Viking : Amon Amarth
Symphonic/Opera : Therion
Progresive : Dream Theater
Power : Sonata Arctica
Speed/Trash/Death : Children Of Bodom (they're the only ones playing like that anyways....)

[ProjectedBlack]

Here's my take:

Death: The Crown, Morbid Angel or Hate Eternal
Black: Emperor, Darkthrone or Mayhem
Power: Blind Guardian, Persuader, Evergrey or Brainstorm
Viking: Ensiferum, Finntroll or Turisas
Progressive: Into Eternity or Old Opeth
Thrash: Kreator or Old Slayer
Melodic Death: Nightrage
Rock'n'Roll/Speed Metal: Motorhead or Venom
Heavy: Iron Maiden
Gothic/Doom: Sentenced (or whatever the hell they're considered)
Various: Arcturus, Ulver or Zyklon (all kind've Black but multi-genered)

This list is mostly composed of what I'm listening to now so a good part of it will have changed by next week and I suck at singling bands out as being "the best".

[BlackMetalTyrant]

christ will you people get a fucking clue what doom fucking metal is

When it starts to fucking matter.

 

[ProjectedBlack]

christ will you people get a fucking clue what doom fucking metal is

Newer Sentenced has been called Doom Metal by many people, since I don't listen to Doom Metal I really wouldn't know any better, being that Metal is so cross-genred and sub-categorized, does it really fucking matter?

 

[Serrated]

Death: Nile
Thrash: Slayer
Technical Death: Necrophagist
Black: Dark Funeral
Classic: Megadeth
Progressive: Dream Theater
Shit: Slipknot

These are just my opinion on what i listen too... just like the other dude, they will change soon

 

[5thSeason]

Here's what I think :

Speed/Trash/Death : Children Of Bodom (they're the only ones playing like that anyways....)

:hotjump:

OH

MY

GOD

did this guy actually just classify children of fucking bodom as THRASH?!

I think i speak for every fan of thrash metal on the forums when i say this... please delete your account now, then go lay down in the street for a while (with your cob albums). Children of Bodom is NOT thrash... not even fucking CLOSE! That is a fucking INSULT to the genre!

Thrash bands:

Artillery
Blind Guardian (first two albums are thrash/speed)
Helloween (walls of jericho!!)
Death Angel
Exhorder
Heathen
Kreator
Nuclear Assault
Overkill
Sabbat (the Uk one... not the one from japan)
Whiplash
Testament
Sodom
Detente
Sentinel Beast
Znowhite
Destruction


the list goes on and on and on... but notice the LACK of children of bodom?

Newer Sentenced has been called Doom Metal by many people

All completely fucking clueless. Sentenced is to doom metal as AC/DC is to black metal.

 

[Erik]

Sabbat (the Uk one... not the one from japan)

Um ya, you might argue that Sabbat (JPN) is black metal, but they thrash pretty well, let me tell you.

 

[T.I.E.]

Black: Taake (or Deathspell Omega or late-Emperor)
Death: Death !!! (Zyknlon is cool too)
Doom: Candlemass (or Ozzy's BS)
Gothic: Paradise Lost (
Heavy: Iron Maiden (oher choices : Nevermore, Manowar, Saxon...)
Progressive: Opeth (or Queensrÿche)
Viking: Ensiferum (also Finntroll & Turisas)
Metalcore:Killswitch Engage (& Remembering Never, Reflux...)
Hard Rock: Thin Lizzy (also Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, King's X)
Math: Meshuggah (Sikth as n°2)
Indus: Kovenant (or Samael)
Thrash : Coroner (and Metallica for the US)
