A mixture of death, black, and power metal for the most part.
Dissection, Nevermore, and Necrophagist are usually my go-to.

And I'm stunned that nobody has ever done a topic so obvious on this site until now before.
Alright, let's go through all the subgenres you complained about. Each one has its own distinctive musical structure and rules, and in such a large master genre (Metal), they are needed to differentiate exactly what kind of sound a listener is looking for.Mr.Tea said:...Whistler777 said:Snipetty snip
The ever-growing number of sub-genres and the ever-growing 'bullshittiness' of their monikers and half-baked descriptions never ceases to baffle me.
Suicidal depressive black?
Viking?
Brutal death?
National fucking socialist?
Preposterous... and utterly so.
Hold your tongue, sir. Viking metal is awesome stuff.Mr.Tea said:...Whistler777 said:Snipetty snip

Also, don't ***** about something you know nothing about. If you wanted to know more about them, you could have asked me.
Go out and buy each one of these records (as I have), and tell me they don't sound unique:

Impavida's not bad, but a simple "black metal" classification would suffice. "Suicidal depressive black" sounds utterly stupid.
Disturbed has its moments, too. I particularily like Meaning of Life.Kriptonite said:*snip*

That's why they're normally called either Suicidal Black, or Depressive Black. Not both.
And if you think that a general Black Metal tag could go on just any band, that just shows me how [i]little[/i] you know about metal.
