Sonic Youth 'diRty'

Sun Worship - Elder Gods This is like being lost in a mountainous forest at night. You know there are hungry eyes on you but have no clue when they're going to strike.

Every night, however bright, contains its flicker of darkness. Such it is with the human soul, as we move through sunlit days that yet cast long shadows...

Paradise Lost - Gothic

There is some hour or two in the night when is little darker, between 1 and 3 pm. I found more from my collection

Hey neat, me too

My earliest memory of listening to metal was around ´92 while listening to Guns N Roses on my brothers walkman while going on vacation to Norway. After that vacation i would sometimes listen to some of the album my brother owned. Stuff like Body Count, Pantera, Metallica. But i only liked a few songs, never the whole album. Then i was about 14 i really got into rap music and that lasted about a year 5 until i got bored with the new wave of rappers. So when i was about 20 i decided to rekindle my love for metal. I remember seeing Korn on TV when their album "Follow The Leader" dropped and that was the perfect gateway album for me. It still had those hip hop influences i liked at the time but also the heaviness that was missing from hip hop. The next big influence was Rob Zombie. After having bought the DVD of "House of 1000 Corpses" i almost instantly fell in love with the soundtrack. So i started buying all his solo and White Zombie records which turn led me to other bands like Slayer, Misfits, Body Count and Pantera amongst other. When i turned 25 i decided it was time for something more extreme and started exploring black metal. I started fairly innocent with Satyricon since i really like their songs K.I.N.G. and The Pentagram burns. And after that i slowly worked my way up the list of famous/notorious black metal bands (Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, etc) and now 12 years later i´m still knees deep in the black metal genre just looking for the next band to discover. To this day black metal remains my biggest passion of all the metal genres that i´ve tried exploring. The thing is can´t imagine living without metal anymore. Even back in my youth it had a very strong attraction for me but as i got older it only got more intense. For me it has become a really cathartic medium through which i can channel my emotions whether it be anger, sadness or some other emotion. Living without metal would really diminish my quality of life.

See this a top 5 that is near impossible to do. Depending upon my mood and the season my top 5 will probably differ wildly, but i´ll give it a try nontheless. One thing is for sure that it will consist solely of Scandinavian bands. 1. Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky 2. Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi 3. Burzum - Burzum 4. Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse 5. Ulver - Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler

Hello at 10 and 11 P.M

Judas Priest - Turbo Lover

Been on a 1349 kick lately and i'm busy revisting all their albums at the moment. To me 1349 is one of the few bands that is keeping Norwegian black metal spirit alive. Their sound is just so utterly relentless and brutal like a jackhammer to the skull. I first started listening to them, like most people probably, because Frost is in the band. I really like the way they are heading with the newer material. The last two albums were a little bit more melodic and not just non stop blast beats. I even love the much hated "Revelations of the Black Flame" album. I can understand why many fans dislike it but there are some really atmospheric songs on that album. But regardless these guys have been improving with each album in my opinion. The new single also sounds quite promising and makes me look forward to the new record which will hopefully follow soon. I had the pleasure of seing them live back in 2014 in Oberhausen, Germany while they were doing a small club tour through Europe. It was without a doubt one of the best and most insane performances i've ever seen. Ravn had a stage presence like i've never seen before screaming like a maniac and looking like he was ready to beat up the front row audience. Also Frost did his fire breathing act at the beginning of the show and lit the ceiling of the club (more like a basement actually) on fire which was covered with those cardboard eggboxes which of course caught on fire. The first two song were just chaos while half the audience was choking on smoke and the fire extinguisher powder ? After the show i managed to snag a poster which i had signed by the band. I only recently got it framed for a place in my man cave.

watched a bit of your april episode. Overkill was the first Motorhead album i got (as a cassette). My punk friend took me into a record shop in Sydney in '81 to have me listen to the drum work by Filthy Animal Taylor. The first 'new release' album i bought of theirs was Iron Fist in '82 or 83?. Lemmy had previously been in Hawkwind which is why my friend had checked out what he was doing. he wasn't into metal...but i was.
