Also I don't think there really needs to be a "logical argument" against anything. It's not rocket science it's music. I think we are overthinking it at this point. People dig what hits their ears right and dont dig what doesn't. Just because you enjoy mdm doesn't make person Y wrong for not digging it. And vice versa.

Intestine Baalism would probably classify as aggressive mdm Demon if you haven't heard

Intestine baalism is a rare case where I love mdm. They kick balls

Album Rating: 3.0

Can't help but lol at hating melodeath but ranking metalcore at nr 2 subgenre. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Album Rating: 4.5

u good fordy

I'm sure there are logical arguments to be had about music and genres, I just dont personally think that hard about it i guess. I have 60k "album rules" comments how fuckin hard do u think I think about this shit

Melodeath is probably still my favorite genre overall. It literally got me into metal and I will always have a soft spot for it. Having that said, a lot of melodeath bands end up sounding generic and uninspired. But when it shines, it truly shines.

thats true for all music genres

'Intestine Baalism would probably classify as aggressive mdm Demon if you haven't heard'

Noted, cheers.

I completely forgot to rank metalcore, it would certainly be top 5 for me.

And yeah, no-one is saying you can't like whatever the hell you want. I'm not elitist about this, just find it interesting to see how things change over time for me personally. Variety is the spice of life.

> either way, melody good actually


Melody is good and important agreed, I don't think the majority of the hate melodeath gets is because it has melody, lol.


> rec me ultra-aggressive mdm and I will endeavour to have a (slightly more) informed opinion on the subject


Some stuff to look at that I will assume you haven't checked already:


Debut Intestine Baalism, debut Amorphis, debut Maleficarum, Ceremonium second album, Crystal Age if you want tekdef with melody, there's more but my brain is too fried to think of more atm. I don't know if these count as "ultra-aggressive" or "mdm" but its death metal and its got melody lol.

I do sometimes like tekk deffs of the melodious persuasion, I'd actually forogotten to include that in my thinking for some reason... so yeah, cool

thx for the recs

tbh im not sure i can even choose 3 genres since if it is metal and not some mccore/prog infused shit i like a good chunk of all genres, tho black and death are most consistent quality so they end up with higher scores overall

Agreed black and death would be in my top 3 metal genres too, nfi what the third would be.

Mccore is a very unfortunate genre.

metalcore rules hard agreed

Since everyone's ranking their worst metal genre, let's start with whatever brand of metal Disturbed has become, followed closely by metalcore and djent. I personally hate power metal as well and find it unlistenable but it isn't offensively bad as metalcore, djent and "generic for the masses metal" are



at the same time I agree with Fluggy's sentiment "its fine to enjoy art without constraints actually. big huggies 🤗"

idk why this is going here, but it amused me and is almost relevant, so here goes...

(this song is playing in the background somewhere, but audible enough to here it pretty clearly)

the wife who's only perception of such things is through the mainstream... says 'oh no, I don't like this - it sounds similar to that music you hear with those horrible machine gun-like drums

Oh, I think you mean blast beats... but this, this is Iron Maiden
