Interesting article, even for someone like me who doesn't pay much attention to metal these days. I've always had a soft spot for that classic style of heavy metal like Judas Priest or Pantera, and I like a bit of the more melodic stuff like Agalloch or Animals As Leaders, but grindcore and such never really struck a chord with me. I do like what I've heard of Ghost so far, but they seem just a little bit too serious. Doom I'm sort of indifferent too; the sound is alright, but it just strikes me as 17-year-old stoner music--probably because I associate it with 420chan's average-at-best music board freaking out over Electric Wizard in between dubstep threads.
