What kind of metal you like and why ?

w00t ! I created a wonderful thread here :) *is proud*

BTW who here LIKES angra ? particularly their Temple of Shadows album ? I don't wanna read people saying ``ANGRA SUCKS BALLS `` cuz that was not my question. thx.

I love Angra, and IMO ToS is their best album by far. I love it.

Dude, are you serious? I hate that album. I used to love Angra back in the day, but I really don't like their new stuff. Last Angra show I went to, a couple of years ago, I left in the middle because the whole thing just sucked way too bad.

But, answering the question, I've been enjoying some folk metal ever since Paganfest. Most of the really successful bands out there I just don't have the patience to listen to anymore... Went to Arch Enemy the other day and enjoyed it as much as I could, until I decided it was time to leave. I just find everything way too cheesy (yes, including folk metal:p). Stuff like Amorphis, on the other hand, will never get old to me... and metal mixed with electronic stuff :)

:lol: I hate you, I would love to see Angra... also, that album is my personal fav, has many great songs. The guest vocal tracks on ToS are amazing (Hansi and Kai ftw). Aurora Consurgens is my second favourite though.
 
Yeah Aurora Consurgens is great too ! But, like you, I do prefer ToS ! There's so many great ideas on that album. The intro to Angels and Demons is amazing ! The Temple of Hate and Winds of Destination (with Kai and Hansi) are both amazing tracks ! the soloing on ToS is just unbelievable.
 
Letz me see.

Aiy laik;

Children of Bodom - why? Due to their cheesyness and awesome melodies highly influenced by classical, sometimes 80s hard rock and sometimes it could sound like some old super mario game.
As you may have noticed, I like their first albums the best.
Also Alexi has the only growl vocals, wich I can listen to without going "oh no. Oh my God." I think I could enjoy a lot more music, if it wasn't for the fact that I want to rip my hair out because of the singer/s.

Also I like Evergrey.

Some Iron Maiden.

Some Angra.

and Dream Theater, if you count that as metal, IDK. I mainly like their first album

Also I really like rock with metal influences.

Yup. So as you may have figured, I'm no OMGZ br00talz guy. Sorry to dissapoint, but you probably don't care anyways (and you shouldn't). Therefore I will end this seemingly neverending post, because no one even cares to read it anyways and I'm just writing awayblalbablalbalbaldblablal. Oh God. I'm tired. This only happens when I'm tired.

edit;
Oh yeah. And some Cacophony. I hate their singer though, so it's not to much. Mainly the instrumentals.
 
Well I mostly listen to melodic death, power, some symphonic and some gothic metal. But, of course, I like bands from other genres too
