Too many people get confused over what the different subgenres of metal are, this video shows the difference between 9 of the more predominant styles of metal, Heavy, Power, Thrash, Black, Death, Doom, Progressive, Folk and Symphonic Metal.

... yes there are more subgenres than that, but they are usually more or less spawn from the genres in the video, The 9 main genres of Metal.

    Before you ask, why is 'x' band here/not here, i did not make the images. Also, yes, Metallica is in Thrash, just look harder before complaining.
  • @IVAN3DX
    The heavier, the less legible the band logo
  • @tonypayson8306
    You know you're getting deeper into the subgenre when the name of the band gets harder to read.
  • @Isakbruford
    All of the symphonic metal logos look like mobile RPG logos
  • I find it funny how you can read most of the band names... until you see the black metal names
  • @mcuniboob5751
    My favourite part about this is the sheer amount of bands that I’ve never even heard of

  • @UhgeneIgnorian
    Folk metal sounds like some leprechaun on an adventure to find his pot of gold.
  • @spoon3473

  • @themetalist1893
    The collision of these logos almost looks like a wall of tattoos
  • @haymjack
