Disagree, there's no mentioning of violence in older metal at all. And at least metal in the 80's and 90's didn't have retarded pig squeals *cough cough deathcore* _________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

I love Opeth! Anyone here like Black Rose Immortal?
Black Rose Immortal is absolutely epic, but for me it will always be Demon of the Fall. _________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

I love metal, mainly Doom (Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Pentagram), and Heavy metal (Dio, Manilla Road, Iron Maiden).
Not too keen on black metal, but every style of metal has at least a couple bands I like.

Parkway Drive and ATR are metal by their use of:
Screamed/growled vocals
High tempos
Blasts and double bass in their music
Distorted and often down tuned guitars

so, Black Sabbath aren't metal?
If you want downtuned guitars, go to a metalcore convention at your local Hot Topic. _________________ "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe: Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

Well actually there is plenty of mention of violence.....as well as sex, drugs and the devil in the older metal. Just look at Black Sabbath, not that any of that is 'bad' to make lyrics about. Also what does deathcore have to do with today's metal other then that it's influenced by death metal but certainly not death metal or metal in general. _________________ It's like alice in wonderland except, my names not alice and this is the real world not a dream.
