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 just speak from personal experience because I've felt the same way... Although my experience is more related to drone but it can be aplicable in your case as well! I remember how I was just looking around in profiles like Earth, Nadja or Sunn O))) and wondered how the hell could I even like this and I stopped trying and kept developing my ear with the genres I already liked and years later I found myself ready and listened to those bands without thinking too much and it suddenly clicked, just like that... effortlessly. In my opinion that's how it should feel when it comes to difficult genres... If suddenly you happen to listen to it effortlessly, well... congratulations: You got into it. Disembowelment's first and only full length is imo a masterpiece of the genre. Written by Boxcar Willy on 18.07.2012 at 18:38 Just spinned this baby while studying. The once Earth apprentice managed to do something like this: One of the best drone tracks ever, simple as that.

Nyogtha seems to be pretty fun! Thanks for that recommendation. Don't find them particularly scary though.  Written by [user id=5630] on 19.07.2012 at 00:09 Nadja is a pretty nice band if you ask me. Their sound doesn't change so much so you can pretty much choose whatever album you want to start but here are a few nice songs. It's just really relaxing ambient-friendly drone. EDIT: Screw the last one I posted. I deleted it.... So here's the whole friggin album instead of one song from it.
