~Mere~

Yeah, I like when that happens Miasma - Changes (did I ruin it? lol)

Utumno - Across the Horizon & Light of Day

Gorement - The Ending Quest

Hello. Welcome

Um yeah If only it was that easy. I can think of others who are actually more deserving.

I heard there was chanting so I was intrigued lol

Me too! Had to check it out after reading the comments between you & Iceni. Good stuff.

Maveth - Coils of the Black Earth

Sabbat - Evoke

South of Heaven is one of my faves. How are fans gonna help Tom's voice which sounds like garbage IMO. And Lemmy sounds like he's been dead for years (sorry Dave )

Malevolent Creation - Retribution

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

I've had friends who were into it & my brothers too, so it's not completely foreign to me, it was just never my thing.

It's been a long time since I've heard Joy Division, and it wasn't by choice so I don't remember what they sounds like, but I trust your comparison. You def appreciate the more obscure than I.

Ooooo, I just couldn't get into that one. I thought their first album was ok though.

Off course he doesn't need to be metal. i's just that my ex wouldn't let me listen to my music and was always taking my cd's out of stereo to never be seen again, deleting music I had saved in the laptop and leaving my headphones on the floor on purpose so the dogs would eat them. I could only listen to music when he was away (he was unemployed) and every gig I wanted to go to that didn't include him (all metal gigs) would result in war and him not speaking to me for weeks before and after the gig. My band shirts would go 'missing' or he would 'borrow' them to go painting. And when he was drunk my music and appearance was a reason to pick a fight. When I finally got rid of him I promised myself to never let a man try to change me or come between me and my music again. I have actually been avoiding men all together and have refused dates etc for nearly a year (since we split). I know this guy is not my ex and I'm not really comparing them, I'm just terrified to end up with someone who hates my music and won't let me play it. I guess that is one of the main reasons I'm happy he is abroad. It all kinda caught me off guard tbh. Honestly I don't think it was your choice in music but the mere fact that he was an abusive a-hole who knew how to "get" to you through those things. It's good to hear that you got away from that situation. I completely understand your apprehensions of feeling vulnerable with opening yourself up to someone else due to not trusting your judgement (in men) or their sincerity but don't change who you are or worry about how high your standards are cause the right person will come along and want to be with you for who you are and everything that comes along with being with you.

I don't think you should stop talking to him because it seems like you guys have connected on some level for you to have developed (those type of) feelings. If nothing more serious ever comes about @ least you have a trusted friend to reach out to. Hope you feel better Edit: I am probably the last person that should be giving out any kind of relationship advise so maybe you should just disregard anything I say or do the complete opposite lol

Good luck old man

If I didn't have kids I probably wouldn't do anything for Christmas either. They're usually not home for the day of, but I try and be festive otherwise.

Opeth - Deliverance (album)

I don't drink beer either or soda. I'll take mine served neat

Desultory - Into Eternity

Hi Midi!

Diabolical Masquerade - Death's Design
