Every Metal subgenre explained with guitar riffs. A bit of an ambitious endevour because I wrote every riff heard in this video (some sound more similar to real songs than others) and then lined them up semi-chronologically.
Mix and master done by myself too.

So what is your favorite Metal subgenre? And your favorite bands from said style.
Crust punk or to be specific metallic crust punk like Stenchcore
Black metal
A lot of deathcore lately, I re-visited Awaken the Dreamers by All Shall Perish recently and it's blowing my mind once again with what Chris Storey was able to do on guitar. Also a good bit of Through the Eyes of the Dead :)
mathcore! dep and converge!
The only real metal is nu metal
good list but kind of disappointed you didnt mention experimental blackened eastern mongolian folk avant garde stoner doom tbh
I knew I was missing something
@@jojoplaysmusic and such an obvious pick at that, shame
Heavy trip is such an underrated movie
suggest me a band for this genre :)))
@@cankatdx there's only one band and it has neither a name nor a coherent discography. the only way to listen to it is to accidently stumble upon a small abandoned village in mongolia that is not connected to any form of roads. in the middle, there's an old well, where one of the members accidently dropped his old radio that is miraculously playing their mixtape to this day and if you listen closely, you can hear it from the ground of the well. but do not try to go down this well and search for it, as nobody who ever tried this ever returned.
It's nice that you were able to fit an entire grindcore song into that 5 second riff sample.
What, it was only one song? I thought I heard at least 2-3.
Heh, I'm the 666 like
@@KasumiRINAI heard a whole album, what you talkin bout
Flashbacks of Napalm Death
This is both my favorite thing and biggest pet peeve about Grindcore, simultaneously, lmao
If funeral doom doesnt play on my funeral im not dying
Is there no reason to die then?
Your comment made me laugh so hard
I love how you described black metal with pterodactyl vocals. King Diamond definitely evokes a pterodactyl
I usually go with "ringwraith vocals".
Yes but heavy metal
Mercyful Fate/King Diamond is not black metal hahahahah
@@farenvyldCame here to say this. I’m glad you get to be the gatekeeping nerd instead of me. 😊
@@tylerpike1625 please look up the definition of gatekeeping before you make yourself look like a dumbass who throws around buzzwords
Pterodactyl vocals is the best description of black ever seen
Bro I died and it took me a while to come back I had to pause the video 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@rubemevangelista3868 It's good to hear you died. Dying is very kvlt. The only thing more trve than dying is getting stabbed by someone is self-defence. Next time, I guess...😁
Nazgûl
But peterodactyl vocals is a term used to describe very high-pitched inhale-screams. That's something you find in Deathcore, not Black Metal.
@@Bambuzzsprossewrong, you do find it on black metal
1:37
As a huge fan of grindcore, I'm happy and thankful that you played the entire song in those short 5 seconds. 😊
That was the extended version
that was the whole album
@@vochtigverleden3974That was the whole album.
You stole this comment
@@scoldedegg But of course. Everybody knows that the best content is the stolen content.
wait, no psychadelic german bratwurstcore?
😂
i get djent is overplayed but i think it’s overplayed because it’s so fun and sounds great, would’ve loved to see your idea of it
It's very, VERY, formulaic.
most bands are formulaic but there are exceptions. usually bands that aren't solely djent. frontierer, ion dissonance, aal, car bomb, danza, to name a few.
Djent? More like Djon’t. ✋
@@LinkopotamusPFFFF
@@machinismus 😂
It's impressive that you managed to make 8 full songs for the grindcore segment while all other genres only got a sample.
Muy bueno hombre.
It's funny how you're not even exaggerating here
Good joke. Really good.

@@LaceyArtemis if you want to look into Thall I recommend Vildhjarta and Humanity’s last breath. They are kinda the creators of the genre
ok but which ones of all these actually have lyirics and not screeching/screaming
@@LaceyArtemischeck out Vildhjarta and Humanity’s Last Breath. THALL.
3:27 - I lost my shit at "pipe organ required" 🤣great job with the video!
