thrash metal period 1990-1993 (Sepultura, Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Kreator) ->
death / doom metal period 1993-1996 (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Obituary, Death, Carcass) ->
gothic / doom metal period 1996-2000 (Therion, Katatonia, Anathema, Moonspell, The Gathering) ->
progressive metal / rock period 2000-2005 (Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Pain Of Salvation, Tool) ->
avantgarde metal / black metal period 2005-2008 (Arcturus, Enslaved, Negura Bunget, Ulver, Shining)
post-metal / post-rock period 2008-… (Isis, Cult Of Luna, Pelican, Callisto, Mouth Of The Architect)
I nearly don't listen to such old-scool styles like heavy metal, thrash metal, death metal anymore, these styles got me into metal, but I'm always trying to discover new music.
The main styles I listen to today are:
Experimental/Post Metal, bands/albums/song samples from Prog Archives:
