Will try those bands. @Syk.

22:35 - Apothecary
Nothing better than listening to some really atmospheric, all-encompassing music with some good ear gear. Sunn O))) and Esoteric are regulars for me with my Skull Candies

22:35 - Karlabos
Best power metal vocalist ever [link]

22:22 - Lit.
So I just got a pair of Monster DNA headphones and they sound divine. I've been playing through CDs like mad.

22:16 - Syk
Redn - [link] also 8 Foot Sativa, Diecast, Himsa. maybe Zao (early stuff)

21:25 - Hex_Omega
Damn I like this :P [link]

21:03 - Redn1ght
Hmm.. I could probably be interested in hearing some Metalcore or Deathcore (Either one. Doesn't matter.) If there are some good lesser known bands...
