: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.
-l- Inverted cross- an email/online salutation for "troo" metal heads, anti religious humans.
\m/ Devil horns in online format. Metal head online Salutation.
DEATH METAL- A Progression of thrash, with blast beats, growled vocals, speed. Thematically dark, morbid, imagery of human decay, DEATH, and destruction,.illegable band logos, Morbid, dark, gothic,satanic lyrical themes.The Death metal genre was founded by bands such as Death, Possessed, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Cryptopsy ect.
BLACK METAL-Minimalist Scandinavian (viking) thrash metal. Metal, with anti christian themes, world destruction, misanthropic, satanic, unholy themes.BM is set to thrash, speed laden metal with black metal, raspy screamed vocals.Bullet belts, corpse paint, arm spikes and gauntlets 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 Scandinavian 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 mostly 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, 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.
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 mostly performed by death/black and extreme metal bands.
DOOM STONER-Doom, played slow, with a metallic/psychedelic feel..Bands such as Meatjack, Today is the Day, ect are forerunners in that genre.
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 Theatre,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 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.
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 have token over the groove laden slam death throne. Fun death metal to mosh too, in the old school sensibility. Old Dying Fetus are also for runners int his genre.
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), Death/Control Denied, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Malevolent, Creation ect., Incantation (originally from NY), 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 aesthetics, and hardcore DIY ethics and attitude with thrash riffs ala At The Gates, with a Gothenburgh Swedish Death influence. Unearth, Black Dahlia Murder, Shadows Fall are forerunners in this sub 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.
POON-Female genital organ, Metaphor for "ass" "pussy"..
POONHURT-When you've been OWNED, dismissed, dumped, or blown off by a female, or male, or you are upset because you are losing an argument.
