Opinions and preferences are going to vary wildly, but I only listen to the more melodic style with clean vocals. Seventh Wonder, Circus Maximus, Threshold and Lost in Thought would be good examples.

By the way, Dubrovnik is fantastic!

As prefaced in my original post, opinions and preferences (probably should have said tastes) will vary wildly. This is my personal preference! I've never really cared for other types of metal. I simply responded to the op inquiring about favorite types of metal.

death metal is the best metal. speed, brutality, groove, and ultra-low growling vocals.

The "recommendations" sub-forum has a lot of subgenres listed.

 

[Balls McHoolihan]

My favorite genre would be death metal and my favorite form of that would have to be brutal death/slam.

There are tons of metal sub-genres....many with sub-genres of their own. Really dig in for your research...

It's hard for me to pick between black metal and death metal, and sometimes I switch sides, but id say black metal gets my vote by a hair. I feel as though the defining factors of the genre allow for high versatility and diverse compositions that result in a lot of unique standout works. I look for good atmosphere in my music and black metal is just about unrivaled (and imo it is) in this respect.

But then again you always have heavy metal bands like Judas Priest and Manilla Road, and death metal bands like Immolation and Demilich and The Chasm that seduce and sway my decision.

 

[Spiderchrist]

Death Metal.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Trad/power reigns supreme.
