What metal genres do you like?

I'm definately a thrash head. I prefer that straight in-your-face thrash feel like Forbidden, early Testament or The Haunted, Viking, with clean vox and fast guitar.

I'll take anything today that has the same old school structures, especially a thrash/black mix. I love the black metal feel in Dragonlord, in bands like Witchery, Dimension Zero, later Testament, (maybe the Crown, but they're pushing it).

After these, I don't really classify anything else -- Power, Progressive, Traditional etc. In Flames, Judas Priest, Helloween, Nevermore -- all this shit is great. They all go into the same pot.

Without these, then I guess I'd go doom, but this is far from my favorite style.

I will say this, I don't care for 98% of all the death metal out there. I'd listen to Ratt or Motley Crue before death.

I bet we could come up with about 200 kinds of metal genres, just make shit up like MeloDeath, IndustroDoom...

what's cool about DRAGONLORD's music is that there's thrash/black/progressive elements combined!

thanks for reminding me... i absolutely HATE-HATE-HATE cock-rock/butt-rock like poison, warrant, slaughter, firehouse.

:puke:

i refuse to even call that garbage "metal".
 
hmmm... swedish death (old school, but also NWOSDM), second place goes to norwegian black and third to folk/viking metal.
 
of you heard Stormlord? I think they're good. :)

Some people would call it Epic Black metal. But I would like to call it "Agressive power/epic metal".

By the way, people, is there any death metal groups you could recommend? I haven't heard so much of that genre. I would like to know more about it. :D
