How far does your taste branch out within the realms of metal?

[Manic Ferocity]

Though I do prefer metal in it's most un-tainted original form, I do enjoy stoner doom, sludge, and some experimental math stuff that some may consider metalcore like Converge and Starkweather. I know some of you hold biases against sludge, drone, stoner, and especially metalcore but I just thought it would be interesting to get others' opinion on this.

lol at metal in its most un-tainted original form

You can laugh at it all you want, but even you know there's truth in those words.

I just think that it is a hilarious thing to say and sounds retarded. I'm sure it could be worded in a way that didn't sound so condescending, not to mention unintentionally funny.

What is so hard to believe about that statement?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Anyway, I enjoy at least something from every style of metal, new and old, classic and modern, "good" and "bad". I listen to whatever the hell I want, and listen to it whenever I want. Sometimes I'll be in a black metal mood, sometimes in a power metal mood (the early incarnations or the modern Euro-flower stuff), sometimes in a classic thrash mood or in a modern "futuristic"/groove/etc. metal mood. I realize my taste could be considered unfocused or whatever but don't really care.

because it sounds so funny in unintentionally way

I'm kinda the same as V5. I have black, death, thrash, melo, power, avant-garde, doom, stoner, gothic, industrial, classic... My tastes shift all the time so the styles change.

I like 2nd wave black metal for the most part. I have my favorites in modern and classic death metal (both American and European), but I've left out this huge decade-long gap between the classics and what has been notable in the last five years that I feel I need to explore. Not big on anything traditional in respects to heavy metal, power metal, or doom metal, though I do like funeral doom and death/doom. I had this folk metal phase, but only listen to a handful of those bands anymore, none of the giddy jump-up-and-down accordion-based stuff. I also had an industrial metal phase with similar results.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I like real metal.
No poseur shit.

 

[Eligos]

I'm a poser. I like all that faggy shit.

If anyone wants to quote me on that in the future, go ahead.

I like real metal.
No poseur shit.

This sums up my thoughts.

I'm pretty goddamn all over the place. I actually think this sometimes hinders me because I don't have a very specific knowledge of one or two subgenres; instead it's all spread out very thin

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah but Thoth likes about...6 bands total.

Mike...didn't you get me into Ansur? If so, you rule.

 

[Eligos]

They're the 6 coolest bands, though.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Slayer, Deicide, Slayer, Slayer, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse?

 

[Eligos]

Slayer, Deicide, Slayer, Darkthrone, Burzum, Cannibal Corpslayer

 

[unknown]

Yeah but Thoth likes about...6 bands total.

Mike...didn't you get me into Ansur? If so, you rule.

you're damn right I did. Axiom was hard to top, but Warring Factions beat the shit out of it. outstanding band.

eligos: check out Ansur

 

[Eligos]

Yes sir *salutes*

 

[Eligos]

You know, I think I checked out Ansur a while ago because ASD was raving about them and was kinda impressed but not really. But I will check them out again.
