| I listen to a lot of subgenres from power to thrash, but death/melodeath is where I spend most of my listening times. Three favorite bands are Amon Amarth(Melodeath/Viking Metal), Eluveitie(Melodic Death Folk Metal), and Crimson Shadows(Powered Death Metal). Crimson Shadows would probably be my favorite if they had more albums than 1. |

| It's my favourite genre As for metal subgenres, I listen to: heavy, power, melodic death, symphonic, folk and a little thrash, black and prog |
 |
The three main genres I listen to along with favorites from each are: Death Metal: Amon Amarth (viking-themed), Bolt Thrower, Cancer, Cannibal Corpse Folk Metal: Arkona, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow Thrash Metal: Exodus, Sodom, Testament I also like Black Metal, Power Metal, and oldschool Heavy Metal but I don't listen to them as much as those three above. |

FlakeyBear said: Too post-rock for my liking. I'm currently getting into pure sludge, not atmospheric. Ah, close enough. oh I wasn't sure what style of it you were looking for. So maybe stuff more like Crowbar or Black Tusk or possibly Dark Castle. Darekmhn1 said: It's down tuned and played slow but not as slow as Drone. It has a gloomy depressing sound to it which is why it's called doom metal. Black Sabbaths early stuff is what the sound was based on. Honestly never heard a doom metal song, it's just slow metal isn't it? Darekmhn1 said: Is it like post rock only heavier? Pretty much so the line between the two can be blurry. Listen to Year of No Light, Neurosis, Russian Circles. Darekmhn1 said: Would that qualify as post metal? Sounded like Post-Rock. Darekmhn1 said: ]Sludge? It's a fusion of Doom Metal and Hardcore Punk but a lot of bands fuse it with Post-Metal or Stoner Metal too. Yes Stoner Metal is a genre too, it's just Stoner Rock basically it's not much different. Darekmhn1 said: Do you like maybe rhapsody of fire? they kinda more power metal-ish but still Yeah but not listened to them much. Darekmhn1 said: Never really understood that umbrella term, it really seems just like longer 8-15 minutes songs that are something more than a typical verse+chorus+verse+chorus+solo+chorus type of songs. Progressive Metal just is well progressive metal. It progresses slowly building up more complexity or intensity. It's styled after progressive rock. Also the term "technical" is basically used kinda the same way so a technical death metal band might also be called progressive death metal by some people. Darekmhn1 said: Atmospheric Black Metal? Self explanatory. It has an atmospheric sound to it, more guitar distortion or ambient sound effects that give it a heavy feel. Drudkh is a good example. Darekmhn1 said: Depressive Suicidal Black Metal nah, you have to make that shit up, you can't be for real It's just to describe the lyrical content mostly since Black Metal traditionally is about Satanism and anti-religiousnes, more specifically annti-christianity so many other genres with different lyrical content use it in the genre name. Its usually shortened to DSBM. If you find that odd youd be shocked to hear National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) is a sub genre of black metal too. Darekmhn1 said: Post-Black Metal? Black metal + Post Rock or Shoegaze Darekmhn1 said: is it something like korpiklaani? or 90% of fairy tails soundtrack? Yes, Korpiklaani is folk metal. Pagan Metal overlaps with Folk Metal often too so the genres usually go to a lot of the same bands. Darekmhn1 said: Avant Garde Metal? Avant Garde just means highly experimental basically. So it's stuff that sounds unusual or artsy. It's just very non traditional. Darekmhn1 said: Is there any other industrial metal band than Rammstein? To be more accurate Rammstein belongs to a genre known as Neue Deutsche Härte (Trans: New German Hardness) which includes bands like Oomph!. There are plenty of Industrial Metal bands but not as many as there are Industrial Rock bands id say. Bands like Pain, KMFDM, and Ministry for example are some I like. Darekmhn1 said: dunno any gothic metal band Gothic Metal usually is just a way of describing aethetics and themes rather than a genre alone. So most Gothic Metal Bands are either Doom Metal or Symphonic Metal or something like that. The only uniquely identifying term ive seen associated with it is "beauty and the beast vocals". Which means a female with a pretty voice does clean vocals and harsh vocals are done by a male to create contrast. But not all bands called gothic metal have two vocalists or a female vocalist. |

