About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator
And now I am in a mood to present myself yet again, until of course, I may decide to scrap everything off this place again. But for now, here is a taste of the story of me...
My name is Michael and I live in Sydney. I hate Sydney and hope to one day move out to the country or the coast, or even overseas. This area has just become a mess full of people with little patience and little understanding. It is a real rush and for once you would like everything around here to just slow down. But oh well.
Music is my biggest passion in life and without it, I believe my life would be rather dull. I go to gigs all the time and always enjoy seeing bands, checking out new ones and just catching up with the various people who go to these events. When I am not at gigs, I am checking out bands online and buying music all the time. I also play music and write lyrics a lot. I have a couple of projects. A black metal one called Insolent and starting a doom project. Insolent is on myspace. Check it out (www.myspace.com/yourenottrue)
My other main interests in life is sport, big fan of cricket, rugby league and football mainly. I make it a tradition to try get out to a cricket match every season and I go to football matches from time to time.
Other than this, I enjoy spending time with the very few people I consider friends. Sitting around with mates listening to music and chatting away is the best form of socializing outside of gigs and sporting events for me. Clubbing and such has never done it for me...and never will.
I am old fashioned, but that is cool with me. Sometimes I think I was born 20 years too late because I don't fit in with the culture of this generation. I don't drink, and I have never smoked or done drugs. Instead of going out drinking myself stupid, I enjoy more peaceful things like enjoying scenery at a park or cemetery or beach or anything where a view is cool and you can sit back for hours just staring out and thinking. I also enjoy writing as well. I write reviews which you can read on here or on Facebook. I also write stuff for an online magazine called No Heroes Mag. Check it out (www.noheroesmag.com).
When you first meet me, you will think I am coming across as mean or not caring due to my silent approach. Don't let the long hair and black clothes intimidate you because I am far from it. I am shy at first but once I get to know someone and feel comfortable around them, I will be the nicest person you will ever meet. The only people that can say I am not a nice person are the ones that have fucked me over in the past. It is few but they know their place with me. Fuck me over once and you don't get a second chance to do it again.
Overall, I am an obscure individual. Nothing wrong with that but it does worry some people haha. I enjoy dark things and read into everything that goes on in life. I got psychic tendencies that spook some people and interest others. I study everything and everyone I come across in life and I think that has helped carve me the way I am today. I have an exceptional memory too. The only person I know of to have as good a memory as me is my Dad hehe.
That's me... :-)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People I connect with, that you can have a decent conversation with about anything and good times with. One of the most interesting things in life is the way you connect with some and not so much with others. Connection is the key to fulfillment.

Evile - Infected Nations

It was only yesterday as I was about to write my thoughts on Evile's new album, 'Infected Nations', that I came across a press release stating that bass player Mike Alexander had passed away suddenl...

Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue

Wow...to think I nearly didn't bother with the Alice In Chains come back. I nearly didn't attend the Enmore show at the start of the year because I thought it just wouldn't work. Just the Jerry Cant...

Katharsis - Fourth Reich

This is one of the most raw, evil black metal bands going around at the moment. Perhaps the most raw and evil thing coming out of Germany at the moment. Maybe Endstille only comes close but they can...

Space Bong - The Death Of Utopia

I am really loving the doom scene in this country at the moment. It is really doing wonders, providing us with many interesting and very awesome bands. From the catchy but crushing antics of Clagg a...

Bloody Panda - Summon

Things are becoming quite Apocalyptic on the doom front at the moment. I mean, you only have to look at the most recent offerings from the likes of Khanate and Sunn 0))) to get the idea of what I am...

Asphyx - Death...The Brutal Way

When bands come back after being away for so long, you kinda expect one of two things to happen. Either their new material is going to suck or they are going to come back with a solid effort. It wou...

Amorphis - Skyforger

For a number of years I avoided this band when they changed their sound from death/doom to a more alternative, almost prog like sound. It was not until last year that I learnt to appreciate the styl...

Goatwhore - Carving Out The Eyes Of God

Well..am I surprised. I certainly wasn't expecting this to be that good. But this is a very enjoyable piece of work. Goatwhore has been one of those death/black bands that I just appreciate and find...

Mistress Of The Dead - I Know Her Face From The Tombstone

I am really enjoying this more super slow, droning funeral doom at the moment. Perhaps the perfect music to fall asleep to at night when the room is pitch black. Dark ambient probably comes first wh...

Shining - VI / Klagopsalmer

Shining has always been one of those black metal bands that I have enjoyed time and time again, finding something great about every release they have brought out and also having a bunch of tracks that...
