carpexnoctem

There are times when we forget that the daytime exists, sometimes going as far as to deny its existence. Carpe Noctem. Seize the night. Every day is Halloween.

I consider myself to be a well-read, open-minded, non-biased, non-prejudiced, non-conforming individual with a unique background. I've always been somewhat of an anomaly as a music listener. I'm a fan/supporter of all types of music from underground to mainstream. I'm truly first drawn to whatever is dark, twisted, melodic, disharmonic, emotional, thought-provoking, confrontational, aggressive, or mordid. I enjoy the genres of goth/darkwave; deathrock/post punk; horror punk; gothabilly; psychobilly; industrial/EBM; new wave; electrocore; electropop; synthpop; pop; alternative/outlaw country; glam rock; hard rock; heavy metal; glam metal/sleaze rock; shock rock; punk; hardcore; post hardcore; grindcore; deathcore; death metal; melodic death metal; power metal; prog metal; gothic metal; doom metal; black metal; industrial metal; rap/hip hop; nerdcore; horrorcore; gangsta rap; rapcore; crunkcore; visual kei/j-rock; and j-pop/k-pop. One rule above all is I look for originality and creativity and musicianship. Artists don't have to be signed or on a major label to have a professional and polished image. I adore female singers and those involved in bands. I don't just follow the current trend, and just because I listen to a diverse variety of styles, it doesn't mean that I'm not knowledgeable about them all or disloyal to any. Do not try to decide for me what I will or will not like - the music is in my ears, not yours.
