    Yeah I know. XD I just figured that since it was this year when they finally showed off gameplay, it'd be a bit more likely that they'd be more open with it. Unfortunately though I'm expecting them to focus more on XIII-2... ugh.

    And yeah the Tomb Raider reboot looks incredible. I normally don't judge solely on CG, but damn.

    03. What is the most annoying song in the world? Simple Plan's discography

    04. 3 all time favorite Japanese bands? MERRY, the GazettE (you heard me, h8a), 9GOATS BLACK OUT

    05. 3 all time favorite non-Japanese bands? All Devin Townsend projects, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry

    06. Your favorite recently discovered band is? Alrakis

    07. Favorite female voice(s)? Anneke van Giersbergen

    08. Favorite male voice(s)? Devin Townsend

    09. Music type you find yourself listening to most? Prog Metal, pro(g)bably

    10. What do you listen to, to hype you up? Anything by Strapping Young Lad

    11. What do you listen to when you want to calm down? Some nice space ambient stuff

    12. Last gig/concert you went to? Pff, I don't go to gigs. Last one I went to was Alice Cooper when I was a kid.

    13. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now? Scar Symmetry

    14. Most hated band? brokencyde and all the shit they've spawned.

    15. Song that makes you think? Strapping Young Lad - Almost Again

    16. Band that you think the world should love as much as you do? Devin Townsend. Though at the same time, not really. I enjoy how the fanbase isn't gigantic, but very very dedicated.

    17. Favorite music video? Strapping Young Lad - Almost Again

    18. Can you play a musical instrument? I played drums for a bit. Thinking of picking up guitar or bass.

    19. Are you in a band? Nope.

    20. Do you wish yourself that you were a musician? I'd like to at least give it a try someday.

    21. Best all-girl band you know of? Haven't got a clue.

    22. Last song that you heard on the radio/CD…etc…? I don't listen to the radio. And I mostly buy CD's for collectors purposes. ;O

    23. What do you think of Classical music? I think it's brilliant. What else?

    24. What do you think of Country music? I think sometimes it's actually really good, and that it gets far more hate than it deserves.

    25. What do you think of Death metal? I love it. More so when it's injected with fresh ideas. Cookie-cutter-death-metal-band-of-angry-teenagers generally won't do much for me, if at all.

    26. What do you think of Visual Kei? My opinion of VK as a whole is mostly negative. There are/have been a lot of very, very good bands to come from it, but the disbanding rate and overall lack of anything particularly interesting music-wise (in my opinion, duh) tends to give me a negative view.

    27. If you were a musical instrument what would you be? Drums maybe. I get beat by people with sticks a lot.

    28. What do your parents listen to? My dad is a massive Pink Floyd fan. My mum is a massive Nightwish fan.

    29. Favorite movie/anime/video game sound track? Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy VII soundtrack. The nostalgia refuses to let me choose otherwise.

    30. Do you know the names of all the band members that you listen to? EVERY BAND MEMBER OF EVERY BAND? No. I do tend to know the names of favourite bands' members though. But I've always been like that. Something about wanting to know who I'm listening to, and being able to bring it up in conversation rather than "the vocalist/guitarist/etc".

    31. Have you met any famous musicians? 'Fraid not.

    32. Do you follow the music charts, like the top 40? Nope.

    33. Do you watch music TV? Only sometimes. Most of those times it's to laugh at how bad some of it is.

    34. Do you listen to the radio? Nope.

    35. What are 3 of your favorite albums ever? Strapping Young Lad - Alien, Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe, Opeth - Ghost Reveries

    36. Name one album that you regret listening to That last horrendously bad Lycaon album. My god.

    37. Do you buy music digitally? I have once or twice. Mostly because there really wasn't much of an alternative at the time.

    38. Favorite Visual Kei band? 9GOATS BLACK OUT

    39. What is one band that you used to love, but now hate? Metallica. I think their complete decline over the past decade or so speaks for itself.

    40. Does Engrrrrrish bother you? Depends on the severity. If the accent is very intense it can be a little offputting, but generally it's not much of an issue.

    41. What genre could you never listen to? True old school punk. Just... rubbish.

    42. What language do you listen to the most in music? English I guess. Followed probably by Japanese and Finnish.

    43. Do you like long songs? I'd go as far as to say I prefer long songs. Particularly when they don't feel as long as they are.

    44. How often do you download music? All the time.

    45. Are there any specific bitrates that you prefer? Anything from 192 and up. 128 doesn't even bother me at all most of the time, but 192 generally guarantees it's listenable.

    46. What do you think of autotune? It's disgusting and should be eradicated.

    47. What do you think of Noise (music)? It's alright, but not something I'd listen to constantly.

    48. Do you prefer listening to music on speakers or with headphones? Headphones usually. I feel I miss a lot of things when using speakers.

    49. What musician(s) are you most physically atracted to? Well, as a straight male, I'm fine with admitting that people like Daniel Gildenlöw from Pain of Salvation and Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters are attractive guys. Were I gay, I would. As far as me being actually physically attracted to someone though... probably Simone Simmons from Epica.

    50. If you could bring back any disbanded band, which one would it be? It would have to be Strapping Young Lad.

    51. If you HAD to stereotype your music tastes, what would you be considered? (in example -a metal-head, hip-hop, goth, hipster, etc..) A metal-head, I guess. Despite how incredibly vague it is in describing my music tastes, but hell, that's stereotypes for you.

    52. How much on average do you listen to in a day? Not sure really. Some days I'll plow through a few albums, some days I might only listen to 2 or 3 songs in the whole day.

    53. How big is your digital music collection? Roughly 400+ GB.

    54. How many physical CDs do you own? Quite a lot. They're all mostly collected by me and my brother over the years, which have kinda all been left to me now. It's late and I am not counting. ;(

    55. What song will you play at your Wedding? Devin Townsend Project - Feather

    56. What song will you play at your Funeral? Porcupine Tree - Lazarus

    57. What dead musician would you bring back? Layne Staley. I miss that bastard's voice so much.

    58. Best intro to a song? Kalmah - Time Takes Us All, Septic Flesh - Sangreal, Megadeth - Head Crusher

    59. Favorite album cover? Shining - V: Halmstad, Lantlôs - .neon, Alcest - Écailles De Lune, Les Discrets - Septembre et ses dernières Pensées

    60. Two artists/bands that you'd like to see collaborate? Devin Townsend and Daniel Gildenlöw. Can't even express how amazing that collab would be.

    61. What are you listening to now? Pain of Salvation - Idioglossia

    God I really do wank over DT too much. Fucking hell.

    Hmm.

    According to my brother (haven't checked this myself, if anyone really knows, feel free to correct it) Katatonia's Teargas EP is becoming a rare find, so I guess I'm glad I own a copy.

    Burzum's Dunkelheit VHS. I guess. For possible svpre/\/\e kvlt points.

    Anathema's album, EP & DVD discog.

    Strapping Young Lad discog.

    A few albums that practically got me into metal. Stuff like Dissection's The Somberlain and Storm Of The Light's Bane. Emperor's Wrath Of The Tyrant EP and In The Nightside Eclipse. Urgehal's Massive Terrestrial Strike. Bathory's The Return, Twilight Of The Gods and Blood Fire Death. Amongst others.

    Shining's V: Halmstad, purely because I truly consider it to be one of the greatest albums ever made.

    I'd have to look through my collection to know if there are any more, but those are maybe the most significant I can think of at the moment. A lot of the rest of it is old 80's/90's Black/Death/Thrash wankery. Which I'll have to give a proper rundown one of these days.
