Music:
I am a very diverse and open-minded music listener but also very selective, particular, even fastidious about the genres and artists that I enjoy. My primary listening preferences revolve around underground heavy metal (black/death/doom/thrash/viking/etc.), (neo) apocalyptic folk/martial, post-rock, progressive (art/indo/Italian/kraut/space/RIO), indie/shoegaze/alternative, EBM/gothic/industrial, euro-pop, obscure jazz/blues/country, and finally classical & neoclassical.

+ Currently Reading:
As of late and probably more often than not the bulk of my reading dwells within the non-fiction realm (history & politics), but I do enjoy reading classical literature, and anything involving folk tales, mysticism, magick, or religion. I'm always open to suggestions as well, so if you are absolutely in love with something you think I might not have sunk my teeth into, please feel free to share.
