Favorite Metal Sub-genres (This time with a poll :) )

[Ender Rises]

I've always enjoyed thrash and groove metal. Anything with a real concrete beat. I don't like music that is just an assault on the ears.
How about any of you?

 

[Impudent]

Thrash is number one in my book. Though I enjoy most forms of metal.

 

[Ender Rises]

As do I, however, when a band sacrifices beat for noise I can't stand it.

I don't really know what you're getting at, but ok.

I've been getting into a lot of death metal recently.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Black metal, old school death metal.

^ He knows what's up.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

viking/pagan/folk whatever

 

[Dän]

I enjoy metal across the board
specifically i have been getting into the more melodic side of things recently. I do enjoy thrash, expecially old school thrash. And just good heavy metal music

I like metal. Sub-genres are stupid.

Btw ender: Metal is a GENRE of music. Everything else within metal is a sub-genre.

 

[unknown]

I listen to most every genre of metal with thrash and black being the more dominant ones.

Eh. Everyone says thrash like it's a genre, so whatever. Depends on how you look at it.

ranges from Arcturus to Ved Buens Ende...I'm leaning more towards the Ved Buens Ende, Fleurety "avant garde/bizarro" end of the realm. Dodheimsgard. Meads of Asphodel. There was a thread not too long ago with a listing of what few "post black metal" bands there are.

But it's not. Thrash is a form of metal aka a sub-genre of metal.
