Favorite type of metal (lyrics, genre, fan, Incubus, goth metal)

RedChopin · 01-29-2009, 12:41 PM

My favorite is progressive. It just seems like the most creative music that comes out of metal these days is prog, like Dream Theater(before they started to suck.)

I picked Goth Metal.
Had to go between Symphonic, Power, Death, Doom, Sludge, Prog, Trash, Heavy, etc.
I hope I chose a happy medium.

Pewter and silver are great metals, as is Gold.

Really getting into platinum and titanium lately, too...

hehehehehehe...

I need a life...

Hard for me to say, since "goth metal" sounds nothing at all like "real goth" music, more like stereotypical bs. But a lot of the bands I like are "gothic" (I prefer to call them symphonic).

due to the confusingness of it all I chose black metal.

Some of the genres in this poll confused me. What's "rap metal"? I've never heard any, but I could be wrong!

Rage Against The Machine, if you call them metal.

Rap-Metal isn't really metal. A quick lastfm scan comes up with ICP, RATM, Hollywood Undead, and Incubus, among other lesser known bands.

khfreek · 02-01-2009, 01:02 PM

ah, so it's rapcore

Surell · 02-01-2009, 11:55 PM

I thought it was called Horrorcore.

Incubus is metal? What am I missing here?

I thought an incubus was a demon who liked to shag around a bit?
