non true BMer what BM is, say something like, "BM is the raw essence of pure black evil in man", in anycase, make sure that by the conversations end, the other person still has no idea what black metal is.
43. Drive one of your band members to suicide, and claim he died because of the "mainstream" "infecting" the "scene".
44. Reform with "old members" and release an album intended to produce commercial success.

55. The word "Hail" is the only appropriate greeting whenever greeting someone "true".
56. If feeling especially true on a given occasion, try "Infernal Hails".
57. All logos must include illegible writing and at least one inverted cross and/or pentagram. This is non-negotiable.
58. When referring to sex with a Metal Chick use only the terminology "sticking my clouded frost-spire into her gates of attrition".
59. Design complex logo for your grim black metal band on binder paper in the middle of math class.
60. Accept every interview you're offered... then pretend that you really don't enjoy being interviewed.
61. Thoroughly enjoy Star Trek: The NextGeneration.
62. Wait... scratch that last one. (See rule 1)

65. If you ever find that you have somehow become a member of Hecate Enthroned, be sure to piece together a music video of scrap footage of yourself walking around in the woods at night looking evil. Only, instead of being night make sure it's the middle of the@#%$ day, and instead of looking evil, look dorky instead. (See also: rule1)
666. Own hundreds of black metal albums, demos and bootlegs. Listen to approximately 8 of them regularly.
67. Humping a ceramic Virgin Mary in front of your uncle's house is not "pimping it" (unless you tell her you're done then blow in her face like a shotgun when she turns around).
68. Refrain from using keyboard smilies when communicating via the Internet. Single acceptable smiley: -(
69. Why isn't the word "Northern" in your album title yet!? Get to it! Amateurs...
70. Spelling things correctly is neither grim nornecro.
71. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!!
72. No matter where you're from, pretend you're from Norway and therefore 'true'.
73. Don't be Dani Filth. (I think that's clear)
74. All pets you own now will henceforth be known as "Crucifier". Any pets you own in the future will also be known as "Crucifier".
75. True black metaller: "Many of our dark hymns are influenced by the mighty Tolkien... You have not read the works of Tolkien!? Nerd. Wait a minute... It appears I am the nerdy one after all!"
76. @#%$, I'm talking to myself again.
77. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!!
78. That's better, on with the interview!
80. Create inverted crosses in all possible instances. Suggested tools: Drum sticks, twigs, pool cues, pencils, etc. (See also "clouded frost spire")

82. Stick your dick in the mashed potatoes.
83. Don't make Beastie Boys references.
84. Don't make references.
85. Satanus. Huh huh huhuhuhuh.
86. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
87. If possible, design the title of your album so that it consists of three completely unrelated words. Dimmu Borgir are the master of this (i.e.Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Godless Savage Garden) but you mayalso want to refer to Immortal's "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism".
88. As we all know, women have no place in the homoerotic world of black metal, but if your girl friend still won't stop bugging you about wanting to be involved in your band, give her a lame spoken word part orsomething.
89. Never form a band containing you, your wife and/or girlfriend, and some gay looking guy. (See also: rule 11)
90. Go to bed when your mom tells you to.
91. If it's rare, it must be good. Order itimmediately.
92. I will not add that as it is not metal enough.
93. Are you metal enough to be reading this?
94. Own every Darkthrone release. Listen to exactly none of them.
95. Own cult-as-@#%$ shirts of bands you not only own no releases of, but also haven't even heard.
96. Use the phrase "cult-as-@#%$" wheneverpossible.
97. Attempt to randomly throw the word "@#%$"during random segments of your songs. (Kindly refer to Attilla's work on DeMysteriis DomSathanas.)
98. In order to make your recording more incomprehensible and therefore more "cult", be sure to either select a singer who has only a tenuous grasp on the language to be sung. (Acceptable languages: Norwegian, Latin, Orcish.)
99. I'll tell you what your album lay out needs...Some titties.
100. And you know what else? How long since you acted like a troll? Pickup that makeup and fight, soldier!
101. You mean to tell me you read this whole thing when you could have been prancing about in the forest with an axe? For shame! For shaaaaame!!

