[zombienixon 333]

I'm more into 80s metal myself, Thrash Metal in particular, and I'm getting more into foreign-language stuff (German and Russian, mostly).  I don't actually have a lot of different music because I haven't taken the time to actually download it. 

 

I'd say my favorites are (in no particular order):

Iron Maiden

Metallica

Megadeth

Black Sabbath

Dio

Aria

Rammstein
