So, you might like metal, but you probably have a favorite sub-genre as well. I'd also be interested in hear what genre you like the least.

My favorite is sludge. I can't stand metalcore however.

Oh there are so many that I love. Doom metal, Thrash, Viking metal, Pirate Metal, Mago de Oz metal, epic metal like Rhapsody, whatever Lamb of god is, mainstream black metal (Cradle, Dimmu and such) I could go on.

Death Metal is by far my favorite sub-genre. I enjoy most other of the sub-genres very much, but none of them can compare to the majesty of DM.

It's a really tough choice between black metal and death metal... I think I'd give the edge to black metal, though.

Its a tossup between Queensryche Prog (none of this Dream Theater stuff) and Symphonic, with Power following close behind.

My four main are Heavy, Melodic Death, Death and Thrash...I'm slowly getting into Black Metal now too, it took a few listens to Bathory, Venom, Wolves in the Throne Room, Immortal and Marduk, but I'm starting to like it a lot now...

I dislike all metal that ends in core, whether it's deathcore, metalcore, grindcore, crabcore, or any other stupid core. I also dislike Glam/Hair metal and industrial metal...and if there was one band I could get rid of in the metal genre it would be Bezerker....

NWOBHM is probably my favorite metal genre. I enjoy thrash, nu, alternative, industrial, groove, some power, some progressive, and to name a few... as well.

when I first heard of folk metal I laughed, now I can't go a day without it. Also I find the culture behind black metal riveting and enhances my enjoyment of that sub-genre. One more mention to drone or ambient, not sure thats correct genre but just different weird stuff (Sunn o))), Isis, ulver, ahab, etc.)

This. Not In Flames though, they're way overrated. I also love thrash metal.


I've recently taken a liking to prog death metal, like Opeth. Fans of Opeth is gonna love a norwegian band called In Vain. You'll find them at Spotify, definitely recommended.

My favorite is Symphonic Metal, no contest. Second would probably be Gothic or Power Metal, and I also like all the Melodic variants of the metal sub-genres.

The only ones I don't really like are Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, and the -cores.

What happened to metal just being metal? I don't go in for the subgenre hijinks often, but thrash / speed metal I suppose.

That song is indeed the truly awesome descending upon my ears, but that song could almost just as well have been a doom metal song tbh. :3 *hears the elongated cries of a thousand metal genresnobs*
