#MetalMusic #Metal #Metalband #NikNocturnal - Hudba
"Im NoT a BiG dEaTh FaN" I'm glad Nik is comfortable enough to come out to us as a Taylor Swift fan.
Nik, Cannibal Corpse is never and will never be better than Death. L take.
I love Nik. he's great and everybody is entitled to their own opinion
But that opinion is wrong😂
@Metal_Screamer I'd say Death are a better band, but Cannibal Corpse encapsulate death metal better, if it makes sense. Death are the OG (arguably) but by today's standards they'd be classified as prog death, probably.
@@guillaumelagueyte1019 I like me some Cannibal Corpse, but I respectfully disagree with you. Cannibal Corpse took notes from Death because Death was the first real death metal band (fuck off Possessed fans). And I think that Deaths first 3 albums are great representations of “death metal” in the way people think of it.
When people said that - id be like “ then go listen to hanna Montana 😂”
Blows my mind how many subgenres he doesn’t know
Average metalcore listerner lmao
He has a life
IKR 😂 My exact thoughts when I started watching this channel 😅
@@le_monke986DAMN
He only cares about metalcore
Nik knowledge when other subgenre than metalcore:
Or deathcore
@painusinuranus3689 I know your lil stubborn poser elitist ass can't handle truth, but yes, *metal*core is in fact, metal. Yes it comes from hardcore punk, guess what, metal comes from blues, does that matter jack shit when determining what genre another genre belongs to?? no. You listen to the music, dip. Metal is a riff focused genre, do we have the metal riffs? absolutely. Do we have the complex drum patterns? Absolutely. Do we have the screaming techniques? Absolutely. At this point it's literally only hilarious watching elitists even trying to mental gymnastics their way through the idea of metalcore not being metal, when realistically you just can't exclude it with any definition, without also excluding iconic less heavy subgenres like power metal or traditional metal.
@painusinuranus3689 yeah, that pretty much explains his arrogance
@painusinuranus3689 ok elitist
I was shocked he didn’t know about Death Doom & Drone…
The fact that Nik knows like no metal sub genres but every metalcore/deathcore sub-sub genre is very on brand 😂
caz its not really metal but its own subculture
@@Jesus-fz5ks I'd call it metal but yeah there is a reason core was shit on 24/7 back in the mid 00's and had a huge separation from its fans and all other metal. It is its own thing especially the fan base is usually not crossing over as much back then.
Until modern popcore became popular partially due to ARCHERS and BMTH
Homie doesn’t know his subgenres.
For real lmao
Blackened Death Metla and Crossover thrash are all established subgenres and are very popular. Nik is either too young or doesn't know ant genres outside of metalcore lol
homie isn't really into old school metal, nothing wrong until he pretends otherwise.
Exposing himself as a massive poser.
He literally doesn't know anything 😂
OK, so I guess Nik really only knows deathcore and metalcore
Lmao
Laom
aomL
Yeah he’s really more of a core kid
"Ah yes, Sabbaton, my favourite war metal band."
"sabbaton is war metal" 💀
He doesn’t know what that actually is.
As a non-fan, I'd say it's fair. My first association when I hear "Sabbaton" is: "Oh, war metal".
@@yoshiro284Sabaton is power metal. War metal is an actual subgenre, which is a combination of raw black metal with a little bit of death metal
Better not knowing about it. Better keeping NikNoc PG-13, because knowing a subgenre where most of the bands are made by white supremacists, if you don't count Archgoat, Blasphemy, Blood Chalice and Antichrist Siege Machine and maybe Morbosidad isn't really a thing to be proud of. The music is usually crappy too, except for a limited number of artists.
Ok: no way, he thinks AILD is the best Christian metal band.
He thinks Cattle Decap, a DEATHGRIND band, are the best DEATH METAL band. Even Josh Elmore and Travis Ryan would say Death.
sodom and its not even close
The metalcore glazer strikes again
So what I got from this is that Nik doesn’t listen to anything pre 2003
He doesn't listen to anything that isn't deathcore or metalcore.
