Noise Metal (Second Nomination)
Non Existant genre. After researching, only 3 of the bands on the list actually exist. The genre directly copies the Thrash Metal and Grindcore articles, except for picking and choosing aspects to remove from each, something like a childs game of Mix And Match. The bands that do exist also have non of the traits on the supposed genre has. List of heavy metal genres nor heavy metal music makes any mention of it at all. Seems like another article in a long list of made up genres to glorify one or two paticular bands. Ley Shade 19:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Information that is correct, if not well known!
 * KEEP per nom. A poorly made article, but not completely wrong. But this genre is not often referred to as "Noise metal", usually either being called Noisecore or just lumping it in with Noise music. It is a new, emerging genre which doesn't have many bands. The creator does seem to toot the mastodon horn quite a bit in this article, but thats because mastodon is a band plently of people have heard of. After searching for the mentioned bands I found that most of these bands DO exist, they are just very obscure and underground. "real" bands that creator mentioned: Mastodon, Sielwolf, Anal Pope, Pterodactyls, Alchemy/Manifest, Humanzee, Plastic Dragon, Amentia, Halaka, and Faizan Qamar are ALL real bands. as for the others, I am not sure. look through MySpace, and http://www.dmusic.com/. You will find the bands i have mentioned above. It is wrong to delete


 * Leave It should be noted that most bands of this type are Inde bands, that don't hold many elements of genres with noise and Rock/metal as the two main genres.
