All the time although in perhaps a slightly different context. If I watch athletics on the TV I just hear “Running Free” by Iron Maiden, nor can I take paracetamol without “Painkiller” by Judas Priest blarring in my head. A stroll in the park or woods with my girlfriend just has “Walk” by Pantera on memory loop. Driving north just puts Darkthrone in my head with “A Blaze In The Northern Sky”. Hypnotist on TV? “Mass Hypnosis” by Sepultura. Lost count of how many times during meetings if someone raises that there’s not enough time to discuss something I hear Anthrax “Got The Time”. Need to replace the batteries in the xbox controller? “Battery Acid Enema” by Autopsy. Was forced to attend my nephews holy communion last year and spent the entire time in the church running through songs with the word ‘altar’ in the title. “Altars” by Altarage came up a lot, but “Altar Of Sacrifice” by Slayer as well as “Altar Of Deceit” by Triptykon kept me occupied also. Life is just shit without metal.

Opeth "Morningrise"

Shostakovich - Cello Concerto #1 ...the wife and I are out to see an orchestra in New Hampshire. Holy shit, what a challenging piece to play...

Don't miss out on Arthur Brown. Definite influence on shock rock and early heavy metal here -- "corpsepaint" and high-pitched wailing from over 50 years ago.

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas Satyricon - Nemesis Divina Satyricon - The Shadowthrone Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky Yeah, I know, I'm such a Satyricon fanboy especially for their early stuff. Can't help it. No demos, no EPs, no live albums. That gets too tricky. De Mysteriis... is pretty much required imo. A Blaze in the Northern Sky, of course. I believe these five albums are essential listening and among the best music ever made.

Mortician - Chainsaw Dismemberment

Been looping these all morning: Satyricon - "Min Hyllest Til Vinterland" Paradise Lost - "Another Desire" Katatonia - "Gone"

Der Sturmer / Wehrhammer

Behexen - Night of the Blasphemy (Rituale Satanum - 2000 - Sinister Figure) Ornette Coleman - Peace (The Shape of Jazz to Come - 1959 - Atlantic 1317) Metal Church - [My Favourite] Nightmare (Metal Church - 1984 - Ground Zero Records) Blut Aus Nord - Rigsthula (Ultima Thulee - 1995 - Impure Creations Records) Cynic - Kindly Bent To Free Us (Kindly Bent To Free Us - 2014 - Season of Mist) Overkill - Shred - (Under The Influence - 1988 - Megaforce Records) Machine Head - Wolves - (The Blackening - 2007 - Roadrunner Records) Lurk - Tale Blade - (Fringe - 2016 - Transcending Obscurity Records) Grave Miasma - Kussa'u Tibtihu - (Exalted Emanations - 2009 - Sepulchral Voice Records) Mayhem - Pure Fucking Armageddon - (Live in Leipzig - 1993 - Obscure Plasma)

They also played Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade", but the Shostakovich piece was the highlight for me. Small local orchestra, and it wasn't perfect, but somehow I liked it better because of that. And I agree, there's something special about the dynamic range and immediacy of classical music in a live setting. NP: Light Dweller - Incandescent Crucifix ...yeah, really impressed by this. One man project. @MacabreEternal and @Will might get into it as well. Svartidaudi - Revelations Of The Red Sword

Great albums, Depraved. Five perfect releases. Those first three Satyricon albums are amazing and in many ways the height of the genre. All the more frustrating that they went elsewhere with the sound to sit into a sort of rock pocket with minimal atmospherics

Taake - Nattestid Ser Porten Vid

Jungle Rot - Fueled By Hate

Immortal "Pure Holocaust" on CD as currently only have the digital copy.

If you're interested in going in more of a grind direction, maybe try these: Daughters Discordance Axis Brutal Truth Some screamo from Puritan and Reversal Of Man: Unhuman does super clean Necrophagist-influenced modern tech with varied vocals: Some literally unhinged messy Czech-death from !T.O.O.H.!: If you can handle dark/black metal, Bethlehem's "Dictius Te Necare" has one of the more extreme vocal performances I've heard: I can't be of much service if you just want more examples of the metalcore stuff that you posted, but that style isn't too hard to come by. Hopefully some of the above will appeal.

maybe it's blasphemous list.Cause i do not mention to mayhem album's.but the show must go on.so here is my list 1. Dissection - Storm Of The Light Bane 2 Windir - Arntor 3 Gorgoroth - Pentagram 4 Marduk - Opus Nocturne 5 Darkthrone - a blaze in the northern Sky

Thin Lizzy - Boys Are Back in Town Boston - Peace of Mind ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin' Billy Idol - Rebel Yell Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Comin' Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart Warlock - All We Are Motley Crue - Looks That Kill Suicidal Tendencies - The Feeling's Back WASP - Cries in the Night But this is my work playlist, so no extreme metal.
