Killswitch, unearth, converge, as i lay dying, poison the well, bleeding through. These bands make me want to make my last stand in which I can not win. Fight off 50 men and just do whatever I can to end them and this world. oomplete anarchy,chaos and violence.
Take a nap emo kid, you'll feel better.
Nevertheless, just about every musical act I admire evokes a certain "something." However, the ones that do so most effectively remind me of my love for music, as I would still so ardently claim that of all forms of art, music is the most expressive.
To name a few overwhelmingly "evocative" bands:
Dream Theater: I know that ever since I've signed on to this board, I've made this opinion abundantly clear, to the point of undue irritation for some, but I feel compellingly obliged to do so again. Only one other band has the ability to captivate me so thoroughly, that band to be mentioned further on, and their breathtakingly eclectic compositions warrant a variety of emotions within me. Anybody who dismisses them as meaningless self-indulgence is terribly mislead, and may need to re-evaluate their listen by looking past the jaw-dropping musical sections to uncover some affluent depth. I could write an essay about this band, but I imagine that this isn't exactly the appropriate place...anyway, for the sake of paraphrasing, I suppose I can say that this band..."enlightens" me, if you will.
Death: I doubt this requires an explanation, since the feeling seems almost universal among the metal community, but I'll offer one anyway. Death elicits my passionately cynical side, which happens to account for about 90% of my personality.
Opeth: Amazing, their music composes such vivid somber images...
Johann-Sebastian Bach: I realize it isn't metal, but I feel obligated to mention him seeing as I prefer his music over the works of fellow Baroque-era composers including Vivaldi, as well as any other classical musician, and classical, being my single favorite genre of music aside from metal and jazz, deserves recognition. To avoid risking understatement, Bach is the paragon of musical excellence, and Beethoven and Mozart sucked his cock daily. Lay down your innocuous arguments, pseudo-intellectuals, you know who you are. I am fully aware that they all did not inhabit the same time period, thus rendering the event of Mozart performing fellatio on Bach impossible. I know it occurred, just trust me.
Rush: My favorite band of all time. Their songs possess such personal relevance to me, it's inexplicable. Actually, it isn't all that difficult to explain, I'm just slothful.
I could continue forever, and I would if it weren't so unbelievably pointless.
