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.

I started out loving Power Metal, but find myself listening to it less and less unless it's an extreme [CoB, Bal-Sagoth, Kalmah] or Symphonic [Symphony X, Dragonland, Avantasia]. I'd say my favourite subgenre is Black Metal, with Progressive and Gothic bands coming up behind it.

For me, I'm going to say doom metal. More specifically death/doom and funeral doom.

Thrash Metal has brought so much to the metal community, with classics like MoP and RIB, i just have to go with that.

My favourite subgenres are probably Black Metal, Death Metal and Folk Metal (influenced by other genres or not). Black Metal because of the atmosphere it creates, it creates an intense atmosphere with an incredible musicality. Death metal because of the technique of the musicians and the feeling of anger that i possess when i listen to it. And folk metal because it's powerfull and funny, seriously, i love listen to folk metal while i'm drinking alcohol or when i'm with a girl...

It has to be Doom for me Specifically Black/Doom, Death Doom & Funeral Doom

after that i'd say Death Metal, closely followed by Black Metal & then Progressive. I have an appreciation for nearly all metal genres though & have bands i really like from each genre.

My top two faves are Thrash Metal and Other: Glam Metal. Mainly due to the fact that Glam Metal got me into Metal and Thrash Metal keeps me into it.

Impossible to choose as I change my mind every 5 seconds. I would've said Death 15 days ago, but now I'm completely focused on Power.

Most stuff that mixes genres in the 'melodic' section, though I don't have anything against harsh vocals.
I picked prog, there is only a few prog bands which I dislike...and the most ones I like are in the genre too.

Death metal, particularly brutal slam metal or deathgrind. I also like a lot of thrash, black, and NWOBHM.

I voted for Death Metal. My favorite subgenres of death metal are technical and progressive death metal. I can't get enough of the speed, technicality and precision required to play technical death and I love the complexity and technical skill as well as the different layers and techniques displayed in progressive death metal.
