 Topic: Potential for experimentationPosted: 13 Sep 2012 at 8:47am |

As the last decade abounded with eclectic death and black metal bands creating countless combinations of genres, I have the following question:
Which of these two sub-genres of extreme metal has bigger potential for experimentation with genres outside the metal one (e.g. jazz, folk, classical, psychedelic rock, post-rock)?

The 3rd option!

I just had a little thought that maybe black metal is just easier to combine with other genres and doesn't necessarily have bigger potential. Bands like Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Nile [isn't it fucking egyptian death metal?], Cynic and others are proof that death metal can be eclectic and quite successful at the same time. There's more eclectic black metal bands, obviously [hordes of ambient, shoegaze, folk, post, avant-garde bm], but maybe it's just because it's easier to... well, play, actually  All in all, I chose the 3rd option too.

It's difficult to me for think in a death metal/post rock band, but there's many death metal bands blending their sound with jazz, for example.

About the closest thing I've heard is the song En/Soph by Vaura. That riff at 2:55 is crushing. That being said, the rest of the album probably has more black metal than death metal influence Edited by Triceratopsoil - 17 Oct 2012 at 6:03pm |

...And vice versa. Lots of post-black metal bands out there. |
