    The Last.FM thread

    There was a time when 9/10 of these were extreme metal. I'm on a bit of an Immortal binge, though, so maybe that'll revert soon...

    Favorite Metal Sub-genres (This time with a poll :) )

    Voted black (though not the blood and soil far right stuff, I just dig the atmosphere). Closely followed by doom, but I could probably think of bands out of every sub-genre on that list I dig - nu metal a bit tricky tbf. I love deftones/RATM, but not sure they’d be classified as such

    Religion Amongst Metalheads

    Ticked Abrahamic, whatever that means lol. I'm loosely a Christian I suppose, but I'm not particularly devout and haven't followed it for years.

    Capitalism vs Communism

    Me, a socialist, logs in to this thread to see what intelligent discussion is taking place. Apparently America is socialist and so was Hitler. Think I'll leave the thread there...

    Post-Punk/Gothic Rock/New Wave etc

    How do we feel about Dead Can Dance? Earlier stuff was more explicitly gothic rock, but their more recent stuff experiments a lot with Arabic/Greek folk music.

    Could you please change my name to redscot? Made this account years ago. Want to use the same email, but not the same username.

    Varg is a nutter, murderer and God knows what else. If he wasn't a musician he'd be reviled by anybody. I'll admit I've not heard his records mind, but he's not really given me the biggest motivation to. There's a lot of bands on my "to listen to" list before him. And I mean a lot.

    Which European country should I move to, to form serious band?

    I was about to say, there's a brilliant prog AND metal scene going on in Australia. Much better than where I live. Stay there man!

    What do you think Katatonia will do with their next album?

    I really loved the electronic/ambient influence on songs like the Longest Year. I know I may be isolated saying that on a metal forum, but I think Katatonia do atmosphere better than a lot of bands. If I want their death/doom stuff, it's always there. Their new stuff doesn't necessarily have to...
