It's either Death, Black, Doom or Symphonic. Really just pick any one of them and you could consider it my "favourite".

Melodic Death Metal (At The Gates, In Flames, Sacrilege) or Melodic Black Metal (Dissection, Windir, Catamenia). However, my favorite band is actually Agalloch and you can't throw them into a single genre.

Anything progressive, doesn't matter which genre. (Admittedly, I have been having a lot of fun with Viking Metal lately :P)

Death metal. I dabble in other stuff, though. The only genres I won't touch are speed metal and the -cores.

It's completely true, there are tons of people on this forum, such as myself, who don't consider the "core" genres to be actual metal, as they are hardcore with some metal elements.

I tried death metal, but it just sounded dead to me. i didn't feel THE PASSION. I prefer really energetic songs. the only bands that i listen to that could be anywhere near death metal are In flames (only from Colony onwards though) and i got into Heaven Shall burn which is apparently deathcore. I reckon this is cause i kind of got into metal by listening to popular hard rock/ alternative metal stuff though like papa roach. Although the first time i realised i like metal was with the power metal...

There's no such thing as "pure metal," at least not when you're talking about metal subgenres...

Also, I'm happy to help with recommendations as much as I can. PM me if you ever want any.

I don't understand why you would like Colony and not Whoracle or the Jester Race. Whoracle and The Jester Race are their most melodic efforts if you ask me. You should go back and listen to those albums.

Check this band Kalisia out:D

This song has growling on it, but they mix up their vocals a lot on their debut album Cybion. Also check out shrinebuilder.

wtf there are multiple types of metalcore now? this subgenre needs to be stopped before there is brutal metalcore, melodic metalcore, depressive metalcore, symphonic metalcore, progressive metalcore, groove metalcore, metalcore core , grind metalcore , god forbit we ever get stoner or doom metalcore.. or the worst.. DRONE METALCORE.

Colony was very similar to Jester Race and Whoracle. :?

I guess I'm not very accepting of NOT liking Whoracle/Jester Race while at the same time you like Colony.... Cause they are so much alike. I mean if you're not going to enjoy Whoracle, you won't like Colony either. Whatever though, I'll leave you alone now.

Agreed. 100%...With emphasis on Amon Amarth and Ensiferum...Another really underrated genre is "celtic metal" or something, it mixes celtic music and metal that's all I know...it sounds so unique and awesome, but I'm also a fan of celtic music. I think the band is Fiintroll or something along those lines that I really like.

EDIT: Yup, Finntroll...I spelled it wrong. Here's there best song :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGywo81G6lk

EDIT: And it's called "Folk Metal" just found that out right now...still love it!

If i had to pick a favourite, i guess i´d go with doom metal, but it does not meticulously have to abide by the subgenre-specific formula.
