damn some of you people listen to some good stuff
I mostly into black metal, NSBM, 80's-90's thrash (think Protector and Assassin) and folky type metal (korpiklaani, svara, skyforger). And I have always had a special place for Industrail music.. and I mean real Industrial none of that shitty ass fag dance crap they play in clubs now with all these retarded download only bands. fuck your downloads, be a man and make an album if your music is even worth listening to.
I used to live in Edmonton and I really miss all the local metal there, Hails to Kriticos, Dead Jesus, Quietus and Mortillery.
some other good stuff I like:
Wintersun
Immortal
Rhapsody
KMFDM
Alkonost
Valinor ( Polish )
Dissection
Faerghail
Inquinok
Wolven Ancestry ( awesome band from Sudbury )
Sargeist
I could go on forever

Ah you can never get into Black Metal until it wants you to like it. I used to hate the shit, I thought It sounded like crap and the vocals were annoying as hell. However one day it jsut sounded great.. listened to some old BM bands and never looked back. Part of what made early black metal black metal was the shitty sound liek it was from hell. Most guys didn't have the means to make and record good music.
Quorthon from Bathroy is the best example. He spent ALL of his money on his music and poured his heart and soul into it. The guy would record his music in a noisy warehouse BATHROOM with boxes of shit stacked all over and people working in the warehouse around him. Bathory is fucking great and has influenced nearly every metal band since he started to rock. Sadly Quorthon died of heart failure in 2004
we had petitioned to trade Brett Micheals for him back but the God's aren't cooperating haha
