What's your personal fetish?

[deathster]

-early noisy satanic black and deathcore demos (80s + VERY early 90s)
-death`zines

[mega_lodon]

Albums with good cover artwork (traditional paintings) always do the trick on me .

What turn me off are: digipak or any fancy packaging, covers w/ computer graphics (Behemoth is a good example), gore, corpse paints, shaved heads and any new albums that bear the 'Roadrunner' logo .

[The Erlking]

Ugh computer graphics suck so much. One of the worst is Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death.

[Korgüll]

One of the worst is Iron Maiden's Dance Of Death.

Yeah, that's a horrible cover...

[Black Axe]

What turn me off are: shaved heads

Yeah, especially the ones with big long beards...

My fetishes:
NWOBHM
Heavy as fuck True Doom Metal.
Strange heavy metal with integrity.

[voidghast]

Definitely female singers in old metal bands. I still have to check out that Diamond Lil reissue.
Early 80's Scandinavian metal.
Really great or odd album art.

[alien laserblast]

ugly, bug-eyed dudes on the back sleeve. solid colors & design paired with inept artwork. obscure NW USA metal/hard rock. ignorant song titles.

[Fucking Åmål]

Definitely female singers in old metal bands.

Seconded.Hearing heavy as fuck traditional metal singed by female singers
is better sometimes than male ones.After all in a time where every woman sings like Tarja Turunen or some goth girl or it is common believed by mainstream that a woman must sing soft or atmospheric music/parts,vocalists of 80's metal bands like Battlefield's,Caress,Carrie,Trop Feross,Xandril,Masque and tons more prove the quite opposite!

[King Zombie]

Swedish Old School metal bands (now Scandinavian bands as a whole, norwegian and finnish bands too)

Japanese Heavy Metal groups (Japanophile)

Turkish bands (I'll upload some bands I've got, they are very cool and harsh, don't know why Turkey, the've got hot chicks and awesome beaches )

Early extreme metal bands. I'm constantly looking for the progenitors of death metal for example, this year I came across Samhain, Black Dethe, Fatal, Corpse, Pentagram, Warhammer, Funeral Bitch... I'm looking for Devastation (US) nowadays.

[sovdat]

- Razor
- Forbidden

- everything from old speed / thrash metal scene (80s til somewhere 93/94/95), preferably on a CD and preferably 1st pressing.

[Black Axe]

Japanese Heavy Metal groups

Me too. Though I only own one or two physical releases. Very hard to come by outside Japan.

[sovdat]

Also, some countries (when it comes to thrash) are turn ons, and the other turn offs for me:

+++
USA (obviously)
Canada
Australia
Sweden / Finland - I love the early 90s scene!! (Both Ends of the Path, Masterpeace, Emotional Playground, and so on)
East Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, etc.; especially when it comes to raw stuff, like Hellias, Ferat etc. that is sung in native language ... but on the other hand, Atomic - Nuclear Thrash was quite a disappointment, at least for me).

---
Japan
South America (at least most of the "brutal" part of it)
Italy

etc.

Very hard and expensive. I wish I would had been born in Japan.

[Cochino]

I search for horror movie references, of lovecraftian stuff, but I don't know why if most of the time I get disappointed.

Anything Uruguayan or Italian captures my attention too.

Edit: Oop, screw up. Meant to push the edit button and pushed the quote one, and didn't realize until I submitted it. Sorry.
