What is the difference between rock and metal music?
Doom metal is actually the heaviest metal genre because it's so bass driven. As Eddie linked, Electric Wizard is the perfect example of that.
I would think Death Metal was.
Doom Metal technically. But its more heard on technical brutal slam death metal :P @Jonny. Stoner Metal does exist.
Thrash metallic, demise metallic, Nu metallic, option metallic, Metalcore, and Deathcore are those that i like. the two i like maximum (and the two) could be option metallic and Nu metallic, minus Korn, I hate that band.
I would agree with the guy that said Norwegian metal. I saw a documentary about metal in general, and the guy doing the movie had a huge bracket list of all metal, and sub-genre metal. He visited these Norwegian guys, and of everything, these guys were pretty much the hardest of the hard. And no, Stoner metal doesn't exist.
