Playing exclusively female-fronted metal, Gothic and ethereal music
I am obsessed and unashamedly passionate about Gothic and female-fronted metal. My main concerns are writing articles and conducting interviews for Sonic Cathedral and Reflections Of Darkness [and Musicfolio when I can be bothered to submit anything to them which they haven't already pilfered from another website]. I also have an unhealthy interest in computing and clothing. The less said about that, the better. I am, in essence, a horribly shallow person masquerading as someone with depth and valid opinions.
Please also check out the Sonic Cathedral My Space page and subscribe to the blog for all upcoming events.
Update:
Though I do promote bands and book gigs for Gothic and metal artists in London venues I have been getting a lot of requests recently to book gigs for all types of bands outside the circle I work in. PLEASE DO NOT ADD OR MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE NOT A GOTHIC OR METAL ARTIST - I WILL SIMPLY NOT REPLY SINCE I AM GETTING TOO MANY OF THESE REQUESTS. As for everyone else, feel free! :p

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can enrich my life beyond the stupour of tepidity that permeates my day to day suffering.

Music:

Overall artist chart since Sept 2004:http://www.last.fm/user/Lysander
I succumbed to the dreaded 'bands list' in the end, so here is a list of people who I think are worth filling my brain with.

Gothic/progressive/black metal: Opeth, After Forever, Lumsk, Epica, Stream Of Passion, Catafalque, Mortal Love, Moonlight, Naamah, Artrosis, Closterkeller, The Wounded, The Provenance, Delight, Ebony Ark, Ram-Zet, Therion, Within Temptation, The Gathering, Nightwish, The Crest, Nemesea, Atrox, Undish, Maudlin Of The Well, Flowing Tears, Orphaned Land, Evenfall, Delphian. That'll do.

Ethereal/Medieval: Stoa, Dargaard, Qntal, Estampie, Dark Sanctuary, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Basque, Falling You, Elfonia, Persephone, Claire Voyant, Arcanca, The Shroud, Gothica, Encryption, Fading Colours. Yes, I am one big cliche.

Dark Ambient: Raison d'etre, Enemite, Herbst9, Halo Manash, Aeoga, Desiderii Marginis, Kammarheit, Lustmord, Cocytus, Zhurong, Coph Nia, Tetraktys, Die verbannten Kinder Evas, Atrium Carceri, Letum, I.Corax, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud.

One day I'll stop filling my profile with crap like this:
How evil are you?

Movies:

I have more or less totally given up in cinema from the UK and US, and as a result I spend a lot of time concentrating on films from the rest of Europe and Asia.