Definitely one of the best videos of this style I’ve ever seen. Riffs and backing tracks were extremely on point and it’s clear you tried to make every sub genre sound good and authentic down to aesthetic choices and taking the time to get accurate tones dialed in. And the backing tracks were actually listenable which is a huge feat in itself lmfao
The technical death metal riff sounded life it was pulled straight from a necrophagist album
That's quite the compliment. Thank you!
as a non metalhead who always tried to understand the different genres before, this is a really great explanation! and you are amazing at guitar!
As a metal fan, I still don't get half of them.
Just call them all Alternative metal and it's fine
They all sound the same to me.
Alternative metal is like that closet you throw all kinds of random stuff into promising yourself you're gonna sort it properly once you find the time, which most likely is never.
The undiscerning are easily mislead by misinformed
Don't know why this video took so long to get recommended to me, but this was SICK! Every riff was dope and very well represented.
Thank you!
I'm a HUGE fan of Atmospheric Black Metal and you really nailed the description.
I'm keeping this video in handy somewhere :)
not every riff is super original sounding(which is to be expected), but they actually sound perfectly fitting for the genres down to the tones, well done
The only thing, in life, that's original is life, itself.
@@Icemario87 bro ease on the shrooms lol
Hey cousin! How are ya doing?
@@aaaaaa2206 lol
"kinda evil" Excellent work describing the degree to which each genre is evil. Should there be some kind of agreed scale, like an SI unit of evil?
Goats per note
*Dead goats per note*
There, fixed that for you lol
5/6 goats time signature, 138 bpp (Beats per pentagram) GO!!!!
The scale of evilness is measured by amputated limps on stage, the smell of the singers clothes and the amount of pig heads that are on poles on stage
@@Orion-fx7wk that metric really only works for ritualistic expressions of evil... you need separate units for dramatic or theatrical evil, for which the specific unit is the Cruella
I have to say that a good metal song doesn’t need to have a specific genre to be good, All genres are extremely cool and beautiful in their own terms.
Except djent
The amplifier is fighting for his life
All those riffs were so fucking good.
HELL YEAH BROTHER
Thank you so much man!
thank you mr metal subgenre man
Someone needs to make an essentials playlist of these genres for us newbies
'every noise at once' does that
These three songs will cover everything you need to know about black metal and its different versions:
Darkthrone - Where cold winds blow
Mayhem - De mysteriis dom sathanas
Emperor - Ye entranceperium
They will pretty much show you the spectrum of filthy and uncomfortable all the way up to epic and beautiful. Happy listening and hail Satan!
@@johnzackarias11 Thanks! Isn't the whole satan worshipping thing just something news and parants were freaking out about? I thought it was just a fabricated stereotype.
There's a guy who made and entire encyclopedia for metal. Is in Spanish, but you can see the cover and titles of the recommended albums

So happy for you Jojo, this video is blowing the f up. Couldn't happen to a better content creator.
Rock Solid content, great chops, good polls, super awkward humor.
Thank you so much! These past few months have been crazy for my growth :)
Any guitar riff sounds as good as glam metal/hard Rock...
I love it! I just can't imagine how much effort for this. Keep up the good work!
Bro I was waiting for my favourite genre East Venezuelan Lo-fi Blackened Christian Frognoise, but it never came. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Ohh noooo 😩
And I wanted to hear welsh djazz crust.
@@coolmeisemeisenmann1416dude, djazz crust was last month, now it's all about djazz toast with crust cut off
@@16randomcharacters Okay, that's l
ife, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.
Conjo
you forgot to mention that swedish death metal has this kind of buzzsaw sound to it that regular/american death metal bands don't have
True true
Entombed my beloved ❤
The HM-2 pedal ‼️
I like when metal sounds like dueling chainsaws.
Early Florida Death Metal was mostly Marshall Valvestate or JCM with a boost/overdrive in front. Swedish Death metal started with the same amps but adopted the 5150 earlier. They also used the HM-2 a lot and the MT-2 on occasion. The thing to remember though is that you basically never hear pedal distortion alone, it's a multitracked mix of amp distortion and pedals.
