I'm a huge fan of music in general, but my real passion is for metal. I won't claim to know everything there is to know about metal music (after all, there are endless albums), but I have been passionate about the subject for 25 years, so I'd like to think I have something to offer.

My CD collection contains all styles of metal, but my personal preferences mostly sit within the subgenres of black metal, death metal, thrash metal and the more extreme side of doom metal. When it comes to non-metal, I'm a huge fan of electronic artists such as Boards of Canada, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Ulrich Schnauss and Murcof, and also listen to rock outfits like VAST, Sigor Ros and Porcupine Tree. I'm unlikely to review any of this stuff though as I like to focus on what I know best...metal!

I hope at least a few people out there find my reviews and lists to be informative and I'm always happy to talk to other metal fans, even if they disagree with what I have to say.
