Hi-End for Black Metal?


Hello!

I am 33 and come from Russia. My passion is heavy music, namely Black Metal. I find it fascinating. I feel like a hermit because those friends of mine which are audiophiles do not like black metal. And those friends which like black metal (actually, play it even in bands!) couldn't care less about high quality audio gear.

Are there any people like me who own hi-fi/hi-end equipment to listen to heavy metal genres?

I very recently stumbled across (your mother would not like it) Canadian metal band called 'The Agonist' their album 'Only Once Imagined', I think its really good, the male singer sings all the gruffly vocal stuff, but they also have a female singer who sounds similar to the singer In Evanescence, an interesting vocal combination.
Maril555,
I also don't like crowds which attend rock shows. Even though I like rock music, I would like to distance myself from people who typically visit such events. Rock is all about girls, beer, having fun, love, etc. But Black Metal is different. Guys who play black metal for non-commercial reasons are also different. BM is more than music. Listen to the best examples of BM has to offer: for example, Immortal "Sons of Northern Darkness" (2002) or Darkthrone "A Blaze In The Northern Sky" (1992) or Satyricon "Nemesis Divina" (1996) or Emperor "In the Nightside Eclipse" (1994). If something does not click in your soul, then I give up on you :)
Michael Jackson must be brainier than Einstein then because his music has sold 750 million albums.
Then again, did he not dangle his young infant sibling over the balcony on the 2nd floor of a hotel once?
Intelligence and music? Poppycock!

I think those that do not like crowds at rock gigs are showing their ages. Pipe and slippers for you lot then! lol.
Just honestly did- it's official, you should give up on me.
Do you drink blood for breakfast? Are you 14 y/o?
Are you serious??? For real, for real?
