Emperor

 

Immortal

 

Dimmu Borgir (For All Tid and Stormblast, I like their older stuff better)

 

Satyricon (I don't mind listening to Now, Diabloical but its just not my cup of tea)

 

Amon Amarth

 

Behemoth

 

Opeth

 

Ancient

 

Arch Enemy

 

Arcturus

 

At The Gates

 

Borknagar

 

Burzum

 

Dark Tranquility

 

Slayer

 

 

 

I'd be hard pressed to say which was my favourite, but looking at which was most played during the past week, I'd have to say Arcturus or Borknagar.

 

 

 

I'm not even going to get into the conversation of which metal band is the best, considering there are like one bajillion sub genres...

Summoning

 

Aarni

 

Dream Theater

 

Burzum

 

Mayhem

 

Black Sabbath

 

Behemoth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably a lot more I could add to that list, those are some of my favorites though.

^In Flames isn't too bad at all IMO.

 

 

 

But anyway, i'll just say 2:

 

 

 

Agalloch - I love their work. They are like a mixture of doom metal, black metal, folk as well as progressive metal. Simply put dark metal.

 

 

 

Amorphis - Just an awesome metal band from Finland. They were originally death but have evolved into just normal heavy metal now with a little bit of melodic death.

Korn, Nirvana, Metallica, Megadeth, Pearl Jam.

 

 

 

Classic rock -

 

 

 

Rush!

Led Zeppelin!

 

 

 

What? Metallica and Megadeth are classics, but Korn isn't metal, Nirvana isn't metal, nor is most of the rest...

I'd say that some of Korn's stuff is nu-metal. 'Here to Stay' is an absolute killer song. My knowledge of them is limited to their greatest hits CD by the way.

The list can continue many lines more.

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

Oops yeah their old stuff was good...But then again, nu-metal is the most frowned upon sub-genre of metal.

Metal fans, check out my band!
