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.

@Kariasakis7: Maybe "experimental" is the wrong word. Some goth bands I adore for their intricacies and oddities but others just get a bit too weird for me. I'll find some good examples for you.

Dont ttry for me

But I can listen 60% of bands what are in www.gothmetal.net, others because thay aer posers, also I can lsiten bands like Sisters Of Mercy, Marrilion, but those expermental goth band, even if drink bottle Jack daniels or Tequilla down, Its be boring for me, better lock to wall and try see soem animals there, I cant listen those bands who play music like disco, locks liie vampire, and no posible tell sex, I dunno examples but there are some bands ok stupid exapmle but Marillin Manson, also soem Scandinavian goth bands like To/Die/For others, exept Beseech , becaus ethaya er freezed, freezed emotions, thay amd al goth bands wrote great lyrics but some bands has freezed emotions, try Gready Invalide from czceh republic, in czcech metalstoremers tread Koolaac post linkw hit video, I realy like it, maybe because that lady are mistery for me

Thrash, all the way, I think that subgenre fits the word "metal " the best.

I voted for Gothic, though many Gothic bands I listen to, aren't real gothic metal imo, these are bands like Epica, After Forever, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Elis, etc. For me they're more like Symphonic Metal.
After gothic, I love Folk/Viking and then Power.

It was a hard decision, I finally voted gothic metal but I really love progressive metal as well. I voted gothic because I like the atmosphere of this genre and the female voices are beautiful. I think gothic metal is a very diverse genre, but I especially like symphonic gothic.

Death Metal.....
I love death metal mainly because of the vocals.....
They express anger, pain, gore, and power with their voices which is what extreme metal is all about!!!
Death metal vocals is perfectlly suted to the powerfull guitar anguish that is compined with the crazy Druming

I voted for Death Metal because it has a huge variety of styles and bands. It's just so agressive and raw but also so technical and sometime melodic. Only DEATH is real!!!

Thrash for me! It's what brought me into Metal in the first place and it's helped me introduce many of my friends into metal.

I wish I could vote for two though, 'cause then I'd vote for Gothic Metal. Tristania, Octavia Sperati, The Sins Of Thy Beloved... just so beautiful...

Then there's Death Metal because I'm in love With the old Floridian scene... Ugh! This is like choosing my favourite food! I guess I dont hold any subgenre over any other.

Right now at this time my favorite is Death Metal, becuase of the brutality, the speed, the power you feel when you listen to it, the brutal vocals, the gory gory lyrics, and of course the bloody album covers. Black Metal is right behind Death Metal, then Thrash Metal.

Hard Rock!!!!!! and Power!!!!!! Heroic true metal is my favorite too hehe, any style has it's good and bad points. i really don't like black metal pandas jiji because black metal (in my opinion) is a very closed and limited genre (heathen thems, satan, hate church) but i respect the musicians that make black imean , there are many good black metal bands, but no my favorite genre, i'm more relationated with Stryper, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian...and that kind of styles.

I voted Black Metal, simply because it evokes feelings and relates to me more than any other kind of music (except for Sonata Arctica, who somehow write ballads about every single one of my relationships). Listening to BM at midnight is truly a rewarding experience.

Yeah, it's really hard to choose, I like the faster stuff. Mainly thrash, but the only new fast stuff coming out is death metal and slayer. So I don't have very much of a choice.

But yeah, basically as long as it's fast.
