05.31.24 | Djent is like the worst genre of metal if you can even call it a sub genre at this point. It's an insult to Meshuggah.
The only sub genre I would have little confidence having an opinion on is Industrial though I've had little interest in trying it honestly. |
jrlikestodance
05.31.24 | I'll always feel bad for Meshuggah cuz they carved out their own identity and then watched it get watered down to shit |

05.31.24 | @DarkSideofLucca
My controversial metal opinion is aside from a few bands I find Thrash to be really boring and samey. Same with power metal as well honestly. I know many would kill me for the thrash take.
Have you ever tried Insect Warfare, Wormrot or Rotten Sound btw as far as grindcore is concerned? |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | Djent is like the worst genre of metal if you can even call it a sub genre at this point. It's an insult to Meshuggah. [2] Hard agree
I'll always feel bad for Meshuggah cuz they carved out their own identity and then watched it get watered down to shit [2] Also hard agree
@Motiv - Yeah I get that with thrash. I disagree but I for sure understand the sentiment.
And Rotten Sound is actually one of those bands that I really dig that are grindcore, I totally forgot about them. Have to check Insect Warfare and Wormrot though - I recognize those names but don't remember them at all |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.31.24 | swap 4 and 11, then then turn this entire list upside down |
Hawks
05.31.24 | Putting nu-metal, prog and metalcore ahead of bm is asssinine to me but M///////. |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | Oh shit I forgot Groove metal, although the only bands I know that are groove metal are Pantera and Lamb of God but I love Pantera more than like almost any band so ahhhh
I dunno
@Hawks - I could bump bm lower for you if you want ; ) |
artiswar
05.31.24 | Want to read this list but got triggered 2 sentences in lol
I don't think I'm gonna make it |
Wildcardbitchesss
05.31.24 | ya dig any blackened death lucca? |
Ryus
05.31.24 | death metal, metalcore, black metal, grindcore top 4 |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | Lmfao art
@Wildcard - I've only really listened to a few blackened death metal bands but I fucking really dig Deathspell Omega and the other couple I have heard - haven't heard enough for a ranking though, prob only a few albums here and there |
Cryptkeeper
05.31.24 | List is a haunting reminder that people walk this earth who think BMTH are better band than Napalm Death |
Cryptkeeper
05.31.24 | Also grind at 13 but Cryptopsy for the dm album at 2 actually deals psychic damage |
GiaNXGX
05.31.24 | metalc0re isn’t mEtAL!!! |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | BMTH?
Who?
Also I was super close to choosing either Altars of Madness or Effigy for the dm spot, it was a toss up between those 3 |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | Oh, Bring Me The Horizon
No, I was thinking more Converge, Knocked Loose, Botch, Zao, The Chariot, Knut, Cursed, Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc |
Cryptkeeper
05.31.24 | Knocked Loose is a lot more hardcore than they are metalcore |
Wildcardbitchesss
05.31.24 | ya im not really into old school bm either, most of those 90’s bands do nothing for me… Desthspell are damn near goated.
And I already knew this but your metalcore taste is immaculate🤌 |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | m///// |
Motiv3
05.31.24 | Cursed are amazing, haven't listened to them for ages.
All I've been listening to recently is sludge and doom metal for the most part lol. |
oisincoleman64
05.31.24 | where's christian gorenoise |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | "All I've been listening to recently is sludge and doom metal for the most part lol." Dude same, that's literally the only thing I've listened to in the past month or so outside of a couple death metal releases.
"where's christian gorenoise"
It was too good to include, that'd be the only genre here if I considered that |
ToSmokMuzyki
05.31.24 | r u sure ur not still in highschool |
DaveyMonsoon
05.31.24 | Nu-metal above black and grind got a good chuckle out of me, congrats. |
Flugmorph
05.31.24 | great ranking however i disagree which is why you must now perish |
Kusangii
05.31.24 | Meshuggah above death metal was the one for me. Then again Meshuggah created djent and I think djent is one of the worst things that has happened to metal so |
DaveyMonsoon
05.31.24 | Meshuggah were much more interesting when they were a thrash band tbh. Contradictions Collapse is actually a pretty cool album, but they quickly lost my interest after that. |
Flugmorph
05.31.24 | kek take |
BaselineOOO
05.31.24 | Here's my list:
BM #1, Nu-Metal #2. Delete all other metal genres, nobody cares. |
Kusangii
05.31.24 | Agreed hard Davey, their debut is the only album I can stand by them |
Jurtz
05.31.24 | He put grindcore last with the best grindcore album ever made... |
Demon of the Fall
05.31.24 | idk
post / atmo sludge
death
prog (tons of absolute tosh but a high ceiling)
grind
metalcore (same as prog)
avant-garde
black (better when accompanied by other influences)
sludge / doom
melo
thrash
power
heavy
industrial
alternative
nu-metal
groove
djent
A lot of these are far too broad |
botb
05.31.24 | Lol |
DaveyMonsoon
05.31.24 | "He put grindcore last with the best grindcore album ever made..."
The grindcore entry on this is just disappointing in general tbh, especially the whole "grindcore is just noise" bit which always reminds me of that one "brutal death/grind/deathcore is not music" video by that one Dream Theater guy. There's a lot of technical and experimental grind that actually has quite a bit of variety that might interest them more (stuff like Discordance Axis and Atka come to mind). Also deathgrind is a thing which I wouldn't see why they wouldn't like with death metal being one of their favorites. |
BallsToTheWall
05.31.24 | Lost
Me at 13. |
jrlikestodance
05.31.24 | Just came to say Misery Index is the best grind album of all time |
budgie
05.31.24 | this list really unhappies me but at least thrash is high |
rockarollacola
05.31.24 | based Grind placement |
rockarollacola
05.31.24 | #0 is power metal because it transcends all other metal genres |
VlacDrac
05.31.24 | 2 is 1. |
VlacDrac
05.31.24 | @rockarollacola power metal is geh. |
rockarollacola
05.31.24 | @VlacDrec
Power metal month begins tomorrow. Get ready |
VlacDrac
05.31.24 | Nothing But Power Metal June? Miss me with that. |
BAT
05.31.24 | grindcore is #1 :'(. but yeah all sub-genres have a majority of stuff that's generic and pedestrian outside of a few standout bands, the good stuff rises to the surface annd the more obscure a scene is the less stuff you'll get exposed to. buuut i'd bet money on a run of the mil grindcore band being better than a run of the mil [every other option listed, but i'll say metalcore is the easiest to shit on, and i love metalcore but if you pick a random cd up with no prior knowledge it's more misses than hits.] |
VlacDrac
05.31.24 | I bet Lucca would enjoy the experimental side of Grindcore more, stuff like Gigantic Brain and Sawtooth Grin. |
budgie
05.31.24 | heey bat listen to ravaged fortitude of foul existence |
ToSmokMuzyki
05.31.24 | grind sucks dong power metal rulz |
DarkSideOfLucca
05.31.24 | “ He put grindcore last with the best grindcore album ever made...”
Ugh no one reads anymore
I love that album. I praised pig destroyer and Napalm death in the description
Also the technical Metallica wank fest meshuggah debut was by far their least interesting and it’s not even close |
BAT
05.31.24 | I have not budgie ill get on it. And honestly love almost all metal but it's kind of on a band to band basis, like never been too into power metal but I'd be lying if I said i didnt enjoy at least one song at some point |
Balerion
06.01.24 | Black metal at 12 is batshit dude. Get your shit in check |
evilford
06.01.24 | Top 4 is based, id put sludge third after meshuggah and dm but agreed ahrd |
evilford
06.01.24 | Also melodeath is dead last ez
Matter of fact, petition to remove melodeath from the entire metal genre. All in favor |
budgie
06.01.24 | emo/screamo/skramz/metalcore/deathcore all share the dead last category |
rockarollacola
06.01.24 | "Nothing But Power Metal June? Miss me with that."
It was a pride month joke.
|
Hawks
06.01.24 | Lmao @ Budg lumping deathcore in with skramz. |
Flugmorph
06.01.24 | "Also melodeath is dead last ez"
best subgenre agreed :)
|
Muzz79
06.01.24 | Melodeath my fav subgenre too. Follow it very closely. Here’s my 10 best melodeath so far this year
Blood Red Throne - Nonagon
Nemesis - Embrace Reality
Persefone - Lingua ignota pt 1
The Moor - Ombra
Fall of Serenity - Open Wide o Hell
In Vain - Solemn
Fractal Gates - One With Dawn
This Ending - Crowned In Blood
Daath - The Deceivers
Crownshift - Crownshift |

