I was training a new casual at work today, and we ended up talking about music ... and dissing the radio just a little, LOL. So now I'm inspired to ask - what bands/genres do you listen to? What are you listening to, right now? What's the band/song you can't get out of your head? Favourite band?
Right now, I'm listening to Amorphis' Silver Bride for the millionth time, in a desperate attempt to survive until I can get my hands on their new album, Skyforged. (Need. NOW...) I'm a metalhead, and listen across most Euro-metal subgenres - melodeath, folk (loooove folk metal), symphonic, power, goth, some prog (DT, Opeth or Vanden Plas as opposed to Isis or Meshuggah, if you get my drift) a little doom, a little sympho black metal, whatever the awesomeness that you call 'modern' Enslaved is...
My favourite bands (amongst the many that I listen to and enjoy) would probably be Dark Tranquillity, Kamelot, Equilibrium and Leaves' Eyes; one of my favourite albums is probably Ayreon's The Human Equation. The latest album I've been loving on is Crimfall's As the Path Unfolds, the sound effects on this are just awesome...
Share! I want to know what we listen to while cleaning fakies in the fakie salon ... erm, bathroom/laundry/kitchen...

Anyone who knows me for any period of time eventually finds out about my one true love....Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is the singer of the bands Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. I'm like really, really obcessed with his voice for some reason. I even got his autograph one time....best frikkin day of my entire life. So yeah, I listen to those three bands almost exclusively. When I'm not listening to Maynard, I like stoner music (Bob Marley, Sublime, that sort of thing), classic and modern rock, and some metal. I'm also a huge fan of Dethklok, LOL.

You know my music taste is pretty bizzare skimble fingerpaints will listen to just about anything really, and I have a hard time tuning my car sterio to my music taste, cause there is such a huge mix of sh*t on there, from all sorts of metal to pop to techno/house ect. I will listen to everything bar opera, classical & jazz, even dont have a problem with country, I grew up a country girl so can put up with it. My fave stuff is anything with heaps of beat or heavy base, I love something that you can feel the beat <3

Right now, I'm listening to Amorphis' Silver Bride for the millionth time, in a desperate attempt to survive until I can get my hands on their new album, Skyforged. ARGH Amorphis RUINED themselves for me. I went to a concert of theirs. I'm going to be fully honest, I went to see Samael, who played before them. Amorphis has always been this band I like but didn't love (save for Black Winter Day, I LOVE that song) but I just can't listen to them after their truly terrible performance at this concert. ~_~;; I personally listen to all sorts of music from all sorts of genres but for the most part, what I listen to can be divided into "metal" and "electronica". Most of my favourite bands are metal. I love love love The Project Hate MCMXCIX. Absolute favourite band. A bit ironic as I prefer black metal. I also love Lord Belial, Tristania, Butterfly Temple, Orphaned Land, Samael, Swallow the Sun, Falkenbach, Týr, Turisas, Eluveitie, Negură Bunget, The Count Nosferatu Kommando (or whatever they're called now), Moi dix Mois, Seikima II, X-Japan, Strapping Young Lad, and a bunch more. For electronica, I love Grendel, And One, The Slants, Susumu Hirasawa, Angelspite, :wumpscut:, A-Moe, Aural Vampire, E Nomine, Zombie Nation, Dopestars Inc, Günther and the Sunshine Girls, Machoman, Blutengel, Orgy, KMFDM, Lords of Acid, and a bunch more. I lean more towards EBM and futurepop but I love certain others, too. For things that don't fall into these categories that I can think of on the top of my head... Iishi Yasushi (jazz fusion artist- if you've heard the Hellsing TV series soundtracks, that's him), Voltaire, Inkubus Sukkubus, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Cinema Strange, and more.

KK, I keep telling myself I NEED to get a hold of the first season of Dethklok, it's embarrassingly shameful that I haven't seen it. (One day, when I have lots of spare time...)
Hey, Zainin, was this Amorphis with or without Tomi Joutsen, just out of curiosity? (Since I'm probably never going to be able to see them, given that I live in Australia, why I'm even asking I don't know...) LOL, to each his own makes the world go around, I think!
Mmmmm, Swallow the Sun, Turisas and Eluveitie are awesome (although I'm not sure I've forgiven Eluveitie for the lack of metal and grunts in their latest album...)
Amy, you're the most interesting music fan around! (And you put up with all my stuff, even...)
