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


Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'm going to get some of the earlier CC albums as well. Are they any good? I immensely dislike the brutal death metal on Anomalies, but I love the progressive and technical grindcore style on Lucid Interval. Thumbs Up


Well I think that Expliting Dysfunction is pretty similar in style to Lucid Interval, but my only beef with it is the horrific production. If you can see past that I think it may be even more experimental than the former. Check this sample out:



Off the same album, presents the style pretty well I think. Personally I love it.

I don't know that I've heard all of these categories but I know that I don't like death metal nor black metal.  I suspect that I probably wouldn't like grindcore either.  I voted for death metal but neither of those categories are my bag.

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.

I absolutely cannot stand Anal Cunt's music, but some of their stuff is absolutely hilarious! The video that goes along with it is priceless as well!LOL


I feel the same. I don't particularly like their music, but I think that they're pretty much an anti-music band anyway, but their lyrics are extermely funny.

Black Kvlt metal, for the reasons posted in my Hello thread.

Metalcore is generally pretty balls though. And Nu Metal I don't really consider metal.

Awwwww Grindcore is second?

Power Metal is probably my least favourite. Never really got it, and a lot of it is really cheesy.

OK, since this poll is based on personal preference (or lack thereof), I've changed the title from 'worst' (which is an objective statement) to 'least favourite'. Thanks a lot to everyone for having kept the thread perfectly civil so far, avoiding the mindless bashing that is far too often to be seen in similar threadsSmile.

I find the whole folk-metal scene very trivial and generic. So I voted for that.
There once was one great folk-metal band Skyclad but everything that's been released in the 00's is a formulaic sznoozefest.

 The same goes for Gothic Metal but that genre had more great pioneers (Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Tiamat, ...)

I don't like most of the glam-metal thing neither but that's more a matter of taste. I'm sure there's some great stuff in there.

Glam, but anything 'glam' annoys me to be honest.

I dislike most Alternative Metal...

I dislike a lot of Glam Metal, but the genre has a few fantastic bands...

And I can't stand most grindcore. Just noisy 30-second songs with no musical value IMO. There are a few exceptions, but I generally dislike this genre.

I voted grindcore.

I was tempted to vote for Glam Metal, which I loathe as a genre - even if that includes some controversial bands, such as Alice Cooper and even Kiss >>> for me Glam metal is an 80's thing, not 70's, but I understand they are included).... but I must that the music is not the un-listenable form of metal (except bon anJovWinki)
Some of these extreme form of metal music are much harder on my eardrums.
 
I went for either industrial or Grindcore (I already forgot)EmbarrassedLOL
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Grindcore for me, it's a combination of all of my least favourite metal sub-genres and is thus insufferable to my troubled and writhing earholes. I'm too traditionalist for a lot of the extreme genres. Thrash is the exception to the rule which I love and enjoy very often. But the majority of death metal and all that followed it, is just too much for an 'old school' denim and pint headbanger like myself. LOL
