Deathcore.
One look at them all can piss me off.

I really can't judge the music of a band by its genre but it can give me a clue . I voted for symphonyc power metal

Metalcore, because there is no single band i like in this genre.

I dislike power metal in general because most of it is cheesy, flowery, effete, poppy and generally lame to my ears. I find it mostly embodies the opposite of the qualities I like in metal, which are the power, rage, and darkness found in death, thrash and (though to a lesser extent) heavy metal. In short, most power metal lacks balls.

You dislike POWER metal, because it embodies the opposite of metal you like which is about POWER....??????? LOL! What a contradiction.

Power metal doesn't have heavy metal????? Lol.

Power metal doesn't have lyrics about darkness??????? LOL.

Doesn't have rage??????? Lol.

Doesn't have lyrics about death?????? Lol.

Most power metal lacks balls????? What, I didn't know metal bands held testicles while they played.... maybe there is a band, or two, out there that literally has testicles beyond their attached ones (where did they chop them off from? - is this extreme, extreme metal?). What do you mean by this statement? Do you mean that most power metal doesn't have enough "power" (yet, it does, and doesn't....huh?) to induce testosterone levels to rise in listeners? Um, I think you're wrong there.... If you're saying the music itself (your music, and/or power metal... which, you disagree, mainly, on the latter), how can music have testosterone?

You might be thinking at this stage my questions are silly. Well, technically the statement "most power metal lacks balls", is a silly, vague statement, that, when you analyse it properly, is nonsensical. Try to give a more precise answer, instead of using metaphors like that; otherwise, you're not addressing the problem of power metal (if any) properly.

As for the OP, I voted for deathcore as the most I despise (from the list given - though, there are others, which I could have put under the other category).

Rant.

Well, I certainly feel a lot of testosterome in the air right now.

I think I like at least one band from every genre. I find really extreme grindcore and goregrind pretty difficult to listen to.

Why the hell is Symphonic Power Metal in here?!

I think that female-fronted Symphonic Metal would fit better here. I know a lot of people that dislike it. Anyway, Kamelot is one of the best metal bands ever. Do you disagree?

Well It's not a popular opinion, I dislike 90% of it. Kamelot is pretty bleh to me. But I do like 3 Inches Of Blood and some Dragonforce never hurts.

really female fronted symphonic power metal stuffs go on my nerve and I disagree with Kamelot is one of the best metal bands, their songs are so boring and I'll never know why people love them so much cause I even can't stand listening to them one complete album.

Kamelot isn't power metal. It's symphonic power. I like power metal, but I find symphonic power (Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Nightwish, Epica, etc.) to be dull as a sack of hammers. I prefer power with a bit of punch, like Sabaton, Iced Earth, 3 Inches of Blood, Edguy and yes, I even prefer DragonForce over boring old Kamelot.

I don't know why all the hate on symphonic power, I'd rather hate those Christian Metal bands. Christian Power Metal sucks! (symphonic or not)

But symphonic power is a subgenre of power metal

Written by Guest on 12.01.2013 at 23:04

Yes, but defining Kamelot as just power is incorrect.

Really? Then defining Kamelot as just metal is incorrect, too!

I wanted to say nu-metal, but i went with deathcore because the nu-metal trend is over and deathcore is now the genre getting kids into what they call metal. I don't hate all deathcore, bands like All Shall Perish and older Whitechapel arent that bad. However 95% of the genre consists of low tuned guitars playing easy breakdowns and vocals that take like 2 days to learn how to do. I am also not a fan of the extreme amount of production and effects these bands use in the studio, only to achieve a commercial sound.The worst part of deathcore is that kids using it to get into metal are convinced that deathcore is no different than death metal!!!!

These gay-ass teenager metalcore bands.. Pain in the f-ings ass



I mean.... SERIOUSLY?!

^ They look pretty dumb. Music is bad too, but it still beats Nu, Grindcore, Deathcore, and Black. Bleh.

I mentioned that deathcore was my most despised genre of metal, but another reason might be is that its given anything with a "core" a bad name. My drummer and bassist recently quit my band and I've been looking for new members so I put an ad on KSL entitled "Crossover thrash/Grindcore" And I've had calls about people being interested and some jamming done as well but, a couple of dudes said they didn't like grindcore. And they continued to tell me about why they don't like it, and I go that's not grindcore that's deathcore. One kid even said he liked Napalm Death and Carcass, which I had stated in my add that they were some of my influences. So I've had to explain to a couple of people what grindcore is. Utah is rampant with awful deathcore bands.

But I want to hate the whole list !!!

Meh. I couldn't see myself being a fan of black or Grind. I'm always open to listening to new things, though. Amaze me.

while with black metal there is a head through the wall approach, for example you can try the first black metal song i ever heard and that immediately got me into it:

a more rational approach can be used. considering your taste here are a few thrashy, melodic or otherwise accessible examples




for grindcore you should probably start with something solid not too fast without noise experimentation
