[manuelgv]

any kind of meaningful metal
if the lyrics have a point and make sense
if the music makes the lyrics work great
then I like it
no matter what

I don't want to tell you my favorite genres in order, I just want to say my favorite genre, and that's...

DEATH METAL!

there's nothing better than this

In order:

1) DOOM
2) Everything else

To summarise: I like all genres, so long as the music is good. But doom takes prority

Anything with the word Metal in it. (except for outright Doom metal, I can do without that)

 

[The Wanderer]