And i don't listen anything post-2010.
Linkin Park?
9:37 Nik thinks War Metal is about war themed lyrics and not brutal black metal 😂😂
😂😂😂
Black metal is its own sub genre lol
well, it's not 100% correct bc war metal has some fusion with thrash metal. So war metal is thrash-black
@@ABSNOBODY191 id say more death than thrash but I guess
@@ABSNOBODY191War metal is more connected to first wave than second wave bm. Therefore the thrash influence.
(7:37) Bro just pissed off the war metal community 💀☠️
I mean, it's Sabaton. There is no other. Just like Amon Amarth with Viking Metal.
@@KILLSMASHsabaton is not war metal dumasshoe
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb Calm down
@KILLSMASH OH boy, War metal and Sabaton are borderline polar opposites
@@KILLSMASH war metal is a version of black metal. It's more of black metal with a touch of death, not to be confused with blacken death which is death metal with a touch of black metal. Don't take the name war as literal war, AKA Sabaton is not it.
>sludge metal mentioned
>acid bath not mentioned
This entire article is trash.
love acid bath but eyehategod is more deserving of the title of best sludge band
@@digitalmortality2001No shade to EYEHATEGOD, but you can't say that when Meth Drinker exists
@@bardolomaios2g301 in my opinion, eyehategod is the direct definition of sludge metal: a mix of doom metal with hardcore punk. still fairly new to sludge, so i'll put meth drinker on my list.
Bro wtf dying fetus is not slam 😂
right?? There's alot of great slam bands to choose from, but dying fetus is more bdm with beatdown. And I fucking love dying fetus
@@Whywhohow347 you lost me at there’s a lot of great slam bands
Bruhhh ain’t no way they said dying fetus is slam it’s brutal death metal nothing more nothing less lmao
@@JayRamahi3810 There are tho? What you mean?
@@Whywhohow347 maybe a few good stand out ones among the sea of regurgitated vomited vocals, fart-sounding guitar chugs, and tin cup snare drums suitable for a radio Disney song. My point is they all sound the same and terrible at that.
I like you nik, but damn, this was a tough watch at times
Yep
Completely agree
elaborate or this comment is pure useless
@@naantjez what? 💀
@@naantjez by not knowing genres … it is hard to watch.
Nik: “we do fun metal things here!”
Also Nik: doesn’t know or has underbaked opinions about 90% of metal subgenres
“Ing-way” 🤣
I was very dissapointed to find out he didn't know these subgenres when he says "we do fun metal things here"
Even the subgenres he supposedly knows he has very surface level opinions, which wouldn’t be a problem if he stopped saying “fun metal things” lol
if he's into fun metal things, but doesn't know Korpiklaani ?
@@autohmae The man doesn't drink vodka apparently.
Dying fetus is slam?? In what world.
Cannibal Corpse before Death? In what universe? I believe you when you say you’re a metalcore guy
i thought that was a bad pick, but then he chose dragonforce over helloween like wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its called opinion
@@boglarkahavasi154 And opinions are open to criticism. Did you have a point?
I'm a massive death metal fan and I'd pick CC over Death any day. "Kill" is one of my favourite albums of all time. I listened to Death alot as a kid but I think in terms of death metal they're just not as heavy and "brutal" as the likes of CC, Suffo, Nile, Immolation, Morbid Angel or Deicide ( just to name a few of the bands of Death's era).
@@JezusSlaves being musical is more important. Only posers care so much about being "brutal"
Half of the death metal bands were inspired by death, Chuck Schuldiner’s music knowledge is unmatched
Why metalheads always think that the FIRST band in a genre was the best? It doesnt work like that usualy. Things get better with time. Its like saying the first car was the best😅. I love Death tho.
@@PSZEMKIIn this case, I think that argument is warranted. Death not only pioneered the foundation of the genre but made arguably the best death metal album of all time.
