So, what's your black sheep of the metal family? (and please no crap about 'not metal'). I can respect and tolerate almost anything, but I guess I dislike Black metal the most (and Pornogrind, if you can call it a genre), but there's really no purpose putting poll for it in this forum. Why do I dislike it? I hardly even gave it a try, but it sounds so soulless and empty to me. That's just my subjective opinion of course.
And yours?

Written by All Metal on 16.11.2019 at 22:40 Nu metal is not new at all. It was big in the 90s, that's almost 30 years old by now and it has been refined. While I agree that most nu-metal sucks, as do the -core genres, there are some highlights like Rage Against the Machine, and the nu-metal elements that Pain of Salvation has always incorporated in their albums.

Basically bands and genres what plays in roadburn, whit out few. I dont like drone, djent, math, all core, modern core, ni, alternative metal, same goes to industrial, schreed, neo classical, 50% power, 50% symphonic and so on, all what was before my time I like

Written by Bad English on 12.01.2020 at 14:56 With very few exceptions, I somehow agree with most of your dislikes even though it makes both of us sound like snobby purists. I typically stick with black, death, doom, grind, post, sludge, and stoner with some thrash and deathcore thrown in. I've tried for years to get into other metal genres without success, and the entirety of the drone/noise/industrial sector has pretty much done nothing to capture my interest.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 15.01.2020 at 07:54 Diference between you and me 90% of roadburnes likes you here on MS, but 90% hates me, its a difference, you can insult suxer bands, people are silent, if I do, they scream. I like doom , most of subgenres, black metal (unless its raw whit drum programming) , speed, heavy, thrash, old school dead from old days . I start listen power now, I regret I ignore it when I was wrong influenced in MS , now I like it. Those new genres and weird genres, I think you need get into those in teenage days or early 20's. I doubt man in 35 or how the frog old I am, Stoner is OK. I am in MS , MA and check new bands in my genres, all new bands what I think can be good I try to listen. Some weird genre, sorry men sjould have long bair or short hair but some metal image, if they have suits or hawai hip hop panths I cant get into it. I am to old.

I don't see all the core genres as metal anyway (Except grindcore) So I'd say Symphonic Power Metal would be up there. Most new prog stuff I despise too

German power thrash metal uhgggg! Many of these so called gothic metals. Also most of core bands, specially bands like Jiner! What's with Jinjer ffs? the most overrated band that it's getting annoying to even hear of them.

Hmm... it depends. Nu metal or alternative would be way too easy choice, but there are some really good albums here and there, so it's not all bad. Metalcore or Deathcore can't despise just because, well, I have never really bothered to listen to them. People seem to hate them anyhow, so maybe I haven't missed anything too fancy or interesting. One thing I know I don't like is anything mixing distorted guitar and symphonic sensibilities. Maybe I'm just an bitter and humorless lump of anti-humanity or metal elitist or whatever, but I just don't think these two mix well at all. Didn't have any trouble with this stuff back in the late 90's and early 2000's when they used some crappy digitized samples and synths.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 16.03.2020 at 00:24 Very intricate sound, little melody, oscillating rhythm, in reality I find that a sound that it aint fluid, difficult to like

Written by Marcelo Hissa on 16.03.2020 at 00:35 Same, for the most part. The lack of structure is difficult to follow and if I have to immerse myself in 30-50 minutes of purposely disjointed rhythms then I'd honestly rather do just about anything else. There are some albums I really like that are considered avant-garde but I don't think I'll ever be able to say I'm into avant-garde music.

Well there are a lot of avant-garde bands which do weird just for the sake of weird. But the ones with consistent songwriting can be really neat

I tend to cherry pick the stuff I like from nearly all genres of metal but generally speaking nearly all power metal and anything which veers towards chest thumping macho cheese. I don't care for much metalcore either but I don't despise it, I just don't choose to listen to much of it.
