[@VampireOracle]"Epic" trailer-style music doesn't do much for me nowadays. Having listened to quite a bit of it on my own and just about every time I'm at the theatre, it feels a bit overblown and rote. You start to pick up on the formula and it sounds generic after a time.[/quote]

You da real MVP. Anytime someone uses Adrian von Ziegler, Two Steps from Hell, or Imagine Dragons as the theme song to his character or thread, that's my cue to look elsewhere for interesting shit to happen and interesting people to talk to. It's [i]the[/i] quintessential "I will attempt to be a badass and fail by even the most derivative definitions of the word" red flag. Every time.

Admiring the Black Metal love here, too. Though it's a little too far gone on the "noise" spectrum for me. I need Black Metal with more melody, and a certain standard of production quality (which doesn't say much in this genre, but still). 6.5/10
