I'm a total metal-head now. Pretty much all that I listen to these days is metal. Some of my favorite artists and songs include:
Lamb of God: Ruin, Laid to Rest, Walk With Me In Hell, Descending, The Subtle Arts of Murder and Persuasion.
Trivium: Ascendancy, Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr, Dying in Your Arms
As I Lay Dying: Confined, An Ocean Between Us, Forsaken
Killswitch Engage: Arms of Sorrow, My Curse, End of Heartache, Rose of Sharyn
In Flames: The quiet place, Take This Life, Eye of the Storm
Avenged Sevenfold: Afterlife, Almost Easy, Bat Country, Blinded in Chains
Evanescence: Bring Me to Life, Call Me When You're Sober, My Immortal, Lithium
Shadows Fall: Enlightened by the Cold, The Light That Blinds
Dragonforce: Through The Fire And Flames, Operation Ground and Pound, Cry For Eternity
Still, it's not unlike me to listen to some contemporary music like Sting and The Police every now and then. I like Sting's albums the best in that genre, though.
Oh, and I also love Irish pirate rock. And I want to listen to every version of "Drunken Sailor" there is.
Of course, there's also my band, Chaos Incarnate. We do some sick-nasty metal in that band. Try combining the voice of Evanescence, the guitar work of As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage, the keyboards of Dragonforce, and the drumming of Lamb of God and Trivium, and you might get an idea of what we sound like. We hope to release our first demo album soon!
