Nice idea! love it, reminds me of the Metal Archives. btw Deathgrind should really be called Grindcore!!

Reminded me a bit on the design space of Metal logos: https://renecutura.eu/metalvis/

Looks great! However I'm not sure how it is supposed to work. Like, should it play doom when I click doom? For me it started with Black Sabbath, and it doesn't change

Very nice work of art. (I don't really like the bullets though, they don't seem very metal-y to me. Scythes maybe, or flensing knives.)

It might be fun to have a sort of gazetteer for the map so we can find bands.

It's common enough that they are sold as an accessory. Search for "metal bullet belt".

OK fair enough.

Not sure why there is Swedish death metal when Melodic Death exists.

Swedish death is a specific sound like Entombed, which is fairly different than melo-death bands like In Flames.

I'm not entirely sure why those specific song choices for the Swedish Death category. The older At The Gates albums are more like the original Swedish sound but Slaughter of the Soul (included in Swedish Death) is essentially THE Melo-death album.

Me too. Maybe someone can find a data source and vibe up a mapofmetals.com in the same style.

There is no need for anything else, on the Internet.

Very cool visual representation of metal history. I'm working on something similar for basketball history.
