Are you trying to say that Converge is part metal? I love me some Converge... But part Metal? No. Not at all...

Damn it, sir. I love you, but you're the kind of guy that makes metal seem like some kind of science. "VIKING METAL isn't really a major subgenre but it does exist (the first album was Hammerheart by Bathory) so I thought I'd just whack it on here." Also, thanks. Just for that.

Sub-subs... Do they really matter?

Thank you. An amazingly descriptive most minus the politics of a, *gasp*, label? Good job, sir.

<3 Just sayin.

Imperial Library :P And yeah, I get it. I put my actual quote in a different post. I think I fixed it. Sorry about that, good sir.

Makes more sense now. I'm the dick in this convo :( But yes, I basically completely agree. I'm just overly pumped, I suppose. Not to mention the lack of knowledge when it comes to Tosh...

Yet, only the most casual of Black Metal fans would ever say Venom. They're completely NWOBHM. Proto-First-Wave. Just like Velvet Underground is "proto-punk". You're just being stubborn now, which is fine. First BM is arguable. First DM is arguable, etc. etc... Yet, the first folk metal...

Apocalyptic Romance (thanks to whoever got me into that earlier. pretty much amazing.) Questionable Content is the best thing ever Shows? Arrested Development. It's Always Sunny. Workaholics.

You may be completely misunderstanding me, because I completely agree. After he's done with the Akavir, he's all about Tamriel. That's exactly what I'm saying. He's gonna try and screw the fuck outta Skyrim.

So, if Korpiklaani didn't "invent" this "folk metal", who did? Just because Korpik draws from trad Finnish Folk does not make them any sort of special "folk metal" band... I would like to know what earlier bands you are talking about.

I call lies. >: "Tosh Raka was a King of Ka Po' Tun (or the "Tiger-Dragon Empire"), believed to have ruled some time towards the end of the Third Era. Through unknown methods, the King transformed himself into a Dragon. As of the moment, King Tosh Raka plans to conquer Akavir, and then set...

Well, yeah @ almost everything you said. I'm mostly just asking for opinions. However... You also think that Tosh Raka is a main part of the plot-line? He's been reported to invade Tamrial for some time now, too. It's kind of blowing my mind that so many people have been agreeing with me...

Still call bullshit. So you're saying Korpiklaani has created its own metal genre because of its "folky" stylings? Are you also willing to call Running Wild "Pirate Metal"? Drudkh uses folk instruments, yet everyone knows they are Black Metal. Same as Temnozor...

I'll eat that map.
