The hardest Metal I listen to is Godsmack or Disturbed.
It's not too hardcore and I enjoy a lot of the lyrics in their songs. But, Black and Death Metal, if Death exists, is just TOO DAMN hardcore - for me!![]()
No no no no no! You never use "metal" and "hardcore" in the same sentence. You end up with... *shudder* metalcore *shudder*
As I said, it depends entirely on the band and lyrics. Hip hop, rap, pop, rock, punk and all those fake electronic music genres can be just as destructive. It all depends on the message the artist or band wants to portray.

Let's not derail this thread completely. I just can't stand hardcore vocals and breakdowns in metal. It ruins the ambience and composition and if there's ONE (ok, two) thing(s) that make a song stand out, it's atmosphere and flow. These two elements form a perfect harmony in a GOOD metal song, so you can't really split them up, hence me referring to it as one thing.

I enjoy most metal. In fact, I enjoy most genres of music in general. Whether that's Metal (and it's countless sub-genres), hip-hop, rap, classical, dubstep, 80's pop, etc. If it sounds good to me I will listen to it. Metal is still (and will always be) where my heart is though.
You can hear the vocals with Disturbed and Godsmack, that's not edgy.
Check out the bands they are fans of, that's "edgy".
Edgy in this case, being the sound of cats making love slowed down, being accepted as "vocals".
This is a game of extremely bad taste, made by people with an extremely bad taste in music.

Folk and Orchestral Metal is the best
Wintersun, Ensiferum and Nightwish are my fav metal bands. Wintersun is pretty staunch but I do enjoy the lyrics.
