Funk metal? Seriously?
I do love funk and I do love metal but frankly I doubt it could be any good.

Check this out http://www.metal-archives.com/
Even though I'm sure you are already aware of this site.

Then there is last.fm http://www.last.fm/tag/metal
You can go from there. I'm sure you can find something useful.

Found an article about funk metal on wiki.
I wouldn't consider most of those artists "metal" but found some interesting bands like Psychefunkapus, Faith No More.

Cheers.

P.S. I see you've listened to some grindcore but what about porngrind? :shifty:

[SelfMadeMMAn]

bands like
Rage Against the Machine
Faith No More
Living Colour
Mr. Bungle
KoЯn
Infectious Grooves
Snot
Fishbone

Just to name a few

There have always been loads of metal subgenres, but I've given up trying to decide what I like by subgenre. I simply try anything that is metal, because half the time the subgenres are either overly exclusive or just don't make sense.

Even Ozzy Osbourne who barely has a coherent thought anymore thinks all this unnecessary sub-classification is silly.

I don't generally analyze the genres that a particular album may fall under, but here are some favorites: Folk, dark ambient, downtempo, slowcore, post-punk, new wave, psychedelic rock.

The genre isn't really important. If I like it, I listen to it. Some songs you simply can't classify.
