Imo, getting into a genre deppends of the music we listen to, besides Metal and what we search in Metal, for example: I got really easy into Gothic Metal because I was interested in the dark side of music, life, art... and I got really interested in the gothic culture for some time.
So, imo, the easiest genre to get into would be Power or Heavy, I can't decide which is the easiest one

I'd say Black Progressive Doom Cathedral Metal, with some Djent here and there. Now that is easy to get into.

The hardest genre still today to get into is Glam metal. as the make up and everything just kills me inside, but the music keeps me coming back.

Written by Redn1ght on 31.05.2013 at 21:26 Nope. I can't stand Power metal at all, and found it to be one of the hardest genres to get into. It's so cheesy that it turns a lot of people off.

Written by whatsacow on 03.06.2013 at 19:54 disagree. whether you or i like it is immaterial. we're looking at a wider scope and it stands to reason that since most people seem to like catchy melodic tunes (it's what dominates radio play) the catchiest, most melodic forms of metal would be the easiest gateway for the majority.

Written by BitterCOld on 03.06.2013 at 20:09 Idk. I think it depends. Although it is melodic, it is harder to get into than something like Metalcore, which can have elements of pop punk - an extremely easy genre to get into. Nu metal has hip hop, which can ease a non metal fan into it. I don't really see non metal fans taking to power metal, as it is so over the top and extreme in it's grandeur that it can be off putting.

Probably traditional heavy metal (Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest specifically) and speed/thrash metal (specifically the Big 4). Those tend to be the most popular of all metal bands/genres and can be considered a good gateway for many metal novices (I know they were for me especially).

Written by Cynic Metalhead on 05.06.2013 at 12:46 Yeah, actually I agree. I mean look at Metallica. They were huge even when they actually played Thrash. Slayer and Pantera are also huge, even outside of Metal circles, so I'm inclined to agree.

Written by Guest on 05.06.2013 at 13:50 Uh? well, taking in majority i strongly think it's pretty easy to get into any thrash or revivalist metal bands. If you talking about Havok, Revocation, Hell's Thrash Horsemen or Kreator are tough to get through, then i guess you should CHECK THESE BANDS out again.

Written by Guest on 05.06.2013 at 11:14 interestingly that was my direction long before i got near melodic stuff after i had found motörhead, and gotten a full stick from a friend with mostly melodic stuff i ignored and some things like kataklysm, fear factory and dagoba, i got to deathcore for a while, then straight into black, a while later grindcore and slam death, only after that thrash i then got to melodic music through black and technical death but for most people i"d say folk metal is the easy way in

Power metal is the most melodic so I'll go with that. Folk metal is friendly tap-your-foot-to-it goodness too.

Power metal, because of the lack of harsh vocals and the light subject matter. Alternatively glam, if you prefer glam cheese to power cheese. Some alternative metal is also easy to get into, but some isn't. Metalcore is NOT easy to get into because of the harsh vocals, but it's probably the easiest way to get into extreme metal. Nu metal shouldn't be an easy genre to get into, it's often dissonant or monotonous, but apparently for a lot of people it is.

Written by deadone on 20.08.2014 at 03:42 I agree. I think that metal (or music in general) that are the easiest to get into, are also the music that is easy to understand, so to speak. It's easier to dig something you can understand, rather than something you don't understand. Complexity will repel the common man

Symphonic Metal seems to grab most non-metalheads attentions for me.

Written by deadone on 22.08.2014 at 02:01 Oh well, funny people are so different  I find popular music depressing; depressed that so many people worldwide actually LOVE shitty music like Dustin Beaver or Rubbekkah Black

Written by deadone on 22.08.2014 at 02:01 Pop music nowadays is often more far depressing and aggressive than Helloween is. Maybe this people only listen to pop from like 40+ years ago.

Me too. Started on black, gothic and death metal and later went to the more underground genres such as shoegaze, dark ambient and such stuff Peole keep saying alternative, heavy, power and thrash are easier to get into but I still didn't manage to get into this stuff :3

Written by deadone on 02.10.2014 at 02:45 Try Obtained Enslavement. They sound like a cross between Dimmu and Emperor. Chthonic are a bit (I said a bit) like Cradle, mainly in the vocal department.
