Lysander said:Slipknot is generally categorised as Nu-Metal, which isn't an accepted form of metal.
This thread has shown an interesting thing though, that a lot of people think they know what death metal is when that's not the case. No-one has mentioned a death metal band so far.
It doesn't really matter though, it's all dislikeable if you dislike it!
EDIT - Amon Amarth.. now that's more like it![]()
slipknot? nu-metal? complete horlicks.
aside from the fact that their first album had incubus-style funk guitars, the second (self-titled) album was death-metal-by-the-numbers-with-bleepy-bits.
do you even know what nu-metal is?
woody - at the gates were closer to thrash than death.
