This is taxonomy I can get behind

From that compendium of wonderful things, boing boing, we find this:

Metal Taxonomy

My current favorite metal band, Amon Amarth is not on this flowchart, but I imagine it would be under “Foriegn Sounding” under a new bubble for “Invented Languages” or “Elvish.” Clicky on the pic for the flowchart in its full, uh, flowcharty glory.

    Inclusion of non-metal acts in this chart renders the whole enterprise faulty. Def Leppard? Faith No More? IRON BUTTERFLY?! C’mon, man.

    [...] Heavy Metal band name taxonomy Cool. And don’t forget the Heavy Metal Band Name Generator I’m thinking of using “Nordic Koala” if Murdoc starts a metal band…though “Gore Hound” has a lot going for it, too. [...]
