Rahvin,
I concur with your choice in music...In flames (especially the older stuff), Dark Tranquility, ect.
One of my favs is King Diamond...love the style and the story concept of his albums, especially Puppet Master.
I don't listen to metal like I used to you...kids calmed me down a bit and just the time aspect of all the concerts I went to, beer bought, and tshirts purchased, not to mention the over 1,000 cds I used to have.
Black metal wise my fav is still Immortal. Amazing rift writing on their part. Saw Dimmu Borgir in concert, really good show. Would love to see Iron Maiden live before they die. Worst band I saw...Deicide (not because I of course disagree philosophically with them, that would be true for most of the bands I listen to) but because they were complete asses to the fans....on the flip side, Marduk who opened were for them were cool guys, besides being quite blasphemous...lol. I listened to about everything from black metal to the gore side, Carcass, Aborted, Dying Fetus (always great live).
