5 favourite Metal Sub-Genres

He means not all this nu metal epic metal and dividing into a billion useless sub genres.
Half the metal today is a tainted waterdown corabined form you can barely tell its metal.
 
really to me metal is metal..cause there are many sub-genres out there, that defining banRAB as a certain kind of metal is pointless.but just to be a good sport...in no order....1.death metal.....2.thrash metal....3.speed metal....4.metalcore....5.industrial metal
 
I listen to all subgenres of metal. But my favourite are:

Doom Metal
Folk/Viking Metal
Tech Death Metal
Melodeath Metal

I'm not going to do 5 genres, because I feel I like these 4 above the other ones. But I do like all metal subgenres in general.


In placing doom as my favourite, I'm including atmospheric/sludge and stoner metal under that banner.
 
If you're looking for a place to start, I'd recommend their newest, In the Absence of Truth. After that, move on to Oceanic, then Panopticon, although all their albums are great. Grab them from me on Slsk.
 
My favourite subgenre wud be:

Nu post second wave neoclassical thrash orientated funk funeral black doom with traces of grindcore with a death metal undertone metal (just created my own subgenre see anyone can do it its easy.)



:banghead: I HATE SUB GENRES SO MUCH.:banghead:
 
I was reading the Funeral Doom thread and thought WTF is Funeral Doom Metal?

First off, how many freaking "sub-genres" are there?

I'm only familiar with Metal. You know... Turn it up to eleven, yell, scream and make a lot of freaking noise metal. The kind parents use to call evil, white noise!

I like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Overkill, Nailborab, Sepultura, Rob (White) Zorabie, Metallica, etc... I guess all I am familiar with then would be what is called "Thrash" Metal. SO what does Type O fall under? Sepultura? Nailborab? Rob Zorabie? I'm SO confused, can someone help me?
 
Basically what Crowquill said. And Isis as stated before is a good example of it. I had only heard of the term abotu a month ago. I thought it pretty much made sense so I decided to use it too.
