Hardcore Metal junky here; from it's generic form to sub-genres such as Grindcore, Heavy, Thrash, Punk *shudders punk rock*, Symphonic (pred. Swedish, but also interested in the Scand/Norwegian scenes), Death/Doom/whatever you want to name it, Classic, Goth, Gore, Stoner rooting into the psychaedelic sounds of the 60's, Industrial, EMO, Funk, the revivals, the upheavals, the underground (preference yourself), Avant-garde, new waves, alternative/progressive... i mean it's all stuff i've got somewhere in my collection. Metal is music itself if you can understand. 🙂
Would be long-winded if i went through all subsets, but here's a quick copy and paste from my WinAmp playlist at the moment.... Jack off Jill, Refused, Tool, Mad Capsules Market, The Locust, Children of Bodom, Opeth, My Dying Bride, Blue Oyster Cult, Gruntsplatter, Cattlepress, Deftones, The Gathering, Nothingface, Pantera, Honkeyball, The Berzerker, RATM, Napalm Death, Autonomy, Fractal Jack, Otep, Still Breathing, Vacant Stare, Bill Hicks, Carcass... you get the idea.
I think the only Metal offset i don't find appealing is Glam and a few bands akin to Nu-Metal ...yeah, screw those image pits. But don't get me wrong, i still love (a few) other music scenes, Jazz (Post, Fusion, Experimental... Keith Jarrett, Geoge Benson, Tim/Jeff Buckley, contemporary stuff mainly and Beat Poets, yeah man... the Allen Ginsberg, Willian. S Burroughs, Bill Hicks of our time), Rock (Grunge a.k.a Nirvana and the plaster-cast scene that followed) ...just no time to be honest.