@@PSZEMKI Actually the first death metal band was possessed they released an extended play called seven churches, but everything death had done from head to tail was exceptional, their first album scream bloody gore opened a new whole world to metal community and became inspiration for upcoming death metal bands
@@JackKlompus-es5biwhat album would that be, sir?
@sorrowoo The general consensus is that it's Symbolic, but one could make an argument for Leprosy as well.
Missed that Black Sabbath was there twice before he noticed Death.
how does nik not know crossover? or blackened death? I'm so confused lmao
Average core listener (me)
lmaoo even as an avid core fan I knew about all of these subgenres
@@pissluffarskov my man!
He’s a twinkcore listening poser
This is because he is a poser
Sabaton is not War Metal, they are Power Metal. War Metal is bands like Conqueror, Antichrist Siege Machine, Revenge, etc.-- Blasphemy was the right choice there lol.
Cattle Decapitation is Deathgrind, Carcass is also 1st wave Deathgrind (or just straight up Grind without the Core), Goregrind would be bands like Lymphatic Phlegm, Last Days of Humanity, etc..
Some of the listed bands are not in the right categories lmao. They could've picked any number of bands for the Stoner Doom that weren't Sabbath, like Sleep, Bongzilla, etc..
Wydm Carcass literally started goregrind. Deathgrind is stuff like Terrorizer, Repulsion, and Insect Warfare.
@@digitalmortality2001 Kind of, the paradigm shift to the pitch shifted/ distorted otherwise vocals for goregrind kinda folds them into being a crossover of deathgrind and goregrind, they didn't stick to the themes either.
Definitely good picks with Repulsion and IW too for Deathgrind.
@@digitalmortality2001 This. First two Carcass albums are who made the Goregrind genre.
Alestorm is wondering why Pirate Metal didn't make the list... Edit: Turias wants a Battle Metal category
If "pirate metal" was a genre, Running Wild is 100% the best.
@@arrebarre900 I'll check them out, thanks.
tbf if War Metal and Viking Metal make the list, Pirate and Dwarf Metal should definitely make it as well.
@@bschuss1 War metal is nothing like viking, pirate and dwarf metal lol its an actual genre.
@@bschuss1I mean, War metal is actually sonically different, whereas Viking, pirate, and dwarf just describe the theme, and are usually some combination of power, folk, and death (in the case of Amon Amarth). Like Bathory, Amon Amarth, Nytt Land, and Myrkur could all be described as Viking metal, but they do not sound the same.
You dont know Crossover Thrash? The crossover is between the hardcore punk of the 80s and the thrash metal of the 80s (mostly). It's the progenitor of metalcore ffs, as well as various other fusions of punk subgenres & metal subgenres. Defined by, well, Suicidal Tendencies, but a ton of hardcore bands meet (or at some point have met) the criteria, and a whole scene arose from it, Agnostic Front & the Cro-Mags, the Exploited, DRI, or Corrosion of Conformity, Municipal Waste, and Stormtroopers of Death. This eventually more or less led to proto-metalcore hardcore (now often referred to simply as "metalcore"), like Hatebreed & Earth Crisis, or Rorscach, Botch & Converge.
When I was a kid we just called all those bands "hardcore" and punk was just like, non-metallic punk: crust punk, Oi, skate punk, or pop-punk & ska-punk, and nobody ever said "hardcore punk." Then in my 20s metalcore became the big crossover of the styles and retroactively the term for the rest of those bands unless they fit into the crossover umbrella.
I feel like either he is a poser and doesn't really know metal or trolling. Though he can literally don't know all this stuff as he mostly listens to metalcore and claims to be a metalcore fan not a metal fan.
Well, I probably not the biggest metal fan but I at least know the subgenres and what they are sound like.
