I learned the other day that "Petrichor" (and Petrychor, by proxy) is defined as the scent of rain on dry earth. If that's not the most beautiful word I've ever heard, I'll eat my hat.
The thing with Black Metal is that most of the bands i know are not good at all. That´s probably the reaon i never listened to much
what bands have you listened to?

Just want to point out that people often subconsciously ascribe (non-semantic) beauty to a word that has a beautiful meaning, regardless of how it actually sounds or spells out (not saying that that has to be the case here, but just a fun thought). In my opinion "shit" is a more beautiful word than "love", when strictly looking at the sound of it.
Feeling the scent of rain on dry earth is a wonderful sensation.
I will never be able to separate the word "petrichor" from the music by the band Petrychor (which happens to sound EXACTLY like the scent of rain on dry earth!)
edit: Speak of the devil, walking to work this morning was petrichor-tastic. Smelled great. I rather regret not sync-ing the experience to Petrychor.