Metal lingo 101

Death Black Metal Lingo 101
:57:19 AM EDT

Death and Black metal lingo and humor 101:
OWNS- As in King Diamond OWNS you nu metal, mall core posers. All encompassing, superior.
OWNED-OR Poned-when you've been dissed, or dismissed as a poser, loser, retard or idiot. Or depending on context in a positive, as in "That band OWNED your band'..
BRUTAL or BROOTAL (for NYers)-The epitome of heaviness, anti christian darkness and brutality. Based upon double bass, blastbeats, death vocals, and thrash, grind, death metal riffage, played with frenetic SPEED. An attitude for extreme metal heads.
RIFFAGE-Good riffs that build upon one another, catchy, but non repetitive riffs. Well written riffs.
GRIM-Serious,dark, angry, brutal. Metaphor for good Scandinavian black metal. An attitude for black metalers.
CRUSHES-See owns, also KILLS.
KVLT-Describes the best of underground black metal, The most genuine and obscure of underground BM, as only 5 people own these bands out of print releases. Bands with a KVLT following tend to avoid commercial trappings as commercial success if frowned upon. KVLT death and black metal tend to avoid populism, mass appeal, and trends.
TRUE or TROO (for NYer's)-The most genuine, and honest in all of Scandinavian black metal. IE Cradle Of Filth are NOT "troo" black metal compared to the more underground and KVLT bands like Impaled Nazarene.Black metal that is raw, anti christian, hateful,minimalist,EVIL, about the destruction of humanity, and misanthropic.                                                                                      UNTROO-Black metal that is NOT raw, minimalist with commercial elements such as melodic keyboards and clean vocals.Phony, Fake. Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of filth are UNTROO.
GEY- Politically incorrect terminology for music that completely SUCKS IE Linkin Park (Stinkin Park), rap, mainstream or nu metal bands.
ELITIST-Death, gore grind, black, thrash, doom metal fans that own and trade obscure mp3's, CD's, demos' from unsigned bands or obscure indie extreme metal bands. Any "popular" or mainstream band in any genre of music is frowned upon as not "troo" by eltists. The trend is the anti trend. Deicide would be seen as too mainstream by death metal eltists as well as the Gothenburgh trend of melodic death metal-IE Soilwork, In Flames are also to mainstream.. A "Troo" metal elitist would know whom Gorguts and Gore Trade are compared to Dimmu Borgir fans.Extreme metal NOT signed to MAJOR indies, people whom are critically of cookie cutter, generic bands of all metal genres. Elitists can be seen as annoying, self righteous, nerdy, but cutting edge, LOYAL to underground/groundbreaking bands with minimal success that don't get MTV, or radio airplay. Elitists have often "heard it first" or "heard it all before" a genre or trend of music becomes popular.
MALL CORE, MALL GOTHS-Derogatory term for KiDZ whOm WrIte LiKe Dis, (wiggers who couldn't cut in the hood) buy their clothes at Hot Topic, and whom musical tastes are dictated by MTV or EMPTV. Kids whom dress in black because it is "trendy' and listen to Marylin Manson whom are either ADD, or on Prozac. Lock them in a room and make them listen to REM's Shiny Happy People.Mallcore is a term for commercial nu metal, hardcore or metal core, or extreme metal that has sold out.. Music and attitude dictated by trends as death/black metal heads HATE them. MALL CORE and MALL GAWTHS think they are being different and trend setting but are really conforming to non conformity. MALL CORE=NOT metal, or BAD metal or hard, commercially accessible rock, POSER..
CORE-Metalcore, hardcore or any thing derived from punk or hardcore. NOT considered troo metal, but a third rate derivative of bad thrash riffs in metal core.Not encompassing the morbid humor, and the beauty of darkness. Derived from punk, with sometimes the most generic "metal" riffs. Hardcore is derived from a punk aesthetic with songs about personal strength, scene/community unity, with screamed vocals,fast drum pace and breakdowns to induce moshing. Yo, YoU NeEd to WriTE a BreAkdown so I cOuld MoSh YO.
GOTHENBORE-OR GOTHEBURG MELODIC SWEDISH DEATH METAL-The genre was genuinely founded by great bands such as At the Gates, Dismember, Grave, Carcass ect.Those Swedes are being ripped off as they wouldn't compromise their musical integrity 10 years ago or broke up.  Commercially accessible melodic metal with elements of death and thrash. Is easily integrated with hardcore, metal core and nu metal. Underground Death metal elitists view  "Gothenbore" as "pop metal with a cold", too trendy, accessible, and not underground or groundbreaking. Biggest crossover melodic Swedish metal culprits: Messhugah, In Flames, Soilwork, Arch Enemy all seen as not brutal, and sell outs and to melodic.Too many At The Gates clones in the metal core scene as well. Death and black metal elttists HATE Gothenbore bands.
HAILS-Black metal salute or salutations specifically in Norway, and Scandinavian countries.  For those whom are "troo".
GRIMLINE-Death and black metal gossip, as in "I heard it on the GRIMLINE" instead of grapevine.

