This is a map of combining all the terms people use for heavy metal music. Some of it is real, some of it doesn't exist yet.

I don't judge what's good, or metal,

I ask thee, what is the future of metal?

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-TnrOzaI2\_eKdM9sNadcsJ-rOLExTVy0&si=BQCqufuS7vVx3Qvf

And this is one of the songs of Chaos Metal

https://youtu.be/a5z_E8TCU14?si=YsvcB6OyOI1R1zWQ Purple is Discouraged Ones by Katatoniawhich I highly recommend ;)

17 years after the inception of djent, metal is deeply fragmented. Is what we got forward are dissonant, melodic, post-, or alt variations of these subgenres?

What do you think about Chaos Metal?

Guide Diagram of all metal subgenres and questions on future of the genre

An idea: All possible metal subgenres by word combos (in image. Think death Or black - melodic version, dissonant etc. Some exist, some dont, but thats all what we use to describe the genre) This uses math combinatorics to exhaust all genre names. Each block is a repeating set of microgenres for that subgenre Eventually, the genre hybrids of what exists (both pure like death doom, or unpure like industrial metal) are done. What then for metal? I offer in my music, chaos metal, the synthesis of the biggest extremes left, meshuggah and dsbm. Let me know your thoughts on it. https://youtu.be/JBvKj3CUqtc?si=Yj0NdDvIj0dW1rhk But ask, think would make the genre evolve, whats next for metal?

Avantdarke - for fans of Katatonia

Hello!

I dropped six metal albums, and I deeply, deeply love BMD.

I bring thee 3 pieces:

Avantdarke Metal

Abm

Sad rambling

Return to piano

Why? Cause BMD influenced me massively.

From my six albums, the first is quitw progressive, the second more heavy, third alternative, fourth inventive, sixth experimental - but the fifth, Madorei Gehenom, or the nine levels of hell, is my mental descent.

It's an album that gets more depressing as it advances through the stages of hell.

Avantdarke metal most represents my style

Sad rambling is closest I got to em

Abm I think you'd like most.

Return to piano too, its more prog black

I see BMD (also fan of the rest of their material), as intense masterpiece and throughout 10 hrs of music, a lot of it is black, progressive, experimental (tried to create 18 new subgenres), death, but also a lot is intense cause I just love them so much.

Please give it a shot.

Chaos Metal, Ragtime Black Metal - Avantdarke

Hi :)

I dropped six experimental metal albums in a month.

In them, I tried to create 18 new metal subgenres

Please try Ragtime Black Metal

The Flagship new subgenre is Chaos Metal, an attempt at a sixth extreme metal genre, which combines Meshuggah and Dsbm and takes influence from idm and trip hop.

If you aren't into black, I also got ambient death, bossa nova metal, techno metal, progressive death works, and more.

Beyond specific songs, my second album tries to be the heaviest metal album ever by being heavy in a different way each song, and the song Avantdarke metal is more representative of my style.

Thanks a lot!
