Death Metal or Black Metal

[Ritualistic]

Okay dudes and dudetes which do you prefer..?? If you are not fans of eighter then who cares.. With me it depends on my mood.. But if you prefer one over the other then say so..

[Machine King]

Usually I prefer black over death metal. Although that changes depending on how I feel that particular day.

[moonsorrow]

usualy black metal, specialy symphonic black metal like twilight ophera, O.M.C. and so on. but then again death metal has its charm...

[bloodrayne]

Hmmm...Opeth has been referred to as both death metal AND black metal...There is something to ponder...BTW...I LOVE OPETH:)

[myster6]

I couldn't say that I liked one greater than the other. As far as their sub-genre's go, I mostly listen to brutal, technical death metal(Suffocation, Decapitated, Pyrexia, etc.) and raw black metal(Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, old Emperor and old Marduk).

I'm more a black metal gal myself. I don't really like Death metal maybe for a few bands like Suffocation or Death. Black metal i'm all about the king diamond/mercyful fate

[wheels128]

Black metal. Although I'll listen to anything that's heavy, melodic and with a decent singer.

[Sam The Egg]

hey, does anybody remember when there wasn't an infinite amount of sub-genre's? I miss that...

[SFF]

Well, I used to like King Diamond. But I haven't listened to any of his stuff in over 10 years.

Death Metal ,Black Metal , Speed Metal , Math Metal.....Oh Heck , as long as it has a good beat and you can dance to it..i'll always give it a 10 ;) - BTW OPETH IS AMAZING , and Pig Destoryer is Pure Dust :D WOOT !!!!!!!!!

[SpeakOfTheDevil]

I dont know ..thats hard to say...I think that black metal has a more melodic symphonic sound that u can relax and listen to..and death metal is fast and hardcore.but hey I dig them both

Death Metal for me but if I want to piss some one of I would play black metal fave bands are Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death,Morbid Angel and Brutal Truth

[Arioch]

Ahh good ol' Morbid Angel. That takes me back. Remember their hit "Where the slime live"?Im gonna download that shit RIGHT NOW.

[William]

I haven't really listened to much metal, since I haven't been exposed to it at all, but what's the difference between black metal and death metal anyhow?