DOOM-Metal played slow, without blastbeats, without speed, with both death, clean, and and screamed vocals for a more emotional, mesmerizing, melancholy, depressing, sad effect.. Doom is denoted by SLOW, repetitive riffs. Like a beauty in darkness, one is not so alone in their depression. CandleMass,Entombed, Black Sabbath, My Dying Bride, Novembre, are all doom laden bands ALSO melodic DOOM=Ala Kalmah, as one could add folk elements, violins to European doom.Black Sabbath started the DOOM genre with a dark aesthetic and scared (thankfully) the hippies.

NU BLACK METAL-Bands with symphonic tendencies, and keyboard saturated black metal or/and commercial European metal from a black metal aesthetic. Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish are forerunners in this sub genre. These bands are also known as the back street boys of metal. Mot to say I haven't liked these bands at some point earlier in their career.
TECH/DEATH-My fave genre. Very technical playing, with progressive elements such as math metal, death, grind, ect. Cryptopsy,Atheist, Necrophagist, Ion Dissonance (whom are tech/math grind), Cephalic Carnage, Death, Psycroptic, Nueraxis, Origin, Cynic,, Spawn of Possession are for runners in this genre.

NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL-NSBM-To be avoided if non racist. (I AM non racist, non fascist), Racist, nazi, fascist black metal, from Scandinavia ect. Burzum, Graveland, Zykon B,Dissection, ect. I will find a list of NSBM bands so you know what to avoid if you are humanistic or politically correct. Despite political points of view, being NS does not discredit these bands a musicians, BUT I can think of a zilion and one bands that are better whom don't involve themselves with nazi's or facist, or racists..
POWER METAL-Ugh, bands that sing in falsetto's, and dress like their are straight out of a dungeons and dragons role playing game. Hammerfall are the cheesiest of this genre, along with Nevermore ect.

Another church burning?

Um, to many people have read Lords of Chaos and taken Varg too seriously.

Australian Church Arsonist Blames Norwegian Black Metal Hero - May 4, 2005 Australia's TheAge.com.au is reporting that a devoted follower of a Scandinavian band notorious for its heavy metal anti-Christian music burnt down a majestic Moonee Ponds church in a multimillion-dollar arson attack.

Novak Majstorovic (photo) had drunken visions of the 107-year-old Ascot Vale Uniting Church being responsible for society's problems with law, ethics and morality.

Majstorovic, 19, admitted his passion for the band BURZUM, whose lead singer was allegedly involved in burning down numerous Norwegian churches in the 1990s, helped create a heavy metal ideological imagery based on good and evil.

"It can be explained through any real meanings, you know, but using God and Satan is just like a... it's an image," he told police after his arrest.

Victorian arson squad detectives treated Majstorovic as a suspect after investigations revealed his interest in BURZUM and "black metal" music and culture.

Police learnt the band's lead singer Varg Vikernes, now in jail for murder, was commonly referred to as a Satanist, but was regarded more as deeply anti-Christian and anti-Semitic.

Majstorovic on Wednesday (May 4) appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court to plead guilty to arson and burglary from the fire in Maribyrnong Road, Moonee Ponds, on August 29, 2004.

His lawyer Shannon Dellamarta said the damage was valued at more than $3 million.

In a summary tendered to the court, the church, widely used by its local community, was described as majestic and ornate. Its irreplaceable pipe organ and historic records were destroyed in the fire.

