So what's your favourite metal subgenre? Mine is progressive metal; love it's creativity and with lengthy songs it gives the artists enough time to produce a lot of diversity within a track. Most of the time the musicians are highly skilled as well as being able to combine emotion into their music. Additionally, I find that this genre of music can be very experimental at times.

Btw, if your favourite genre is not on the poll it's because I didn't have enough space to put it on. So click other and say what your favourite genre is.

My favourite sub-genre is changing to and from black and death atm... Both because of new albums released in each genre...

Marduk - Room 5:12
Vital Remains - Icons Of Evil

I overall have to say black metal. I just love the atmosphere and the distinct "evil" sound of the music. I also love the variety whether it's lsitening to the raw minmalistic esque BM, to the avant garde-esque BM. There is just so much to find in the genre and it's something you really become involved in and a part of.

I went with Viking/Folk. I really like all of them a lot, but at the moment I'm listening to a lot of Viking and Folk metal like Amon Amarth, and Ensiferum.

Hm, I don't know, I like both power and thrash metal.


I voted thrash, but actually I would not like to pick a favourite style and it might change easily. I also usally like bands from atmospheric black, tech death and doom and some psychedelic music, and some folk.

I love power metal the most for a couple of reasons. I like the clean vocals, with the high pitch and the emphasis on guitars. Sometimes the doom and gloom of other genres gets a little depressing and to me, there is nothing like some Helloween or Blind Guardian to put me in a good mood.

I would chose DOOM METAL, but as we can see there isn't that option on the poll, so I voted Other. I also like the other types, except Power Metal and Heavy Metal.

It's pretty hard, because it's always switching between Black Metal and Death Metal for me. I can't choose between those two, so I guess I'll pick both. I'm really into a lot of metal subgenre's though. I'm a big Power Metal fan, i'm really into Thrash Metal, I like a lot of Progressive Metal bands. Folk Metal is also one of my favorites.

But I also like power, black, gothemburg, death, speed, folk, heavy, gothic, progressive, symphonic and nu in that specific order, read my profile, I'm really into those genres but thrash is what I love the most
I'm also trying to get into doom

Death Metal. I think it's great, the speed (mostly the drummers), the technique that the guitarrists have, those riffs...
