Metal

The guitar work doesn't seem very black metal like. Black metal musically has it's roots in hardcore punk. You almost seem like a doom band to be honest. It sounds heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and your vocalist follows the instrumental melody a little to closely for black metal.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean. This whole Nu-Metal... just not my thing. It's terrible here in the states.

There are a few good bands that are lumped in this category, though IMO. Such as the Deftones, Tool, and some SOAD. I do in fact dislike the majority of it and think it is devoid of skill and talent.

My favorite metal band is Opeth, and Ulver. Ulver is not metal anymore, however, and is now experimental. Still good.

Ulver is neat.

When have Tool ever been considered nu-metal?

Nu-metal is not a legitimate genre. If it were you could define it. You can't, therefore it's blanket term for stuff people can't define and thus lump many bands in it that are nothing alike.

Not that different to most genres really. People just like to categorise.

When they are mis-categorized

Exactly the answer to the question I was posed with. Whenever idiots categorize something that it's not.

I'm personally not the biggest fan of Tool, but aren't they more industrial?

Hahaha, no. Nothing like.

They're a hard rock/metal band. Either/or, in my opinion.

The song "Die Eier Von Satan" was industrial. But I wouldn't consider that an actual song of theirs.

I agree with AC on his categorizations of Tool. I personally like to classify them a progresseive rock band.

I see. I've only heard a couple songs, t'was a guess, myah. hmm

True, though some aren't that bad. Nu-metal is absolutely devoid of meaning compared to a lot of them.

Yeah, but better than others.

No, rock with progressive elements.
