Lol, people who listen to a lot of metal always make a lot of drama concerning what is metal and what is not. I don't get it.
Are you unable to accept that shitty music exists in all genres, no matter what? : >
Anyways, genres are bullshit, very inacurate, without any rules.
Just what every dude thinks for himself really.

Voted for doom, sludge and prog.

STONER & DOOM

Anything that's over-produced or over-engineered isn't metal, that's pop.

So...What's your favorite type of METAL

You can vote for three different options, and if your tastes change, you can change them.

Now, before you ask, nu-metal, metalcore etc. IS NOT FUCKING METAL. So it's not included on this list. Apologies if I have left out a genre; just make do with what I have given you.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT! Just realized I forgot NWOBHM!

I like Christian Metal

does Metal Gear count as a particular kind of metal too? :3

I don't see how, it's no different than christian jazz, christian country, etc. Metal is just a music genre.

What does christianity have to do with any music genre, except maybe for the dressing style of the band and the moronic lyrics?

With you on this one.

Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Haste The Day, Whitechapel, August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, Parkway Drive and I Killed The Prom Queen.

Christian metal is awesome. What they lack in lyrics, they make up for in brutality. Sure, it might not be everyones cup of tea, but I like the fact that they're able to do what they love, play metal, and not really give a shit about what people think of them (christian metal is despised by most). A lot of people discard it, without really paying much attention to it. Christian metal is the same as any other metal, just with different lyrics.

And incase anyone was wondering, they still basically stick to the metal genre. It's not all: "God is great, I want to marry him". In fact, it's more along the lines of: "Life's shit, people are shit, I need Gods help". Don't diss it until you've actually listened to the music.


PS: I don't like to put labels on metal. Technically, everything comes under the genre of 'heavy metal'. Black Sabbath is heavy metal, Cannibal Corpse is heavy metal. All of it is heavy metal. Except Polka Metal, that shit makes it's own fucking genre.

I went with Progressive/Doom/Power.

As far as power goes, only Iced Earth/Demons $ Wizards. For the other two, Opeth and Katatonia.
