Hi-End for Black Metal?

Hello!

I am 33 and come from Russia. My passion is heavy music, namely Black Metal. I find it fascinating. I feel like a hermit because those friends of mine which are audiophiles do not like black metal. And those friends which like black metal (actually, play it even in bands!) couldn't care less about high quality audio gear.

Are there any people like me who own hi-fi/hi-end equipment to listen to heavy metal genres?

Mapman- good to see you on this thread.

For myself, I have a hard time with Black Metal. I want to like it, but most of it that I've heard is pretty bad.

Map- Porcupine Tree flirts with metal as much as they do with Pink Floyd and King Crimson. If you like Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree, then check out the Opeth albums "Blackwater Park" and "Deliverance" Wilson produced both, and plays on them a bit.

Death to False Metal (just kidding)

Ironmine- what you described in your last post is a perfect description of the band Agolloch. If you have not heard them, you owe it to yourself to do so.

By the way- without the intellect, there can be no aesthetic appreciation. They are not contradictory things, but synergistic. Leave to a Black Metal thread to evolve into a philospohical discussion- but one that has been covered very nicely by Aristotle, Kant and well...just about every philosopher since we first made marks on caves.
