The shittiest bands ever!
With emo, useless names that all sound the same. Most of the songs start out with a very generic, shitty distorted guitar, and an angry teenager screaming random "words" into a borrowed microphone. A third grader has better lyrical capacities, a retarded bear can play drums faster and more in sync with the shittiest guitar playing I have ever heard. Usually an average of 1 1/2 songs on the Myspace page, a range of 38-1,000 friends, and a lot of comments from emo bitches and other useless people about how good they are. When the truth is, they suck big donkey balls.
These bands also frequently post bulletins either about "UPCOMING SHOW!!!111one" or "NEW SONG UP" or nothing in particular. The fellow local myspace metal bands all display the same photoshopped, overdressed poster as their default. So much anticipation and high hopes for their "EPIC UPCOMING SHOW". But when or if the show ever happens, it is the worst, most unimpressive display of a band ever witnessed. They all borrow the same PA system, and heavily taped microphone, and there is no professionalism in the way the music is played.
Deadbeat "show booker": *calls a lot of local "venues" for a place to have the show*
Finally getting success, he has a show booked, but it is in the crummier side of town(nobody wants that b/s in any good areas).
*show is playing; brEEE breEEEE!!*
Hoodniggaz: check out these mutha fuckas!
*beats and stabs the living shit out of every little emo fag in sight*
Onlooker: DAAAAYYUM! now THAT is myspace metal!!

Battle metal is the name of two similar, but distinct forms of heavy metal music.
By one definition, battle metal is a fusion of melodic death metal and Power Metal. The guitar parts are reminiscent of Iron Maiden's harmonizing, rhythmically complex duets, which took on a new meaning with bands like Carcass, In Flames, Arch Enemy, At The Gates, and Dark Tranquillity. The vocals and song arrangements, on the other hand, are more akin to Stradivarius and Sonata Arctica.
By the other definition, battle metal is a subgenre of black metal, closely related to epic metal and drawing on themes of medieval or fantasy battle and fighting, and in the opinion of some would be suitable for the soundtrack for a Role Playing Game. Battle metal bands like Summoning were (falsely) rumored to be possible contributors to the soundtrack of the Lord of the Rings movies, but this was mainly because of the Tolkien-related content of their music, but they did not appear on the soundtrack.
The band Bolt Thrower is considered to be a pioneer in this genre, as their name comes directly from a gigantic crossbow-type weapon used in the popular tabletop strategy game Warhammer Fantasy Battles. The lyrics and artwork of their second and third albums were based on the Warhammer game, as well as its futuristic companion Warhammer 40,000, with much of the art even being provided by the game's publisher, Games Workshop. The general theme of their lyrics is war and its consequences.
Most bands who play battle metal also contribute to other sub-genres of black metal: for instance, Bathory are prominent in the Viking metal sub-genre, and Waylander are pioneers of three sub-genres of black metal: battle metal, folk metal and Celtic Metal. Other metal bands have produced individual songs that fit the battle metal genre - the power metal band Thy Majestie is an example.
The band Turisas is considered to be the band who gave the genre its name by mixing all the previously mentioned styles and much more into one on their album "Battle Metal" (2004), even though Bolt Thrower has been together and performing since the mid-1980s.
Not to be confused with Australian War Metal.
I love jamming some epic Battle Metal while we're pulling a Warhammer allnighter! Makes the game come alive!

An alternative term for Nu Metal, a genre that emerged in the late 1990s.
"Linkin Park grew out of the aggro metal sound by the late 2000s."

A form of hard rock, that started in the early 1990s, with such bands as Korn. Contrary to popular belief, Nu Metal is not actuualy a Metal style, because it evolved from hardcore, which in turn evolved from punk, and not metal.
Nu Metal is closely related to rapcore.
Korn, Limp Bizkit, (new) In Flames, (new) Soilwork.

A somewhat slang term to describe a genre of heavy metal. Quest Metal generally refers to power metal, especially bands who have a very large amount of fantasy-inspired lyrics, or focus on concept albums.
Quest Metal is actually just power metal, but examples of both include Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, HammerFall, DragonForce, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Helloween.

Dust metal is a genrè of music often used to describe metal music with ethnic roots. Bands such as Soulfly who bring their Brazilian roots and mix it with 'usual' metal.
The term is used more in the U.K than most other places but it is slowly becoming a more widely used genrè.
Person 1: "What are you favourite genrès of music?"
Person 2: "I like metal, glam rock, and dust metal"
Person 1: "Which dust metal bands?"
Person 2: "Skindred, Soulfly, SOAD....etc."
