Music
The grasp of music
I don't express it often but I am an avid music consumer. My tastes varied wildly when I was younger, particularly around high school, but over the past few years I've settled into genres and artists that I enjoy and listen to on nearly a daily basis.
I am a metalhead through-and-through. It started with Metallica in early high school and has progressed to death and progressive metal being my primary genres. Opeth's My Arms, Your Hearse has been my favorite album for years and is what I consider to be the peak of my music world, with Opeth themselves being my favorite music artists for years.
Some choice-picks from my metal world would have to include:
- Slayer's Hell Awaits
- Bolt Thrower's Mercenary
- Gojira's From Mars to Sirius
- Amon Amarth's With Oden On Our Side
For those who do not enjoy having your ears blasted, I am the incarnate of the white girl phrase "I listen to all music". Some choice-picks from other genres that are NOT metal include:
- Caitlin Myers' City Poppin'
- ICP's Ringmaster
- Emilie-Claire Barlow's Seule ce soir
Take your pick and let me know what you like.
