metal_wrath
I dip my forefinger...
I'm black (well, half-black) and I love metal and plenty of prog rock too. My 3 favorite bands are probably Opeth, Dark Tranquillity and Scar Symmetry.
But I like lots of other metal stuff too: God Forbid, Killswitch Engage (yeah, I know, that makes me a poser, whatever), Amorphis, Mastodon, Isis, The Ocean, Neurosis, Pelican, lots more.
And just as to not totally blow the stereotype I like rap too. Good stuff like David Banner, Public Enemy, Wu-Tang, DMX......not this MTV fluffball rap garbage they have today.
How can you mention David Banner and DMX in the same sentence as Public Enemy or Wu-Tang. DMX is especially commercial and fake IMO
