Now that Lordi has won Eurovision, I am sure most of the archives members have been swamped with questions about metal and the differences between the many styles. So this small guide was quickly drawn up to answer as easily the pressing questions from family and friends/relations. Since we are completely incapable of telling one style musically from another (and even if we did, it would take too long, and they would not understand), the easiest thing is describing what the lyrics are all about and how the intricate differences in the metal sects are diverging the original sense of the lyrics. We all agree that metal lyrics is about a knight slaying the dragon in order to save the princess, right? So, here goes the differences: HEAVY METAL: The knight comes in on his Harley, shoots the dragon down with a 44 magnum, guzzles a few brews and screws the princess SPEED METAL Knight-slays-dragon-screws-princess HARD ROCK Knight comes in Hawaiian shorts, tries to kill the dragon, but the princess completely disgusted, escapes and screws the dragon BLACK METAL Knight kills dragon, drinks his blood, sodomizes princess, drinks her blood and sacrifice both her and the dragon to Satan SYMPHONIC BLACK METAL Ditto but with more finesse HAIR METAL Knight arrive more worried about his airbrushing and colored nails, blows a rude kiss to the princess, gets eaten by dragon FOLK METAL Knight comes in with his troubadours friends, start singing to his true love’s eyes, dragon falls asleep, knight saves princess and marries her and has many kids Knights comes in dressed only with a garter belt, makes obscene gesture to dragon and gets himself thrown out by the castle’s security DEATH METAL Knights kills dragon, screws dragon, screws princess and kills princess BRUTAL DEATH METAL Knights kills dragon, screws dragon, kills princess and screws princess DOOM METAL Knight kills himself, dragon has double dinner portions ALTERNATIVE METAL Knight refuses to belong the system, tells the princess to f**k off, and leaves. VIKING METAL Knights slays dragon with double headed-axe and both hands, rips the heart out, and eats it, rapes the princess, burns the castle and returns to the drakkar with the gold and the wench. Rape, pillage and conquer GOTHIC METAL WITH FEMALE SINGER Female singer sings the dragon to her charms and puts him under a spell, steals the princess’s dress and throws her awayin the moat (pond around the castle walls), climb on the bed and waits for the band’s drummer to come in and save her PROGMETAL Knights come in, plays a 26 min guitar solo, bores the dragon to death and dragon kills himself in depression, Knights gets close to the princess's bed, rips out another 42 min guitar solo, but does not see the princess escaping with the Heavy Metal Knight ATHMOSPHERIC METAL Moon reflects off the scales of the skin of dragon on a clear cloudless night, Princess is at the balcony sighing and looking into the deep forest where birds are singing their love songs, Coockoo to you. No knights in sight. GLAM METAL Knights comes in dressed up like a faggot and full make-up, dragons dies laughing his heart away, knight steals the princess’s make up kit and proceeds to paint the castle pink GRIND METAL Knight comes in, yells for two minutes something not understood by anyone and leaves GORE METAL Knight slays dragon, rips out the bowels and other parts , spreads them around the castle, screws the princess, kills her, rips her body apart, screws the dead corpse, eats her heart out, burns the body and screws the dragon one last time before defecating on the remains of the princess NEO METAL Knight scared sh*tless by dragon, stays out of castle, makes rude gestures to princess and goes wank off in the forest TRUE BLACK METAL (Old Style) Knight comes completely wasted, heaves into dungeon, slays princess and proceeds to flirt with dragon TRUE BLACK METAL (New Style) Knight comes in, starts a debate with dragon on who is evil and who is not, kills the princess who dared intervene in the conversation and gets killed and eaten by the exasperated dragon. The last thing the dragon can agree with is being rough with women. Dragon maybe, but gentleman, certainly After this short guide, if your parents still do not understand after this, invite your local Gore Metal group for a demonstration. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Let's just say I translated it from French last night, adapted it to the Lordi situation, added a few styles (Symphonic Black Metal and Atmospheric metal).
but first time I read a similar list dates from a few years back (three or four at most)
I got another similar thing on the Blues, which I have to re-type and translate also.

I've seen something like this before on other websites. I'll take my best shot at what Pagan, Nu Metal, and Metalcore.
Pagan Metal
Knight prays to Thor puts on horned helmet and watches Thor shock the dragon and princess with a lighting bolt.
Nu Metal
Blows enough pot smoke out the dragon he looses his fire blowing skills and runs away, then rudely rapes princess.
Metalcore
Tries to copy every other knights style, but fails miserably leaving the princess to the dragon and runs away in his tight pants. -------------   "Mastodon sucks giant monkey balls." |

AVANT-METAL knight rides in to heavy music, but instead of slaying the dragon, attempts to confuse it with a clarinet solo. Princess becomes puzzled and bored, wanders off. NU-METAL Knight does it all for the nookie, what? the nookie. so stick it up your yeah. or Knight gets eaten by dragon, but not before whining about it and blaming the whole thing on his parents. METALCORE/EMOCORE Knight whines and screams about the Princess leaving him for a rich boy. Dragon laughs at Knight for being a watered-down, eye-shadow-wearing wannabe. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

You didn't include some important things: POWER METAL The mighty knight comes with his power and KiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIls the draaaaaaaaaaaaagon with his magic swooOoOoOoOoOoOOOOOOOOrd! He celebrates his victory full of power and eternal glory. THRASH METAL The frightened and angry knight doesn't look forward to wasting his life for such a stupid thing like fighting dragons. He gets killed and the princess is a bitch. It's very unfair that poor knights have to die, let alone die for f***** bitches. NEOCLASSICAL METAL Knighst? Dragons? F*** off!! I'm playing a very fast solo! BTW I'm the fastest guitarist in the world! -------------

Technical Metal
Knight slays dragon using 21 inch b*****d sword delivering 17 precise chops, slashing his bladder, left kidney, removing his abdomen, chopping up his small intestine and performing lobotomy in precisely 29 seconds, left handed. The mind of the princes cannot digest that much sheer perfection in half a minute.

