Metal fans...

[Totenkopf]

I love almost every kind of metal.
I think currently my favourite band is Sabaton. Power Metal from Sweden.

Spoiler: Sabaton - Ghost Division

 

[PrimoThePro]

Death Metal. I love Dethklok.
GO INTO THE WATER! LIVE THERE! DIE THERE!

 

[Captain Pancake]

I like all kinds of metal so it's hard to pinpoint it down to one specific genre.
Lately though, I've been listening to Opeth and remembering how much I love them.
Fuck yeah.

Same.

 

[jpoon]

I think my favorite would be progressive metal thanks to Opeth and Tool!

Spoiler: Tool - Lateralus

Spoiler: Opeth - Moonlapse Vertigo

That just sounded like such a bastardisation, but damn I think this might just grow on me.

Yeah, it's like a real infant genre. Those guys are decent musicians but nothing special (the other bands in the genre are by and large, even worse), though they are definitely onto something and proves that the two genres can mix (even if they haven't found the exact sweet spot). I just can't wait until a band with the required musical knowledge finds the sweet spot between trance and metal and nails it - it will be truly something to behold if you are a fan of trance as well as metal.

Hmm I see what you mean, still something about them doesn't quite click with me, though the metallica one sounded quite good, I might look into them more.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

As I lay Dying.

Hell yeah.

Oh, and Bring me the Horrizon

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Sigh.

Alrighty, my favourite genre of metal is Stoner Metal. Basically Black Sabbath style doom, heavied up a ton and with a nice hit of psychedelia. Overlaps a bit with doom metal.

Here's some nice examples.

Spoiler

Favourite metal band is from a different genre though, Godflesh. They're more Industrial.


I'm not a huge fan of most industrial music, but Godflesh is so good.

Just commenting to say you have awesome taste... I liked pretty much every single song there...

OT: My favorite genre is Sludge, my favorite band being High on Fire

Song:

 

[Mutie]

Gotta be Thrash, dudes!

 

[ogreloot]

In my opinion, metal is like sex and pizza, even when it's bad it's still good.
As for favortie song/band I have to say Raining Blood/Slayer.

Why thank you my man!

I notice you like High On Fire, who are very good indeed. The singer/guitarist of HOF is also the guitarist of Sleep, Matt Pike.

You might like another band formed from the ashes of Sleep too, Om. They're just bass and drums, but it's very hypnotic.

Oh OM is probably my favorite straight up Doom band. Again, awesome taste.

 

[Oskar K]

Mötley Crüe!
ya.. Glam Metal rocks..

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

black metal! and as for a song...hmm... pretty much anything by arafel, i would accept as the best black metal song ever.

 

[reActionHero]

Thrash, Groove, Industrial, Progressive, Traditional Heavy, Melodic Death...
Ahh, forget, I love all types of METAL!!!

 

[Hades74]

nu metal, black metal, heavy metal, death metal... it goes on

I cant pick favorites but here is my current top 5:


Lordi
Behemoth
Dark Tranquility
Blodsrit
Blodsrit

Note: would do this as a poll but there are too many variatios of metal 28 is it?

I would say the amount of 'metals' is increasing everyday, somewhere on this earth. Even if you just add the country from which an instrument used in the band is from in front of it's original sub-genre, that's a whole new sub-genre! For example Brazilian Metal (Because it has a vuvuzela in it).

OT: I have been listening to some Scottish Pirate Metal recently. The band being Alestorm, the song being Captain Morgan's Revenge.

 

[brass munkey]

Classic metal like Black Sabbath.