I never understood why core kids don't understand classic or extreme metal, till someone pointed out that they are basically the hip-hop crowd 😂
@@helm_108i'm pretty sure nik is only 25
Elitist metal fans you acting like you’re better because you know more genres that’s sad
When the "slamming blackened symphonic technical brutal death metal" is the real thing
Is that not technically Lorna Shore lol
@@Sam-uu2nx
Symphonic blackened deathcore with slam breakdown and technical riff 💀
@@Sam-uu2nx😂😂😂 no
when the „hardcore blackened symphonic noise atmospheric technical progressive grind brutal deathcore extreme metal“ is the real thing
hilarious 😐
> Sabaton
> War Metal
Poser spotted,
Mans never Heard of Blasphemy or Tetragramicide.
this guy isnt even a metalhead in the first place. and yeah war metal kicks ass. order from chaos is my fav band which can be categorized in there but they are difficut to label tbh
@@Jesus-fz5ks yeah.
Do you have any war metal recommendations since I can't find more
@@Trollolololol69 WyattxHim has a video on War Metal where he mentions a lot of bands, so maybe check out that.
@@Trollolololol69 ill give you some. Prehistoric war cult, caveman cult, abysmal lord, revenge, damaar and as i already said order from chaos but its different then the typical war metal.
Bro obviously never heard war metal
Nik you should make a video where you review some of these subgenres to expand horizon
Get the CD from ’98 from your closet, crank up the volume, and wait until track 12 is over. From then on, follow the leader.”
It's ON!
@@DraustTrollbaneUS After all these years, as you’ve grown older, worked hard, and endured a lot, you put on the song, and it gives you strength, revitalizes you immensely. You feel young and full of energy
Power metal should have been blind guardian
Folk metal should have been ensiferum
I agree Ensiferum or maybe Wintersun, but at least Korpiklaani is a reasonable choice.
Eluveitie would have also been solid for Folk.
Nah, Helloween is the original. Correct pick.
power metal riot
I agree on Blind Guardian, but for folk metal I'd put Moonsorrow over Ensiferum.
Woah woah woah, wait, you know not of the gods of Sunn O)))?!?!?! That has to change like now.
HE NEEDS TO GET SUNN O))) IN HIS VEINS NOW
Yeah pretty surprising he doesn’t know sunn o))). If you guys enjoy drone/sludge/doom check out Mizmor. Long ass intros with insane atmospheric chaos. I love it.
This thread makes me happy. That being said, I’m surprised people don’t know who Sunn O))) are. Drone metal I can understand but SURELY you’ve at least HEARD the name Sunn O)))? Or Earth? Boris? Melvins?
I just gave it a listen and I can truly say, even as a metalhead... I dont get it.
BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *continues for 14 minutes*
Choosing cannibal corpse over death just confirms his v card is still their
Not including Mastodon is criminal
Agreed. But where do you fit them in?
@@TheOriginalHairyDave Hard to say, they could have gone under Sludge, but they add elements of progressive metal too
if there was such thing as Psychedelic Metal… they’d fit right in
@@mattkesner3581 absolutely agree! Mastodon over eyehategod for sludge.
@@cabhi1804
I think some Sludge fans aren't too keen of some of the more porggy and mainstream albums they've done.
I hate to be that guy by Sabaton is not even close to war metal 😭
The gap between Nik's knowledge of metal vs his guitar/songwriting skills is astounding.
Nik does NOT know metal 💀💀
Who gives a shit... we're all posers in our own way
@@reubenwiegand169 poser
Linkin Park>>>>>>>>>>>>Killswitch Engage
alternative title: nik doesn't know a thing about metal subgenres
he's always been such a poser and no one realised until now
God forbid a man doesnt know what 'drone metal' is😭😭😭
@@ayoitsjesus2339 I mean, Drone is not really obscure if you have done any surface level research about music
Does anyone actually listen to Drone, Black, Death Metal and Grindcore?
I think most people listen to the softer side of Metal like Linkin Park and ARCHERS
Post Human Survival Horror did so well because it was Nu-Metal influenced, it was fresh AND it was BOTH Heavy AND Melodic!
