Darkthrone, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, Aura Noir, Bathory, Gorgoroth, some Emperor, Dødheimsgard, Anaal Nathrakh, some Satyricon, Ragnarok, The Legion, Khold, Nifelheim, Venom and alot of random stuff I come over. I havent bought any black metal records for ages though. The blues stole my attention But I also LOVE Thrash, and some death. Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath aswell. I'm probably gonna get killed by you guys on GMC(you have to find me first!) when I say this, but I more or less HATE most metal genres, excluding what I mentioned above and a few other I just started listening to Pantera 5 mintues ago btw, awesome stuff.

Lately, ive been listening to a lot of doomish sludgish drone metal, seems fit my feelings at the moment. Id still pick old school Grind though just because of a few bands that reminds me how grate the 70's and 80's Grindhouse movies were. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I was choosing between that and doom, wich wasn't there. Or death, or black, or thrash, or drone, or.. Yeah, I just can't decide, but my favourite would be some kind of doomish folk wich influences of black and post rock (wich basically means I'm a huge Agalloch fanboy), or just plain old doomdeath (old katatonia <3). I would've picked progressive, but I hate dream theatre and stuff, so I just couldnt have picked it because of that. And I also have to say that I hate a lot of metal genres, mostly power and heavy that sounds like Iron Maiden.

The millions of genre's kind of bother me, they seem to cause people to miss a lot of good music by avoiding entire styles. For instance, I have yet to find a pirate metal band I liked, but I'm not gonna give up on the genre cause I imagine there has got to be one that is crazy good. 3. It really depends on the day and atmosphere. When I'm sleeping I like melodic stuff, when i'm drunk with friends I listen to a lot of Folk/epic stuff (especially Korpiklaani's - Wooden Pints) 4. I love Le Scrawl and don't think they can really be categorized. Good luck trying though. Like Grind-ska-Jazz-Polka of death or something.

"indie", metal, and punk music is full of that crap. it bugs the hell out of me. just listen to the freaking music, damn! sorry. that was wayy ranting and off topic. i am not trying to argue with anyone.

Im glad i love pretty much every genre, but not every band of course. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
