Here's an idea! What mix of genres do you like? I mean like, when rock or metal bands mix other musical styles into their music. Have to say I've got a soft spot for folk-metal :pac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhZpmFORHBA

I like avante garde type metal, there's a particular song by Meshuggah off Catch 33 I think where they launch into this jazz section which wouldn't be out of place in a Picasso painting, it's the musical representation of cubism or flatland. Anything with doom mixed in is good aswell. I like it when bands do things forbidden by scene/true metal conventions like Ghost who are very melodic. When you combine the power/drive of metal with an imaginative approach you can get some really great music.
