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 black metal is the hardest metal genre to get into. Not only because of the "sound" violence, but also for the themes, the production (not always state-of-the-art  ). It's not for everybody

I'm going with Funeral Doom, and I find that rather fitting because I'll be at my own damn funeral by the time I can stand listening to that mess! Like, dude, we knew what an E power chord sounded like in 1969. Let's try a new one in the next few minutes or so.

Written by Metalhead2 on 23.05.2008 at 10:31 oh yes, I was not meaning that I find it difficult. Only that probably it is the most difficult genre to get into, especially for people who don't "agree" with the concepts.

Well...for me, progressive metal. I just don´'t see what's special about it. Oh wow, you incorporate pop and classical and metal and <insert random genre> and make really good long quitar solos, show off individual skills on an instrument and think you're awesome... That could be fine, if the songwriting was as good as the individual skill... I have listened to both of the world wide renowned prog metal bands Dream Theater and Opeth and also random albums from bands I don't remember. Aaaanyways, both Opeth and DT bore me to death. BORE me. Note that this sentence comes from someone who enjoys funeral doom immensely. Prog is basically the only metal genre that I´ve not gotten a grip of during a,,,,4 or so years.

i like only new Enslaved from prog sometimes...but sometimes only... and Opeth sometimes. And I agree that DT :sleep::sleep: sux. So fucking stupid solos omg noone normal cant stand them.Back on topic, it is easy to get into prog, especially if you are metal newbie because you just have to listen to the album 4-5 times and you will start to like it, trust me :]:sleep: :sleep::sleep:

Written by Bad English on 24.05.2008 at 10:15 Actually, the last couple of Enslaved albums have shown the band starting to pull away from black metal. And they've dropped the Viking influence all together (except for a few of their lyrics) and have started incorporating elements similar to late 70's early 80's prog rock bands.

Written by Gordon Freeman on 26.05.2008 at 18:14 Sounds good though! Well, I can't speak for EVERY song, but some of them like "Ruun", "Essence" and Below the Light's very own "As Fire Swept clean the Earth". Ruun is like the black metal "Blackwater Park" to me. Still a big fan of Enslaved..

It has to be drone metal, bands like sunn o}}} sound like a bunch of clicking and buzzing at 1 mile (1.6KM) per hour. It's fucking boring, and theres really not much too it. I really tried but then i noticed, i don't need to buy a cd if i wanted to hear untempo'ed buzzing.

Written by -Valhalla- on 29.05.2008 at 04:46 I subscribe that. It's a genre I'm not theoretical enought (yet) to grasp. But I'm not in a hurry.

For me it would have to be Grindcore. I just dont really understand it. I love death, thrash, black, prog, power, melo-death, and every other sub genre that has to deal with the main ones I mentioned, but to me Grindcore is just really difficult to get into.

Written by -Soulreaper- on 20.06.2008 at 22:49 I don't see how you can't like Grindcore if you like death metal, very similar, but they do have their differences. I guess you can see grindcore as a more simple version of death metal, more straight forward, then again people can come down my throat with Cephalic Carnage.

For me its Folk metal and sometimes Doom metal. The first one 'cause its has too much influence about the culture of one country and if you're not very familiar with it its more difficult to get into IMO, and I get bored when i listen to some bands of the genre, of course some are from another genre like black metal and they have a lo of influence of folk and they use it all the time and thats all right but I dont like the pure sound of folk metal bands. And I've tried to listen some doom metal bands but i get really bored with all those long pauses, long songs, sometimes the weird atmospheres, etc., they're definetely not for me...
