Here's the metal sub-genres I can think of:

death metal (Cannibal Corpse)
power metal (Blind Guardian)
grindcore (some consider it synonymous with death metal)
speed metal (I consider this synonymous with "thrash metal")
black metal
gothic metal (much of what is called bllack metal these days should really be goth metal or just plain goth)
hair metal (80s top 40 shit)
groove metal
nu-metal (i.e. false metal)
heavy metal (generic term more appropriate for older stuff)

There's more too but those are the ones that come to mind. - Fri, 9 May 2003 8:35pm
