Lifting heavy shit, competing in strength sports, reading, D&D. Singer/songwriter for Frost Giant.
Moonsorrow, Askival, Wolves in the Throne Room, Wintersun, Agalloch, Drudkh, Insomnium, Dead Blue Sky, Ensiferum, Undying, Austrian Death Machine.
For review purposes: Power metal, Viking metal, somber metal, atmospheric black metal, melodic death metal, pop-punk (more in the Fat Wreck vein). Anything that shreds or makes me want to commit suicide.
Also, classic rock/hair metal and I don't mind the trendcore stuff. That's fun to bust on.
