Metalheads! Confess & Brag

Kataklysm is great. Good vocals, they mix it up with the standard deep stuff and a more Dani Filth like thing. It grates at first but you'll learn to like it. And the drummer is one of the best hyperblasters in the business, he'll go 200+ BPM for HOURS.
The earlier stuff has lower, faster pitched vocals and is a bit hard to hear.
They're a quality Canadian DM band, nothing more, nothing less.

Ok. I'll bite.
Confessions...? I really don't have any. I used to like rap and Linkin Park. I tend to not say that...often or at all, but I did. Linkin Park actually isn't THAT bad. There's worse bands. I've been made fun of for liking Jonezetta. Iunno. Appearently synth-pop-rock-whatever doesn't fit in with my "metal" demeanor. I really like Anberlin too. They Might Be Giants. The Aquabats! and Fivie Iron Frenzy. Incubus. Journey. I'd say I'm not really ashamed of anything I listen to, but a Stratovarius song just came on. That and The Devil Wears Prada and It Dies Today (ugh). I got those two on accident thinking they'd be good.
As for my metal stuff...Iunno. The only "pure" metal I have is Kamelot, Blind Guardian, DAATH, Demilich, some of Extol's older stuff, Goatwhore, Acid Bath, Mastodon (although, it may be debatable if they are tr00 metal), some Death, a few Deicide and Cannibal Corpse songs my friend sent me. Some Slayer and Megadeth. Gojira though. I love me some Gojira. And Suffocation. (Although, I only have their latest album). My Dying Bride is amazing too.
If you count grindcore as metal...even those it's the extreme end of hardcore,
...I'm Dead (can I say that?) and Last Days Of Humanity, and Napalm Death. The Day Everything Became Nothing.
I'm real deep in the metalcore area. The Red Chord, Suicide Silence, Through The Eyes of the Dead, From A Second Story Window, Psyopus, Fear Before The March of Flames, Bring Me The Horizon, August Burns Red, Heaven Shall Burn, The Haunted, The Human Abstract, As Blood Runs Black, Zao (I love me some Zao), The Chariot, Luti-Kriss/Norma Jean, Dead To Fall, Ed Gein, Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, A Life Once Lost, All That Remains, All Shall Perish, Elysia, HORSE the band, War Of Ages, Twelve Gauge Valentine, The Acacia Strain, Knights of the Abyss, Into The Moat, Between the Buried and Me, Glass Casket, Bury Your Dead, Training For Utopia has grown on me some, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Inked In Blood, The Black Dahlia Murder, A Day To Remember, Ion Dissonance
The list goes on and on and on. I think I got most of them though...
As for other stuff? Muse, Chevelle, Cursive, mewithoutYou, The Beatles, Comeback Kid, Figure Four, Beloved, Queens of the Stone Age, 30 Seconds To Mars, Glassjaw, The Clash, (hed) p.e., Pink Floyd, Rush, AC/DC, States of Melba is alright from what I've heard (it's a side project from Zao that is mellow rock)
I like mostly rock stuff, as you can tell.

Kurashu- admitting liking any band, the wearing of whose t-shirt would get you razzed by someone at a Motorhead or any analogous show, no matter how good their musicianship, and even if they count actual professional Metal Musicians within their fan base*, counts as a "Confession."
They Might Be Giants clearly counts.
*I've seen & read interviews with Zakk Wilde, for instance, where he expresses his admiration for a variety of non-metal bands, and even says that he listens to them on his Tour bus.

Confession: I really, really, like Rhapsody (of Fire). Sue me. It's fun to watch my seven year old rock out to "Emerald Sword." Also, right out of high school, my buddies and I had a really bad (I'm talking Wyld Stallions bad) band called Wrathchyld.
Brags: The first band I ever saw in concert was the Irons with Paul DiAnno fronting them. They were opening for Judas Priest on the "British Steel" tour. I saw Ozzy with Randy Rhodes on guitar a month before Randy died. Met the Iron's some years later and have sat front row at a Priest show. Back in the day (early 80s) I don't think I missed a metal show that rolled through San Antonio.
I fell away from metal when it became more about hairspray and power ballads than rock, spent a decade or so wearing plaid, then, a few years ago, discovered Power Metal bands like Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, and, yes, Rhapsody, which led me back to my old listening habits. I've never gotten into death/dark/black metal, though not for lack of trying. As a result, a lot of the newer stuff leaves me cold. On the other hand, there's nothing more pathetic to my mind than 50-60 year old metal guys. With the exception of Lemmy. Because Lemmy's older than dirt and cooler than Antarctica. But I digress.

Nyaricus said:Hey! Rhapsody of Fire may be a cheesefest, but it is real metal! C'mon, give us a *real* confession! Otherwise, out of the thread for you
cheers,

Fine, fine. Between my wife and myself, we own every second of music ever released by The Cure and a fair bit of unreleased/bootleg stuff. Something like twenty eight hour's worth.
Better?
(And as an addendum to my earlier post, if you've never seen comedian Brian Posehn's video "Metal By Numbers," you shouldn't call yourself a metalhead. Go look it up on YouTube, it's a thing of deep and abiding beauty.)
