What would Maximum the Hormone go under?

speeddemon · 07-19-2008, 04:05 PM

Making me choose a type of metal sucks...but i guess I'd have to go with black the most...that or melodic death.

super kid · 07-19-2008, 04:09 PM

I say speed.

ViciousDelicious · 07-19-2008, 04:21 PM

Damnit..I meant Avant Garde, accidentally voted Metalcore...D:

Crashfan3 · 07-19-2008, 04:32 PM

I voted Power Metal, but it was tough.

Some bands I like include DragonForce, Sonata Arctica, Freedom Call, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, The Eleventh Commandment, Korn...

RB_IcePh0enix · 07-19-2008, 08:55 PM

What about progressive metalcore or mathcore? Stuff like Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero, The Dillinger Escape Plan. I think that would probably be it, but I do like metalcore (real metalcore, not like A7X and stuff).

There's too much splintering in genres, especially metal and techno. You can't expect the OP to know all of them off the top of their head. If the necessary research were to be done, this poll would be absurdly large. There isn't any point in adding all of them anyway, the votes would be too few to decide anything based on them. Just generalize your music, even if it hurts inside. The moment will pass.

**Heartseeker7** · 07-19-2008, 09:52 PM

I listen to all types of metal.
And I also do play in a band.
I enjoy Metalcore and power metal.

**rsr2** · 07-19-2008, 10:41 PM

I voted for Death Metal

But I do enjoy all metal.

JKPolk · 07-19-2008, 10:50 PM

Hey Verruckter judging by your tastes you might like In Mourning. They're heavily influenced by Opeth and it shows, give them a listen if you haven't.

DragonForce isn't metal. They're crap. They can't even play their own songs live. Maybe if they'd stop drinking, they'd do a little better

They are power metal, just really, really bad power metal.

I'm heavily addicted to Tyr right now, so I'll pass for the moment but remind me in a few months :P

Skelerex · 07-20-2008, 01:57 AM

Yeah, I just listened to them again, and they are power metal. Somehow I didn't quite remember them like that in my head at all; I remembered them being a lot more progressive. Excuse my mistake. I'll agree that they're not very good.

**TheRapingDragon** · 07-20-2008, 09:40 AM

I would have preferred a poll where you can have multiple choices, not just one. I mean I listen to most metal, let's see from your list:

Black Metal - Yes, lots of bands.
Death Metal - Yes, lots of bands.
Thrash Metal - Yes, some bands.
Speed Metal - Ya probably lots of bands.
Heavy Metal - Ya, tons of bands.
Power Metal - Ya, lots of bands.
Stoner Metal - Uh, what? This isn't really a genre. The closest I can think would be "Sludge Metal" which includes bands like Isis or Deterior.
Nu Metal - This genre is bad, if I like any bands in this genre then it's very little.
Metalcore - Maybe some. Again, probably not much.
Avant-Garde Metal - Again, tons.

Also, Prog-Metal is a huge genre that isn't included in your list (Dream Theater / Symphony X, etc). Also Tech-Metal (Meshuggah / Spiral Architect, etc).

Verruckter · 07-20-2008, 03:44 PM

I'd say tech metal is more of a... specification. It can be tech death, tech power, tech prog, etc.

**TheRapingDragon** · 07-20-2008, 03:50 PM

I really only mentioned Tech-Metal as a genre because of Spiral Architect. In all honesty they are just Tech-Metal, not anything else. Meshuggah could be Tech-Extreme or Tech-Death metal but I guess I'd still have it as a genre.

I mean tech-power doesn't really exist does it? What power metal bands have you listened to that are pure technical based? Same with most other genres who have distinctive sounds, the technical aspect seems to be unique.

OldSchoolMusic · 07-27-2008, 02:20 AM

Can't decide which between Heavy and Power, while Speed comes in a very close second. =D

RB_IcePh0enix · 07-27-2008, 08:54 PM

For good metalcore (not A7X and Trivium crap) check out Converge. They are awesome.

And can someone show me a song that can give me an idea of what Avant Garde metal is?
