I never really found them to be in any weird subgenre like that, their lyrical style is pretty similar to Rush or Black Sabbath if you ask me. Still one of the best bands of all time, up there in my top 3 along with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Too bad they’re only really known for about three songs.
