My favourite genres of metal are melodic, death, death/grind, technical, black, Avante-Garde, heavy, thrash, and blackened death. I really enjoy music with both technical proficiency and a well-thought-out lyrical meaning. I compose classical music, review music, programme video games, and practise death metal vocals. I'm an atheist, and I feel that the corrupted, twisted way that the dogmatic religions have twisted their books of faith are the root causes of most of the societal problems we experience today.
I have far too many favourite bands to list exhaustively, but here's a taste of it.
Death, Goatwhore, God Dethroned, Behemoth, Lazarus A.D., All Shall Perish, Job for a Cowboy, Amon Amarth, Sodom, Cattle Decapitation, Hate, Blackguard, Profugus Mortis, Origin, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Deicide, In Flames, Megadeth, Melechesh, Unbreakable Hatred, GWAR, Tool, Absu, Lost Soul, Wretched, Hour of Penance, Bolt Thrower, Septic Flesh, Universum, The Neologist, Circle of Silence, Qube, Artas, Martyr, Atheist, Mindwork, Obituary, Obscura, Bloodshot Dawn, Necrophagist, Neuraxis, Vader, Bodyfarm, Eye of Minerva, Atheretic, Augury, Anata, Severed Savior, Deeds of Flesh, Suffocation, Frozen Infinity, Tormention, and Mechina.
Add me on MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, or Skype (pr0nogo) if you want to talk. Stay metal!
