Top 10 Best Metal Subgenres to Headbang To
Those genres of metal which make you repeatedly move your head!
Thrash Metal is a Heavy Metal subgenre developed during the early 1980s and an early precursor of Extreme Metal. Thrash Metal features a faster and more aggressive guitar work than Traditional Metal with shredding and double-bass drums and can range from melodic singing to loud shouts.
The English band, Venom is credited for laying the groundwork for Thrash Metal with their debut album "Welcome to Hell" in 1981. However, the subgenre would peak its influences in the United States with Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth, whose influence would categorize them as the "Big Four" of Thrash. Thrash Metal is just the PERFECT subgenre to headbang to!
Okay, headbanging to some old Iron Maiden songs or some epic speedy Motorhead or some good old Black Sabbath is great too, but Thrash is just the best music to headbang!
The guitars sound epic and hell. It's great fun to learn if you're a guitarist, too. I might need to have a few treatments since my head might very well fall off.
Probably the best, most varied genre. Every song is a brutal sonic attack, every minute filled with headbanging. From OSDM to Melodeath to Brutal Death to Tech Death to Blackened Death to Deathgrind to Death 'n' roll to Slam and to every little microgenre, death metal is the very best metal subgenre.
Perfect for headbanging. Qualities such as: great speed, deep growls and roars and distorted guitars make it perfect to headbang to no doubt
Why the heck groove metal not in this list who is making this list please add this metal sub-genre because you know this is one of the best forms of metal listen to lamb of god pantera machine head... There are many more and get to know what actually is groove metal and you will realise why this category was not in this list earlier and best part is that when you headbang on some awesome song of this genre you will be in a whole new world you will experience what real metal is... m/m/m/m/m/
Thrash is lit, but sometimes it is too fast to headbang that it could break your neck. Groove metal is played at mid-tempo so that headbanging is much easier. It has the best groove in it.
Groove Metal is the most HEAVIEST Metal Genre their is. The Groove just makes you want to jump around and punch someone in the nose

Alternative metal is a music genre that infuses heavy metal with influences from alternative rock and other genres normally associated with metal. Yeah yeah, I'm biased towards this genre by a lot but let's be honest here, this is full of plenty of headbanging worthy bands. Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Korn, etc.
Death, Opeth, Nile, very good bands to move you.
