metal is an incredibly varied genre At one point when I was young, and hence rather an idiot in some ways, I used to think this was just for metal (and of course I considered all other music utter crap). Later I found out not only metal is varied (d'uh) and everytime I think I've heard all styles in some genre or subgenre of music I find something which doesn't really seem to resemble anything else, then look it up just to find out someone gave the style a name already, or labelled it as a mix of some other styles. E.g. these days I'm (re)discovering the more underground electronic hardcore scene and even there it's amazing how many variety there can be with what is basically the same kickdrum and bassline which started the whole thing all over again. I don't think I'd be able to distinguish Black Metal from Death Metal. depends, compare Dimmu Borgir's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant with Death's The Sound Of Perseverance or so, should give you an idea