Thanks for the support, James, but deaf mental? And whence comes all this roiling anger? (Gun owner too, eh? Poor local cacti!) Anyway, are you sure you like Death Metal? You might be thinking of the wrong sub-category, you know. Perhaps the aural excrement you've managed to convince yourself you "like" is in reality from one of the following, soon to appear here, sub-sub-genres: Plague, Pestilence, Fire and Famine Metal Nasty Genital Rash Metal (not to be confused with): Irritating Embarrassing Scrotal Itch Metal Clueless Amoral Degenerate Metal Useless Parasite Metal Long-haired Layabout Metal Stop Playing X Box and Smoking Dope All Day and GET A GODDAMN JOB Metal Absolute Aural Torture Metal Vee Haff Vays uff Making You Talk Metal Unhealty Obsession With Death and the Occult Metal Troubling History of Bedwetting, Hurting Small Animals and Lighting Fires Metal You're Killing Your Poor Mother Metal Frittering Your Life Away Metal Disappointment To Your Parents Metal How Can You Go Out in Public Looking Like That Metal Way-Too-Fast Guitar-W*nk Metal Popular With Twelve Year Old Boys Metal Longing for Your Lost Youth Metal Putting Off Growing Up and Getting On With It Metal Dutch Rub Metal Chinese Burn Metal Damned Good Hiding Metal Severe Beating Metal Bludgeon Into Unconsciousness But Stop Just Short of Killing Metal Fated to Overdose in a Squalid Stinking Hovel Metal Greasy Tatooed Stringy-Haired Freak Metal Christ -- I'm Forty Years Old, I've Got a Mullet, All My Shirts Have Skulls on Them, and I Still Ride the Bus Metal

Assuming you actually do derive some twisted gratification from the machine-gun fast, small-fuzzy-animal-slaying guitar, and the jackhammer drums, do you relate to the lyrics, or do you not much care about the words?

Yes, or even the more environmentally-friendly Alternate Energy Metal
 
Sub-sub-genres of this growing sub-genre include: Wind Farm Metal, Tidal Power Metal, Solar Power Metal, Fuel Cell Metal (still in development), Hamster Wheel Metal, Reduce Re-use and Recycle Metal and Garbage Metal (also known as Methane Metal, but not to be confused with the blatantly offensive Fart Metal)

Why thank you, Ko'L!
'Tis all in jest, of course -- it's healthy be able to laugh at ourselves, I think!
Now, don't tell any of my picky proghole pals here, or my rep is shot, but... I burned a copy of "Enter Sandman" a couple of years back and... I still dig it! Cool song!
 (Don't know what I was thinking with that silly "Du Hast" thing, though!)Still, I think metal in particular has a bewildering number of supposed categories. Why is that, I wonder?
 Is the need to so finely and hair-splittingly assign the music to so many narrow categories driven by the fans, the artists, or the music biz? (It's all just metal, to me.) Beyond the broadest "necessary" categories, I find all those delineations (and not just in metal, but that genre seems the most fractured, by far) to be rather silly, and even somewhat anal. Can anyone really (independently) tell where each band belongs? Do any two fans ever agree on all of those categories? Is it a symptom of our troubled, divided times? Is it a part of our primitive, inherent tribal instinct to errect "walls" and barriers, to say who belongs, and who does not -- the old "us and them?" Where music once united youth, does it now largely divide? Did the CIA, Mark the Shark and/or the Republican party/military-industrial complex instigate this "divide and conquer" conspiracy? Is the TRUTH out there? Does Maani know it?   Could it all (gasp!) be our list-mad Mike's fault?  Piddling, passing concerns of global warming, environmental disaster and the clash of cultures, economies and religions aside, these are the momentous, pressing issues that trouble me to no end -- nor am I alone, I see, in my abject, paralyzing confusion! 'Tis a veritable Tower o' Babel, I tell ye!  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Good to see you liked a metal song Peter .I actually agree with you about metal, its all to fractureed for its own good, and I havnt a clue why. As for catagorizing where bands go, this site is proof that no two people can agree on where all bands would go, its a shame that these genres actually do help to recommend similer bands to people, it would all be so much simpiler without them. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005 |

... but let's face it Peter, most Death-Core-I-Love-Satan's-Willy-Live-With-Mom-And-Have-No-Girlfriend-Metal just boils down to recycled 1969 Black Sabbath out-takes, played at 100 mph to hide the lack of any discernible talent.

You Swines! You damned hateful, spiteful swines! +++sob+++ Flounces out of room, melodramatically throwing feather boa over left shoulder of brand new risque (and deleriously fetching) cerise lamee party frock, trips over trailing end & falls face first into hi-fi unit, simultaneously scratching only copy of "Barbara Streisand Sings Opeth", squashing faithful pink dyed poodle "Foo-Foo" and breaking a nail... "AAaaaaaggghhhh! - my nails! my nails!" Runs frantically (yet still coquettishly...) for the bedroom, and the only comfort in these cruel times - his signed copy of Liza Minelli's magnum opus: "Cabaret For Proggers - The Pallas Years"... "Liza, Liza - nobody understands!" Dramatically throws arm over forehead for that tragic maiden look, misses balance & falls off bed, knocking over zircon encrusted combination bidet/commode/makeup bag, and lands legs akimbo with his head in the ashtray.
