Your favorite metal genre...

[~Zeanra~]

I can't vote for one, I like many genres mixed together. But if I have to choose from those above I say death- and doom metal.

Who voted new metal!!!

 

[Valfar]

BAH! i hate nu metal

 

[DeadWinterDead]

Nu metal is the best! It reminds me of my favorite rap bands!

 

[Blackspirit]

I voted folk metal, only cause I couldn't find viking metal!
Then I saw it just as I voted >P Hehe... But a mix
between the two is great. But then again, I also love so
many other genres, and to top it all, I am really not good
with genres...hehe... )

 

[Calisto]

I voted Viking metal... because most of my favourite bands are "Viking metal"..

Actually i like Coalchamber of Soulfly of some reasons.. even if they play "nu-metal"...

I pretty much consider folk/Viking/battle/medieval/pagan/Celtic, etc to all be the "same" subgenre of black metal. While there are subtle nuances found within all the above, it's kind of silly to separate them from each other. So to continue the vein of the thread for example, I'd consider Finntroll in the same boat as Thyrfing, which is in the same boat as Primordial. But that's all just my opinion of course.

I can somehow agree to that, but still not. I do not see all those genres as subgenres to black metal. I think they all have quite their own sound whether they sound a bit darker or not.

Some of them may sound very similar to each other, but then it is the style of the band that decides to what genre they "belong" to. And well, I do not see Thyrfing and Finntroll in the same boat. The both may be from Scandinavia and their style may be quite similar, but their music is not really.

Sure, I love Finntroll! )

I voted for black metal, with thrash metal as a close second.

 

[Somber Soul]

I voted for Epic Metal because this genre draws upon various other genres anyway, in my opinion. At least what I understand by epic metal. There can be folkish influences, blackish influences, progressive influences etc. etc.

 

[Odemarkens_son]

i can't say i know all of these genres, but hell...
i love all what is folk/viking/pagan.
other genres depend on my mood:
- pure black, especially early 90'ies classics like Darkthrone ( although i find it kinda 'shallow' )
- all what is atmospheric, including some gothic
- melodic death like Arch Enemy
- and finally power metal (i think Rhapsody is silly but i still like it , and hey , Blind Guardian rulez! )

 

[DoAsISayNotAsIDo]

no multiple choice Thrash,black,death,grind,heavy...

 

[Somber Soul]

Yep, there should have been a choice "All of the above".

Except Nu Metal, Of Course

What's wrong with nu-metal? Doesn't it remind you of your favorite rap bands?!

and Soilwork or In Flakes?

 

[DeadWinterDead]

Dude, Soilwork isn't nu-metal, nor is In Flames... But I'm not too sure about In Flakes...
