| 2. | Austrian Death Machine - Total Brutal |
| 3. | Clutch - Pure Rock Fury |

Albums Named After Emmure Guitar Tabs
I'm thinking about adding Sirenia - At Sixes and Sevens, but that might be closer to black metal than Emmure.
| 1. | Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring |
| 2. | Ayreon - 01011001 |
| 3. | Shining (NOR) - One One One |
| 4. | Orphaned Land - All Is One |

A Brief History Of Taste

Symphonic Metal Done Differently
Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir, Septicflesh and their respective clones are not welcome here. The title is a bit misleading since none of these albums are 'symphonic metal' per se, but they're…

Albums That I Really Shouldn't Own But Do
Most of these were purchased with my own money under my own free will. A few of them I expected to be good but turned out not to be; the rest I have for no good reason and a couple I even listen to from…

Seen Live!
Exactly what it says on the tin. I'm ignoring local bands here; only bands that people are likely to know will be featured.
| 1. | Sonata Arctica - (2007) My first gig, I guess. It was more for the benefit of my dad who brought me along though. |
| 2. | Stryper - (2009) My first real gig. Also my then-favourite band. Support: Delain; Winterborn (missed Winterborn) |
| 3. | Firewind - (2010) Support: local band |
| 4. | Threshold - (2011) Support: Breed 77 (terrible; somehow they managed to get hardcore dancing into a power metal gig); Primitai |
| 5. | Threshold - (2011) Favourite band, no support, 2 hour set. Excellent. My only complaint is that I bought a shirt and left it on the train :( |