Homie said Sabaton is War Metal
nik nocturnal when not deathcore and metalcore
Goregrind should have been Torsofuck or Last Days of Humanity.
Technical Death Metal should be Necrophagist or Cynic.
Tech Death Necrophagist obviously.
Definitely Necrophagist for tech death. Death isn't really tech death, influential on it sure, but it's not tech death
Goregrind should be Carcass or Last days of humanity, but torsofuck is pretty brutal too
@@Cyrax431Obscura or Alkaloid for me
isnt torsofuck pornogrind?
Is this the biggest poser in all of history?
Yes
Guy just dismissed blackened death metal like it doesnt exist
Pop/Tiktok metal: Sleep Token
You can also call it zoomer metal 😂😂
Sleep Token is one of those bands that I don't think is even really metal for the most part.
@@102ndsmirnov7then what is it? It's prog
@@xxLonniExx for the sake of Zoomers possibly coming up with decent metal bands, please do not curse them like this 😂 We need everything we can get!
@@wilhelmscream6834 Well, I'm a zoomer myself 🤭😂 but I just can't stand it when my friends (who also happen to be into K-pop) blaring their music out loud and says that's what a good metal music is.
dosn't know sun o)))? Maybe that was sarcasm that just flew over my head
He doesn't listen to anything that isn't core/alt metal
He doesn't even know who suicidal tendencies is.
@@arkvedouch .
@@arkvedit bugs me when videos say they will talk about metal … then only talk about core 😂
I mean sunn while probably being among the most well known drone bands arent really that big of a band.
There’d be no Dragonforce without Helloween
The fact that he has 1 mil subs with this knowledge is insane
Viking metal: Amon Amarth ? What ? Bathory anyone ?
That’s what I was thinking. Amon Amarth isn’t even Viking metal they’re melodeath
@@thepotatolord3052viking metal is not a real genre. Just like pirate, dwarf or any other random name with 0-2 bands in in
@@counterspell69 wrong. viking metal doesn't consist solely on viking lyrics like the other genres you mentioned.
Enslaved
@@atvena Enslaved is prog black 😉
Kind of feels like metalheads treat the subgenres like discovering a new species in the rainforest. The slightest difference is a whole new thing.
The thing is there is a very noticeable difference between each subgenre so it makes sense to separate them
Except it's not rainforest, it's norwegian forest, and it's not a new species, it's lost black metal folks.
We like our subgenres. Sue us.
They're like different kinds of spices you get a few favorite flavors but you won't like every single one in existence. And argue that mexican and indian or korean and jap spices are the same while mild ones are for sissies.
@@thepotatolord3052I bet it does, just reminded me of the parallel :D
Im not a church person anymore but best christian metal band is Demon Hunter.
In my opinion it is antestor some times also called crush evil, or vengeance rising
Christian metal isn't even a subgenre. Christian artists can belong in any genre.
@@chut7158100% Antestor, Mortification is good too.
If we call Christian a subgenre (it isn't), it's Phinehas. Then Theocracy. Then a HUGE gap.
Or Impending Doom
You not being familiar with crossover thrash was a joke, right?
I love you Nik, but your takes on Death were horrible.
he only listens to emo pop and melodic metalcore
I don't think he's listened to them haha
should have given Tech Death to Nile
Them, gorguts or cryptopsy
@@thepotatolord3052 I really like Anata. But I'm honestly not sure how well known they are
@@anester1866Anata is sick as hell
Gojira imo, but Nile is a fair pick too.
@@s0t33W Gojira isn't tech death, they're prog death imo. Tech death goes to Obscura
Bro doesn’t know subgenres💀
Jesus Christ man this is embarrassing
"Slam: Dying Fetus" LOL
"I'm not a big Death fan" me neither dude, me neither. But Death is inevitable.
