P.S. No offense Khar, while Burzum is a classic of the bm scene, I'm not sure its the best way to introduce someone to the differences between subgenres.

Yeah, but I'm not sure what IS. Immortal (possibly 'Grim and Frostbitten Kingdoms' was the only other serious option I was considering, but I thought Burzum made a nice, definite contrast with the other stuff, whereas Immortal might have been harder to discern apart.

Also, ironically* Jed, Borondir is probably the least likely person I can think of who knows his metal and would be wearing a skull codpiece.

People who question the need for labelling can go away and play with themselves. It's an integral part of music criticism, if nothing else.

*well, not really, but hey.

Scandanavian War Machine:
-death metal: slower drums usually super growly vocals
-black metal: blast beats (inhumanly fast drums) and fast high screamy vocals

those are just my generalizations and observations. theres more obviously, but this just a quick explanation.

Jedit:

Not Borondir, the artist.  If you haven't heard the original Hicks, here's the quote:


--- Quote from: Bill Hicks ---I want my children to listen to people who fucking rocked. I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit. I want someone who plays from his fucking heart. "Mommy, mommy, the man that Bill told me to listen to has a blood bubble on his nose!" Shut up and listen to him play!  

The New Kids [on the Block]! "Hi we're the New Kids and we're so good and clean-cut..." (performs mock fellatio on the mike) "We're so clean cut!" Seig Heil! Heil! Heil! A good clean country... Heil! Heil! Heil! (more mock fellatio)

Fuck that! I want my rock stars dead! I want them to fucking play with one hand and put a gun in their other fucking hand and go "I hope you enjoy the show!" (imitates shooting himself in the head) Yes! Yes! Play from your fucking heart!

...I am available for children's parties by the way...

Bastardous Bassist:

--- Quote from: Jedit ---I didn't really want or need that question answering.  It's a matter of taste, plain and simple.  Personally I think they're the auditory equivalent of a mugging; others will of course disagree (or they like being mugged), as is their right.
--- End quote ---


Oh man, if you think Opeth sound like getting mugged, then I ask you not to listen to the more brutal stuff.  It might actually damage you!


--- Quote from: BeoPuppy ---Nah, you're right there, Opeth are bad.
--- End quote ---


Now, you may dislike Opeth, but they are clearly much more competent musicians than a good number of bands that are far more successful than they.  I'm not saying they're the best out there, so don't interpret what I'm saying as that and reply saying, "But [band x] is far better than they are, and [band x] is more popular, too!"  Sometimes good musicians get popular, for no apparent reason.  I think the record company sometimes fucks up and signs someone who's actually good.

Soidanae:
I like Opeth, not one of my favorites, but they don't cause me to weep in pain.  Their lack of a good solid flow in songs kind of annoys me, however...I do enjoy it when my songs are a coherent, flowing whole...but it isn't o bad.  I really dislike Opeth's growls.

And it's not that I dislike that style, either.  Amon Amarth, Demonoid, and Sirenia all use growls and do a magnificent job with them...it just feels like Opeth growl has one possibly vocal pitch and doesn't do emotion very well, while the others...the growling is an actual voice as opposed to wuuuuuuurgh.
