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…

I can say I noticed. I wondered if the site had been Flash.

Looks great! However I'm not sure how it is supposed to work. Like, should it play doom when I click doom? For me it started with Black Sabbath, and it doesn't change

Great map. There might be some categories missing, couldn't find any Katatonia, Agalloch, Alcest nor Tiamat. Alcest and some Deftones are considered blackgaze and Agalloch, Wolves in the Throne Room fall more into grey metal.

I see Tiamat at Goth Metal.

Very nice work of art. (I don't really like the bullets though, they don't seem very metal-y to me. Scythes maybe, or flensing knives.) It might be fun to have a sort of gazetteer for the map so we can find bands.

It's common enough that they are sold as an accessory. Search for "metal bullet belt".

I see you chose the superior version of 43% Burnt by Dillinger. It blows my mind that he never became the new vocalist.
