So if True Metal (tm) doesn't mix genres, why do you consider Nightwish as true metal?
Or even metal. I can't remember it have been heavy for...what? Last fives years at least.
There's so much of different types of heavy/metal I see a need for more spesific cathegories.
I consider
metal as one of the sub genres of heavy music. I usually refer music to metal if it's heavy and somehow emphasized in rhythm and bass section (prolly the same thing you refer to
nu-metal. Rap-metal is a term I haven't heard of), such as Korn or System Of A Down for example. '
Hair metal' would prolly consist of genres I call
heavy-, glam- or hard rock.
I do listen to heavy/metal quite regularly, and when I'm visiting night clubs they are mostly heavy bars. Good bands have been listed here, but I'd like to mention
W.A.S.P. My all time favorite.