Majstorovic, who had drunk half a bottle of bourbon, had earlier left a party, telling guests he was going to burn the church. After entering, he lit Bibles, scrap paper, books and flags near the pulpit and left.

Asked days later by Detective Sergeant Andrew Kerr if he considered the elderly who had cried over the church or what it had stood for, Majstorovic replied: "It was what it stood for, but it's... it's just an object, you know. It's just a building. Faith lies with the individual."

Pressed by Sergeant Kerr about it being sacred and a "heart and soul of things", he said that the church "doesn't like people to cling to any sort of idols here on earth".

Majstorovic said that because he was drunk and near a church he thought he would act on an ideological belief the church was responsible for society's problems.

"A lot of the concepts of my ideologies and stuff would, sort of, stem from heavy metal, from the imagery of heavy metal, from the metaphors that heavy metal uses with the, like, Christian sort of metaphors of good and evil and such," he said.

Magistrate Lisa Hannan bailed Majstorovic, of Hoppers Crossing, to appear in the County Court on August 23.

 

That was from blabbermouth.net. so dissefected youth in Europe burn down churches, here in the USA depressed, alienated youth kill classmates. LMAO.

I can imagine that kid who burned down a church, "Tzza, this ones for Jerry Falwell"..:sarcasm rolls eyes:.

Hey kid, get some help, but I see your point, '"throws him the lighter". Wait I need that lighter for a stogie, fuck u.

I'm in quite a mood today,I say, kill YOURSELF, I'm far more prone to that.

Well anyway, I'm back in my house after my lock stuck again. Ugh, Ghettoborook SUUCKS.

Death Black Metal Lingo 101

:57:19 AM EDT
Feeling Frustrated
Hearing Iron Maiden-Number of the Beast   METAL LINGO 101
Death and Black metal lingo and humor 101:
DAMN JOURNAL ENTRY IS SPELLCHECKED, HAILS -l- 
OWNS- As in King Diamond OWNS you nu metal, mall core posers. All encompassing, superior.
OWNED-OR Powned-when you've been dissed, or dismissed as a poser, loser, retard or idiot.
BRUTAL or BROOTAL (for NYers)-The epitome of heaviness, anti christian darkness and brutality. Based upon double bass, blastbeats, death vocals, and thrash, grind, death metal riffage, played with frenetic SPEED. An attitude for extreme metal heads.
RIFFAGE-Good riffs that build upon one another, catchy, but non repetitive riffs. Well written riffs.
GRIM-Serious,dark, angry, brutal. Metaphor for good Scandinavian black metal. An attitude for black metal fans.
CRUSHES-See owns, also KILLS.
KVLT-Describes the best of underground black metal, The most genuine and obscure of underground BM, as only 5 people own these bands out of print releases. Bands with a KVLT following tend to avoid commercial trappings as commercial success if frowned upon. KVLT death and black metal tend to avoid populism, mass appeal, and trends.
TRUE or TROO (for NYer's)-The most genuine, and honest in all of Scandinavian black metal. IE Cradle Of Filth are NOT "troo" black metal compared to the more underground and KVLT bands like Impaled Nazarene.Black metal that is raw, anti christian, hateful,minimalist,EVIL, about the destruction of humanity, and misanthropic.                                                        
UNTROO or UNBLACK-Black metal that is NOT raw, minimilastic with commercial elements such as melodic keyboards and clean vocals.Phony, Fake. Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of filth are UNTROO. Religious metal with a black metal sound.
