Whoa, ok, that's broad enough that I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
Plus, I'm getting into new things all the time. "My ****" wouldn't be quite the same now as years ago.
But in any case, I'm incredibly glad metal has, to a large extent, broken away from swords & fantasy, blood & gore, misanthropy & anti-religious screeds. There's an impressively varied rainbow of approaches now more than ever in metal. Of course, even more importantly, musically. Not just in terms of lyrical themes and visual imagery.
Musically, I like colorful bands and just in general music with some dimensions to it. Something like Amaranthe might well just be a fancy of mine with a ticking clock attached to it. Other bands, I'm into in a more deep rooted way. But in any case, I don't have much interest in current metal bands that want to serve me the same dish I would have gotten in 1991.
