#root band

As the title suggests, I’m going to be talking about my favorite metal bands and WHY I love them and specifically my favorite album/release from them. This isn’t in any particular order, though Death and Type O Negative are my absolute favorite.

Death

My favorite Death Metal band ough I love em this band is my baby. There’s so much variety and so many fucking hooks. He always managed to make each album interesting in their own way. I love all the albums, my favorite has to be Leprosy though.

Type O Negative

This shit here is my jam, literally so many good songs from each album. My favorite is October Rust, personally.

Black Sabbath

I know this might be kind of a sin but I love the Dio-era most. Listen to “Heaven and Hell” and “Dehumanizer”

Candlemass

Literally one of the greatest doom metal bands ever, I love “Epicus Doomicus Metallus” but my personal favorite is “Nightfall”

Bathory

EEEEEEEE oh my god i think this might be my favorite black metal band. My favorite from them is “Under the Sign of the Black Mark”.

Sanctuary

Those first two albums are so fucking good, honestly I recommend both “Refuge Denied” and “Into The Mirror Black”

Venom

Oh my god their first two albums are so fucking good, please give them the song “Buried Alive” a listen off the album “Black Metal”.

Control Denied

This has to be my fav progressive metal band (even if they only lasted one album), I HIGHLY recommend “The Fragile Art of Existence”.

Root

Specifically, Zjevení bc I don’t really care much for their other stuff. Shit is just my jam, this is the kind of Black Metal I fucking love.

Mike Orange & The Universe Travellers

Tom Cheeky is also in chochukmo, who appear to be on hiatus since last October. 

By the way, chochukmo singer Jan Curious has a project called R.O.O.T (Running Out Of Time), with Tzu Yu Fish Huang 黃子瑜-drums, Teriver Cheung (Teriver Cheung & Ensemble Transience)-gtr., To So aka SOTOC-keyboard/synth bass. 

I haven’t found an official FB or YT channel for R.O.O.T, but drummer Fish has a bunch of live stuff on his channel, 黃子瑜 (fish), including a set from this past February. This song starts off subdued and turns into a jazzy jam:
