Fixed in a Metal genre?

[Draehl]

I tend to jump back and forth between Black, Post, Folk, Doom. Sometimes Thrash and Prog.

 

[A1a23]

pretty much everything but nu-metal and metalcore.

I noticed that there are many people disliking the Nu-Metal and Metalcore genres and was just wondering what people dislike about there genres?

 

[Personified Hatred]

Hum... I've listened to every Metal genre for a long time (Nu included), but now I'm fixed just in Death, Black and Thrash.

I have become lost in my local scene. There are some fantastic bands down here on the South Coast of the UK and there's a lotta variety- Death Ape Disco (us, in the sig) Dead Empire (Soundgarden/Clutchy grunge), Lithurgy (prog-metal), Stone Giant (southern rock/ stoner), Blind Eye Fury (LoG style thrash), Furyon (melodic alt-metal), This Means War (fookin heavy).

All very different, but all these bands I like have in common a certain passion and creativity, and I can listen to them all one after the other. I shift metal genres all the time, and out of metal a lot as well. There's good music, and bad, and stuff that just isn't your thing. That's it!!

I try to keep an open mind, and I can honestly say that I do not dislike an entire genre of metal, but I stick with heavy/power, death (especially the fast and melodic variety) and black metal for the most part. I'm trying to listen to more doom and ambient/shoegaze black metal, but it's hard for me to find songs that hold my attention. I love Confessor and Drudkh, though.

 

[Eligos]

Try Castevet. They're catchy enough for you but still have a solid atmosphere.

Anyway I stick mostly to folk metal, black metal, some progressive and "avant garde" metal.

i don't really like the swedish school of heavier harmonised riffage with screamed vocals, it does nothing for me.

 

[Bitencourt29]

A mix of Death, Black, Thrash, Trad and Doom. Death is my favourite Metal genre though.

 

[Inso]

I bounce around between most genres of metal. No reason to stick to 1 genre, you miss out on too much music that way.

This.

Although I go through phases of listening to one genre more than others, I prefer to mix it up as much as possible to keep things fresh. Its nice to hear the contrast between different styles of metal too. Like today I went from some NWOBHM stuff straight into brutal death, kind of accentuates the defining features of both.

Excellent recommendation, thanks!

I love that stuff.

I'm pretty much traditional, thrash, and early death centric. Progressive as a prefix attached to any of those is usually a positive as well, although stand alone I'm not a fan of it.

If you haven't yet, check out Brutally Deceased. Czech DM that sounds like Dismember.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Will do.

EDIT: Is this the right one?

I'm pretty fixed regarding genres I'm not into. Power metal, folk metal and melodic death/melodeath and crossovers thereof are not for me. I find most black metal hard to listen to also.
