House on speed. I was really into house music a while back but I don't dig that stuff. I also pretty much hate trance.

I thought this thread was specifically about metal subgenres? Maybe it should be moved.

The vocals on a lot of black metal and it's ilk completely ruin it for me. If there were any instrumental bands I could probably get into them, but growling or squealing will almost always kill a song. To me it just sounds like completely cheesy manufactured aggression.

I have a similar issue with black metal, but it's not the vocals that bug me, it's the keyboards. I can't count the number of times I've heard a black metal song that I thought would've been pretty good if it weren't ruined by the cheesy-ass keyboard.

Im generally not a fan of metal, or it's sub-genres. Mainly because everytime i put on a metal album it makes me want to shotgun a 12 of lucky and cause a ****ing rampage.
The sub-genres i tend to stay away from. Are power/grind/death/glam/nu/black, and every other sub-genre excluding stoner metal.
Venom, and sabbath are the only "black" metal bands i enjoy. Dont ask me why, because i honestly dont know.
Stoner metal/rock (Sludge) is the main type of metal i can listen to. Mainly because stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo and features low-tuned guitars, a bass-heavy sound, melodic vocals, and 'retro' production, putting me in a relaxed state of mind. Minus the rampage induced grindcore etc etc.
Good examples of some stoner metal bands, if interested are..........

-Sleep
-Electric wizard
-Bongzilla

Top three stoner metal bands imo. (Would have added weedeater, but their vocals piss me the **** off)

PS: take a listen to Red Fang, a awesome thrash metal band i was recently introduced to.

What the hell dude, that's not proper black metal. Keyboards are only good when used by Windir, all other bands that overuse them to the point of prominence are usually utter ****e like Dummy Burger.

I was under the impression that for example Emperor was considered proper black metal. No?

I don't like Emperor at all, but a lot of elitist black metal fans seem to. A few of their albums are ok, but yeah, the keyboards are cheesy as hell. Proper black metal sounds more like Drudkh.

Well, I'd be interested in checking them out then. Reading up about them quickly it sounds like they aren't actually straight black metal but rather a mix of black metal and folk metal. I have one Drudkh song and I have to say I wasn't that impressed by it but is there a particular album you might recommend, one of their more straight up black metal albums maybe?

I wasn't saying the cheesy keyboard were in all black metal, by the way, just that I had heard a lot of it where I think "man, this would be a pretty good song if it weren't for that keyboard".
