Ghost

''Ghost is the name of a devil worshipping ministry, that in order to spread its unholy gospels and, furthermore, trick mankind into believing the end is ultimately a good thing, have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to achieve their ends.''



Heh. Silly, but oh so awesome.

Definitely one of my favorite bands atm. They play an old school style of Heavy Metal/Rock.
Some might find the over the top imagery or lyrics (tongue-in-cheek Satanism/Occultism) a turn off, but I fucking love it. It's like 70's Horror/Exploitation films put to music, and it adds to the creepiness of the music.
Good shit.

For recent artists, here's some:

Halestorm, who is the best band to win a grammy award in the best hard rock and metal category with a female fronting the band.

Spoiler

Gary Clark Jr, gots a bunch of awards last year, and shared the same stage as legends such as B. B. King, Kirk Hammet of Metallica, Eric Clapton, and many more.

Spoiler

El Ten Eleven is a indie rock band that makes instrumental music. The guitarist is both the guitarist and bass player, having a double neck guitar with the top head a guitar and bottom a bass guitar. A very unique band, and is amazing to watch them play live.

Spoiler

WZRD a alternate rock band consisting of two members, Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius. I like this album, it's nice and calming, and very relaxing with soothing lyrics.

Spoiler

Last one is rapper Hopsin. I like his raw style of rapping and his lyrics are amazing. Also, his eyes are fucking badass(yes I know it's contacts, still looks cool).

Yeah i found this band by accident and now I love them,, I bought their new album the other day in HMV (music shop for people that arent sure what i mean ) and ive never stopped playing it ^^
The only other band I like is a band called Mindless Self Indulgence, ive seen these guys live and it was the best gig ive been to (even though I had a bad cold and felt like shit, plus I got punched in the face and got a bloody nose, i got my revenge on the guy that hit me, I punched him back and people cheered for me XD)

Had lots of friends in high school who were into rock/heavy metal and a couple of close friends who were into death metal/black metal so kinda grew up with it.
I was more into the indie scene when i was younger up to the age of 10, thanks to my dad, he used to play all kinds of indie bands.
