[PhillyJ66]

i'd say mine would have to be thrash. newer thrash like trivium, and the haunted, and good ol' thrash, like slayer and iced earth

[The_Gatekeeper_]

edit:forgot Prog Metal :/

opeth ftw ;)

I don't really like classiftying heavy metal into a bunch of smaller more specific genres :p it's all about how well they play. I myself adore Children of Bodom and really enjoy Dragonfire. :eek: slayer good trash xD

[DouglasFirB]

What category do Warrant fit into? ;) ;) ;)

[DarkestHour]

Could you change "Brutal Metal" to "Brutal Death Metal". No such thing as Brutal Metal.

But yes...Brutal Death is my fav. I just love the speed, heavyness, dark atmosphere, and horrifing lyrics in it.

[Mick]

Thrash, Power, GrindCore and Hardcore/Metalcore

[Incomplete]

thrash rules man :P

[Unleashed Hell]

i must say u forgot a few subgenre of metal: viking metal, doom metal, folk metal, epic folk metal, industrial metal, grind metal, gore metal.
hmm, kinda hard choosing my favorite one, cuz i hear em all, apart from black, grind, gore brutal, and very little death. but must say that my favorite bands are
Disturbed(Hardcore, i think, although some fools call it NU metal)

Falconer(Power Metal)
Soil(Hardcore)
Deathstars(Industrial Metal)
Ensiferum(Power Folk Metal)
Amon Amarth(Viking Metal)
Iron Maiden(British Metal/Metal Pioneers)
Metallica(Old-Thrash, Now-Hard Rock).
Aria(Russian Power Metal)
Black Obelisk(Russian Thrash/Classic Metal-Like the pioneers style.)

[Despair]

from the ones that are there, power metal

[Iron Maiden]

Iced Earth is Prog Metal.

Umm. No sir, they aren't. Iced Earth is Power/Speed Metal. They may sound like Prog or Thrash but that is only because they are more of a modern power metal group.

[Akaruz]

Metal Pionners and Gothic Metal ( if you consider Type-o-negative Gothic metal :P ) or Moonspell

[DarkestHour]

Dude, Prog Metal is an more agressive form of Power, Prog hence Progessive.

As you see, they gain influence from all kinds of styles to make what IE is.
