I'm into everything, except modern pop. For rap, Public Enemy is my favorite. Their latest album Most of my heroes still don't appear on no stamps doesn't let loose at all. A full on album that's as powerful as Fight the Power no doubt. It's such a shame how they get no publicity anymore. I enjoy country music, I'll say Johnny Cash is my favorite. Dad gave me his vinyls which had a few Cash songs, not to mention I have one of his albums. Pink Floyd is probally my favorite psychedelic rock band, along side the Byrds. My favorite grunge band goes to Soundgarden no doubt. Still get a kick from the Louder than Love album. Hard rock goes to Guns N' Roses, have every album form Appetite to Chinese. All I can think of for right now.

I'm also into swing like frank sinatra. I love to relax to soft acoustic stuff like dave matthews and pete murray. Pretty much everything I can listen to except for pop and modern R&B. Modern rap is a bit meh, but I enjoy 90's rap/hip-hop. Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk

The score can make a movie what it is, generally if the score is amazing I tend to enjoy the movie more. I forgot, I also like Shoegaze rock, Swervedriver is an awesome band to drive to, not everyones cup of tea but worth a listen. Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk

I've always liked the "grunge" stuff, though I just think of it as being rock music. I'm really happy with the new material by AIC and Soundgarden, as well as the classics like Dirt, Superunknown, Ten, Nevermind... that's when I was growing up. Soundtrack to my teenage years.Lately I've been listening to a ton of Queens Of The Stone Age and solo Jerry Cantrell. Love Rush and Pink Floyd. I'm also very into medieval a cappella church music, some of the Scandinavian folk revival groups like Hedningarna, some goth (Sisters Of Mercy, FOTN), industrial (Ministry, Skinny Puppy), post-punk (Swans, Joy Division), a little bit of bluegrass, classical (favorite right now is Debussy), modern hip hop (especially El-P, Aesop Rock, Sage Francis), and bands like Portishead, TV On The Radio... Mars Volta/ATDI... Jeff Buckley... But really, mostly metal.

I'm also into a lot of grunge/alternative stuff, punk, hardcore, post-hardcore/screamo, some progressive rock, some rap, trip hop, some industrial, quite into Mogwai atm (they're instrumental/post-rock, I think) and Aphex Twin (whatever you class him as). I'd like to expand my collection of non-metal (and metal) stuff, though.

Re: Other Genre's

The only other genre of music I really enjoy listening to is hardcore punk' date='bands like The Exploited, The Addicts, Fucktard and bands of that nature, other than that I listen to metal almost exclusively.[/quote'] Give Discharge a try, they influenced a ton of black and death metal bands.

I've probably already said this, but I mainly like Celtic folk music as my non-metal go-to genre. I also very occasionally listen to some worship bands and electronica. Hard rock's also enjoyable, usually I go for 70's to 80's material. And also some dijeridoo music.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
