Now, don't get to thinking I just listen to ONLY metal. Albeit, that is what a lot of my time is spent doing, I also listen to classical score. Jeremy Soule, Adrian von Ziegler, Chopin, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, Two Steps from Hell, Nox Arcana, and the like. I also play lots of video games and read epic fantasy books. I'm currently in the middle of A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin (NO SPOILERS PLEASE!). I have read all of "The Wheel of Time" books by Robert Jordan, damn near all Drizzt Do'Urden books by R. A. Salvatore, "The Sword of Truth" books by Terry Goodkind, and of course, "The Lord of the Rings" by J. R. R. Tolkien. I am also in the middle of reading H. P. Lovecraft's complete fiction. There, that's a little about myself.
