My foster child is also my niece
LOVED Belgium. Visited St Truiden, Ghent and Brussels. I cried for a week when I left I missed it so much.
I have every album by Radiohead, Bela Fleck and Medeski Martin and Wood.
That's really great you took your niece in.
Never been to Europe and kick myself for going to Asia instead.
Work: Self-employed software developer, currently designing veterinary shop microservices. Still haven't decided if I will use Java(spring) or Python(django-rest), (or none?) Insights will be highly appreciated ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Music: EDM, Robert miles ~ children . This song reminds me how we moved around a lot when i was 3-4 yo. (My father was a civil contractor on different companies, states apart) Finally, a song that sums up the confusions I had.
Tidbit: People highly underestimate their hearing capabilities. I mean, We're not dogs, but our ears collect more information than we ever asked for. All you have to do is LISTEN.
Best Meal: My mom's. And yes, I know I might be highly biased on this. I've tried pizzahut, KFC, and every premium buffet out here. But naaah. My mom hosts catering services, BTW.
Best place: to date? High school where I was studying. It's at the foot of Mt meru, at the gates of Arusha national park. Almost every day, we wake up to the sound of zebras and giraffes grazing high trees, takes all the stress away.
Man. That HS experience. I would give a kidney to see Africa like that
Check out gnoosic.com they have a really strong algorithm that's great for finding bands. It's sent me shit with 27 monthly listeners.
What types of metal do you like? I can try to aim if I have an idea of what you're into.
If I'm going just for an out of the blue rec, maybe try Emptiness - Not For Music if you're not already familiar. Belgian black/death band having turned toward the avant garde have left nearly every indication of their more extreme roots on this album, and it's fantastic. All the tracks are great but if you're looking for the "single" maybe try the track Ever.
This is right up my alley; it's going on my collaborative playlist called 'forks in a blender' which is just me and my bud making a playlist.
I really, really like Vvilderness. Huge fan. Also like panopticon, Unreqvited, Witchcraft, Nordic Winter, Skrm (I think?) Elderwind. Psychedelic Witchcraft and Blood Ceremony are up there too.
Ok, I can work with that. If you are a Panopticon fan you may already be familiar with this, but if not it's worth a listen: Eneferens. A little more toward the VVilderness vibe, but essentially purely folk, check out Ekstasis. And to go with the psych vibe, if you haven't heard Hexvessel - Dawnbearer then give that a spin and thank me later.
God, how have I not heard any of these metal bands in this thread? I listen to metal every day, most of the day. Such a huge genre.
I'm going add these to the list.
Holy shit I'm in love with Eneferens and I listened to about 40 seconds. Thanks. Checking out the others .
They do a Kettering cover? Fucking wow
All of this. All of it goes into my and my friends joint playlist (forks in blender)
If you care to, let me know what you think of these. I think I'm on the right track, but I'd be curious to hear how these strike you.
Eneferens is top notch. That's going to be a deep rabbit hole with associated bands, once I have time to sit down and explore.
I liked hexvessel and Ekstasis (in that order). Again, need to check out more before I really pass judgement, but they have a lot going on that I like
I'm not sure there's much in the way of branching off from Eneferens. I thought you may have heard of them due to label affiliations. At any rate, glad you are receiving these positively. And yeah, trust that the Hexvessel album is worth some deeper dedicated listening. That's a special album imo; I don't know of anything else that's quite like it.
Arron Nordstrom from Gemini Syndrome and I could pass as brothers, and not just because we are both albinos. We both look a lot alike, even though I probably have 80 lbs on him.
Highly recommend IGNEA if you like melodic metal. A few faves:

Mermaids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU9WFEwsQQw
But gosh their stuff is just all awesome.
Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:
I want to be a programmer by day and animator by night. I am nowhere near achieving that goal but everyday I am getting closer.
Music: Ritual Genocide by Ritual Genocide
