Metal critics are gaga for genre. Maybe this is useful when dealing with such a diverse group of bands. Or maybe, in the words of The Sword drummer Trivett Wingo, "You’re just blowing word vomit out of your anus." Today's bands have been described (roughly following the order of play) as crust, black, stoner, doom, drone, heavy, and folk. A useful taxonomy, or projectile ass-vomit? I'll let you decide. But for Lucifer's sake listen, because whatever the species, the genus is genius.