| Metal is a very diverse genre, but I like most of it. |
| I listen to quite a variety of different genres but my personal favourite is definitely Hard Rock and metal in general. I'm actually going to Disturbed later this year and Killswitch Engage in March next year, gonna be awesome! \m/(-_-)\m/ |

traed said: I am into Doom Metal Post-Metal Sludge Symphonic Metal Progressive Metal "Djent" Atmospheric Black Metal Depressive Suicidal Black Metal Post-Black Metal Folk Metal Avant Garde Metal Industrial Metal Death Metal ( but Im selective on it mostly preferring it mixed with other genres) "Gothic" Metal ( I knkow it's ill defined and vague) Metalcore ( trve metalheads t-t-t-triggered ) I find Power Metal too cheesy most of the time so I'm usually not too into it even though I enjoy it on occasion. I'm not too big on Thrash either but I don't hate it. I can listen to any type of metal as long as it's not modern crapcore like Atilla and anything similar. I also don't particularly like anything that's too slow so i don't listen to Doom metal all that much. The faster the better, that's why i've been getting into "extreme metal". It's like a sub-category that includes Thrash, Death, Speed and Black metal with more aggressive sounds and much faster tempos. Something like Bal-Sagoth. Also i just can't handle DSBM. That shit's too abstract for me xD I'm more of a generic tharsh with sick riffs kind of guy. |

| @Darek I wanted to ask you what you thought of this kind of thrash |
♦ Anime List ♦ Manga List ♦ Friend Request ♦ Message Me ♦ DeviantArt ♦ |
| Yeah, I love metal and rock of all sorts~ I do believe this thread has been done before though. |
 |
| Yes. I'll listen to some 80's and early 90's trash, Industrial here and there, Power Metal here and there as well, a moderate amount of Progressive, ALOT of Nu-Metal, and a moderate amount of metalcore. |

| The past year I'm mainly into prog. I'm heavily listening to Karnivool, Haken, Between the Buried and Me, Uneven Structure, TesseracT, and lots of instrudjent. |
  |
| Used to be, the only metal bands I still listen to on a somewhat regular basis are Pantera and Dream Theater. |
Darek said: Listen to each song like twice while writing the response XD I like both of them and it's hard to say which one I like more, tbh I have no idea what you mean by "this kind of thrash", did you mean catchy? The first is really good I like the mix of faster thrash riffs with more classic metal ones also the bass is good. The second one I think I actually like more tho, it's mainly due to the chorus Late 80's pure thrash with higher pitched clean vocals(Overkill is not that clean but whatever) is what i meant. Also ahead of it's time when it comes to technicality. |

| Hell yeah, my entire life revolves around metal. My favorite bands are Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, and Death (no particular order, though Chuck is probably my favorite)... I listen to almost every genre and subgenre of metal except for that poser core crap. The genres that I like the most are thrash and death metal. Favorite metal albums: Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, Rust in Peace, Human, Scream Bloody Gore, Symbolic, The Number of the Beast, Abigail, Altars of Madness, Arise, Painkiller, Black Metal, Welcome to Hell, Ride the Lightning, Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?, So Far, So Good, So What!, Cowboys from Hell, Vulgar Display of Power, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Paranoid, Diary of a Madman, and so much more... |

| I only listen to power metal. I saw Blind Guardian live couple of weeks ago with Grave Digger opening. It was one of the best things! |
| Iron Maiden Black Sabbath Chimaira Mudvayne Kittie SOAD All That Remains Animals As Leaders Scale the Summit (got to visit Chris Letchford's house!!!) and many others that escape me at the moment.... I like many styles of music. I say it all the time, but I have some straight schizo taste. I dig all this metal but go crazy for The Smiths. Same as I liked Hellsing: Ultimate and am all "Oh man! Ichigo Mashimaro! Awesome!!!" XD |
 |
| Metal is the best music to listen to while running. Well metal and Knife Party. Doesn;t seem to be that many fans of metal here tbh, guess it and anime fans don't generally mix. |