Thank you. Saying you don‘t like death when talking about death metal is like saying you don‘t like the beatles when talking about music in general
Slam should be Devourment hands down
True
Agreed
Word
frfr
their obscene majesty album marked the end of shit slam
Bro is not a Death fan and disagrees with putting them as best death metal band? No wonder youre metalcore enjoyer, hearing issues certainly helps lmao
jk
no but for real wtf is this take on death
Acid Bath is the best Sludge Band. Hands down. RIP Audie Pitre.
I think crowbar, acid bath and eyehategod are all good answers
@@thepotatolord3052 Oh yeah Crowbar too.
Yeah, Crowbar and Melvins. And some Down for relax
This pretty much shows you're not a metalhead lmao "Huuuh death SLASH doom!????!?"
Sabaton War Metal ?!?!?!?!
Korpiklaani goes hard. I found them when I started getting into "melodic death metal" back in the day. Check out the song Northern Fall. It's fun
Im surprised nicks not heard of these genres, i hear about them all the time.
Get out from your mom's basement for once.
How are you surprised by this poser not knowing anything about metal
METAL subgenres confuse the hell out of me lol
It's just a marketing scam. Most of these bands sound exactly the same.
@@XManium Not even close
@@XManium Korpiklannni sounds the same as Dying Fetus? Okay.
This is the first time I've ever heard you mention btbam and it made me happy
Epica! \m/ Excellent choice. Should be Within Temptation though if you still fit them in this genre.
Yeah I think they diverged away from the Symphonic genre. Even though they are still fire❤
(5:22) No one appreciates Godflesh anymore 😢
that was the first band that came to my head!!
Saying Cattle Decapitation or Cannibal Corpse are better than Death is CRAZY. Not just the best death metal band but one of the greatest metal bands ever, Symbolic is one of my top 5 albums ever.
Cattle Decapitation isn't even death metal, it is considered Progressive Deathgrind
i'm fine with Cannibal Corpse but cattle decap is fucking ass i don't understand why people like it
@@thetk9622just deathgrind. Nothing is prog about their music
100%. Chuck is a God. Morbid Angel equally as good for me too.
I think Cannibal is valid and on the same level as Death (listen to The Bleeding if you haven’t) but Cattle Decap actually fucking sucks ass though idk why he would ever say they’re better than Death
Seeing Nik not know a lot of subgenres made me laugh and slightly cringe. I know Nik is still learning, but damn this was really funny or painful.
More like painful, even cringe at times. I can't.
Any half baked metal deep dive on youtube will introduce you to some Drone and Sun O)))
Still learning? He's a been a content creator for how many years now?
@@FeartheKlown Yeah wtf. Hes closing in on 30 right and doesn't know Death? Its not like hes an 18 year old new to the genre. I was listening to Death and Cannibal Corpse when I was like 12 or 13 back in the 2000s. I get he's into metalcore first but cmon man.
Nik on Blackened Death Metal: we making stuff up now LoudWire?
Also Nik on Kawaii Metal: Babymetal, yes go take it (as if theres more than 10 bands classified as Kawaii Metal)
Homie never heard of half these bands
this was lame as hell lol.
dude needs to expand his taste outside of his 3ft core world. putting cannibal corpse as #1 for death metal tells me he has no idea what any of these genres are lmfao shallow.
Death is LEAGUES ahead of Cannibal Corpse. Both in guitar work, and just song writing in general. Chuck is THE greatest death metal guitarist ever.
Chuck just used melodies in Death music, something that most death metal don't have. It was not only about speed, Symbolic was a masterpiece with beautiful leads in some songs. I would even say Chuck is the greatest metal guitarist ever.
What a great idea for a video! Thank you Loudwire! Haha.
We need a Nik Nocturnal reacts to different war metal bands video. (Blasphemy, Conqueror, Profane Order, Diocletian, Impiety, Beherit) type shit😂
Nik hasn't listened to a lot of Death. Listen to the track "Secret Face" on the 1991 Human. Or "Lack of Comprehension" on the same record. For it's time, both technical and proggy.
