music! music! like many others, music is for me more than just something to put on in the background. from my favorite bands, to seeing live music, to learning to play the guitar, music is one of my key interests. while i am currently a consumer of music more than a producer, i would like to one day create something of my own. this page is a list of some of the genres i like, and the bands within them!
metal is super awesome. i mainly listen to death, black, and sludge, although doom, power, nu (if you consider that metal ;P), and thrash all also find their way onto my spotify from time to time. my favorite bands right now are (not exhaustive) probably Acid Bath, Skinless, Darkthrone, frightmare, Impetigo, Necrophagia, Ghoul, Venom, Type O Negative, Entombed, Mortician, Bethlehem, and Bathory. this list is not exhaustive at all, for the record. i'm always looking to listen to new bands, and i haven't covered the dozens of bands and artists i know and enjoy but do not consider my favorites.
while it might be strange, goth is actually my number two genre. i don't dress gothic, (blond), but i have a deep respect for the genre and for the style. determining if a band is gothic or if they are just death inspired is hard, so if you disagree with any of these bands listed being categorized this way, i apologize. regardless, my favorite bands have got to be Bauhaus, The Cure, Christian Death, London After Midnight, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, The Cramps, Scary Bitches, The Awakening, Voodoo Church, and 45 Grave.
while these are my big genres, it doesn't mean that i don't like anything else. my 4th biggest genre is probably either alternative rock or industrial. i also enjoy pop and rock, and sometimes hip hop. my favorite bands and artists that i wouldn't categorize as metal or goth i normally listen to are Chemlab, KMFDM, Genitorturers, Rob Zombie, Abandoned Pools, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Lana Del Rey, Ethel Cain, Ayesha Erotica, New Order, Alice in Chains, Hole, Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran... and Weird Al Yankovic.
