Didn't know I enjoyed this kind of metal, but itls great. You got some more, friend?
There's another band called The Algorithm which is somewhat similar. Also try this playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7JbQnrznEs458ehyRr7d0L?si=...

That’s interesting. Somehow my brain never really put that together. He was obviously ripping heavy blues and innovated more than anyone before and arguably since. Thanks for adding him into my mental Metal flow chart. For me I would always say that somewhere between 68-71 metal was being cooked up by Black Sabbath in Birmingham, Motörhead in London, Pentagram in Virginia, and Blue Cheer in San Francisco. Obviously H…
I’d like to squeeze in the stooges there too, maybe mc5
Didn't expect to see something I made on HN while my wife is trying to find something to watch on TV. So about the site in case anyone is interested. I made it with a friend who was studying multimedia. He helped with the data and I did the coding. Took about a week or two. The site was originally Flash (remember that). But I ported it to HTML5 a few years ago. It still has those Flash vibes I think. Posted the code…
One disagreement: punk rock island should be a lot bigger in my opinion!
Garage and heavy metal definitely inspired the OG British punk rock scene, but they also inspired NY Dolls and Ramones (who formed specifically in response to the rising popularity of heavy metal, if memory serves), two massively influential bands that progenated several subgenres (pop-punk, which created Descendents, Green Day, Blink 182, etc; Ramones-core; melodic punk). DOA and Black Flag, both of whom are mentioned on the map, also helped inspire the whole Nardcore/West Coast thrash scene (RKL, DI, etc), which was happening, almost rebelliously, at the same time in the East Coast (Gang Green/Jerry's Kids, Proletariat, basically everyone on the "This is Boston, Not LA" album, which is fantastic and still holds up IMO).
I'm going to stop there because if I go any deeper, I'll have to start talking about emo, and that will for sure crash your map.
Anyway, metal is helping cleanse that part of my life; going to spend a lot of time going through the playlists in this map. :)
Thank you for making it!
No Opeth?
I've got a particular itch that's difficult to scratch, and I'm not seeing anything on this site that reflects the genre. I've heard it as 'metalstep' but I'm sure there are other names for it. Very aggressive cross between metal and EDM. More of a metal sensibility than hardcore EDM; more of an EDM / trance sensibility than, say, Fear Factory. The drum tracks have more of a death metal vibe to them. It's probably ea…

Nu Metal not having any Linkin Park songs is a crime.
Mike Shinoda is fine with not being classified as Nu Metal https://blabbermouth.net/news/linkin-parks-mike-shinoda-says...
> The popularity of nu metal came to a peak in 2001 with Linkin Park's diamond-selling debut album, Hybrid Theory.

m̈ëẗäl̈ üm̈l̈äüẗs̈ (awww, you can't put an umlaut on a space) (oh wow the HM font does not like what I just did. It looks fine in the monospace font)
Isn't the ¨ (U+00A8) character equivalent to an umlaut on a space? I suppose you used ◌̈ (U+0308).

This is absolutely incredible. I've gotten much more into metal this year; unfortunately this only further enables that! One disagreement: punk rock island should be a lot bigger in my opinion!

But this is a map of metal, not a map of music. If one were to draw a map of punk, metal would also just feature as a few small islands I gather, along with islands not mentioned here such as surf, reggae and hip hop.
