All I can say is that my all time favorite song, any artist, type of music, ANYTHING, EVER, is....
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal
I'm getting chills as I type this. That song is perfection in music, art, imagination, creativity, you name it.
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black is up there, too but it pails in comparison to Black Rose Immortal.
Some current favorite artists are:
Deeds of Flesh
Lamb of God
Paul Oakenfold
VNV Nation
Velvet Acid Christ
Eternal Suffering
Dark Tranquillity
Fuck I could go on forever.
