    Organ, I believe you'd like Ministry. They're one of my favourite bands of all time. A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste would be the best album for you to listen to, considering your affinity for black metal. It'a a mixture of heavy guitar riffs with industrial/synthesized music and Al Jourgenson's creepy **** voice with effects at times. One of my all time fave albums. By the way, he likes to sample Full Metal Jacket. I'm not too sure about Al's newer stuff though.

    Guess I should list my fave bands too huh.
    Primus- Basically anything by Les Claypool. That man is made of talent and eccentricity.
    Ministry
    Nine Inch Nails *The Quake soundtrack, by Reznor, is incredible, in my opinion..isn't he doing the soundtrack for Doom 3?*
    Slayer
    Tool
    Bloodhound Gang.......gotta love these guys.
    White Zombie
    John Digweed-techno
    Traci Lords-1000 Fires That album has music from Mortal Kombat
    Alice in Chains
    The Chemical Brothers-Surrender That album has been used in more commercials than any other album I've ever heard.
    Insane Clown Posse Older stuff, not fond of the newer. They're not very talented, but they make up for it with style and wittiness.
    Beck Lots of his stuff, but my fave has to be stereopatheticsoulmanure. It's an album made for drunks, by drunks..sloppy and very fun to tie one on with. If anything check out the song "Satan made me a taco"
    Zepplin..nuff said
    Beasties
    The Pulp Fiction soundtrack. Flowers on the wall is one of my fave songs of all time.
    That's all I can think of for now.


    Two Channel Main

    Actually Maurice, I was referring to the fact that those tracks have good mix value. Electric Hellfire Club is kinda hard to define though. They are what you might consider an electric band, but most of there stuff is down right freaky.On the verge of satanic. They are on the "Cleopatra" label which is well known for Black Metal music.

    nizer and LS,
    I'll look for Ministry next time I go CD shopping. Are they American? I've only heard a few American black metal bands and didn't like them. How agressive is Ministry? Do they perform blast beats (240+bpm)? I also love high pitched vampiric screams as well as deep growls in my metal. I'm really starting to enjoy grim vocals as well. I've never heard anything from the Cleopatra label. Most of my music is from Nuclear Blast, Cacophonus, Peaceville, Napalm Records and Spinefarm Records. I went shopping this weekend before work and picked up 1349, Mystic Circle, another Carpathian Forest and Norther. Very cool stuff. I love Carpathian Forest's brutality, evilness and agression. Of course, I also picked up Sarah Brightman's "Classics" to add to my classical collection.

    I used to own Ministry's A mind is a terrible thing to taste and sold it because time is a terrible thing to waste. Hahaha. The Ministry I still own is his 12" singles. Halloween, now there's a classic. Same for NIN. First album, classic industrial. Everything since, blah, blah, blah. Of course this is my opinion but that was one of the purposes of this thread was to dis everyone's favorite music. What an enjoyable excercise! Let's continue. I like Pat Methany except when he pulls out the terrible sounding keboard guitar thing! Just ruins every song he plays it on. Steely Dan, love em all except when Walter Becker sings, arrrgghh. Crystal Meth's latest is very nice.

    If you like the screams and voices things then you'll like Ministry and LOVE Electric Hellfire Club. The unique thing about Ministry is the fact that they tend to do alot of that "possesion" sound of voices. You know the mutiple voice at once aspect. But the cool thing is that the lead singer does "all" the voices. In different levels and pitches. Freaky to listen to late at night. EHC has some great death sceams and all out anger lyrics. Especially there album "Kiss the Goat". Pretty creepy stuff there.:cool:

    Naah. I like chicken:). I don't have too many bands that sing about eating people. A few sing about corpses eating people but most is about necrophelia, death and Satan.

    Zombies are cool. They are all like... "Uhhhhh, ughhdh, uhhhh" and reaching for you and ****. You can just run up to them and say, "Shut up ****". Then kick them in the sac and run like hell. They are so slow they can't catch you.:D
