What Is Your Favorite Metal Sub-Genre?

[meaperson333]

It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't stay "into" one subgenre long enough to get very in depth to it. Also I'm fairly new to metal.
And there's so many shitty bedroom black metal bands saturating the scene.
That being said, when black metal is good, it's GOOD.

I like doom/death , thrash, melodic death, death, sometimes black metal, Folk and some other genres.
So I think I should vote for Death Metal. (yeah I wrote with capital letter)

Black metal is number 1, but death comes in a vary close second.

People need to lay off the youtube.com shit. There's specific threads that are for posting shit and if someone is interested in something will check it out. I just feel like specific people can't understand personal taste in music and are trying to push their taste on people or something. It's fucking annoying.

Death Metal's my favourite. The order would be Black Metal second, then Doom and Thrash Metal.

 

[mutantllama]

traditional

 

[Balmung]

I go from one subgenre to another depending on my mood, and in any time I would think that is my favourite shit.

Anyway I'd go for traditional doom, death and the more melodic side of black metal.

 

[fps]

i naturally lean toward anything with a groove to it, or anything cathartically intricate.

 

[gundamterran]

I like Progressive Beardcore the most.

 

[Badbird]

Black metal and power metal. Also like traditional metal, death metal, and some doom.

 

[w0es]

Ooooh, Seems Black Metal fans are getting more!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Traditional metal.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Doom Metal

 

[damnromulans]

I said Black but tbh there are favorites from across all genres. Black for me has offered the most promise of poetic escapism and ambient soundscapes on the other side of reality.

 

[Lateralus14]

I voted for Doom metal

That's odd looking at your RYM.

Anyway, tough call between heavy, doom, and death. Doom if it encompasses trad doom, funeral doom, death/doom, and black/doom.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Thrash metal ...

for me it goes thrash > death > black > crust > grind > stoner/doom

 

[Krow]

I suppose I have to say Black metal. I also like my fair share of osdm and tradition/power/doom metal, but something about the diversity of black metal always keeps my interest.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

Death. PURE. FUCKING. DEATH.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Avante-garde brutal blackened tech-death-thrash with industrial jazz elements

 

[ArneZ]

1. Death metal with all of its sub-genres.

Personally I think the amount of shitty half assed black metal bands by far outnumber the good ones.

The truth.
