CRADLE OF FILTH!!!! Seriously, I love em.

I dont care what you say about Dani Filth, to hit growls that high without sounding gay is an accomplishment, and their drummer and keyboards are sick as hell.

 

[Beelzebub]

Their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name made me want to vomit. It was sacrilegious.

 

[Thraxz]

Cruachan (Since I GUESS you can consider asmegin black metal)
Asmegin

I like a few songs, I love Nymphetamine (the song). It is kind of cool how hits those notes, but I always got the impression that he was gay. Seriously my gaydar kind of picked it up, but I could be wrong.
