Doom metal is here, DOOM!!! I TELL YOU, DOOM!!!
Anyways doom metal is a form of extreme metal, that uses a slower tempo and has a "thicker" or "heavier" sound to it. Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.
I read that list five times, I know what speed, power, viking, doom, and death are, but not a damn clue about the others. I didn't see melodic death metal on the list so I had to work my brain to figure out if I knew anything in other subgenres.
Subgenres suck, I just vote metal aka all of the above. \m/
"I drive a big car, cuz I'm a big star. I'll make a big rock-and-roll hit." "I am a big car, and I'm a strip bar. Some call it fake, I call it good-as-it-gets."
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Alright, so that leaves us with alternative, nu, black, folk, pirate, fusion genres, glam, stoner, thrash and groove metal.
Alternative metal: Is a genre of heavy metal that gained popularity in the early 1990s. It crosses both alternative rock and metal.
Nu metal: Is a cross-genre that blends heavy metal elements with other styles including electronica, funk, glam rock, gothic rock, grunge, hardcore punk, hip hop, industrial rock and jazz.
Black metal: Is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal. It often employs fast tempos, shrieked vocals, highly distorted guitars played with tremolo picking in oftentimes droning or hypnotic patterns, and unconventional song structure. It places more emphasis on creating a specific atmosphere of dread or depression than death metal or thrash metal, something it shares with doom metal.
Folk metal: Developed in Europe during the 1990s. As the name suggests, the genre is a fusion of heavy metal with folk music.
Pirate metal: Metal about pirates, ARRR!!!
Fusion Genre: Another name is "cross genre" is a music genre which combines two or more genres. For example, rock and roll originally developed as a fusion of blues, gospel and country music.
Glam metal: Also called "hair metal", glam metal was as much a visual thing as well as musical. Glam metal artists adopted make up, long hair, accessories and flamboyant, gaudy clothes. Musically, glam metal songs are traditional heavy metal songs with pop-influenced catchy hooks and guitar riffs.
Stoner metal: It combines elements of psychedelic rock, blues-rock and doom metal. Stoner metal is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production.
Thrash metal: This genre is more aggressive compared to its relative, speed metal, and can be seen in part to be a reaction to the lighter, more widely acceptable sounds and themes of glam metal. Instrumentally its characterized by its fast tempo and aggression, the lyrics often deal with social issues using direct and denunciatory language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre. The "Big Four" bands of thrash metal are Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, who simultaneously created and popularized the genre in the early 1980s.
Groove metal: Sometimes called "post thrash" or "powergroove", it's pretty much sounds like thrash except for the guitar has a groovier sound to it.

Hey Shadow, I listened to both your songs now, I have to say the first one is suitably brutal and awesome. The second I don't quite like as much, but it sounds like a cross between folk and black metal.
I love my Industrial Metal. Any heavy head I introduce such music too fall in love with it. Think of it as very heavy guitar sounds mixed with electronic noise and samples. It really moves away from basic, everyday metal.
Some examples...
Ministry
NIN ("down the spiral" times)
Unit187
Front Line Assembly
...
My fav is The Birthday Massacre however they don't really fit under Metal. Some of their stuff is heavy, others more turned right down. Still, I love variety in a band. vid last below..

I respect Iron Maiden and Saxon however. But really this is the gak that gets me to school these days without just saying "feth" it and be a drug dealer.
Black and folk metal aren't part of the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" (or "new wave" metal as I like to call it ) because a) those genres aren't exclusive to England and b) they are not straight heavy metal.
Actually I made a mistake you don't have to be an English band to be part of "New Wave of British Metal", you just need to reject the "Blues" influences of "Traditional" heavy
metal, (ex. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath) incorporate elements of punk, increase your tempo, and adopt a "tougher" sound than "Traditional" metal.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

A fine selection there. The album that Silver Bride is off is one of my favourite albums.

Another fine choice here.
