For those that listen to metal:

METAL! WOOT! Along with Rock, they are my 가장 좋아하는 음악 Genres.

- What's your favourite sub-genre of said genre?

I really 사랑 most of them if not all. To mention some: Heavy, Symphonic, Power, Alternative, Nu, Gothic, Punk and Thrash Metal. They are certainly high up there.

- Who got 당신 into it?

I got into Metal through listening to Lordi at the 2005 Eurovision Contest where they ended up being the Winners. It still remains one of my 가장 좋아하는 Bands to this very day.

- What do 당신 look for in a metal song?

Speaking to me. Reaching to my Soul. Making it tremble and taking me away. When I listen to the Song and know that I'm enjoying it, that's all that I can ask.

- Favourite metal artists?

Quite a few. Some of my favorites are Lordi, Skillet, Sabaton, Thousand Foot Krutch, Three Days Grace, Ronnie James Dio, Lacuna Coil, Kamelot, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Halestorm, Manowar, Disturbed, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc. The list goes on XD !!!!

My type of question!

Symphonic Metal, obviously.

Nightwish. And they're still my 가장 좋아하는 band. I 사랑 them so much ♥

Depends on the subgenre. For Atmospheric/Symphonic Black/Gothic Metal I look for a chilling atmosphere; for Folk Metal I look for catchy folk tunes, for MeloDeath I look for heavy and catchy riffs with deep death growls; and for Symphonic Power Metal I look for classical trained vocals (and hopefully some death metal vocals thrown in too) and bombastic orchestration.

Acid Witch, Advent Sorrow, Alestorm, Ancient Bards, Aquilus, Arch Enemy, Black Sabbath, Blackthorn, Carnage, Crom, Dark Sarah, Eluveitie, Epica, Forever Slave, Kamelot, Lordi, Mortal Love, Nightwish, Tarja, Therion, Within Temptation (I personally don't find WT metal outside of their demos but they're technically still under the "Symphonic Metal" label), Yousei Tokeiku

here's some melodeath/stoner doomy stuff for the soul

Symphonic Metal for sure! But I 사랑 all of them. 고딕 and Folk are close seconds.

What I look for really just depends on the genre. Like Power Metal one hundred percent must have great guitars and fantastical lyrics. I like the really high male vocals but I don't need them to enjoy it. Likewise I prefer operatic vocals and choirs in Symphonic Metal but they don't need to be there for me to enjoy it. With Black Metal I like good guitars as well, long intros are a plus. I like theatrics. I'm really not picky at all though, pretty much anything goes. I just have certain things that please me 더 많이 또는 that make a song extra special to me.

Not sure if 당신 mean who as in what band got 당신 into it 또는 who as in a person who introduced 당신 to it (like a friend 또는 a family member). I grew up on metal because of my dad so I can thank him for showing me my first metal bands that I 사랑 to this day. I introduced myself to symphonic metal. I found it while watching an 아바타 AMV and the first band I found was Within Temptation.

Within Temptation, Delain, Epica, Xandria, Sirenia, Nightwish, and a bunch of other symphonic metal ones. In terms of folk metal my 가장 좋아하는 is Eluveitie. But there are so many fantastic ones out there. In terms of industrial metal I really like Rammstein, Frontline Assembly, and Oopmh. Idk if Rave The Reqvim counts but I've been into them lately.
