Favorite type of metal?
- Thread starter combustion07
- Start date
My favourite would be Black metal.Thrash & Death would be 2nd jointly.I also like Doom,folk & traditional metal but just can't get that much into prog or power.
Beside metal my other favourite musical genre would be punk.I listen to classic Sex pistols to new age band Against me!(although don't have that much of a vast knowledge)Does anyone here also like punk?

I'm pretty sure that the best rock albums have the best death metal albums vastly outdone in terms of creativity. As far as consistent soundscapes go: I can understand your preference, but I still question how much of a chance you've given rock.
Thanks for the recs. I'll keep those all on my 'next-to-listen' for death metal. I've listened to every Therion album, by the way -- the death metal ones were decent, but didn't leave much of an impression on me. The more melodic albums, of course, are fantastic.

Indeed they are.
Bad Religion, Wire, Dead Kennedys, Agent Orange, Mission of Burma, The Misfits, Black Flag...
It used to be my favourite genre, before I discovered prog (and prog metal).

Damn fuckin' straight.
My favorite non-metal band of all time.
Their Lemmy-era albums are all classics. The rest of their discography is pretty patchy, but it still contains tons of cool musical ideas -- even a few decent soundscapes.

Admittedly I don't listen to Rock besides the occasional classic rock on the radio. I did not intend to disparage rock, as that would be as silly as disparaging all of metal. I think you comparison of creativity is unfair. Death Metal is defined to a narrower spectrum than Rock so obviously it will be less creative. If it got too creative it wouldn't be death metal.

How is rock more creative than DM?
Besides a few bands, rock's formula is much more basic and predictable with verse/chorus/verse structure. DM's composition contains more tempo changes and more time signatures that go beyond the basic 4/4. DM goes beyond solos based in blues, chug-chug riffing, and pentatonic scales that define many rock bands in general. The use of keyboards has been covered by melodic DM bands.
Even music that has DM elements is more creative than newer rock sub-genres. Compare Dillinger Escape Plan to Nirvana or Blink 182.
Pestilence Spheres alone has 10 times the creativity than any rock band played on the radio in my area.

Spheres is album that trumps anything Chuck Shuldiner did in Death.

that is debatable. don't get me wrong, I love Death. but Pestilence just did it better.

The early dm albums and latest album are the only Therion albums I like. Gothic was a fucking fantastic release.

I was only referring to Spheres. I hate it. If we're comparing Pestilence's Death Metal output to Death's, then Pestilence wins by a landslide. Consuming Impulse, alone, destroys Death's entire catalogue.

If you're looking for death metal that's melodic you should listen to Arghoslent's "Incorrigible Bigotry." I have no idea if you've already listen to them or if they've been suggested already but that album kicks ass.
