I've been playing guitar VERY on and off for about 14 years.
I adore songwriting and lyric writing.
I've never felt like I belong to any particular scene so I listen to whatever comes out and try my best to get it down in tab or on record.

Music is basically my life.
I`ve been playing drums for about 13-14 years, and currently I`m involved in Cleaver, a old school extreme metal band, Chton, death metal, and Tellus Requiem , which is something I would call melodic prog metal.

I compose what could be called music, but I prefer to describe my compositions as anti-art.
I am not part of a contemporary black metal scene, so I really don’t care for what others portray as black metal. It would be unnatural for me to identify with those who like to associate themselves, their persona, with the allure of darkness surrounding Satanism without actually being Sinister in real life. That which is portrayed by black metal scene persons and their pretentious works is of no concern to me. Black metal is, and always has been underground, thus it obscures itself by it's own false reputation.

Yes!
I play drums/percussion. I played Symphonic/concert band all throughout my formative years in school. I am , as of the last year, starting to play the saxophone. Alto to be exact.
I can read music. I can play marching/pipeband drums, hand drums, and program drum machines. The drum machine accompanies my samplers apparent disregard for others hearing or tolerance. Or is that mine?
Everything from Alfred Schnittke, Shoenburg, Miles Davis, Morbid Angel, Emperor, Pink Floyd, and everything that is pretty much under the general label of "music."
I have a penchant for Industrial/noise, Jazz(mainly bebop, but who doesn't love Ellington?), Punk (Black Flag, Minor threat,Discharge, Misfits, Spazz) and even minimalist drone music, ala SunnO))).
I listen to music everyday, and try to pick others brains on what/why they listen to certain music.
Especially interesting is linking that with style. A lot of base people I meet tend to listen to it for "background."
How can Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" be background?
How can My life with the thrill Kill Cult's early music be background, with it's wonderful samples and supreme orchestration?
How can Alfred Schnittkes "Concerta Grossi 1&5" be background.
I shall stop typing, as to not go on at length.

Maybe you can list some finds that are in line with the frenzied black atmosphere I have pointed to?
Dear Hegesias.
You might wanna check out this; Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta by Béla Bartók.
I would like to recommend the 1958 recording by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. One of the most important pieces of music in my life.
