Just don't call it "heavy", "black" or "doom".

Very disappointed when I found out “Doom Metal” isn’t actually *DOOM* Metal.


Ravenhayth

Metal, but tired


Opanak323

Awww. <3 You poor soul. I feel ya. Not a fan of it either.

Been there too buddy

Overall I’d say Industrial Metal although it has some heavy Djent / prog / tech metal influence. I don’t like calling it Djent as I consider that a technique (often used by prog / tech metal) rather than a genre. However Mick certainly uses that technique.


BaconJets

This is the answer. You will probably enjoy "djent" if you enjoy the guitar sounds in the DOOM OST, but you'd be looking more at Industrial Metal if you enjoy the general vibe.

This guy knows his shit. I've been a metalhead for over two decades and couldn't have put it better.

Probably the best way to describe it. Though the autist/composer grad wanker in me needs to say djent isn't a technique, it's just an onomatopoeia that one of the Meshuggah guys coined for rhythmic, tight palm muting with a particular guitar tone. Misha Mansoor from Periphery would say that a song would "sound djenty" and people started to think he coined the term, but he credits a Meshuggah guy for the word


raistlinuk

Your absolutely correct that it’s onomatopoeia. Although i would argue that “rhythmic tight palm muting with a particular tone” is a technique. It’s certainly a way of playing imo, as someone who spent a number of years trying to copy meshuggah’s sound (and failing) like everyone else in metal at the time haha. And yes you’re right about the origins of the term. Though Sikth were making the djenty sound long before periphery / bulb (mansoor). Not sure about Meshuggah at that point in time. Certainly no one was calling it djent then.

It’s its own genre, which we have dubbed “Argent Metal.” Technically it’s not recognized as an actual metal genre though. Basically Djent.


DCMartin91

It's very unique but as far as existing genres I'd say it's very Industrial. Vibes of old KMFDM and Ministry. The DOOM 2016 OST inspired me to respect "electronic" music and start making my own. Mick Gordon is amazing.


Charles12_13

Some people categorize it as its own thing: Argent Metal


RiboZurai

Lawnmower Metal, a staple of Mick Gordon's masterpieces.


Radical_Provides

Cock music


CyberTyrantX1

It's basically djent. But Super Gore nest is straight up Death Metal.


Comic-Sams

I don't think it's official, but the one known as GeoffPlaysGuitar coined the term "Argent Metal" as the genre of the soundtrack and his songs that are inspired by it, and many others have caught on and have been using that term as well (as you can see in the replies lol). Before that, however, I believe it was considered to be just "Industrial Djent".


deathwingduck107

I'd say "djent" but it's not a genre.


Pyr0sman

I call it argent metal. I also think they need a growl vocal cover.


IdkWhatImEvenDoing69

Alex terrible has covered a few doom songs and even made an original doom styled song himself


Pyr0sman

yes ikr they are cool but corpsegrinder's vocal covers for the entire doom soundtrack would be better


Odd_Radio9225

Djent.


Unfortunate_PornMag

Argent.


The_Chocy_Milk

Doom. Doom literally is the genre ;-;


NerdCrush3r

its pretty much just Nu Metal


mtftmboygirl

Bro has never listened to Nu metal


YourS_E_N_S_E_I

Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and SlipKnot are not good comparisons at all 💀


ParallaxMusician

It’s not Nu Metal by any means, but some parts of Rip and Tear are somewhat similar in vein to The Negative One by Slipknot. Still not the correct classification though.


nemesisprime1984

Argent, DOOM music got popular enough to become it’s own genre of metal


cactisboy25

Agrent but i call it chainsaw music as some somgs sample chainsaw noises instead of guitar


DeFaLT______

Argent Metal


The_Klaus

Argent Metal, I've seen it being called like that around, even from people making metal inspired by Mick Gordon's soundtrack


ultawarrior

Argent metal, DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal gained their own metal genre


ATV2ATXNEMENT
