What Metal Genre do you prefer most?
| This week, my favorite Metal Genre is Death Doom and Funeral Doom :D |
metallian said: Yeah, I know. I was referring to NWOBHM separately. So yeah, I'd say Traditional Metal for my favorite. It's a great genre, very underappreciated, that's for sure. |
| We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other. |
| 1. Folk Metal - In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul, Subway to Sally,.. 2. Symphonic Metal - Nightwish, Tristania 4. Industrial Metal - Deathstars 5. Power Metal - Avantasia, Sonata Arctica 6. Melodic Death Metal - Norther 6. Nu Metal - Disturbed, Dope, KoRn 7. all the rest not much but a love/like them |
| I fail to understand how is Deathstars Industrial Metal or Disturbed Nu Metal. Since both really fall inside the rock music bandwagon. Deathstars really don't have anything Industrial in their music either. I'm not even going to say anything about how metal Nu Metal really is cause it's pointless. |
| In my case it`s thrash till death! (Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Kreator etc.) |
| I'm interested in hearing your definitions of alternative metal. How in the world do you coin being alternative? Does it apply to bands that are hard to classify, or is it a tag used with bands that have "sold out" and gone "alternative", dumbing down their sound? (Nu Flames comes to mind first, although I don't really hate their new material with a passion). If I'm completely lost with this one - please, enlighten me. At any rate, it sounds like a really vague definition to me.. Also, post-metal. Isn't post-metal a meta-definition that could apply to, say, thrash, black or pretty much any genre out there? In case post-metal in this case means bands like Isis, then that's a somewhat valid tag, I guess. Still, all these post-black metal and other tags sound so lame to me. Anyways, if you are going with the meta-tags, then why not put "Avant-garde" up there as well? And while I'm at it, what exactly is "fun metal"? I did read the OP, but regardless of being fun as fuck, Spinal Tap are still a trad metal band. I guess fun metal is a cool way of putting it, though. That is all, I guess. Well, there's still Nu-, but that's too obvious and boring to mention by now. Oh and to answer the question: pretty much everything goes, quality is what matters. But I guess I tend to listen to thrash the most, when in the metal-mood. Or alternatively, some pretty cheesy (yet awesome) power metal bands like Machinae Supremacy. To be honest, the amount of metal I listen to has gradually decreased during the past few years, although I still need my daily metal fix... Wow, what a fucking tl;dr. |

| Power Metal and Progressive Metal is my favorite but i like thrash and others too. |
| I listen any genre(whatever I want to listen at that time), but it's obvius that my genre is "Melodic Death Metal" especially Swedish Death Metal. Apart from the list above, Florida Death or Technical Death are also the genres I like. (Morbid Angel, Death, Atheist, Pestilence, Carcass etc) And one impotant point: "Amon Amarth" isn't a Viking Metal band. The Viking Metal side is valid only for the lyrics. They perform Swedish Death Metal. If you say Viking Metal; Enslaved, Thyrfing, Månegarm, Einherjer or sth like these must be mentioned. |

| From rivers of sorrow To oceans deep with hope I have travelled them |
Someother bands that I like are : Opeth (progressive metal) , Katatonia (doom/progressive metal) , Rammstein (Industrial metal) I won't care posting the bands that are so called Nu metal since they are more like hard rock / Altern rock :D |
 |
| Death Metal. Can't go wrong with Gorguts, Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Hypocrisy, Suffocation, Morbid Angel, and Death. |
| I'm back. |
ixMxMxi said: I love thrash the most - especially Metallica & Megadeth. Also, not mentioned in the poll, simply Heavy Metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. As far as I know Iron Maiden is classified as "progressive metal"... And for Sabbath I wouldn`t know.. |
| Melodic Death. :) |
| Mainly thrash metal, secondly melodic death metal. |
 |
| Melodic Death Metal. Been obsessed with it lately. Had this been 3 months ago, I'd say power metal. |
| Melodic Death and Gothic. I voted for Gothic metal because of Paradise Lost. I dislike female-vocalist Gothic bands but I love male-vocalist like Paradise Lost and Tiamat. |
| my favs are metalcore melo death and deathcore |
| Melo Death & Metalcore... ^_^ |

Nijo said: As far as I know Iron Maiden is classified as "progressive metal"... Except not. Traditional Heavy Metal/Proto-Power Metal fits Iron Maiden perfectly. |
| We're all awash in a sea of blood, and the least we can do is wave to each other. |
| Anybody know how to report a broken thread? I'll say what I said before. Why is nu metal on the list when it's not metal at all? |
Cheesebaron said: Progressive Metal is my favorite metal genre, period. You have won this thread. |

Yep, I think you mean Soad, Serj and Scars, am I sure ? Maybe they're not metal, but i like them. And Soad was my first "heavier" band. |

| WHAT!? Fun metal, what is that? I'd go for Symphonic metal. |
vasa said: I'm with you there.Symphonic and Gothic Metal undeniably. ( Within Temptation and stuff) I also absolutely love power metal, and to a lesser extent, melodeath, progressive and nu metal. |
| Now for some death metal bands I'm enjoying lately: Vader, Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Atheist, Pestilence, Deicide Well I think that's it pretty much... Oh shit I forgot Nile, only technical death which doesn't give me headaches... And I know I'm n00b and old-school but that's the best school :D |
| The poll reveals that 3 people don't know what metal is. |
Drunk_Samurai said: The poll reveals that 3 people don't know what metal is. Doom metal 3 2.27% ? |
Karppaky said: Drunk_Samurai said: The poll reveals that 3 people don't know what metal is. Doom metal 3 2.27% ? Nu metal. |
Unhallowed said: I'd make that seven. Metalcore is hardly metal. Well yes but you could make it 9 by throwing in Grindgore. |
| Almost all of us are trve as Hell from which we came har har har |
| Nu Metal is more trve than Black, Death and Thrash Metal Just found Korn and Deftones couple of days ago, fucking killer stuff! |