Thank you! I really appreciated the music explained. I enjoyed the descriptions on screen. And great sense of humor too. Take care.
You’re probably asking why there is no DSBM in this video. The guitarist already killed himself, sadly :((
Pretty much :((
What was that band where the guy cut his Weiner off before recording vocals? That was a sick album lol
Edit: I remember now I think it was silencer
@@HexOmega3113 Idk where you heard that, but no. It was RUMORED that he self-harmed during vocal sessions to enhance the screams. But I feel like that was just made up to make Silencer look edgier than they already are. Besides, Silencer sucks, Bethlehem is way better, and not antisemitic :DD
@@wakingthegargoyle359 yeah man my comment was a joke really lol. That's the whole reason I said he cut his Weiner off instead of just cut himself lol.
@@HexOmega3113 Oh, ok. I’m dumb
As a fan of nu metal, I'm exploring outside from that subgenre after saw this video. It is amazing!
Check out opeths blackwater park for progressive death metal, check out belakors of breath and bone for some melodic death metal, check out deaths sound of perseverance for some cool riffs, check out fallujahs empyrean for some good technical deathmetal.suffocations liege of inveracity for some brutal death metal,
Also check out Abigor’s nachthymnen for some black metal, (might be hard to get into)
Industrial metal is the best for me. Creepy sounds, the sound of industrial stuff like pipes hitting the floor, haunting synths with badass riffs.
Honestly Nu Metal is just Groove Metal it just got misclassified, same thing with New Wave Of American Heavy Metal really being just Technical Groove Metal. Groove Metal is the hidden metal subgenre that keeps getting misclassified for lack of understanding. Out of curiosity though Im just wondering what your experimenting with like what are mixing with it?
@@juggernautnation369 I used to listen to death metal but once I got older, I'm kind of tired of that shit and need calmer kind of metal. Now it's more like progressive metal especially sleep token. But I'm still enjoying nu metal
I think it's been a year since I comment on a TH-cam video, but I need to do it this time: you are so talented and knowledgeable, you nailed down on every single one. Hope the best for you man, you really deserve it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this compilation, very well done! I'm off to watch part 2!
These riffs are fucking sick!!! Especially the Melodeath example... holy shit, how'd you get so good?
Also, the Djent example is perfection.
Idk I just move my hands until it sounds right
@@jojoplaysmusic LMAO
@@jojoplaysmusic average music theory fan vs. 'I just thought it sounded cool' enjoyer
@@jojoplaysmusic 😂 for real..you play for so many years it just comes natural. 🤘🤘
Yeah, and right after that he plays what is essentially a slow djent lmao
FINALLY SOMEONE APPRECIATED MATHCORE THANK YOU
I love Mathcore. Dillinger, PsyOpus, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You were some of my favorite bands for the longest time.
So beautiful yet so underappreciated
That riff used for Melodic Metalcore was insane!
Dude, I found your video by accident. You are one of the few who included Sludge and Atmospheric Black Metal instead of just adding yet-another-2000s mainstream subgenre. Sludge and Post Metal is so interesting for guitar-play nowadays. Here, take my thumb!
Dude, your joy as you played all the different genres was beautiful. Nice job.
especially the gent djenre
Djent is the only genre he didn't like, and hes right about it.
Nu Metal and Djent are awful, they still exists because of these Gen Z.
the stankface
Probably one of the best videos ive seen about comparing metal subgenres, the riffs and tone was on point for every. single. one of them. I'd love to see you do a part 2! Not as if there is a shortage of subgenres lol. The missing vocal examples are a shame though, I mean they are one of the genres most defining features.
Maybe I’ll try adding vocals to part 2. Thanks for the kind words too!
Agree! Pretty good examples to present the genres.
@@jojoplaysmusic good luck finding fair use metal vocals.
Probably would have to Collab with a TH-cam vocalist like the guy from 10 Second Songs Anthony or Leo Moracchioli from Frog Leap Studios.
@@kingzach74didn't you watch until the end? He does most of the vocal styles fairly well
grindcore was too generic
Your guitar skills are awe-inspiring
Thank you so much!
