Heavy metal, heavy metal or all genres within heavy metal? Probably Motörhead for the first, but I listen to a lot of folksy metal bands like Korpiklaani, Turisas, Finntroll, Wind Rose, etc.

Hi @Miselio, thanks for sharing! I like Motörhead as well, and while I haven’t yet listened to folk metal bands such as Korpiklaani, I’ll probably check them out soon since they sound interesting!

My apologies for the confusion regarding the type of heavy metal to post about in this thread; I had meant to be inclusive of all subgenres (black, death, doom, folk, metalcore, post, power, progressive, thrash, etc.). However, after reading your post, I can see how using the broad term “heavy metal” can be unclear, since it is sometimes used to describe “traditional heavy metal” or “classic metal” bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. or modern NWOTHM groups that play a similar style to that heard before the genre evolved and branched into different subgenres of metal.

My favorite band in the “classic metal” genre is probably Black Sabbath; here’s my favorite track of theirs, which is currently in Spotify’s “Old School Metal” playlist:

Lately I’ve been mostly listening to the stoner/doom genre of metal, and my favorite band in this subgenre is Dopelord; here’s probably my current favorite track of theirs:
