you know, pantera had their original heavy guitar riffs which made groove metal (basically), Korn made Nu-metal (which most of it sucks), and The big four of Thrash Made well, Thrash metal
one day, i want to be in a famous metal band and maybe start a new metal genre.
so what could i do to be original?
i thought of making a death metal Harmonica, what are all your ideas?
Naked metal? your band can go on stage bare asss
Sorry, i think most ideas of starting a metal genre (in your case it sounds like fusion) falls now into what we call ‘Avant-Garde Metal’ (bands like Sigh, Arcturus, UneXpect). Unless you can come up with something crazier and more innovative than what there already is than you’ve got a challenge ahead of you. Also just because you founded a genre doesn’t always make you famous right away. Bands like Hellhammer and Thergothon broke-up before being famous.
Yeah I agree it wouldn’t be original if someone told you about it.
Although I would suggest listening to different genres like Jazz or Reggae and then develop your sound from there. Don’t try to be different just for the sake of being one because you’ll sound fake and uninspired.
If you don’t believe me then listen to bands like the Clash who incorporated reggae, pop, and punk into their repertoire of songs and they sound awesome. Besides a lot of those bands that invented their own genre of metal were influenced by different kinds of musical artists that came before them so definitely take notice of the great music of the past.
You could make a genre called “Ol-Metal”
It parodies Nu-Metal.
Avant-garde death metal/jazz fusion.
electric harpsichord
lol if youre trying to be original shouldnt you think of it yourself lol?
