Very cool. I'll have to spend some more time exploring this.
Not sure I agree with some of the progressions and categorizations, but it's not exactly an objective science.
Also, I can't remember if you've previously linked to it or not, but this seems somewhat inspired by Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music (http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/music.swf) - another handy resource.
There's a shorter map of metal in the awesome documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey". It's shown in all it's glory (albeit very quickly) here:

Also wikipedia has a less impressive (but more more easily readable) copy of it here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Metal_Genealogy.jpg

Also: This is actually a really good resource, but how has it not been sued to nothingness when it has all that music?
