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

[Boru]

Thrash, Melodic Death, Folk (Otyg )
I also love doom, stoner, and sludge all 3 which are similar.

Isn't Borknagar a mix between black and viking metal. Anyways they are one of my favorite bands.

post- is just another way of saying "not the same old shit"

haha I like that definition

 

[CF87]

I like those wedding metal bands. Forest & Woods metal

clouds metal, depression metal, drink metal, cemetary metal,

good stuff... all of it.

 

[BlessedxForsaken]

Thrash. Black. Ive been getting into Viking metal here lately.

 

[Alongside Death]

cyber-grind.... if done well, which about two bands have actually managed to do.

You mean like... Ion Dissonance?

My favourite are: Doom, black and death metal.

 

[Thasis]

All of them!

But realy, my favorite genre is probally Black Metal and my favorite sub-genre is Symphonic Industrial Black-Death with Thrash-Doom Undertones

 

[SheisMySin]

My fave would have to be thrash. Thrash or death with groove and tempo changes definitely pulls me in and gets me hooked.

Repeditive blastbeats bore me after a while, even if the musicianship is good.

Black and power metal are a joke for me...too many bands trying to stay within limits lyrically and musically in order to be called black or power.

I like bands that have uniqueness...some of my favorite bands are normally mixes of genres.

That is very true about Black Metal. But I tend to not like all out BM but more of the bands that mix it w/ something else. I like Borknagar and Nile a lot.

 

[IWP]

I'll go with Thrash, Power, Death, and a bit of Grindcore. \m/

P.S. This thread should've had a poll.

Battle metal, to my knowledge, while being made up usually refers to bands like Axis of Advance.

That'd be "war metal" aka fast black/death with a militant attitude...kinda originated in Australia, to my knowledge...doesn't really exist but I don't mind it being used really...

My favorites are:

1. Brutal death metal
2. Melodic DEATH metal (not melo-death!)
3. Black metal

[ohiogrinder]

mostly grindcore and some black/war metal. I like very few death metal bands.

 

[cookiecutter]

My favorite sub genre by far is Death Metal in any form. Brutal, Old School, Groovy, melodic, and even occasionally deathcore. I also like a few black metal bands like Lord Belial, 1349 and Naglfar.

 

[immo]

Ah, tuffy cause I don't want to make a bigass list ...

Viking and Viking/Folk
Technical Death
Power
Grindcore and DeathGrind
Metalcore ... Yes, I like it. So kill me.
