After listening to Ogre's 'Plague of the Planet' (which I highly recommend)

Finally got hold of it last week. And it is a great traditional doom album. Funny thing is that the cover says it has 11 sogns, but when you put it in the cd player it only has 1 song. Hahahaha
I actually find Seven Hells even a bit stronger.

Yea, I love them both. But, there's something about the flow of one continues song that I find intriguing.

By the way, I love your sig ... I thought flower power die in the sixties. Unfortunately, it's alive and prancing around with a wooden sword in its hand. Very scary and powerful stuff I tell you. Someone needs to drain the kiddy-pool and send their fans to swim in deeper waters. Just my humble opinion.

I've been listening to a lot of Power Metal lately.I blame Avantasia and Dark Moor for that.
I really recommend "The Gates Of Oblivion" by Dark Moor, If nobodies heard it.

-Power Metal. I blame Kamelot and Sabaton and Blind Guardian for that. (Listened to kamelot for a long time, just recently got Sabaton and Blind Guardian, and I'm HOOKED!!!)
-Not too long ago I was addicted to Viking Metal (still love it). I was attracted by my love of mythology, and the hook was set by Ensiferum and Amon Amarth.

I've been on a huge traditional heavy metal and doom streak recently. I dunno what started it, but suddenly I got a huge urge to listen to Aria, Mercyful Fate, Pagan Altar, Pentagram etc.

Well i don't think its a particular genre, but more of a particular sound. Crimson Glory would be the band after seeing their amazing performance at PPUSA. Now i'm getting into bands that do falsetto etc extremely well. Mercyful fate would be another example.

Have explored old school raw Norwegian Black Metal until there was nothing more. Now rediscovering metal in the form of other genres like Folk Metal. My return to this site has revived my love of metal somehow. Come what may bitches!!

My metal tastes have never been consistent, so it's no surprise to say that my tastes have been fluctuating over the course of the last few months. Despite the band's popularity, only recently have I found myself enjoying Enslaved, the first black metal band that I have ever truly liked. Primordial have also inspired my interest in black metal. However, with the likes of Kylesa, Crowbar, and Bison B.C., sludge metal has also been a source of extreme musical appeal to me.

I've been mostly into Depressive Black Metal for a while. I knew a few bands like Shining and Nocturnal Depression a year ago or so, but the whole genre started to catch my attention this summer, specially Forgotten Tomb among some other bands (Coldworld, Nyktalgia, Austere, Totalselfhatred...) I even had the chance to see Forgotten Tomb live recently, I think it was one of the best gigs I've ever attended.
