I'd like to meet:

Right now ? Positive people who enjoy life. Gotta have some points in common. Feel free to drop me a line, I'll respond.

Note: About my "Top 24", as you can see, I only put BANDS from Overseas or South America in that section so don't feel bad if you're not there. Some people REALLY take it personally.

DEATHSTARS - Blitzkrieg

Music:

COPROFAGO , RAM-ZET , ZOAR AND INTRODUCING TO-MERA are on the VERY TOP of my CD collection. Personally, I think they represent the intelligentsia of metal (and in Zoar's case, experimental ambient). No less. If you think that my list misses something, please tell me. I LOVE to discover new things. But if a band has no identity, no originality, I don't want any part of it. Metal is getting less and less interesting for me. It's usually the same old thing again and again. I'm not interested in hearing the 8th generation clone of Cannibal Corpse or Deicide. Anyway those 2 bands are not even here. So my list goes something like this (Underlined names = I have seen them in concert) :
A Murder of Angel,
Akercocke,
