So, if you only had the option to listen to 5 bands for the rest of your life, who would they be and why?
I'll start.
1) Xasthur (My favorite band)
2) Nocturnal Poisoning (AKA Xasthur's post band after he got out of black metal)
3) Nocturnal Depression (They have some very meaningful songs)
4) Mayhem (Pelle Ohlin AKA Dead has been one of the most inspirational people in my life)
5) Burzum (Varg Vikernes is Jesus)
If you consider Nocturnal Poisoning to be the "same" as Xasthur than my other pick would be:
Woods of Desolation (They make very sad music)
Xasthur, Nocturnal Poisoning, and Burzum are all solo artists. (just fyi)
Rise against- casual and just like them
Dark Tranquillity - good melo death
Dream Theater - riffs on riffs cus I heard u like riffs
Amon Amarth- Vikings!
Mastodon - da best thing since sliced bread
