What genre's are there and what fits under what?

I mean yeah I know the basics.

But recently my friends brother has been telling me there's such a thing as "Speed Metal", which bands like Symphony X and Edguy would fit under. Quick, heavy, and symphonic metal. (the best) I could upload a sample song if you're interested in my prediction.

There's also nu metal, stuff like System of a Down and Korn. Which this entire genre in my opinion just sucks the big one. =)

Anyways, any other genre's out there that you know of and what they contain? Any clue on if Speed Metal truly is such a thing?

Yup, speed metal does exist. JAG PANZER!

Frankly, I'm going to say the best is technical or experimental thrash and doom metals. My Dying Bride, Sigh, Venom, Goathorn, Rammer...Such good bands.

Speed metal exists, yeah. You could say it was the precursor of thrash. But "symphonic" ain't much a characteristic...

There's all sorts of metal sub-genres, like industrial metal, black metal, death metal, doom metal, power metal, metalcore, etc. AMG actually gives fairly good descriptions of them.

Thanks for the link.

Doesn't surprise me that speed metal fits my likings, I'm a pretty big fan of thrash also. I'm not too big on death metal, power metal, and stuff like that, I'd rather be able to hear and understand what's being sung.

Seems like you guys know your stuff ... and Ziff I haven't heard of any of those bands you listed.

Any good speed metal recommendations?
