Blink 182 and Cannibal Corpse are my favourite metal bands.

Megadeth and Apocalyptica mostly, but I like a lot more of metal bands.

Please tell me you're joking. Blink-182 is not a metal band, in the very least.

As for me, I don't listen to metal anymore, but my favorite band back when I liked it was Between the Buried and Me, a progressive metal band, or Atreyu, a metalcore band. I don't care for either anymore.

I went to see Nile down in LA a month ago.

I don't really have a favorite metal band anymore. It used to be Cradle of Filth, but I can't make up my mind anymore. Moonspell is awesome, Wintersun has probably one the best albums to come out in a while, my current favorite is Samael. There is so much to choose from.

Blink 182 is sooo a metal band.

My favourite album from them is Scenes From a Memory, with Images and Words a close second. Octavarium and Systematic Chaos have a very different sound in comparison to their earlier work.

Though my favourite metal band right now is Sonata Arctica, Wintersun and As I Lay Dying come very close.

Haha, I remeber sending you your first Sonata Arctica song.

Sonanta Arctica are easily my favourite power metal band.

Burzum is the best thing in metal, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is one of the most powerfully hateful albums ever made.

Not too crazy about thrash, seen it more as a genre that broke off into different, superior stems (death & black, mainly). Master Of Puppets gets more credit than it'll ever deserve though. Kreator kicks GIANT amounts of ass, Pleasure To Kill is the best thrash album ever.

I've always liked th general idea of power metal, though the genre is so painfully formulaic now its currently one of the worst things in metal (DragonForce >.>). Kamelot is sexy though, Epica is a classic even if Ghost Opera was backwards rinky-dink crap. Dream Theater are also terribly overrated, though Awake is definitely a masterpiece in prog metal.

I really don't like hearing Alcest referred to as "post-black metal" because it really doesn't apply too much. It just happened to be a black metal band once upon a time. I see what people are saying though, I guess, the song "Printemps Emeraude" definitely has those black metal inspired lo-fi tremolo riffs, and has a lot of post-rock build-ups/downs, but I never liked hearing it called "black." I'd say its a shoegaze project, simple.

I pretty much like all forms of metal in someway, the only exception is nu-metal and I don't like most metalcore (but BTBAM <3). I'm also a huge friggin' drone dork. Boris and Earth are my homies. As are Sunn O))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).

P.S. Lol Cannibal Corpse and Cradle Of Filth.

[Boney King]

Boris are great because they do lots of different stuff. I like them a lot.

And btw, obv Blink 182 aren't metal, and I don't even listen to Cannibal Corpse. Truthfully I don't listen to very much metal, but I do love Between The Buried And Me and Tool (debatable).

[Nominus Experse]

Dimmu Borgir and Arch Enemy are two of my favourites at the moment.
