1. How did you get into 29? Lamb of God

It was a long time ago when I first started listening to "extreme metal". I think a friend recommended them.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Kalmah

I think it was a song off The Black Waltz, but I didn't like it. I didn't start liking them until I heard Swamplord way later.

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? Emperor

Probably those from the song With Strength I Burn

4. What is your favorite album by 49? Helheim

Hard one, but I'm probably going to have to go with Av Norrøn Ætt, but the two previous ones are excellent as well

5. How many albums by 13 do you have? Mörk Gryning

All the full-lengths <3

6. What is your favorite song by 50? Falkenbach

Well I have to say Heathen Foray but there are alot of underrated Falkenbach songs as well.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? Gorgoroth

Hardly. Gorgoroth aren't known for having sappy songs, I'll tell you that.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? Dismember

Now this is a hard one. I'm torn between Like An Everflowing Stream, Indecent And Obscene and Dismember.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? Amon Amarth

I think that Victorious March is their best, but really anything off Once Sent From the Golden Hall could qualify.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? Bathory

That would be Ring of Gold, because it is quite beautiful. R.I.P Quorthon

11. What is your favorite album by 40? Folkearth

By the Sword of My Father, no contest.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? In Flames

There are some really good ones from the early days. I'm thinking either Starforsaken, Behind Space or Biosphere.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? At the Gates

The first time I heard them and specifically the compilation Suicidal Final Art when I was just getting into melodeath, I sat spellbound throughout the first part (songs from the first two full lengths).

14. What is your favorite song by 38? Mastodon

March of the Fire Ants. The only song I know about an invasive species hah!

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? Entombed

Well there are a few songs that have funny lyrics. That's When I Became a Satanist always brings a smile to my face. And while we're on the environmental topic, When it Hits Home is fucking righteous!

16. How many times have you seen 25 live? Einherjer

I wish I could have.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? Týr

I youtube'd them and found the official video for Regin Smiður and I was hooked.

18. What is your favorite album by 11? Dissection

There are two albums I would rate 100%, The Somberlain and Storm of the Light's Bane R.I.P Jon.

19. Who is a favorite member of 2? Dark Tranquillity

Well it would have to be Mikael Stanne now, wouldn't it? It was awesome hanging with him at the Dismember show i Gothenburg. \m/

20. Have you ever seen 14 live? Darkthrone

Have they ever even played live? I think they might have a few times in their early career, when I was like 4, so no.

21. What is a good memory involving 21? Soilwork

That would be when I met them after the concert in Florida and hung out with them for two hours in their tour bus. Björn kan make one hell of a Margherita! Although truth be told I don't listen to them very much any more, only their old stuff is worthwile imo.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? Windir

Hard choise here, but Svartesmeden og Lundamyrstrollet is certainly a good candidate. R.I.P Valfar!

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? Twin Obscenity

Dark Millenium's End

24. What is your favorite album by 18? Thyrfing

I think Valdr Galga takes all prizes here, but the earlier ones are excellent as well.

25. What is your favorite song by 27? Summoning

March of the Grey Company wins this one, although Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame is prob my favorite Summoning album as a whole.

26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? Hate Eternal

Behold Judas no doubt, I really liked Hate Eternal intensively a while and then I had enough.

28. What is you favorite song by 1? Enslaved

Ahh, jeez. There's hardly one song that overtakes all the others. But I guess the longer their songs are the more greatness they contain. Therefore this one is a tie between Større Enn Tid - Tyngre Enn Natt and 793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)

29. What was the first song you ever heard by 44? Iskald

Warriors of the Northern Twilight

30. What is your favorite song by 8? Finntroll

Skogens hämnd probably, but I haven't listened to them in a while. Runners up are Slaget vid blodsälv, Grottans Barn, Asfågelns Död... solid band overall.

31. How many times have you seen 17 live? Moonsorrow

Never unfortunately, although their songs are so long it might be kind of odd in concert like when I saw Opeth, pretty short list of songs they have time to play.

32. Is there a song by 32 that makes you happy? Korpiklaani

Haha yes there is! Happy Little Boozer probably most so, but any of their drinking song are fun.

33. What is your favorite album by 12? Taake

This is a hard one. All the full lengths are awesome, maybe Hordalands doedskvad has the edge over the others though.

34. What is the worst song by 45? Strapping Young Lad

I don't care much for either City or Alien albumwize so probably a song off of one of them.

35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? Månegarm

Unknown, first time I heard them I didn't like them and thus didn't remember what song I heard. But when I heard their newer stuff I started to like them alot. Vargstenen!

36. What is your favorite album by 48? The Duskfall

The Frail absolutely. They're all very good though, just that every song on The Frail is incredible.

37. How many times have you seen 42 live? Diabolical Masquerade

Again, another artist I've never even heard of touring. Probably hasn't and as such, no. Besides, I really only like Ravendusk in My Heart...

38. What is your favorite song by 36? Arch Enemy

Black Earth, which coincidentally is the best album even though that song is not on it.

39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? Bloodbath

Mass Strangulation !!!

40. What is your favorite album by 7? Opeth

Ouch, this is hard. I've got five favorites! Orchid, Morningrise, My Arms Your Hearse, Still Life and Black Water Park. I guess I have to go with the first one.

41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? Gehenna

What is with all this happiness??? I guess A Witch Is Born brings a malicious smile to my face.

42. What is your favorite album by 41? Ensiferum

Ensiferum, yup folks, self titled takes this one easily

43. What is your favorite song by 24? Insomnium

I suppose I could choose Shades of Deep Green, because of its uniqueness in their discography.

44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? Ivenberg

First time I listened through Leben heisst Sterben, quite a headbanger of an album imo.

45. What is your favorite song by 35? KromleK

Träskens näve, I really like the lyrics for one.

46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? Kataklysm

Nope, not happy music.

47. What is your favorite album by 4? Hypocrisy

I really like the new one (A Taste Of Extreme Divinity) alot, and also Virus. But I think The Final Chapter might still take the prize here.

48. Who is a favorite member of 37? Dimmu Borgir

Don't really have a favorite member, actually I don't even know what they're doing in my top 50. For all tid and Stormblåst are good albums though.

49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? Hatesphere

Murderous Intent. The Killing EP is my first and favorite release of them.

50. How many albums do you have by 20? Scar Symmetry

All of them, but I have yet to listen to the new one.
