    My first obsession is music. Especially metal. Thrash, Death, Black, Grindcore, Nu-Metal, Industrial, Post and Pre Hardcore. Also, Punk, and 90's Alternative. Are there any other metal heads here?

    Hell to the yeah! I'm a rapper but I still have mostly metal on my phone. Dying Fetus is one of my favorites!

    Awesome! Love DF! I've been blasting Lividity, Morbid Angel, Children of Bodom and Kreator on the 30 min ride to and from work. Gotta start/end the day right!

    Yeah. I like prog metal, speed metal, power metal, heavy metal. Screw it, I like all metal except for like doom, and I can even stand some of that. I like pretty much all music.

    Hair metal is really the only kind I don't like.

    Ignorant about most metal here, seems an impenetrable meta-genre to me because there's so many subgenres within subgenres, and I have to be in the right mood for it. I quite like Mastodon and Motorhead, a little bit of Megadeth, Iron Maiden, what little I've heard of Opeth, and some of Porcupine Tree's heavier material. Even these groups all sound completely different.

    It's when things start sounding like Dream Theater that I get turned off. Ugh.

    Quite enjoy metal (among many other genres), but I don't like how many metal fans will go all batshit crazy if you don't know every single song/lyrics/album of every band you ever listened to.

    Currently listening to Iron Maiden's 'Wrathchild' - I forgot how tight and bullshit-free this band could be compared to a lot of others. That's what I like a lot about Motorhead too

    All good stuff here. I recently really started getting into Megadeth. I can't believe it took me this long! And Opeth... blows my mind! Favorite song is Bleak. And, yeah I know what you guys are saying about subgenres and lyrics. It gets really complicated. Too complicated. Some metalheads will get downright offended if you like Cannibal Corpse AND Slipknot. I like whatever I like and I'm not going to ridicule anyone else's tastes.

    This is truth. Music snobbery knows no limits of genre.

    Some of the nicest most down to earth folks I've met have been ardent metalheads

    Hell yeah! I love almost every metal genre and some related genres. Death Metal (Old School, Technical, Brutal, etc, this is like my faveourite type of music in the history of ever), Black Metal (Melodic and Symphonic are fine as well), Power Metal, Industrial Metal, Thrash Metal, Doom Metal (mostly Traditional and Funeral), Folk Metal, Sludge Metal, and yeah I listen to some Deathcore and Nu-Metal. I'm also a big fan of Blackened Death Metal and Industrial Black Metal. Some bands I listen to are really experimental and I just tag them as Avant-garde Metal. The genres are all over the place!

    Generally, the more aggressive, the more I like it. I really dig Dismember, Dissection, Bloodbath, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Massacra, Deathspell Omega, Anaal Nathrakh, 1349... and there's no way I'd be able to recall them all! xD

    I made a list of all the bands I like and it was in the 300s. Since then I've probably doubled that. Then I've seen a ton live. Fear Factory. Cannibal Corpse. As I Lay Dying. Black Dahlia Murder. Jungle Rot. Deicide. Lacuna Coil. Opeth. Atreyu. Soulfly. Severed Savior. Dark Funeral. Mudvayne. Sworn Enemy. Cold. Underoath. Tool. The Devil Wears Prada. Everytime I Die. Scarlet. Puya... the list goes on and on...

    A Day To Remember are my favourite metal band! I know it's kinda off-topic, but I like alternative pop-punk as well (*cough, cough*...My Chemical Romance...) XD

    I wouldn't describe myself as a metalhead, but I like what I've heard of Opeth, Blind Guardian, Pain of Salvation but especially Edge of Sanity (Crimson is awesome). Also it's been months since I dipped into it but I remember being interested in some King Diamond as well... can't believe it didn't occur to me to play one of his albums at halloween!

    As I say, I haven't gone headlong into metal yet, but I've skirted around some of it and I like what I've heard :icon_bigg