GEY-  Politically incorrect terminology for music that completely SUCKS IE Licoln Park (Stinkin Park), rap, mainstream or nu metal bands.
ELITIST-Death, gore grind, black, thrash, doom metal fans that own and trade obscure mp3's, CD's, demos' from unsigned bands or obscure indie extreme metal bands. Any "popular" or mainstream band in any genre of music is frowned upon as not "troo" by eltists. The trend is the anti trend. Deicide would be seen as too mainstream by death metal eltists as well as the Gothenburg trend of melodic death metal-IE Soilwork, In Flames are also to mainstream.. A Troo metal elitist would know whom Gorguts and Gore Trade are compared to Dimmu Borgir fans.Extreme metal NOT signed to MAJOR indies, people whom are critically of cookie cutter, generic bands of al metal genres. Elitists can be seen as annoying, self righteous, nerdy, but cutting edge, LOYAL to underground/groundbreaking bands with minimal success that don't get MTV, or radio airplay. Elitists have often "heard it first" or "heard it all before" a genre or trend of music becomes popular.
MALL CORE, MALL GOTHS-Derogatory term for KiDZ whOm WrIte LiKe Dis, (wiggers who couldn't cut in the hood)buy their clothes at Hot Topic, and whom musical tastes are dictated by MTV or EMPTV. Kids whom dress in black because it is "trendy' and listen to Marilyn Manson whom are either ADD, or on Prozac. Lock them in a room and make them listen to REM's Shiny Happy People.Mallcore is a term for commercial nu metal, hardcore or metal core, or extreme metal that has sold out.. Music and attitude dictated by trends as death/black metal heads HATE them. MALL CORE and MALL GAWTHS think they are being different and trend setting but are really conforming to non conformity. MALL CORE=NOT metal, or BAD metal or hard, commercially accessible rock, POSER..
CORE-Metalcore, hardcore or any thing derived from punk or hardcore. NOT considered troo metal, but a third rate derivative of bad thrash riffs in metal core.Not encompassing the morbid humor, and the beauty of darkness. Derived from punk, with sometimes the most generic "metal" riffs. Hardcore is derived from a punk asthetic with songs about personal strength, scene/community unity, with screamed vocals,fast drum pace and breakdowns to induce moshing. Yo, YoU NeEd to WriTE a BreAkdown so I cOuld MoSh YO.
GOTHENBORE-OR GOTHEBURG MELODIC SWEDISH DEATH METAL-The genre was genuinely founded by great bands such as At the Gates, Dismember, Grave, Carcass ect.Those Swedes are being ripped off as they wouldn't compromise thier musical integrity 10 years ago or broke up.  Commercially accessible melodic metal with elements of death and thrash. Is easily integrated with hardcore, metal core and nu metal. Underground Death metal elitists view  "Gothenbore" as "pop metal with a cold", too trendy, accessible, and not underground or groundbreaking. Biggest crossover melodic swedish metal culprits: Messhuggah, In Flames, Soilwork, Arch Enemy all seen as not brutal, and sell outs and to melodic.Too many At The Gates clones in the metal core scene as well. Death and black metal elttists HATE Gothenbore bands.
HAILS-Black metal salute or salutations specifically in Norway, and Scandinavian countries.  For those whom are "troo".
GRIMLINE-Death and black metal gossip, as in "I heard it on the GRIMLINE" instead of grapevine.

