Brutal metal is just a name, and not reflective of it being one specific type of metal. Metal is metal no matter how soft or heavy.

I mean, Heavy harmonies is also just a name the encompasses various forms of hard rock. Doesn't mean all the bands featured have layered backing vocals etc. There has to be a cut off for everything. One site is metal the other is hard rock. Priest and Maiden are metal. Saxon I never classed as metal as their music was far more radio friendly. And Accept has stradled the line between genres. Especially when you think about the Eat the heat album. Nothing metal about that.

All the bands mentioned are metal bands imo. Even if they had a few songs or an album that was on the lighter side of things. It all comes down to each persons viewpoint as to what is heavy and what is not. I see the cut off line as blurred...

Damn that is good. Looks like I will have to buy at least 1 more cd this year....

I'd like to see 'The Cars' on HH...at their core a straight up rock band.

Agree on The Cars....

Never heard of The Datsuns before but after listening to several songs on YT, I don't hear punk, I hear rock so while I don't think punk should be on the site, The Datsuns sound like they should be here...Maybe my def of punk is dated? I think of bands like the Ramones and Black Flag as punk...

Yeah, that is not very good. If that is the best they can do these days then it's time to retire...