06.01.24 | @DarkSideOfLucca
My bad, I didn't read properly, I stand corrected. |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | lol no worries
I also really dig that darkthrone album even though bm is towards the bottom |
jrlikestodance
06.01.24 | Power metal and viking metal are the clear worst |
evilford
06.01.24 | Yeah they're bad overall but Hammerheart rules |
VlacDrac
06.01.24 | "It was a pride month joke."
I am aware, however, the idea of listening to nothing but Power Metal for a month is grim. |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | Dragonforce only month |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | Oh wait fuck I forgot Power metal ugh
I had to redo this entire list because when I submitted it the first time, Sput deleted it ugh
I'll fix now |
VlacDrac
06.01.24 | I'd rather KMS. |
VlacDrac
06.01.24 | You also forgot Post Metal, however, there are only a handful of stellar bands from that subgenre. Most Post-Metal bands are just Neurosis and ISIS wannabes. |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | If post metal is just Neurosis/Isis and Cult of Luna it would be under sludge, but those are like the only 3 bands I listen to
Same problem with Industrial metal and Folk metal for me, it's like less than 5 bands in the genre that I listen to lol |
Flugmorph
06.01.24 | lucca i thought you never listened to isis |
ToSmokMuzyki
06.01.24 | >lstening to nothing but Power Metal for a month is grim.
this was literally going to be my next challenge list if dildorian hadnt exhausted me |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | @Flug - that was 2 days ago, keep up dude
I also never listened to Cult of Luna until last week and still haven't gotten through their discog yet
I'm a new Lucca now |
Flugmorph
06.01.24 | insane lucca person |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.01.24 | I'm a wild one |
evilford
06.02.24 | Only post metal i really listen to is Neurosis and ISIS but they are easily 2 of my favorite bands |
Goodolboy
06.02.24 | Black metal sucks yeah. |
MetalMarcJK
06.02.24 | 3 is 1, 2 is 2, and 14 is, like, 24 or something. |
MetalMarcJK
06.02.24 | ...and there’s a LOT of killer new thrash, Lucca. |
ToSmokMuzyki
06.02.24 | all metal sucks BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLSSSSSSSS |

Gyromania

06.02.24 | Hate to agree with Gyro again but........ |
DarkSideOfLucca
06.02.24 | "So djent is your favorite genre, cool"
Uh, no.
Meshuggah is my favorite band, death metal is my favorite genre. But I get the confusion. |
Jurtz
06.02.24 | 2 = 1 agreed |
MetalMarcJK
08.20.24 | Hey, remember when this list came out at the beginning of summer? That was rad. |
DarkSideOfLucca