| I wouldn't call myself a metalhead, but I do enjoy quite a few metal bands: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, In Flames, Ghost, BABYMETAL. Not the most original choices but there you go. |
| "I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with potential of a superman" - David Bowie |
| I'm a general music fan, so this certainly includes metal. My favorites would be: Gorguts, Opeth, Panopticon, Agalloch, Emperor, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and dare I say it, Rage Against the Machine Secondary favorites: Metallica, Vektor, Leviathan, Electric Wizard, Galneryus (thanks HxH), Moonsorrow, Behemoth, Death, Deathspell Omega, Carcass, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Deafheaven, Slayer, Darkspace, Nokturnal Mortum (Голос сталі is bonkers) There's still a lot of stuff that I need to explore, for example, I haven't been able to really get into a lot of slower-paced metal. |
| @Darek Did you change your userame or did I fuc up when I did quote editing before? This reminded me, isn't pantera a Sludge band 'cause now that I think about it, this term was applied to the them by someone Pantera was Glam/Heavy Metal then went into Groove Metal. So that would put them with bands like Exhorder, and White Zombie. Groove Metal is basically a slower Thrash. Awful genre name though. isn't early megadeth progressive metal? They did use progressive elements but they usually are categorized as something else. So that is sort of an opinion thing. Lol, but yeah explains some stuff There is also Orthodox Black Metal where they aree theistic satanists. Then there is Occult Black Metal which is mostlly occult spiritual themes. Then there is Pagan Black Metal which focuses on pagan gods. There is also something called Unblack metall or Christian Black Metal lol This is wrong on a few songs but... |
| Aside from death metal i like funeral doom, black metal, slam death metal and gore grind One of my favorite albums |
 |
| Massive fan of metal, especially melodeath. Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, to name a few. Been branching out into other melodic types of metal lately too, such as melodic folk metal (Ensiferum) and some atmospheric black metal bands (Shylmagoghnar, Eldamar). I'll give any metal a shot though; I'm somewhat broad reaching. Throwing this in to get it some more popularity. |

 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| I used to be a huge metal fan in my youth, but now I almost exclusively listen to Black Folk metal. I cannot do without the most satisfying feeling that is to relax on a good Moonsorrow track. |
| Im not sure i should respond to this, since a lot of metal fans hate MetalCore but i love a bunch of metalcore Examples Parkway Drive Amity Affliction Storm the sky(1st album) Beartooth Oceans Ate Alaska Those are some of my favorites |
| @Darek didn't know half of this existed Well not all of those are officially genres since some only have maybe two or three bands with such a style. lol, some of those names reminded me of this video: Sounds about right also math metal and pornogrind had me rolling on the ground, lol Their example was bad. Born of Osiris is Progressive Deathcore not Math Metal unless I missed the time signatures. Math Metal like Math Rock uses polyrhythmic time signatures. Math Metal often overlaps with Progressive metal bands that do Djent. Usually Mathcore is a much more prominent genre than Math Metal as there are at least several bands in this style and is better defined. Awful name though. Pornogrind is describing the porn samples and sexual lyrics used in a type of grindcore. |

| Jesus, all these intense metalheads here... black metal and power metal lol. I love all kinds of music but on my free time I generally listen to metal and DnB. My favorite sub-genre is nu-metal, I grew up with that 90's shit like Korn, Disturbed, Stabbing Westward, Linkin Park. Heavy, melodic, and groovy is what I'm into. |
 |
| I listen to only Black Metal (inc suicidal cut your wrists open and cry like a baby in the street for attention until the ambulance comes depressive metal, atmospheric black metal, but especially nazi metal), and pagan / viking / folk / beer / pirate metal for the most part. But a lot of it. Too many bands to just name but I'm not one of these elitist dickheads from metal archives or such that believes only bands with demo cassettes of 50 copies that mostly were given away to friends are trve. I hate them cunts. I will admit that dimmu borgir is cancer just the same. Oh BABYMETAL and Animetal are Gods. So is Dio. |
