General metal, thrash metal and stuff like prog metal etc will always gets a lot of participation on here, whereas stuff like black metal is a more specialized sub-genre and the voting fanbase will be a lot lower.

Nothing wrong with including it, but imo best to put up a popular sub-genre for the next battle.

I think you overestimate the amount of people who give a flying **** about most prog metal on this site.

Also, while I don't wish to blow my own trumpet (can't even play one) I should perhaps point out to Spike that my own "Love or Hate?" thread has received in excess of seven thousand views and a whole lot of participation, so there's that. Plenty of journals too if he's interested in reading. Ahem: Metal Month III coming in October... \m/

I guarantee that you'll get more participation with a prog metal battle than with a black metal one, I mean who the **** wants to listen to black metal, get depressed and then hang themselves

I like one album by Dream Theater, and I don't even like it all that much.
