I vote for Traditional. But Classic is better because I love Trad, Power, Thrash, Epic, Symphonic and Progressive... In definitive I love all the genres of Power (Classic) Metal Revival of 90's!


But the vote is for the LEAST favorite genre. Or did I misunderstand something?

Oh my God! My mistake!

Grindcore is a genre that I hate!

I am confused, vote taken by the enthusiasm of the genre that I love , reversing the direction of the application.

I apologize to you all.

I love those classic genres, too.

Grindcore gets hate because it's probably the least accessible. That or Avant-garde metal. And grindcore doesn't have the intellectual associations, so that's probably why it's being hated on.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

grindcore, eveything else that ends with -core, glam metal, gothic, power, symphonic etc. also all 98,9 % of thrash, trad., prog, industrial, death, black, avant garde and alt. metal.

there are however tremendous bands in genres of wich nearly everything else is shite

There is A LOT of metalcore I honestly don't like, but I can say the same for thrash metal, black metal, traditional metal, progressive metal and so on.
Looking through my iTunes list, I honestly have more metalcore than I do thrash metal, which is particularly interesting because thrash metal was my first true love as far as extreme metal genres go, but I've largely gotten bored of it now because of bands like Trivium doing their boring as shit "retro thrash" thing.
There's plenty of good metalcore bands, but like any genre you need to dig deep.
You can't just listen to the generic crap like Bullet For My Valentine  and say "OH MAN ALL METALCORE IS CRAP", because there is plenty of stuff that rises.
While not everyone is going to be a fan, I think it's hard to deny band from the metalcore genre like Periphery, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, and Between the Buried and Me (although to me, BTBAM is 25 per cent metalcore, 25 per cent death metal, 25 per cent prog rock and 25 per cent prog metal, but for the sake of it lets call them metalcore because the band members obviously fit into that aesthetic) are extremely creative bands that have pushed the boundaries and have even gone on to influence the non-core genres of metal

Except for the Trivium part because I enjoy Shogun, I agree with most of what Harry says.

I also added in an important band you forgot. Wink

I won't vote either because I like at least a few bands in each of these genres. But if I had to choose one, it would probably be glam.

But seriously, sometimes there's not much better than Pig Destroyer or Cephalic Carnage.


Not familiar with Pig Destroyer, but I do like some of Cephalic Carnage's work. Lucid Interval is my favorite by far! Clap


Hehe, I love you guys...

You can tell you came from ProgArchives

Still, Pig Destroyer kick serious ass. So do Cephalic Carnage. You should check out Terrifyer - Pig Destroyer Jeff, right up your street if you like Lucid Interval

I just started getting into Pig Destroyer, but I agree that they kick so much ass.

Well i don't like the most of Black Metal because of their fake "satanic" lyrics and because of the noise they produce and it's far far far away from the real heavy sound. Second the most of the Metalcore because of their fake "antisocial" lyrics. And third the most of the European Power Metal bands because they have no power  at all (put anyone of those "neoclassical-power-European metallers" next to Armored Saint and you'll HEAR the difference).

^.. yeah.. I don't get into the more 'extreme' metal. Most of it I suppose is juvenile posturing .. if they were good looking they'd be hair metal and get lots of women.. so if they aint'... just be angry and pissed at the world since the only people that would meet them backstage are similar loser boys and that can't be much fun hahah. 

and that which isn't...  run very ...very far away.  Those people are scary..

By the way, according to our site half of the bands mentioned in the first post are not Alt Metal.


Yea, I was gonna say... Anyway, my least favorite is definitely glam metal. I have probably one album in both the industrial and Power metal genres, never found anything that I loved in either....not that I ever looked very hard.

Ministry started as an electro-industrial band but very soon became a brilliant industrial-metal with massive riffs and cut-to-the-bone lyrics real heavy band. And of course Psalm 69 is a metal monument.

Come on boys! Why glam? You don't like women? Personally I love the most of all these party hard rock/metal bands!
And by the way the members of these band many times are much better musicians than many "extreme" and "heavy" guys...

Sure it depends the band but at the most of the cases I think I'm right. And yes many extreme bands have great musical skills and many of them by the years improve themselfs as mucisians. For example Voi Vod. When this band started they didn't know how to move their own hands and look at them now! But now you can't call them extreme band...
