Favorite metal genre. Post bands/songs.

Inspired by the recent "favorite type of music"-poll, i wanted to ask the metal-listeners here what their favorite metal genre is.

Also, if there are "newer" (1995-now) songs/bands you like, post them via embedded youtube-movie. Please post only one embedded youtube-movie per post.

I like folk metal the most, mainly because instruments/language/topics.

This is a folk metal band from Switzerland. The name "Eluveitie" mean "I am a Helvetian" in Gallic (Helvetians were a Gallic tribe in nowadays Switzerland). The often sing in Gallic (although a dead language), and use bagpipe/hurdy-gurdy/vielle in addition to the metal instruments.

All of this. Mostly leaning towards progressive but I love Technical, Melodic (both not listed) and Death.

thrash metal for me. five finger death punch, shadows fall

THRASH TIL' DEATH!!!!! \m/ \m/

I like a bunch of stuff. Picking out a subgenre is too difficult, but I suppose I would reluctantly have to go with Thrash.

Kreator - Twisted Urges

My music folder is 33GB cause I love music and it's hard for me to choose a favorite metal genre but I had to go with Gothic Metal with Progressive Metal a close second!
A good Gothic Metal band is Flowing Tears!! =3

What does true metal stand for? Black Sabbath? if so you could have just put Heavy Metal.

Kinda outgrew metal now, but when I was younger, I listened to Black Sabbath, Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, Dragonforce and Dimmu Borgir.

How do you out grow metal?

Beats me. Just got tired of it, I guess. Mellowed out a lot.

the faceless -Pestilence

Usually means it was 'just a phase'. I know I've went through some of them. But I always come back to the old hammer to the anvil music.

SPEED METAL.
DRAGONFOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCE.

My favorite is actually a sub-genre of Death Metal (Melodic Death Metal. There is a decent amount of difference actually.) So I just voted Death Metal.

Always down for some Nile anyway.

Or maybe some Miseration.

Honestly, anything with Christian Alvestam is automatically awesome by default, cause that man can sing like a motherfucker. Amazing clean vocal range, and an equally wide growling range. Go check out some Scar Symmetry (First three albums only) Or Solution .45

Now this is some good metal, I'd also throw in some bands that I guess would fall more under "Folk Metal" such as Finntroll, Elvenking and Ensiferum.

Although I don't really listen to metal that much nowadays.

I as well voted for Death metal because of its sub genre of Melodic Death Metal (Melodeath). The band I would need to praise is Definatly! Between the Buried and Me. If you listen to the album 'Colors' you will understand.

Metal was my 1st love, but i'm not keen on it much at all >.>
System of a down are my all time favourite, but they aren't generic metal. So i like things like that :L Middle eatstern-influenced metal? xD
Maximum the hormone are also great. I have a great reason to like them so excuse me if i get defensive when people think i like them because they're japanese >.>

SO, i hope that actually answered your question >.>

I love all kinds of Metal! Metal is in my veins regardless of what the sub genre is! But, is I had to choose one, I'd go with... THRASH!!! why? Because THRASH IS KING!


but I also love, Melodic Death, Melodic Black, Industrial, Alternative, Power, Glam [size=10](Don't hate!)[/h], Nu [size=10](yeah, yeah, I know what your thinking, and frankly I don't give a rats ass!)[/h], folk, speed, Gothic, New Wave of British and Extreme. Fuck Yeah!
