[edit] Battle metal

Made up musical genre. This supposed 'genre' is a neoglism of bands from both the Power Metal, Black Metal and Death Metal genre. It draws no distinction between the bands, except to state that several bands from the genres all use themes akin to war, which is already stated in all three articles Here, Here, and Here. A scene doesnt exist for this supposed genre either, and the term is not in wide spread use. The only band that refers to themselfs this way is Bal-Sagoth, and that is in open mockery of the term. Delete and redirect to the Metal Music page, as this genre is Neoglism, Unsourced, Non-Existant and Advertisment. Leyasu 19:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
