Im generally not a fan of metal, or it's sub-genres. Mainly because everytime i put on a metal album it makes me want to shotgun a 12 of lucky and cause a ****ing rampage.
The sub-genres i tend to stay away from. Are power/grind/death/glam/nu/black, and every other sub-genre excluding stoner metal.
Venom, and sabbath are the only "black" metal banRAB i enjoy. Dont ask me why, because i honestly dont know.
Stoner metal/rock (Sludge) is the main type of metal i can listen to. Mainly because stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production, putting me in a relaxed state of mind. Minus the rampage induced grindcore etc etc.
Good examples of some stoner metal banRAB, if interested are..........
-Sleep
-Electric wizard
-Bongzilla
Top three stoner metal banRAB imo. (Would have added weedeater, but their vocals piss me the **** off)
PS: take a listen to Red Fang, a awesome thrash metal band i was recently introduced to.
