>>74940780
>listens to non downtuned metal
opinion disregarded

Only recently got into Metal and I honestly cab say that I enjoy each genre I listened to (Traditional, Death, Thrash, Black)
My least favorite I guess is Stoner but thats because I didnt like Dopesmoker that much but there's still some good albums I liked (Boris ones)

>>74940390
It's not "no true scotsman" to say that genres that originated outside of metal aren't metal. Metalcore arose from hardcore and deathcore came from metalcore, alt metal is grunge or alt rock with more metal influenced instrumentation, post-black arose from shoegaze, nu metal is hip hop with distorted guitar riffs (all riffs very distinct from any metal genre as well) for beats. grindcore is arguable but some would say it arose more from hardcore and metal bands in that vein are grind/death or powerviolence. With the sole exception of grindcore, all are more influenced by another genre than they are by metal.

>he doesn't like black metal
VVIMPS AND POSERS, LEAVE THE HALL

I only listen to metal in spurts, and it's usually related to or derivative of Doom in some way, but I have a couple favorites of black, death, and thrash, although it's usually in the winter time when I listen to those.

>>74940390
OP here Metal core is a subgenre of mixing metallic punk and hard core punk it is a pure punk subgenre people get it confused with metal just cus it's called metalcore

1) Black Metal/Atmoblack/Blackgaze
2) Doom/Sludge/Drone Metal
3) Progressive Metal
4) Melodeath
5) Alternative Metal

Nu-metal isn't metal you guys. It's just post-hardcore with hip hop and industrial influences. Alternative metal also isn't metal. It's just metallic Alt Rock.

>>74938336
-Melodeath Insomnium, Soilwork
-Symphonic Kamelot
-Prog/djent Tesseract, SikTH
-metalcore (fuck you metal is literally in the name) Killswitch engage

2. raw black metal
3. US power metal
4. old school death metal
5. death/doom metal

mostly listen to
>doom/sludge
>prog
>alt
>thrash

i also like death metal instrumentals but the vocals sound like the cookie monster so i can't take it seriously

Hard its been a while I listened to any metal album.
My favorite is probably Black Metal since it offers more diverse sounds.

Black Metal - Symphonic, Raw, Progressive (Shining, Öxxö Xööx, Chtonic, Storm Lord, Satyricon, Borknagar, Emperor, SAMEL, Belphegor, Anaal Nathrakh, Naumachia)
Death Metal - Melodic, Technical (Dying Fetus, Carcass, Cephalic Carnage, Spawn of Possession)
Doom - Funeral (My Dying Bride, Katatonia)
Industrial Metal - (Ministry)
Deathcore - (Animosity, Chelsea Grin)

Anyone here ever heard of some industrial black metal band with roman numerals in its name? Its not Opera IX. I used to have one of their albums but I cant remember the bands name.

>>74938336
Prog is king.
It keeps all the other genres fresh.

Black
Slam
Grind
Doom
Death

Never mind I found it band was called The Project Hate MCMXCIX. This band actually doesn't really sound industrial more like all over the place.

I don't listen to much metal but I'd have to say old school death and all all sorts of black metal are my favorite. I feel like DM hasn't actually evolved much from its roots which is why I don't find any new bands interesting, while BM has a lot of various sounds from its raw and primitive roots to more atmospheric, progressive and even psychedelic. And I'm NOT talking about atmospheric BM, because that one is boring, but BM in general is very cold and dark which is a feeling and atmosphere that I think other subgenres are missing

>>74938336
old school funeral doom metal only

Numetal is unironically the only metal can enjoy.

Avant-Garde (Kayo Dot)
Folk (Primordial)
Sludge (Subrosa)
Prog (Ne Obliviscaris)
Tech Death (Gorod)
Atmospheric Black Metal (Mare Cognitum)

Black metal, drone metal, and death metal desu, mostly the ""experimental"" bands though I like some more traditional stuff sometimes as well

Crossover thrash
Crust punk
Blackgaze
Post black metal
Industrial metal, but really only like three ministry albums that aren't twitch and with sympathy aka their best albums.

>>74938336
Death metal easily, but specifically death thrash like Revocation. Fast death metal is much better than the slow stuff.
