So you guys like metal?

[Abacab niggah]

To elaborate I can group metal heads into two separate groups that would most likely dog on each others music simply cause it doesn't fit into their "view" of what heavy metal is. Regardless if your skimming the surface and only listening to big names or you're a underground junkie who thrives on the obscure you'll fit into either these two types:

Techfreaks:
You enjoy metal that is fast, elaborate, and intricate. Melody and technicality is what you view as superior when it comes to heavy metal and you cream your pants when odd time signatures and progressive elements are placed in the song structure. You probably spend quite a bit of money through itunes buying songs by bands such as Necrophagist, Nile, Dream Theater, Opeth and the like.

Genre's most enjoyed:
Thrash metal
Speed Metal
Progressive Metal
NWOBHM
Power/folk Metal
Melodic death Metal

and then there are...

Rifflords:

You enjoy metal for the heaviness, giving hail to the all mighty riff, you specifically look for metal that is heavy on the low-end viewing the ability to crumble stone with sheer volume and lowness as the main focal point of what constitutes as heavy metal. You're most likely to spend large amounts of cash via itunes on bands that have an archaic Black Sabbath sound, bands such as High on Fire, Sleep, Eyehategod, and Electric Wizard take precedence here.

Genres most enjoyed:
Doom Metal
Sludgecore
Stoner Metal/rock
Drone Metal
Ambient/shoegaze
Slam death Metal
Down Tempo
Classic Metal
