I've been waiting for something like this! Really exciting seeing everyone's tastes in metal. My heart beats metal! Being half Finnish and half Australian, I'm really into Melodic Death Metal. I give credit when it's due to other sub genres of metal, but melodeath is heaven/hell for me.
I'm really liking your choices Grennan! I'd love to see your iTunes library.
