Your favourite band (or genres) excluding Hypocrisy

[Personified Hatred]

What are the bands, excluding Hypocrisy, you enjoy most? And what about your favourite genres?

I personally enjoy many Black and Death Metal bands, like - besides the classics - Frangar, Aborym, Spite Extreme Wing, Imposer, Sadist, Subhuman, Coram Lethe, Forgotten Tomb, Nemesis Inferi, Bloodthorn, Anorexia Nervosa, Limbonic Art, Forgotten Woods et cetera. I also like Thrash very much (just classics however; I'm not very expert about it). My favourite genres excluding Death, Black and Thrash Metal are Punk (every subgenre except Grindcore and Pop Punk), Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Dark Ambient, Darkwave and Grunge.

My favourite mainstream bands excluding Hypocrisy are Mayhem, Ulver, Black Sabbath and Metallica; out from Metal that's Nirvana.

Thrash: Beside the obviously (Big 4, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, etc.), I really enjoy Voivod (my favourite one in this genre), Evil Dead, Sepultura (old), Sadus, Vio-lence, Assassin, Sacrifice, Razor, etc.

Eh next to my extreme hunger for Death Metal and Death Thrash there is 1 genre which predominantly feeds my music addiction; Sludge.

Weedeater is by far my favourite sludge band but some others i listen to:
Kamni
Bongzilla
Eyehategod
Dopethrone
Brainoil
Sourvein
Rwake
Demonic Death Judge
(16)
Acid Bath
Kylesa
And many many more

And next to my lust for sludge i'm one of those weirdos that listens to a lot of Doom and Stoner rock....

Me too

And you've got good taste.

 

[Shamateur]

Do you play in a band?

No, I don't.
When I was a student I was growling in a black death metal band called "Eclipsed". It is still alive and has some live shows in Vladivostok from time to time. We have made video of our rehersal, I still own one copy, it's really brutal! I was invited to join it again few days ago, but I am no longer interrested in such gener, black riffs and screaming like a castrate, so I refused.

Do you drive to Hell in your car with such music?

 

[hetki]

Me too

And you've got good taste.

Thank you! I try to listen to a lot of different music, and constantly expand my horizons, but to be honest, most of all I love "old" bands and their music from the 90s era...

hetki
Do you drive to Hell in your car with such music?

Well, hope - no ))) only in the mountains ) but our mountain roads are very bad and sometimes just one step away from hell...

U know even our parents don't mind, if we turn on the music in the car. hahaha

And yet we never listen to music at the limit of the volume. I hate it when someone turns the music in the car so that the whole street had to listen to it. This is disgusting!

 

[Shamateur]

I imaging your parents headbanging while listening to Marduk or Immortal somewhere in the mountains...
How do they find your musical tastes?

My parents love the old rock. They are not too fond of metal, but they do interesting in it. And they're proud of my work in rock/metal zine.
Dad orders and periodically gives me CDs & DVDs with my with my favorite bands. And he's a music lover and he has good audio stereo system, including amplifiers and vinyl turntable and ELAC acoustics.

 

[Shamateur]

Yes, it's good.
Mine never listened to such geners and never undestand my tastes. They always found it as foollish waste of time and money.

-Katatonia
-Bloodbath
-Immortal
-At The Gates
-Septic Flesh
-Gojira

[Kobusfan]

Dude, you've got a cool mom! Mine would probably run away, screaming louder than the bands if she went to a Fest
Queen rocks! Used to listen to The Cranberries, but don't anymore. Some of their stuff is still cool though. Have any of you guys tried Decapitated?
