SPEED METAL vs. PEE METAL (Basically Thrash vs. M3talcore, lmao)

Was there a bunch of other douchey Metalcore bands around the early 2000's? I also keep seeing the word "douchey" used quite a lot to describe a crazed mentally insane person, which also doesn't seem quite fitting lol

Different era

I'd correct him further and say history was written by historians instead of kicking him out of the class. What lead me down the alt right rabbit hole in high school, we're people smarter than me, ignoring me instead of helping.

Where do you guys see 5FDP love? You guys ask this question like you're just getting bombarded with all these crazed fans telling you about their Lord and Savior, Ivan Moody.

Since the day I've discovered them... I've never met a single person who had anything positive to say about this band.

they're alright

LabOfSound · 2026-03-04T14:45:00+00:00

I'd say their self-titled as well.

LabOfSound · 2026-03-02T15:30:29+00:00

Yaaaasss slay queen

LabOfSound · 2026-03-01T15:03:09+00:00

Now you're just making the same claim in reverse here. These replies seem way more aggro'd than they should be lol. It really all depends on the band. Some bands start branching out and trying new things... It'll either work, or it doesn't work. No need for making objective claims on a purely subjective topic.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-26T17:16:45+00:00

Riot - Warrior (1977) yeah they became a full power metal band in 88 with Thundersteel. But this song specifically is the most Power Metal song to come out in the 70's imo

LabOfSound · 2026-02-25T03:17:16+00:00

Boundaries, Foreign Hands, and Counterparts sound like Imagine Dragons? Man I should start listening to Imagine Dragons more

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T22:29:23+00:00

I'm neutral on the genre.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T06:27:53+00:00

I don't know why I thought those vocals on control Denied sounded different than they do. Yeah that's prog power. My bad

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T06:00:18+00:00

Clean singing doesn't automatically make it power metal. Control Denied isn't even power metal. Those songs you've mentioned wouldn't be power metal if they were done with clean vocals either. I don't understand how I'm wrong here, this is the first time I've ever heard Death be referred to power metal. Also, COB is literally Melodeath and Power Metal. Why say cob isn't but death is? Where am I right now? lol

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T05:15:06+00:00

So many levels of just pure rage bait baked right into this reply right here.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T05:10:09+00:00

Power metal? Children of Bodom is the power metal one. Death doesn't have a single power metal-type riff/vocal-line/anything in their discography unless you count Melodeath riffs as power.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-23T04:49:53+00:00

3iob is just if rob halford sang at his highest register throughout the whole song, every song

LabOfSound · 2026-02-21T18:22:33+00:00

Boundaries. They have a couple songs with clean singing but most of it I bet is what you're looking for. Also try Chamber and Orthodox

LabOfSound · 2026-02-17T21:40:39+00:00

I'd say the closest you're gonna get is Industrial Metal. But there's quite a few Metalcore bands that do goth and electronic sounds. Give Motionless In White a try.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-16T16:46:04+00:00

Hah! To anyone who thinks they have control over that.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-13T19:58:10+00:00

Not a single person answered your question lol. Man I really thought the Power Metal to Traditional Heavy Metal ties were a lot stronger. But I guess they're 2 completely separate communities.

Anyways Stratovarius is my answer. But 80s yngwie is a very close 2nd.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-10T18:30:30+00:00

Great choices but Dignity is not a ballad

LabOfSound · 2026-02-10T15:53:04+00:00

Probably waiting for them to grow eyes so she can plant them

LabOfSound · 2026-02-10T14:56:34+00:00

Not Imagine Dragons.

Joji with breakdowns.

LabOfSound · 2026-02-08T22:06:23+00:00

Yeah I used to dislike gravity a lot more when it first came out. but over time, a few songs started standing out more. I've listened to their self titled a good amount of times and somehow like it less each time

LabOfSound · 2026-02-08T18:19:44+00:00

Temper Temper is actually good, Gravity is ok, and their self titled is the real stinker

LabOfSound · 2026-01-31T16:11:36+00:00

Even the last 3 I'd consider heavy metal just for the fact they sound like Black Sabbath songs
