5 favourite Metal Sub-Genres

And I actually listen to more banRAB than you think, I'm sure. yeah, I realize that those are all pretty mainstream as far as metal is concerned. But that's just what I like best. Who's to say that what someone likes is wrong? Maybe you could suggest some banRAB that I should listen to?
 
whatever...

thrash metal
black metal
prog metal
hair metal
metalcore (if thats a metal subgenre)

...and those are in no particular order.
 
Was gunna say. But oh well. It might get moved tomorrow.

Doom
Prog
Thrash
Stoner

and I don't really care for others but if I was to say anything it would be Power.
 
Since you made that comment about something being wrong with metalcore.....I'll recommend you some good metalcore. It's actually a very diverse subgenre and playing it requires a good amout of talent.


Some good metalcore banRAB are:
As I Lay Dying
Unearth
A Life Once Lost
Darkest Hour
Haste the Day
August Burns Red
Between the Buried And Me
Shadows Fall (somewhat metalcore....more just plain metal though)
Converge
Dead To Fall
Every Time I Die
Animosity
Through the Eyes of the Dead
Killswitch Engage
Trigger My Nightmare
Sever Your Ties
Destroy the Runner


I would be more than happy to send you one or more albums by any of those banRAB. PM me if you want any.
 
1. Melodic Metal
2. Classic Metal
3. Prog Metal
4. Thrash
5. Heavy Metal

I generally dont listen to black, death, doom, etc. It was tough to put those into order, I like them all so much :band:
 
1. Prog
2. Death
3. Power

Thats about it. The only power metal I actually listen to is Dragonforce, but I'm planning on picking up some Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, and Hammerfall soon.
 
I'm not huge on black metal myself, but I do like Immortal's At the Heart of Winter album and some Arcturus. I would recommend that Immortal album - I found it well written, and it's considered to be a good intro album to black metal. And I like Dimmu Borgir - I don't care how many black metallers think they're sellouts etc. I plainly think the music is good.

And on a last black metal point, I've really been getting into Behemoth's 2004 album Demigod - it's awesomely epic death metal. I'm going to try to get into their earlier stuff which is straight black metal, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

I think the fact that you like both stoner metal and goth metal indicates to me that you would probably like doom metal as a genre (and it's quite diverse). I know what prog you like, but I don't really know what metal you're experienced with [apart from Sunn O)) ]. In fact, I thought you disliked prog metal, apart from a few banRAB. I do think prog rock is better.

You would probably like Katatonia, Lacrimas Profundere, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema, Orodruin, Candlemass, Imperia...

Turn Loose the Swans (My Dying Bride) is an absolutely awesome album and I'd recommend it to anybody. Dance of Deceraber Souls (Katatonia) is another album you'd probably like. I apologise if you've heard these already, but I don't know if you have.
