What area of the diverse death metal genre do you like the most?

I included the ones that are included in other sub-genres on MMA in the poll (Which explains why Extreme Power Metal is an option on a death metal poll!). And yes I did go a little overboard with the options, but I tried to cover every possible basis. So hopefully I didn't miss any.

Mine is technical death.

I just call all death metal simply death metal. LOL

I guess most of my favorite death metal bands would be old-school, but I like quite a bit of death-thrash, tech death, and brutal death. The only one I don't like is deathcore (Although admittedly I haven't heard much deathcore.) and I don't know what slam death metal is.

I didn't know that melodic metalcore was considered to have anything major to do with death metal. What you're describing sounds more like melodic deathcore to me.

Different way of saying the same thing I guess. Melodic metalcore is the more common term. Melodic death core just emphasises the death influence perhaps.

Tech and prog for me, because they blend a lot. Voted tech though.

Yeah that´s pretty much it for me too, but I do appreciate death-thrash like Invocator, Defleshed, and Demolition Hammer a lot too. In fact I´ve given death-thrash my vote.

This is a difficult one. I like prog-tech stuff like Obscura, Atheist, and Death as well as weird stuff like Pestilence's "Spheres", but at the same time I love simple stuff like Obituary, Bolt Thrower, and Cianide. There's plenty of stuff which is complex without being verly texhnical or prog, like Carcass' "Necroticism" or Morta Skuld. I like melodeath too, but primarily old school stuff like At The Gates and Carcass' "Heartwork". I like "Swansong" and Entombed's "Wolverine Blues" and some other death n roll stuff, but I can't stand a band like Debauchery. For some reason, I am not a big fan of bands like Morbid Angel or Cannibal Corpse. I acknowledge that they're very influential bands and very good muscians, but, for some reason, they never really appealed to me.

I like AOR death metal. That is death metal versions of Barry Manilow, Helen Reddy and Barbara Streisand. LOL! Just kidding, of course

Great job, HMCat. You certainly covered all ground. I like ALL death metal but i'm partial to tech DM myself so i'm voting for that. 

Not sure what the difference between avant-garde DM and tech would be though :)

I wouldn't call almost all tech death I've heard avant-garde. By avant-garde death metal I mean something like Azure Emote.

Hmm I could happily vote for tech or prog here since I like it best when it's both.
