'Spring Music' Listening Habits

[David Gold]

Post 'em here!

 

[zekeyou]

Fu Manchu
Old Death Angel/Testament
Agalloch
Volbeat
Winterhawk

Stuff on the lighter side of things....

Oh yeah, Pursuit as well...

 

[Darth Grimby]

I also listen to classic Testament in Spring, zeke. Plus other old thrash like Forbidden, Voivod, Sanctuary.
Korpiklaani is fun in the spring too.

 

[zekeyou]

Yeah, Forbidden's debut is another one. I like that stuff year round, but spring/summer always reminds me of being in high school and kind of nostalgic for that kind of 'freedom' so I always turn back to what I was listening to the most then...

 

[MentallyAbstract]

I don't really have any habits. I usually just grab whatever attracts my attention at the moment. Although when it starts warming up, I get in the mood for some classic rock like AC DC.

 

[phantomfreak]

My listening habits don't change from season to season.

 

[sdmf2]

less doom and black metal. more thrash and death metal.... and classic stuff like Judas Priest and Motorhead.

 

[FuneralWedding]

stoner metal stuff like Goatsnake, Sleep, High on Fire, and The Sword.

 

[TheCrab]

My music moods alter more with less concrete stuff...how stuff in my life is going, school, relationships (platonic and romantic), etc.

It also changes day to day, week to week, etc.

 

[Peterk]

My listening habits don't change from season to season.

kinda the same here...

 

[From the Miasma]

I go straight for the folky stuff... Finntroll, Ensiferum, Eluveitie, etc. And always a few spins of Opeth's MAYH and Orchid

 

[Dauden]

A very interesting idea, my changes actually change a lot season to season, especially from winter to summer. For me...

Post-rock
Death metal/deathcore: This tends to come in more once it gets actually hot out, but nice weather puts me in the mood for it
Melodic black metal: Stuff like Dimmu or Naglfar. I also love Summoning at night in the spring/summer
Folk/Folk metal: Though I do listen to it a lot in the dead of winter too, but certain stuff is better in ice weather
Pursuit of the Sun: This album kicked off the beginning of summer/end of spring last year when I went to a nearby forest, took a ton of pictures, with Pursuit on my headphones, and it was fantastic.
Power Metal: I listen to less than I used to years ago, but I sure seem to like power metal a lot more when its nice out, been listening to a lot of Iced Earth lately too.

A seasonless classic:

 

[aimless nomad]

I haven't noticed myself having any particular seasonal preferences in music. The new Eluveitie came in the mail the other day though, I have a feeling it's going to be in my CD player for quite a while. Probably with some Suidakra and Finntroll. Maybe I do tend toward the folky stuff in the spring...

 

[ShadarLogoth]

i notice myself reaching for skyclad alot more often in the spring/summer than i do the rest of the year.

 

[sdmf2]

I was just listening to some classic Testament and Slayer the past couple of days and its fucking awesome Spring music. so energetic and upbeat, great stuff.

 

[TheTechnogoat]

joanna newsom is great spring music

 

[Dauden]

How could I forget Korpiklaani? I personally prefer folk and viking metal type stuff in the winter, unless its hilarious fun like the Korp, and then its perfect spring/summer weather, especially with a good brew of course.

 

[Frosties]

Well, when it starts getting sunny here, I really enjoy listening to Dredg.

I find Alcest and Agalloch come out more in spring!
