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.

Death metal (currently), but mostly Old School Death because of the rawer production. I like a few new Death bands (Faceless, Devourment, ...) but mostly it's Autopsy, Entombed or Morbid Angel.

I voted "other" for Doom.
By the way I wonder how many of the 44 votes for "other" (at the time I post) actually went for Doom?

However I listen to every metal subgenres, though I admit I prefer Black, Melodic Death and Thrash over other subgenres like Heavy, Power and Gothic.

That's really surprising I thought you were more into Symphonic Power Metal and all those kind of stuff

As you seem to be a newbie in Doom Metal don't hesitate to ask me for advices : lol:

I hesitated between Black and Death, but my all time favorite albums are Black Metal, so BM it is.

I don't really know. If you'd ask me a year ago, I'd say nu-metal. Maybe it still is..though I'll just sum it all up, and I'll include some hard rock songs into it and say...Alternative metal. My second choice would be Melodic Death, or Gothic Metal

Its a tie between Symphonic Metal and Power Metal (when you mate the two.... ) but since Power Metal was actually ON the poll, I chose it.

Thrash all the way. I play in a Thrash band so im extremely biased.

Death is second, just because of bands like Nile, Cannibal Corpse, and Dying Fetus

Power metal takes the cake. The best vocalists by far (Roy Khan, Hansi Kürsh, Marco Hietala, Tony Kakko, Michael Kiske, Fabio Lione). Power metal bands also usa symphonic scores quite a lot and that's beyond awesome. The Poet and the Pendulum...

I chose power metal even though my top two favorite bands,(Dream Theater, Opeth) are progressive metal bands. I just find that it's the genre I listen to the most on average. I also really love black metal and thrash metal as well. Well actually I love just about any genre of metal.
