| Metal is probably the kind of music with the most genres. (I may be wrong but at least there are a fucking lot of them). You are only allowed to vote for one genre so please vote for the one you like most and post the rest in this topic. If you like include some bands you like most and a reason why you like the genre or how you got to like the music. And remember: There is now false or true / good or bad metal so please don't flame or behave like some hip-hop kids (I say this cause I already saw it some times like that) Yes I know, that there is some stuff up there, which shouldn't be, but you'll have to bear with it, as MAL doesn't come with a method to delete the options, once added. This was just to get some general overview and start a topic to discuss this matter. |

| Black-, Death-, Powermetal i never heard christian-/whitemetal - what's this? |
| Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? (Enma Ai, Jigoku Shoujo) |
| That would be melo-death. Simply a lot of bands that i listen to can be put into that category somehow. |
     |
| Heh, death but black is up there. |
 |
| Since melodic death metal is up there shouldn't brutal and technical be up there also? |
|
| I gave my vote to Melodic Death Metal. Other favorites are Folk, Symphonic, and Black metal. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Progressive Metal is my favorite metal genre, period. |
| gonna have to be melodeath, all the way |
| Melodic Death xD |
| Symphonic! Then thrash, power and maybe metalcore. |
| Love Psychological? Join Pyschological Love =D  |
| (Melodic-)Death is probably my favorite, though Folk, Power and Prog come close too. |

| Power/Speed metal..But mainly power |
| wat |
Mathes said: Netforce said: Since melodic death metal is up there shouldn't brutal and technical be up there also? well melodeath is very popular and is quite different than usual death metal (and usual death metal is mosty the 'brutal death metal") Or am I wrong here? Brutal Death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yu_B2pnOJE Technical Death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZJC7vdqzRA&feature=related Goregrind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYL7wCgMsZg far more different than the trio od viking, pagan, and folk metal |
     |
| where is industrial-Metal? |
 |
| nu metal....disturbed...etc |
| DOOM. It's the way forward I tell you! Also like a dose of near enough every other genre there, with the exception of nu-metal (although I have no idea what this 'fun metal' is...) And yeah, I class christian metal to be bands such as Jacobs Dream, Lo-Ruhamah and near enough every band under the Bombworks Records label. Some of it is rather good, since all they're really doing is singing about the holy rather than the unholy, and its good either way. |
| White metal is the polar opposite of black metal. I've been into doom heavily lately, so thats what I voted for. Witchfinder General, Neurosis, Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Black Sabbath, Eyehategod, Weedeater, Electric Wizard, Reverend Bizarre, and a ton more. All bands that are doom. Of course, Eyehategod and Weedeater are sludge but sludge is just hardcore mixed with doom. |
 |
| ProgMeloDeathCore |
 |
| To me, progmelodeathcore just sounds like Between the Buried and Me and not much else =\. |
| technical avant-garde progressive drone doom\m/ |
| blah |
| Metalcore and melodic death metal for me. I dunno, I just like a really technical guitar and a good vocalist. These sub-genres tend to deliver on both aspects. |
   |
| gothic metal and ofcourse black, death, power,progressive, symphonic, melodic death metal |
| favorite is Sludge and Atmospheric Sludge, but the closest here would be post metal, so ill go with that xD |
|
| Changes every week but Death Metal (Bands like: Death, Morbid Angel, Vader) Progressive Metal (Bands like: Opeth, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Disillusion) Black Metal (Bands like: Emperor, Diabolical Masquerade, Summoning, Burzum, Mayhem) -edit- I'm idiot. Ildjarn belongs also in this list!! and Thrash Metal (Bands like: Sodom, Megadeth, Death Angel, Slayer) have always been close to my heart. |

| I don't know, I listen too much different genres to answer this. |
| for me, melo death and symphonic seem to be my favorites, though I like a little thrash and progressive as well. I'm somewhat new to metal, so I haven't found all that I like just yet. |
| I voted Funk-Metal, because I am totally in love with the band Rage Against the Machine, they are probably one of my favorite bands ever. If I could vote more than once I would have also voted for Industrial metal since my other favorite bands are Fear Factory and Static X. All of those genres of metal are good. |
| voted grindcore but if i want to be specific it's deathcore |
"Extreme Metal Music, for Extreme Metal Minds" |
| Melodeath is my favourite also like Death Prog Power Folk Doom and whatever combinations of those you can think of |
 |
| It seems everyone is really into Melodeth : O Im trying my best to get off of my streak of just listening to Power metal So my current favourtie genre is Folk~ Right now Ammy cant get enough of that Elvenking ~ |
     |
| POWER!! (i cant believe there's only 3 of us..) |
| I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head |
| christian metal is'nt really a kind of music style. it's just an umbrella term for bands that are christian. antestor is unblack metal,paramaecium is death/doom metal,sympathy is technical death metal |
| Black. Sigh Burzum Summoning Wolves in the Throne Room Xasthur Leviathan Negura Bunget Nachtmystium The Meads of Asphodel |
| Close call between tech and prog, but tech definitely comes out on top Favorite bands/albums are Gorod - Neurotripsicks Anata - The Infernal Depths of Hatred Cephalic Carnage - Exploiting Dysfunctions Atheist - Unquestionable Presence Death - Symbolic Lykathea Aflame - Elvenfris Gorguts - Obscura Demilich - Nespithe Cynic - Focus Quo Vadis - Defiant Imagination |
| I love Symphonic Metal. Symphonic metal includes bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation, right? |
| Melodic Death Metal has always been my favorite. In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At The Gates, Scar Symmetry - some of the best. :) |
Adam-Kun said: Melodic Death Metal has always been my favorite. In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At The Gates, Scar Symmetry - some of the best. :) Great, I have the similiar opinion espacially In Flames, I love them ^^ But At the Gates were great at Wakcen this year I also like Black Metal and Folk/Pagan Metal |
| Melodeath is by far my favorite |
 |
| I voted for Viking but i also like Folk, Pagan ,Black and Death |

| Forgivness is an empty promise! |
| Black Metal... because 'Black Metal ist Krieg' :D Uhm... then of course Folk metal, Melodic Death Metal and Goth Metal. |
     |
| What exactly is "post-metal"? A blend of metal and indie? To answer the poll. . .I don't think I have a favorite. At various times I get into various genres, but most of the time my fandom of any given genre boils down to one band (e.g. Blind Guardian, In Flames, Dissolution). |
| No technical metal? A bit of a tossup between progressive, doom, and death, with melodeath and metalcore at a close second. In other words, I honestly don't know. jparagons said: What exactly is "post-metal"? A blend of metal and indie? Think Isis, Mouth of the Architect, Cult of Luna, The Ocean, etc. |
| deathcore,melodic death,metalcore,thrash but metalcore is my fav b/c its totally BRUTAL!!! |
xxmachineshopxx said: but metalcore is my fav b/c its totally BRUTAL!!! Noise is totally brutal. >:) |
| Progressive Metal, by a landslide. Because over-the-top composition, 343/65464534 time signatures, lightspeed solos, and 45 minute songs are awesome. Some of my favourite bands: Dream Theater Fates Warning Spastic Ink Andromeda Symphony X Into Eternity Gordian Knot Opeth Annihilator Watchtower etc.etc.etc. I could go on forever. |
| We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other. |
