Whats the Hardest Metal You Listen to?

[Sgt. Cow]

I'd say about 5 - 8. Slipknot is probably as heavy as I go. Also, I'm totally not using this thread as an excuse to tell people about a band I recently discovered.
...


...and yes, the vocalist is a bird

You've been watching the Gamestation podcast, haven't you?

Yep. I tried to find other bands with non-human vocalists but only found Caninus(which was also mentioned in the podcast).

 

[Rechi]

I suppose the hardest I listen to is Meshuggah which is anywhere from 9-11 I guess.

I mostly listen to djent bands like Periphery and Animals as Leaders.

 

[lacktheknack]

The craziest I go in terms of rock/metal is The Fray, which ranges from 1-3.

Now, ELECTRONIC, on the other hand...

 

[Lectori Salutem]

9. I like melodic death metal, but I can't really get into the 'pure' extreme bands.

 

[Rooster893]

The highest I will willingly listen to is probably a 9.

I do occasionally enjoy Arch Enemy and Cannibal Corpse every once in a while.

 

[Torrasque]

Eh, I don't really like fitting into a classification, since my musical taste is pretty odd. That being said, the hardest metal I listen to can slip between 9 and 10 I think. I like songs more than bands, and when I like a lot of songs by a band, I like the band.
I hate that "you like *insert music type here*, so you MUST like *similar music type here* !"

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Always love me some Amon Amarth.

 

[Dragonclaw]

O n that scale I'm probably a 6...old school hair metal it is

 

[someonehairy-ish]

9-10, though i could not find a good group for techincal bands like Gojira, between the buried and me etc.

I'd say those both reach 10. I'm fairly sure songs like bleed and sections of songs like 'art of dying' reach an 11.

I can listen to songs from pretty much anywhere on the scale without a problem. Well... Some of the more inane and pointless auditory sugar that you get toward the very bottom of the scale is rather hard to listen to.

You're probably right, though I don't like to put really technical bands like those in the same category as Grindcore, Noisecore and such, because in my ears, those are an atrocity to metal. But, everyone has their taste

 

[The_Echo]

I have everything from 3-11. Anything less than 3 is just... too sloooooooooooow.

WOOO WBTBWB!!!!
never heard of anyone else into them!

 

[Burn2Feel]

I'd say 8, the heaviest I listen to often being As I Lay Dying

 

[Scorekeeper]

Tungsten carbide.

OT: About a 7, since that's where power metal falls.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I'll listen to anything ranging from 1-10 for sure, without wishing to sound up my own arse I think I've got pretty eclectic tastes. :3 As for 11 though I'm not really sure what the hell you're on about, or at least not sure why it would really deserve a distinction from 10. I guess these are some of the heavier/more extreme songs I listen to that you might in some light class as an 11:

Spoiler

Particularly Brain Drill, that shit is just insane. 0_0

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I listen to a lot of Nu-Metal...

Obviously this is over nine thousand!!! x3

That's probably one of my favorite songs from that album. Nice choice!

OT: Honestly, this song, and I mean this song, is the hardest I've gone that I actually enjoyed.


I just like the usual suspects, the likes of Megadeth and Alice and Chains. That kinda thing.

 

[omega 616]

pornogrind, noisegrind and goregrind.

Not sure if bands or skate grinds ....

Well the heaviest I have on my Ipod is hatebreed and since I have no idea what the fuck half of these millions of genre are I am going to say it's not that hardcore.

Although I suspect as you get near 10 and 11, it goes from "look how heavy this music is" to "listen to me hit my guitar with a rock, while I move my left hand round".

I think there is way too much division and semantics in the music world, nu metal ... what the fuck is that? Lets just have rock, metal, heavy metal, "I hate my geetar and can't sing so I bark/growl/scream/all-of-the-above"

 

[Silent Anima]

Song title made me think of kit-kats. =D

OT: I'd say at least a 10[sup]1/2[/sup]! I love metal! I can listen to some heavy stuff. ^-^ My favorite band falls nicely into rank 10. Gojira! =D

*looks at other posts* [sub]Look at all that deathcore ._.[/sub]
