Which is THE BEST METAL GENRE??

[The Hammer]

I think THRASH METAL

what do you think?

THE HAMMER THRASH METAL WILL NEVER DIE

 

[WarHead]

DEATH METAL!!!!!!!!

 

[Parasite]

Death Metal

 

[IcedEarth556]

Death and thrash are my favorites.

 

[jimbobhickville]

You forgot prog and technical metal. Tech is best, thrash is second, prog is third.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

you also forgot melodic death metal. Out of the genres you selected black metal is the best

 

[CorpseDust]

Death metal

 

[humus666]

I'm a blekkie

 

[SculptedCold]

melodic death comes under death, which is why there's a 'brutal death' for differentation. technical metal? that's just stupid.

 

[~UlvedaL~]

BLACKMETAL!!!!

 

[Hywel]

Death...

 

[Board]

I go for black metal! I wouldn't have minded gothic being in the poll.

 

[Wanderingblade]

Can't make up my mind between Doom and Death...

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Classic metal. I take that to include '80s heavy metal and arena/hair metal.

 

[Nate The Great]

I had to go with death, just because so many bands fit into it. I'm a big "noisecore" fan. Watchmaker, Converge, Drowningman, and Dillinger Escape Plan can sort of fit into this category. I think that is the future of American heavy music.

 

[Stoner Sioux]

Uh, do I have to pick, its too fucking hard.

I'm gonna have to say Death because I loved that before I got into Black and Doom. Well, no because Thrash got me into Death metal.....Arrrrgghh!!! I can't choose. But what bands do you consider Classic Metal?

 

[St. Vitus]

Can opener metal.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I voted death because it can incorporate so many different styles of music/metal into it (besides, the poll separated 'brutal' death metal out, so I wasn't thinking along the lines of Cannibal Corpse or Krisiun style DM). You can get progressive & extremely technical or you can hear the classic twin-lead attack a la Maiden. But most importantly, my fave (current) bands are melodic death metal. You know who they are.

 

[The Wanderer]

This is stupid. Metal rules!

While I listen to all of these genres except Classic, Power and Nu, I voted death metal. The majority of my CD's are death metal, with black metal in a close second. But I don't consider brutal death and just plain death metal different genres. Death metal encompasses brutal and melodic sub genres. Just because one is softer than the other, doesn't mean they should be separated. A metal head should enjoy both.
