Great folkmetalband from Norway. The lyrics are written on old tounge norwegian.

Cradle Of Filth
What can I say? This great (and wellpayed) pile of shit truly stinks with geniousnes and brilliance.

Aghora
A progressiveband from Florida. Well all their lyrcs are about religion and stuff and that really sucks. But the music is just to good to make you care about that. The guitarist has gone to the same school as John Petrucci and plays like a maniac! His sister takes care of the singingpart and she does it extremely well. The music is inspired by indian worldmusic and the drummer is Sean Reinert (Death, Cynic etc.).