\m/ Devil horns in online format. Metal head online Salutation.
DEATH METAL- A Progression of thrash, with blast beats, growled vocals, speed.

BLACK METAL-Minimalist Scandinavian (viking) thrash metal. Metal, with anti christian themes, world destruction, misanthropic, satanic, unholy themes.BM is set to thrashy, speed laden metal with black metal, raspy screamed vocals.Bullet belts, corpse paint, arm spikes and gaunlets are all a part of BM wear. BM prides itself on bad production, on a out dated Viking heritage, and pagan philosophy. The genre of black metal was founded by Norwegian artists such as Mayhem, Bathory, Venom, Dissection, Darkthrone, Xasther ect.
COOKIE MONSTER VOCALS-Growled vocals as in imitating one of the Muppets "cookie Monsterrr", gutteral, incomprehensible, death metal vocals. also known as vomit vox..
VOKILLS-Black Metal slang for raspy black metal screams.
GRIND OR GRINDCORE- A mixture of fast metal, with elements of death/thrash/ and sometimes hardcore or punk. Napalm Death or old DRI or the pioneers in this genre.
THRASH-Metal, played to higher level of speed, with staccato, fast riffs. An upgrade from hardcore with moslty elements of metal.Clean and screamed vocals. Slayer, Kreator, Destruction. OLD Metallica,Exodus, Testament, Possessed or pioneers in this scene.ALSO SPEED METAL, as speed metal tends to be less melodic, and focuses on speed rather than out right songwriting.
DOOM-Metal played slow, without blastbeats, without speed, with both death, clean, and and screamed vocals for a more emotional, mesmerizing, melancholy, depressing, sad effect.. Doom is denoted by SLOW, repititive riffs. Like a beauty in darkness, one is not so alone in their depression. CandleMass,Entombed, Black Sabbath, My Dying Bride, Skepticism, are all doom laden bands ALSO melodic DOOM=Ala Kalmah, as one could add folk elements, violins to European doom.Black Sabbath started the DOOM genre with a dark asthetic and scared (thankfully) the hippies.
BLASTBEATS-Snare rolls, and snare drum patterns played very, very FAST, with double bass rythyms up 300-400 bpm. Blastbeats are a progression of hardcore, thrash beats, and are moslty performed by death/black and extreme metal bands.
DOOM STONER-Doom, played slow, with a metallic/psychedelic feel..SAINT VITUS,. PENTAGRAM SLEEP started it all, all other bands are rpin off BLACK SABBATH.
DEATHCORE-An offshoot of the NYDM (New York Death metal scene), hoods up, tough guy hardcore with genric, death metal rifs. Internal suffering are "originators" of this genre for better or worse.
NORSECORE-Hmm, controversial genre (better known as blackcore), a combo of European hardcore with a black metal aesthetic.
BLOWS GOATS-Metal chat slang for sucks. As in "That band blows goats"..
PROGRESSIVE METAL-Founded on the back of the classic progressive rock movement of Yes, Genesis, ect.thrash metal with technical musicianship, Progressive metal bands such as Dream Theater, Symphony X,  Iced Earth, are fore runners in this genre.
NU METAL-A combo of generic American hard rock with hardcore chugging "riffs", with rap, techno, industrial,.thrown in there. Nu Metal features hip hop fashion aesthetics, downtuned guitars, baggy pants, piercings, and ugh. Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, are forerunners in this genre. Nu Metal is the 90's version of hair metal or glam bands, and should be abolished ASAP.
NU BLACK METAL-Bands with symphonic tendencies, and keybaord saturated black metal or/and commercial European metal from a black metal atheistic. Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir are foreruners in this sub genre. These bands are also known as the back street boys of metal. Mot to say I haven't liked these bands at some point earlier in their career.
TECH/DEATH-My fave genre. Very technical playing, with progressive elements such as math metal, death, grind, ect. Cryptopsy, Necrophagist, Ion Dissonance (whom are tech/math grind), , CYNIC, Psycroptic, Nueraxis, Origin, Atheist, Spawn of Possession are for runners in this genre.
SLAM DEATH-Death metal played with a groove, founded by the NYDM (New York Death Metal Scene). As Suffocation have progressed, NYDM bands such as, Pyrexia  and LIVIDITY have taken over the groove laden slam death throne. Fun death metal to mosh too, in the old school sensibility.
FLORIDA DEATH-You should ALL know these bands. Bands that originated from Florida whom have helped to found American death metal: Cannibal Corpse (originally from Buffalo), Deicide, Morbid Angel, Malevolent, Creation ect.Hate Eternal, ect.
NYDM-New York Death Metal; founded by such bands as Suffocation, Immolation, Pyrexia, Mortal Decay, ect. IE: slam death.
METALCORE-a combo of hardcore asthetics, and hardcore DIY ethics and attitude with thrash riffs ala At The Gates, with a Gothenburgh Swedish Death influence. Unearth,  The Black Dahlia Murder, Shadows Fall are forerunners in this sub genre.Thankfully this trend is dying.
NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL-NSBM-To be avoided if non racist. (I AM non racist, non fascist), Racist, nazi, fascist black metal Burzum, Graveland, Zykon B, ect. I will find a list of NSBM bands so you know what to avoid if you are humanistic or politically correct. Despite political points of view, being NS does not discredit these bands a musicians, BUT I can think of a zilion and one bands that are better whom don't involve themselves with nazi's or fascist, or racists..
POWER METAL-Ugh, bands that sing in falsetto's, and dress like thiey are straight out of a dungeons and dragons role playing game. Hammerfall are the cheesiest of this genre, along with Nevermore ect.
That's it for now, maybe more later, Stay Metal and Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
BLACKENED/DEATH METAL: PORTAL, DEATHSPELL OMEGA and many more bands integrate the dark atmosphere of black metal with minimalstic death metal. Harder to pull off than you think.
