Ah, sounds like it's in the Fintroll vein... In other words, listen to it with headphones on and hide it so none of your friends know you have it.

Random thoughts about other bands:

Metallica - Without these guys (Especially in thier early James Hetfield / Dave Mustaine / Cliff Burton / Lars Ulrich lineup), Thrash Metal would have never been founded as a genre, or at least it would have been much less popular and probably a lot worse overall. Even if you don't like them, they did a LOT for metal pre-black-album.

Slipknot - Decent band, but the masks remind me of Kiss. Stop trying to build a sub-culture around your music and just PLAY already.

Children of Bodom - I thought they were good until I heard the singer start "singing". If you can tolerate that voice they're great, but I really can't. And yes, they are very technically proficient with thier instruments.

You should, Immortal are very, very good. Sons of Northern Darkness is one of the few albums I can listen to on repeat forever.

What sort of things are people into around here? I prefer Death/Black metal, but I also like bands like Dream Theater.

That's why I like Stonesour more. That, and Corey makes MUCH better use of his amazing voice in his sideproject.

Finntroll. A band that I have been meaning to check out but for some reason or another, I hesitated. But after this thread, I'll go check them out.

Anyway, I downloaded both their (Ensiferum) self titled album and Iron. I like it. I can't say it's any better than other music like this I've heard from that region, but I still like it nonetheless. I couldn't expect any less from Finland, they have some amazing bands.

The kind of metal I like most is hardcore metal. The Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and Me, Yakuza, Botch, The Red Chord... Haven't delved too deeply into the style, but I really love what I've heard.

I dig death metal and its variants too... Nile, Arsis, At the Gates, Death, Cryptopsy, Capharnaum...things like that. Also into some black metal, more so the experimental stuff like Sigh, Solefald, and ...and Oceans, but I also rock out to Emperor, Dissection, and yes, Cradle of Filth as well. Lately been getting into way more metal than ever before... I have quite a few CDs I haven't even listened to yet.

Also love stuff such as Strapping Young Lad (aggressive Canuck metal), Devin Townsend (poppy Canuck metal), SikTh (metal + hardcore + nu-metal + progressive + jazz + craziness + Muppets), Raunchy (extremely talented Danish nu-metal), Mastodon (dirty south rock'n'metal?), Children of Bodom (power metal with death/black vocals?), and classics like Iron Maiden, Testament, Exodus, and so on. Could go on, but that's tiresome.

But that's just metal.

My favorite kind of music is industrial and related stuff, but most of that's all crap anyway. When it's done right though, it's incredible. Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Chemlab, Prick, Einst