You had me at Cattle Decap, YES.
Says "Sabaton is war metal",
5 minutes later "I didn't know war metal was a thing"
Fuck this is the earlist ive been to a nik video
Amon Amarth isnt viking metal. They're a melodic death metal band that sings about vikings
I wouldn't call them melo death. when I think Melo death I think In Flames and bodom and amom amarth isn't like either of them.
nik nocturnal is the nik nocturnal of the metal scene thats crazy
Hey nik! Great video! Love your channel ❤
Crossover is Thrash plus Hardcore. It's a legit genre that you should know.
lol? Thrash is already part of hardcore music, hardcore is a fusion between punk and thrash.
Dude ...
@@ABSNOBODY191thrash has always taken from punk and hardcore but crossover was way more of a mix, and partly came down to the subculture side of it
4:30 this one was the worst choice. There is only one correct answer for the best Folk-Metal band out there and the answer is: *Eluveitie*
I agree
Ensiferum?
@@djohnny1337well, I wouldn't agree but it would be definitely a better choice than Korpiklaani
@@djohnny1337 well, I wouldn't agree but it would be definitely a better choice than Korpiklaani
i don't like Korpiklaani either but Eluveitie?? come on
as a whole band, Whitechapel absolutely clears S.S. they’re both og’s, but Whitechapel’s discography is better than Silence’s by a mile. Mitch is a legend no doubt, but Phil is on another level when it comes to vocals
Dude only knows metalcore
inferi are so underrated atm.... they are just crushing this genre! (and me and my band do play some techdeath as well..)
Blind Guardian should have been there instead of Helloween
Well, Helloween is at least a better answer than Nik's choice of DragonForce 😂😂
Helloween or Stratovarius...
or sabaton, beast in black, battle beast, brothers of metal, gloryhammer
Or Powerwolf...
The only correct answer
I love that everyone says hi to me when the video starts. Top notch comments, Twitch.
The most famous metal fan doesn't know metal subgenres 😂😂😂😂😂 or trolling
Scary how little this guy knows about metal really
Dude. You should expand your musicals horizon. Listen to the bands you didn't know. It's good for you
Ppl who argue about fitting bands into the perfect subgenre are annoying af
Yea but still you cant just do what you want. Dying fetus isnt a slam band.
Nik, you really are a perfect representation for zoomer "metalheads." Congrats.
Nickelback is the best for all categories
As a side note: War Metal and Sabaton could not be further apart from each other
Would In Flames really be considered Death Metal? Either way C.O.B clears. Alexi the GOAT
Not liking Death is def the weirdest take I've heard from Nik. agree on the Technical Death Metal thing tho, I go with Necrophagist on tech death.
Djent: Periphery
Progressive metal: Periphery
Pop metal: Periphery
I think A Day to Remember should be Pop metal/core, if you put in pop progressive metal then, for me, periphery is the most correctly
All 3 genres can be represented in one P song, too.
Example: Alpha, Atropos, Stranger Things, and a few others..
Djent is not a genre
@@squattingslavyeah, djent is more of a play style that's used in certain subgenres. Like dowmpicking for example.
Periphery may be my favorite band but they don't get the Djent category unless Meshuggah gets Proto-Djent. They certainly don't exemplify Progressive or Pop as much as some other bands either. It's a fantastic mix of all of them, but not what people generally think of first with these specific categories.
crossover thrash is definitely a very real genre, but i think its used more in HxC spaces. Its hardcore punk combined with thrash metal
This is a hot ass take, but I never found linkin park to be nu metal, I always found them to be under the post grunge label
Their first album is definitely nu metal. The rest is up for debate I guess.
they were popular when post grunge was big but they definitely arent post grunge imo
@@the_seer_0421 Yeah and 1 album does not forever make a band 1 genre. I guess Hybrid Theory has some Nu metal but anything after that no and even then I can barely consider Hybrid Theory metal and I've honestly never even heard of anyone considering it to be until this video.
