... I'm back to listening to you. 'Cause I need some RROOAAARGGGGHHH in my life right now. Was looking for some background and/or inspirational music for writing and remembered those bands I used to listen to about a decade ago, up until recent years. I barely have anything other then my ex's club and pop songs on this laptop, although have about 4gbyte of my own music on my old pc which is still in the loft. On thurdsay morning I remembered that i have some of them on cds as well. Ohmegosshhh. I haven't listened to one of my all time favourite songs for years but it is still as good as ever - Jester Race, from In Flames. NOT a mainstream track, at all (guttural vocals. Yeah, like Batman singing.) But i love it, that was the song which got me into heavier metal.
The other song which gave me goosebumps just as it did years ago: Alone, from Amorphis. I think i'll have to put that on my official TOP 5. So, currently on my playlist, in no particular order:
In Flames - Black Ash Inheritance / Jester race albums
Amorphis - AM Universum album
Apocalyptica - selected songs, mostly their own stuff
Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar, just to cheer up the mood
Already feel some Rammstein and Dimmu Borgir coming along the road. Maybe with a bit of Stratovarious and Sonata Arctica thrown in just to have some finns in there too.