I love how this video provides a lot of information but is also a bit tongue in cheek.
Okay, that tapping at 2:55 was impressive!
Guitar tones for all of them were on point!!
I am the Tone Man, my tones are delicious.
@@jojoplaysmusic NiCE ego HAHAHA
@@markusaurelius777 bro actually calls himself marcus aurelius
@@jojoplaysmusicI like that!
@@jojoplaysmusic SPECIAL DELIVERY TODAY
A lot of talent showcased in a short amount of time. Loved the descriptions, couple of them had me laughing, all of them spot on. Looking forward to more videos from you in the future.
I am not familiar with metal but this definitely helped me understand at least the basic differences between them. Of course I still have a lot to learn but I know I will get there 😃
Metal suffers from the "must be special" syndrom. There is basically a subgenre for every single band.
@@andersjjensen Interesting 🤔
@@DJPastaYaY Well.. It was a half-truth and a half-joke. How much you want to read into it is up to you.
I love sludge/doom/funeral doom. I don't know many bands from those genres, I just toss on playlists because they're great to study to. Most of what I normally listen to is either some flavor of death metal or folk metal. Never been able to get into pterodactyl vocals
Here's a band for you: Obscure Sphinx
i really love Katatonia's Brave Murder Day. their first album is ok but Brave Murder Day great. after that they become heavy metal tho.
Acid mammoth is a greek doom metal band that I got hooked on. Start with Them!, then go to Tree of Woe.
Officium Triste, Mourning Beloveth, Doom:vs, Forest of Shadows, Draconian, Swallow the Sun, Shape of Despair, Ahab...
Some songs by Gian Squid I’d say fit into that
Would love to see a part 2, Symphonic metal needs to be added
done ;)
Good stuff buddy. Keep making videos!
That was so on point. Great job!
I love how for some of the examples, it's very obvious what band or riff inspired them; it's a great way to show it off, good stuff man
I fucking love your deadpan jargon delivery. Your genre descriptions are funny AF while also being legitimately informative. Also your guitar playing is legit 🤘
I think this is one of the best genre explanations I have seen on YT imho
This is epic. Super well done
Absolutely love the Thrash riff, sounds like a mix between HAVOK and Sodom
Thank you so much! That gallop part my “go-to” riff when trying gear.
I think it sounded exactly like a Municipal Waste riff
Love thrash 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude!!! I get my local radio station to play the song Napalm in the Morning about once a week. That whole album is excellent.
Reminded me of early Megadeth and Sepultura.
Fantastic man. This is so so so thorough.
i'm working on which style of rock i want to work on for my own stuff, so this video actually helps a lot.
This was excellent. I'm impressed by your understanding of the music and especially your talent. As an older guy who used to listen to heavier stuff a lot more often, I'll admit to being mostly clueless about which bands belonged to which genre. Too much for me to keep up with. Anyway, good video! Subscribed.
Watch his fingers do a little happy dance at 2:16
lol
🤘✊🤘✊🤘
I can't unsee it now holy shit 😂😂
this really helps clarify everything i've been listening too for so long thanks!!
Great demonstrations and great video!
You played well and expressed the character of these genres well.
Insane video mate!
No entiendo como es posible que una persona "mortal y común" pueda tocar todos estos subgeneros, explicarlos, y tener tiempo para grabar y editar un video tan bien hecho. Sigo sin entender los subgeneros del metal pero bueno, soy un simple mortal.
Love it. Very helpful at putting the correct names to the different types of metal.
Thank you YT algorithm for this man right here. Awesome video, guitars and comedy at it's finest. Great job dude!
Perfect explanation of every genre! My favourite is brutal death and slam, so Repudilation and Devourment! 🔥🔥🔥
cool name
@@lordofslam Same bro 🤘
I was literally going for the most generic sounding Devourment-esque riff for the Slam part lmao
@@jojoplaysmusic I really like your sound on death metal and subgenres of it. Still in my head is a part from one of your videos about brutal death riffs, Devourment - Autoerotic Asphyxiation the original is very boring when yours blows!
