The list isn't limited to classic heavy metal (e.g. Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, etc.), because it obviously includes some of the music's most extreme subgenres. Heck, Napalm Death is arguably the least metal of any band listed.


I agree, overall. I'm not as familiar with some of the international acts - admittedly competely ignorant of Napalm Death, Carcass and a couple of others - I was just basing it on my gut check - Lamb of God - versus Slayer/Morbid Angel - heck even Metallica/Megadeath - I just get a cognitive dissonance.

But, Tool wouldn't belong on this list, either, as they defy "genrezation" as, perhaps does Lamb of God (and, e.g. Machine Head). "Groove metal" doesn't even make sense to me - I'm so old.

No Diamond Head? That seems like a large oversight.

I can see Killing Joke not qualifying as metal, but I would've had them on the list. I'm not a big enough metal fan to quibble with the rest of the list, but those two were the metal bands I'd add.
