Oh my god!! I'm sorry I bumped an older topic, but I love metal. I'm a total metal / alternative girl. XD

I play in two metal bands! One of them is a post-metal kind of band, and the other is an industrial / (black) metal band.

Most people I talk to think I'm so weird for listening to some of the obscure bands I listen to. Let me list a few of my favorite songs here.

Trollheim's Grott - Little Shop of Scalpels


Opeth - The Lotus Eater


Chthonic - Takao


Rotting Christ - In Yumen / Xibalba

I need me some metal right about now.  My day sucked hard. 

I used to not like it but for some reason I started loving it this year.  I especially like symphonic metal with my favorite being Nightwish right now.  I use my music subscription to listen to a wide variety of other metal too.  I have a lot to catch up on.

Devildriver is my favorite. I can't get enough of them. Also Lamb of God.

Deborah,
  It's funny that you mention Nightwish. I have Google Play, and during one of my driving sessions listening to Devildriver, they showed up on my suggestion list. I gave them a play, and ended up adding them to my library. They remind me somewhat of a Symphonic Disney Metal band, lol. But in a good way!

I know Killing Joke isn't really considered metal, but they do have some significant metal influences:



I personally love their music! Anybody else?

Absolutely. A lot of metal bands cite them as an influence.

Everyone get your old Motorhead records out!

Whoo!! Which albums / songs are your favorite? I used to listen to Absolute Decent almost daily. There just such a powerful dark and apocalyptic feeling to their music. It's great when you're on public transport, headphones on and take in the atmosphere.

I also really liked their modern self-titled album, and I thought Pandemonium was a great industrial rock / metal record (although I didn't grow up with that album).

I found a nice pagan/folk metal band called Ulvesang. Very relaxing.

My boyfriend loves Nightwish too. I enjoy it as well. :3

A good one from King 810's recent mix tape - a mixture of groove metal and hip hop, I love it but not everyone's cup of tea



Gunn writes great lyrics, example from this song being:

'I'm in the mirror trying to find my father in my face
So I can shoot myself right in that very place'

Rocking an S.O.B. show from Belgium, 1989 at the moment.

CLASSIC Grind!!

Just wondering if there are any other metalheads around here from the GTA or Ontario, Canada in general? Find since coming out as trans I involuntarily distanced myself from the metal community. I still go to shows but miss having folks to talk metal with on a regular basis in real life. Would be cool if there are other trans metalheads in the area or in the province

I've been really into this song lately

Not sure on that one, but UK here!

I just found out that Adam "Blackula" Young committed suicide on the 10th of June.

Some of you may remember him from his death metal / grindcore project called Sockweb, which features his nine year old daughter Joanie on vocals (and she also wrote all the lyrics). The music videos were pretty popular and I remember how the videos made me smile and wonder how much fun it must be to have such a good relationship with your father to be able to make music together like this. What a terrible way to end such a positive thing.

Rest in peace Adam. I hope Joanie is coping well.

I used to listen to lots of metal near the end of high school. I've been getting back into it recently. Back then I was really into Dethklok and Cannibal Corpse. Still think those bands are great, but now I'm really liking Testament's sound.

This is probably one of my favorite metal songs. That bass line is so sick...  I miss my bass guitar now....

One of my favorite bands is Scar Symmetry. Their subject matter is pretty sci-fi and New Age.