For a second I thought "Repudilation and Devourment" were supposed to be adjectives💀
"Pipe organ required." Hey, now. 🙂
It's impressive that you can write riffs that work in so many subgenres. Great video! 🤘🙂
Hahaha can we appreciate that he accurately recreated almost all the riff styles and also even got a cap on to play slam stuff? Haha respect, good video
I never thought I'd see someone playing an M-10 well. That is my second guitar, still with stock humbuckers, bought about 12 years ago for around $100.
Some of these riffs sound so good I want songs for each one! Especially Death Metal
Fantastic examples, great riffs. I'd like to hear full songs of at least 80% of those riffs... I will say that I was disappointed to not hear your take on djent, though.
DrRandomercam - Djender Djender Djender.
Dude, I LOVED this! Been a classic Metal fan for a while and this really helps people connect with the types of METAL they enjoy. Turns out I love Power Metal, Death (Swedish), Melodic. Keep doing what you're doing! Much love!
Outstanding video! You could have spent the rest of your life weeding through every sub-sub-sub genres. I think you did a killer job!!!
Perfect explanations, great for someone beginning their metal journey.
I'd say you covered basically everything, maybe Deathgrind could be added, as well as Symphonic Deathcore, but that's still enough
good thing I did a part 2 ;)
loving the grindcore, sludge, groove, and new wave american heavy metal riffs here
This, sir, is a masterpiece!
This was fantastic.. every genre there was a facial expression or emotion with it as well.
Thank you so much!
"They all sounded the same to me"- 🤓
Bro wtf
Are you my dad? 😂
@@frozenbride8203 Maybe i am. Turn off that crap of a music right now! 🤣
Jk. I love metal so much that I played metal with my band since i was in secondary school. Ethnic and metal music all day everyday
😅
Never get disappointed with your videos! :)
Dude!! That was some accurate stuff!! Well done!!
Thanks, this really cheered me up. :) Cool with the amp sims.
Now we need a similar video comparing genres with riffs but with the same amp so the differences are really noticeable
Awesome video. It feels like whenever someone does one of these they get doom and black completely wrong, but you nailed it.
Best video I've watched this year.
best way to explain it so far
Big point worth mentioning in NWOBHM is that they actually write songs in major keys!
Name one
@@QCLagstone Run to the Hills. It's in C major. Actually, you can chuck the entire Number of the Beast album.
Denim and Leather - Saxon - B Maj there's a bonus one.
Dude there's dsbm songs in major, I you're a good musician you don't need to be afraid of literally half of the key signatures out there
@@branlopgarThat explains why I dont like that album very much.
AWESOME video man . . . those riffs were sick! Liked how you described "pterodactyl vocals" for Black Metal! :)
Nice , Love the different style changes....Keep Rocking!!🎸🎼🥁🎸🎵🥁🎸
The descriptions were on point. I lost it on Progressive Metal
4/4 forbidden LOL
glad to see thall in there :)
great job!
Wow, this must’ve taken some time, I’m legitimately impressed at how well this was done 😂
Awesome video dude 👍👍👍
This was a very enjoyable video! Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching!
Shakespeare once said, "Brevity is the soul of wit"
So when it comes to Metal subgenres this video is genius and im fuckign idiot
I can be truly wise sometimes
Yo it's perg
I love your metal videos lol
bro the djent part is so danm good also good job on power metal
This is so cool and rlly helpful
I'm glad you liked it :)
thats a hell of work there! 🤘
Dude, tell me about it. I got it done in 5 days, so sleep wasn’t a thing for me at the time.
Good job 👍
Not much a of metalhead myself but I grew up listening to funk and blues type music... So I naturally gravitated to the groove metal and nu metal.
Lotsa Sevendust and Pantera in my playlists.
Deathcore and metalcore fan here. You helped me discover mathcore and thall. Tysm❤
Awesome job, Gotta say though couldn't help but notice the EZ-8 in the back, Nice
You play great bro!! ❤
Thank you! :)
Would have liked to hear your take on dissonant death metal, honestly. Your riffs were 👌🏻
