Right, which genre of metal do you think is beter?

- Black Metal?

or...

- Death Metal?

I have a feeling I know which will win, but I want to find out what the general concensus is amongst you!

Vote for your preferred genre now!

Black metal. I've become a big death metal fan as of late, but the atmosphere found in black metal acts such as Emperor, Borknagar (semi-black), Darkthrone, Enslaved, Immortal, Mayhem and (early) Arcturus just nails me to the floor. Simply brilliant.

Edit: And oh, I'm quite sure that death metal will win.. And the whole "Is Opeth death metal" debate will probably start again ;) Can't we just agree that Opeth is progressive metal with acoustic parts, subtle melodies and death metal vocals?
 
Hummm.. hard question you got there..

Black metal tends to be more melodical... but tr00 black metal its raw, hard and it hits you like a shotgun.. hahaha.. maybe not that hard.

Death metal has more wide range of genres... so i preffer death metal.
 
Black metal is in my view superior in that it illustrates the romantic on a deeper level than that of death. Death metal is in all rights just as valid/brilliant an artform, but I just connect better with black metal.
