I'm a bit lost on why Death wasn't included, let alone listed under "DEATH".

ha ha ha! they wrote "umlaut" is that something you have for breakfast?

/of course I'm kidding, but it is a funny word.

Anybody who still calls it "heavy" metal is showing their age.

From the book of Revelations: Mexican Santa? WTF?

 
RaistlinsLegacy 2009-01-23 09:36:34 AM  
They completely forgot names dealing with Tolkien.... Amon Amarth, Gorgoroth, etc... :(Tolkien has a deserved place!

How come there's no umlauts in the word umlaut?

You know: ümläüt?

So how is Pantera foreign?

 
Ebenator 2009-01-23 10:23:22 AM  
Corncob Rape is a Faulkner reference?

De Tomaso Pantera

De Tomaso Pantera


Ah, I thought they meant the band was actually foreign.

Time for illegible band logos!

mistervague 2009-01-23 10:46:10 AM  
That list is totally valid.
All relevant bands have been included.

Read "Sanctuary."
Or better yet, don't.

System of a Down? That's almost as bad as the rock band players who were claiming NiN was metal. As far as I can tell "metal" has become a catchphrase for "angry, dissonant music I don't like".

 
busy chillin' 2009-01-23 11:46:25 AM  
Now this is real heavy metal:

Wait. WAIT.

wildstarr 2009-01-23 12:59:20 PM  
What? A Medieval section and no Kamelot.

Excuse me but my face has an appointment with my palm.

Amon Amarth is not a Viking Metal band. Yes, Johan Hegg sings about Vikings, but Amon Amarth plays Melodic Death Metal.

I love Amon Amarth, they put on an awesome show, and they will never sell out. But they don't play Viking Metal.

 
No_One_Special 2009-01-23 01:43:38 PM  
FAILchart? So many non-metal bands... and bad, bad categorizing.

Why are Ragnarok (Norse mythology) and Mexican Santa listed under "From the book of Revelations"? And Furtherm- *urk*

/has been violently prevented from continuing failchart rant

 
d3 2009-01-23 02:14:23 PM  
Too bad my friends in high school never went anywhere as a band. Chäos would have been a good one.

 
Superevil [TotalFark] 2009-01-23 04:25:54 PM  
Madadder: I'm a bit lost on why Death wasn't included, let alone listed under "DEATH".

Apparently Obituary was left out as well.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2009-01-23 06:31:27 PM  
No Rush, no Armored Saint, and unless i'm missing them, no Slayer.

Wow.

viking style, but the name itself is Mount Doom in Tolkien's Middle Earth

 
Cross of Iron 2009-01-23 10:29:13 PM  
No Leviathan or Behemoth in the Biblical section.

 
NYZooMan 2009-01-24 12:20:06 AM
