Love all flavours of metal, although, going through a symphonic goth metal stage at the moment. I'm sure I'll get to the other side soon! :O

More more rock (glam, punk, post punk) than metal but still partial to some. Been listening to some Doom Metal this year, Windhand, Messa, Towers...

Also love black Sabbath, ministry, janes addiction, and faith no more.

Had a listen to a few of the bands in the genre. Not my thing. Vocals are way too gutteral. Cryptopsy excepted. They were alright. I've seen a couple of these bands live. Just wasnt aware of the genre name.

Im not massive in to metal but I do like System Of A Down. I saw them live in Auckland in 2002 and been a fan ever since.

I do love some of the fusion/progressive metal stuff though, bands like The Algorithm, Animals As Leaders and Enter Shikari.

The Algorithm is unreal, How they make great tracks with the fusion of so many different genres is amazing. Check them out

My taste has progressed from rock towards the more extreme metal genres over the years. Still love a bit of rock too. Interestingly I started off lending my ears to the guitar. Has i have got older and probably in line with my genre shift it's the drum beat that draws me in more now.

Im becoming more of a metalhead as I get older. The stuff that gets played on all the radio stations nowadays has put me right off mainstream music. I will always be a raver at heart but im really getting into rock and metal. Currently liking linkin park, system of a down, within temptation, five finger death punch, halestorm and have a list of artists I want to check out.

I honestly don't know WHAT I'd categorise Crossfaith as. They really are splendid, though. Insanely energetic live performance. Seeing them supporting Skindred was a magnificent moment, "Wildfire" live with Benji coming on stage was a thing of mental beauty.

Yeah, I do appreciate how lucky I am being down south when plenty of big bands don't go beyond London and I do feel for those up north who have long treks down here for gigs. Having said that, just spent 160 quid for two nights hotel in Manchester for the Billy Joel gig @ The Cricket Ground.
