Written by BitterCOld on 06.06.2009 at 12:26 Yeah, seriously. What the fuck ever happened to her? She was responsible for me getting into what are now a lot of my favourite bands... I wish I could change my vote...I think I voted folk metal like 3 years ago...Even though I'm a heavy metal guy for the most part.

Okay, I'm back at Black Metal again. For a while, or a couple of years maybe, I was mostly into prog. But I feel that Black Metal is the genre which does it for me. Especially with all the wonderful sub-genres of the sub-genre. Melodic, symphonic, depressive... ahh, love it. Love you Black!

I can only pic, one  I honestly change tastes and preferences several times within a month sometimes. Sometimes I just find myself getting tired of metal/rock in general. Their definitely seems to be a theme to my tatses however. I find myself preferring more rhythmic stuff more so than overly melodic stuff. Maybe it has to do with that I listen to most of my music while driving (which I do a lot of) but maybe it just helps me get energized. I do have a certain thing for advante-garde though when its done right.

My favourite bands come from a variety of genres, however, my favourite genre is and always has been thrash metal, hands down. I'm a sucker for anything with a fast tempo, killer guitars and ripping vox, and usually thrash has all of these. Plus, it always gets me in the mood to fuck shit up and party!

Black metal... I really like folk, too, but the best folk bands are Black/Folk, so I guess Black is the best choice for me. I'm a real metalhead, but I realized I'm not into many subgenres. Black, Folk and Extreme Power are almost the only genres I listen to very often. Death (except melodic and gothenburg), Doom, Thrash and Prog are sooo boring to me, except for a few bands.

I voted for other because the majority of bands I like do not simply fall into one genre; they combine genres for a unique sound.

Although for the most part I like all kinds of genres, just if I had to pick one I'd pick traditional heavy metal. As much as my tastes progress and change, I always seem to love good ole' heavy metal. Bands like Judas Priest, Manowar and Sabbath are always enjoyable.

Written by Xim on 25.12.2009 at 05:09 Agreed. I started listening to Sabbath and Priest in the late 70's. Over the decades I've come too really like a lot of different styles of metal. But, I always come back to traditional heavy metal.

Written by Numbskull on 09.01.2010 at 06:19 Well, the funny this I was born in 1990 the decade where nu-metal and stuff like that was all at top (metal-wise) which I'll admit some of it I do enjoy since it's some personal nostalgia for me. But when I looked back into the past of heavy metal, I realized the good ole' days for the genre were the very best.

My favorite bands tend to be a mix of Prog and something so i would have to say Prog on this, but in truth I enjoy most metal genres and bands from most metal genres feature in my collection.

Its weird, my favorite sub-genres depends on the decade  80's for Thrash, (very)early 90s for Death, and Black through all 90's. In the 2000 from on I just got addicted to Sludge/Post-Hardcore, that simply completly surpass the Black Metal.But I have favorite bands in almost every genre, being Black metal the genre with a larger number of favorite bands, Ill vote for it.

Written by bloodwrage on 19.01.2010 at 04:55 Click here, search for Black Metal bands, risk Dimmu Borgir and Cradle from the list (:P) and listen to all the others discography.

Written by Uirapuru on 13.01.2010 at 14:16 same here actually and I also voted black metal. I tend to listen to that the most, seconded by death metal. The only difference for me is that for the new millenium, I'll put folk metal as my favorite I like all the 'extreme' subgenres, folk (which could be considered extreme I guess), and the traditional heavy metal bands (I grew up listening to them ). Outside of those genres, there aren't too many bands I like. A few power metal bands but that's it.

I voted progressive. I like it best for the reasons mentioned by Doc Godin, but I also like Thrash alot, especialy if it has some prog influences...
