I've never listened to metal before. I've listened to all three of the songs, and they all have great tunes, melodies, I don't know the word, but they're actually really good. I don't like the first one's lyrics, the voice is too growl-y and irritating, but the second one was great. I like the quick "Don't tread on me!"'s. It was definitely my favourite, I liked the quick bits with breaks inbetween.
Yeah, I'm the kind of person who likes most of the genre's. The only music genre I can't stand is country.

Good grief.
Yeah, even though my main favorite music is alternative rock, I like most genres as well, although I don't like country and my parents always ridiculed me for that.

I used to like metal back in the day, I guess. I don't really like it much anymore but my favorite was probably Anthrax and if I were to listen to any metal I'd probably just stick with them. If anything I'm more into what metal was back in the 70s.

Yes, I listen to metal. Sure, I may not listen to much outside of symphonic metal and power metal, but honestly, I still think my answer applies, considering those two subgenres are what I listen to the most in general.
As for my opinion on it? Well, one thing I have to point out is the sheer amount of variety in it. I mean, think about it- how many subgenres in it are there, and how many of them are different from one another? And even when it comes to lyrics, metal tends to have a lot of creative freedom. Sure, you could possibly say the same about rock, but even if it is, the variety's one thing I've always admired about metal as a whole.
Reading through the first page of this topic, though, and about the whole 'bigotry' thing... I don't think I've actually seen an instance of that happening for certain, but it could be why my brother has his mindset. I know for sure that he's very sexist, and though metal might not be a contributing factor, what others are saying here makes me suspect that it might have something to do with it. Then again, though, that probably has a lot to do with what one listens to rather than metal as a whole. After all, every genre has bands that could possibly encourage stuff like that, do they not?

I did back in the day. I am old, lol. But yes, interesting bit of trivia: my brother had a heavy metal band and one day was auditioning drummers and who came in but little Lars Ulrich. He played with them for about two weeks before my idiot brother decided he wasn't the proper fit. Lars invited my brother to come over and jam with what would become Metallica, but again... idiot brother wanted to be the boss. That is why he is in his fifties and still in a dead end job. My bit of trivia comes from this: first kiss, laundry room, Lars from Metallica. Lol

Guess I forgot to mention the bands I was into: Maiden, Scorpians and Judas Priest. Saw them all lI've back in the day. I was a buyer for Tower Records (when they were still alive, lol) and got backstage for all the concerts back then.

I strongly recommend Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. It's a documentary about Metal Music and all it's ridiculous sub-genres. Because it is getting hilarious now with all the different types (groove metal? What's that? Elevator music for headbangers?). The same documentary goes through the family tree of Metal as well. It's a great watch.
I'm always an Iron Maiden fan. Member of the club, seen them a lot. All this shouty screamy stuff and toddler-banging-on-a-pot rhythm stuff doesn't sit well with me. I can never find the tune in amongst it all.

yup i agree with you, the crescendo makes the song amazing - says a lot about the song and how genius it is since i don't like metal but i still appreciate it

Nice, great to hear. Cool to see that you're interested!
And I totally understand the thing with the first song, regarding the growls, I've showed the song to countless people, some say they don't hear the singer, some say it isn't singing, some say it's just noise set to a rythm! xD It's interesting to see what people say about that first song, I'm always interested.- - - Post Merge - - -
I gotta say, I certainly enjoy when a woman sings in a metal band, it brings something entirely different to the table, it works especially well in symphonic and melodic metal genres. I enjoyed the songs!
And yeah, I think every genre--every demographic, has their bigoted lot of individuals. Where they say either black or white people are the problem for everything. Just recently a very famous groove metal vocalist named Philip H. Anselmo, did the "Sieg heil" and yelled "White power!" That's just one example of bigotry in metal, but there are more. Also since lyrics in metal songs vary SO much, there are so many different minds behind each one of them. It's quiet hard to not have one or two bigoted lads among a group. But you can't deny some write very good songs.
Anyways, there are also those bigots in metal that just say "YOU LISTEN TO _______ METAL?! HAH, YOU'RE SUCH A ______!" Those people are just honestly dumb, in my eyes atleast. xD Funny how soceity is preached for being such a tolerant place, yet some people can't tolerate other just listening to other genres of music.
Anyways, thanks for the awesome and long post!
I love metal. it's so ductile, strong, and generally shiny.

I think the only problem I find with female vocalists in metal bands is that they're mostly either in symphonic bands or in one of those radio friendly 'Evanescence' bands that are mostly just power chords and a 4 beat. It's just not very diverse.
There's a huge lack of woman fronted bands that are still full of tasty riffs, sweet solo's and double bass, though I guess I appreciate those bands more when I do find one.
(Note: I'm fine with symphonic bands, I just get bored of seeing a woman in a Youtube thumbnail on a metal video and 90% of the time it leading to yet another symphonic band)

Nope I don't listen to it. I don't really have much of an opinion on metal music, simply because I haven't listened to enough songs to know whether or not I like it; but from what I have heard it sounded pretty bad. But hey, each to their own~

Good grief.
What alternative rock do you like?
