I know that many people seem to take a lot to get into progressive metal, for example, and I don't know why, but I supposed it's because this whole experimentation with complex structures and stuff. In the other hand, and based on the number of fans of each band, I can see that doom metal is one of the most "unpopular" (¿?) or the hardest genre to get into for most of the people here in Metal Storm (especially funeral doom).
The genre that has taken me the most to get into is death metal, basically the pure death, technical death and brutal death. I don't know why this happens to me as I don't dislike grunts, and I would say that the only death metal form I appreciate is melo-death (including gothenburg) or death metal fusions with other genres like death/doom or death/prog.
So, what do you think it is the most difficult genre to get in?

I think the most difficult genre is thrash cuz people can find it a bit boring and repetetive at first listening though it is among the greatest things in the metal world

Doom metal would be that genre for me. It's even painful to listen to sometimes!  But there are many good bands in this genre, it just takes time and time getting into them.

-core music for me, generally. Some bands pull the music off in a way i enjoy, but most have an appalling vocal style and since i consider vocals to be one of the main musical instrument (well...it's the loudest sound in songs, so it makes sense), i don't listen to them alot. I also think that death metal is more difficult than black metal. Black metal is more oriented towards creating an atmosphere, whereas death metal just pounds away at you. I say this because that's how it worked for me. I liked death metal a long time ago, but just recently i've started fully appreciating it and noticing the little things.

Hmmm... Id rather say Black Metal. It took me two years to get into that . I couldnt bear the vocals before. But now its ok.. my ears got used to it, and i like it. But, it's surprising to read that people consider Thrash as a diffucult genre to get into... I started listening to that right after my Industrial period. I think Thrash is even the easiest genre to get into... its fast and catchy...and the vocals are usually not too harsh..

well I suppose it differs from person to person which genré is harder to get into.. for myself progressive and avant-garde stuff was the harder stuff to get into that I do actually like now.. I can enjoy progressive metal now for myself, I cant stand gothic metal or doom metal - so they would be the hardest for me I guess.. but like I said it will differ for individuals

I think that avant-garde is indeed a tough genre for lots of people. When I bought my first Aesma Daeva album, I liked some parts of it but the rest was at first too hard for me to understand thoroughly....it sounded abnormal and strange....too many shades at first so I couldn't differ the all kinds of aspects it had....But now Aesma Daeva is one of my most favourite bands....however...I don't claim their music suits every mood...its rather specific...for example an aqcuaintance of mine was rather shocked when she heard Aesma Daeva and she still thinks of it as of some sort of stupid medieval classical boring chamber orchestra with weird sound effects...... Extreme metal has never been difficult for me to get into....I always liked it....I don't listen to it often on CDs....this sort of music is best in live...that's a fact.....

For me it would be brutal death, first wave of black metal and grindcore. I still haven't gotten into them yet

Written by [user id=22600] on 25.03.2007 at 03:16 brutal death and raw(first wave?) black metal ... I've finally entered these two, but it took me about an year to do get into it.. since I myself don't like grindcore I don't suggest you to listen to it, but about B-DM and R-BM, you'll get into those after certain time (gradually), but only if you have interest in them.

Right....I knew AD was darkwave...however...when I read some people's opinions about them then I heard them called avant-garde once....hence the reason....

Written by Paganblood on 25.03.2007 at 08:53 I second that as well, it was hard for me to get into raw BM, but eventually on a grim and frostbitten day it clicked and it sounds great....which my point is that atmosphere is key, if you are in the right mood, it will click with you too.

Prog can be really hard to get into, it takes alot of patience to get used to, sitting through a 12 minute song can get tedious, especially if your not particularly interested in the band.

Doom metal is another for me, particularly traditional doom like Sabbath and Candlemass, it just doesn't do anything for me

Power metal!!! Damn, I will never understand it..  I can't listen to it in fact... I have cramps when I hear Power metal...It difficult for me to understand Brutal Death...  But I have no problems with Doom... Especially with Funeral Doom...

Of course its Black Metal, because people just arent kvlt enough to get it  You may also consider Nu metal as the hardest one to get into, at last for some one who knows what true metal is

Speaking from personal experience Grind Core, I need some time to get into this, I got some Anal Cunt albums when I was about 12, I was listening those songs (million of them) for mounths, and nothing happend, just like eating orange. After almost five years I started to like this genre and now bands like Exhumed are always on my playlist, alright almost always...

death metal and heavy thrash metal will have me leaving the room in after a few minutes.

Nu metal in a way, not the music itself, but its usually fairly n00bish (sorry lack of a better word) metalheads that seem to be really insecure about looking like a poser so they treat nu metal like a plague, it takes a fairly mature metalhead to accept and say some nu metal is actually ok.

Early norwegian black (mayhem, burzum, emperor) was really hard for me to get into. Even now it takes some time to analyze some mayhem and burzum songs..
