The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

Introduction: What do you listen to?

Bands, genres. Name it all!

There are few metalgenres I don't enjoy that much, metalcore and pure doom would be two of those. I have outgrown most power metal and all its siblings as well as heavy metal and thrash, and goth never did that much to me.

Everything else though, I swallow whole.

My favorite bands would be Insomnium and Kamelot. For more information, check www.last.fm/user/LeaTelamon ;)

Hells ya, reminiscent of Finntroll. Music that makes you wanna grab a flagon of mead and a broadsword and regale your mates with a tale of that time you ransacked a village of heathens and pillaged their goats and silver, and then repeatedly slap the wooden table your all sitting at whilst laughing hardily.

. . . this concludes my Scrubs style hyperbolic daydream.

I like TotalSelfHatred (Finland) and Thy Light (Brazil.) Below is a fan vid of the song "Total Self Hatred" by TotalSelfHatred.

I was an old school metalhead from the 80's...
Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Death Angel, etc.....
Still love slayer, and withthe new metallica album Death Magnetic, I like my first metallica albuim since 1986! Was not a fan during the Newsted years. And one of my favorite songs by Slayer is READ BETWEEN THE LIES from the album South of Heaven. Love it.

I'm always on the lookout for some good music, although I mostly listen to Punk now.

Back in the day I listened to Metallica, Megadeth, DRI, Pantera, and a lot of lesser known bands that I would get demo tapes of at the local indy music store.

Honestly, the whole subgenera categorization game among the metal community is one of my biggest pet peeves. I've listened to, and participated in, so damn many debates about whether (insert band name) is metalcore or post-hardcore or anti-post-prenatal chicken sodomy that I was almost denied medical insurance for a preexisting brain tumor (here i take a brief comedic pause to adjust my necktie and suggest that I receive inadequate respect). So I've widdled my classifications down to a frankensteinian system of: This Good! or This Bad!

That being said, I present to you a sampling of This Good!:

Nothingface
Acid Bath
Bleed the Sky
Hypocrisy
In Flames
Sybreed
The Absence
Arch Enemy
Lamb of God (pre Sacrament days)
Soulfly
Sepultura
Chimaira
Cradle of Filth
Dååth
Danzig
Merciful Fate/King Diamond
Dog Fashion Disco
Polkadot Cadaver
DevilDriver
Goatwhore
God Dethroned
Gojira
Grave
GWAR
Lizzy Borden
Mnemic
Otep
Ozzy/Black Sabbath
Pantera
Threat Signal
Type O Negative
Sevendust

. . . Just off the top of the ol' noodle.

My top 3 genres of Metal in no order: Power Metal, Melodic-Death Metal and Thrash Metal.
My top 3 all-time favorite bands in no order: Rush, Megadeth and Sonata Arctica. I could listen to any song by those 3 and be content anytime of anyday, thats why I say "top 3 of all-time"

Right now I'm getting into a lot of Black Metal. My romanian friend let me listen to Dimmu Borgir's album "For All Tid" and once I found some songs off of "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" I was hooked. I'm getting into Emperor, Månegarm and Immortal. I'm also starting to really dig King Diamond too, I like the higher pitch and lower tone voices all the same. Folk Metal is big with me at the moment as well, so far my top 3 would be Korpikaani, Heidevolk and Týr. I'm still looking into it though, if anyone has suggestions then feel free to PM me or something. Some people will surely dislike me for this but, I think Skid Row and Twisted Sister are good bands. Music to me is Art in the form of audio so I listen to what is pleasing to my ears. Antestor and Skillet are obviously Christian outfits but I won't deny they are good bands just because of that.

DISLIKES: Groove Metal *except for Pantera*, Screamo, Mathcore *look it up if you want a headache or torture music*
I also like: Classic Metal *Judas Priest, Raven, Accept, ect*, all forms of Rock *especially Classic Rock and Punk* and some Alternative bands *Disturbed, SR-71, Red Hot Chilli Peppers*
