Current favourites (and reminder to myself to listen them more): Lord Belial, Ov Hollowness, Raventale, Heretoir, Iskald, The Ruins of Beverast
My opinions may sometimes be hateful, but although I have some nihilistic, sceptic, harsh stuff, deep down I'm very kind and peaceful gentleman. I learn through nothing else but life itself.
I hear new music every day, sometimes it's too much and I'm overwhelmed by all the choices. Sometimes it's too hard to decide what to listen next, so feel free to recommend me something, even something I have already heard. It really helps.
My stats may vary, listening "softer" stuff at work so people don't get scared. After all, I'm not picky about good music even if it's lighter or harsher stuff.
Some have said I'm not "true" or listen "true" music, since I can listen artists like Coldplay and put songs like Satan My Master on next just fine. There is no "true" for me. I deny stuff that may have some worth to you. If you think one should listen to only one kind of music, you are the poser, not me. I'm not going to prove anything to you or anyone else. I don't care what you or others think about me.

I would love to hear your opinion of music, me, life, you, or anything. What is so interesting here? Please leave a comment already.
But...
Important / Read first: If you want just add me to grow your friendlist by sending a friend request without saying anything: don't. I will consider accepting your request if you like to discuss with me with things. I also will accept friend requests as long as I know you from somewhere, anywhere, special, Internet, or real life.
If your eye will not catch this or you ignore my simple rules of Internet friendship, fuck off this instant. I despise you who are not getting it despite my effort to tell the reasons, making my email notifications blink, causing unnecessary Last.fm server load and spam with unexplained friend requests, just because you are too lazy to read!
So please do not bother if you are not going to make any contact, you haven't met me before, you only think my music or taste is cool, or I just seem an interesting person. I get lots of unreasonable requests already.
I appreciate very much if you waste some time for reading my About Me section. I want to make every visit here meaningful. Thanks! I am very sorry, but this thing just keeps growing and GROWING, and now it's all over the place! The real "About me" is down there, so one more reason to keep reading.
I photograph and interview bands whenever I get the chance. I work for finnish metal music webzine metallimusiikki.net. If you have a band or label and are interested in me to write reviews or interview you, please contact me by shouting or sending a pm.
Main thoughts
World is evil, fucked up, I really think that way. There is as much as shit as beauty in this world, but because of the great amount of shit we cannot see the beauty. Especially when you are drowning. I consider myself thoughtful and philosophical person. I'm naturally very calm, and my maybe a bit harsh appearance does not reflect my personality at all. Remember, the kindest and the most thoughtful people are usually those who are most vulnerable and easily depressed by the sickness around us...
I could say I have seen much evil. World is full of violence, evil people, blood, terror, incest, and so on. We're all potential child rapists, murderers, thieves and any other egocentric dung you can think of. When you experience misery long enough, you stop believing in good.
I'm one of those who still see hope, but sometimes even hope seems to be just an illusion. I constantly keep silently thinking, why stuff happens. Why diseases, why misery, why this shit? Where are those golden beaches from those fancy holiday ads in television? Where is that place to be free, to run free on endless meadows and warm sun, with only joy and wealth? Nowhere to be seen but in my dreams. Every day we seem to sink deeper to our misery, days go darker and never ending winter gets colder... But aren’t we all hiding until the moment we’re dying. And maybe I’m free, but freedom just means that I’m lost. It feels like I’m driving without ever arriving. I really don’t know what it needs to put my smile on, to turn the light on. It always seems I’m falling down. They think I’m crazy.
My wife has a disease which causes deafblindness. She is partly deaf (can hear music with hearing aid, without it; nada) and blind already, and our family is bilingual with sign language as a second language. Her disease (usher syndrome, you can google it) is continuous and incurable, and she is losing her vision and hearing day by day. Some day she might not be able to listen music again. I hope for the best. But that is not the thing we are worried about... we are used to those things, using speech and signlanguage, bilingually. No, the real issue is mental health, the lack of joy in life, the unbearable feeling of emptiness and misery.
For some reason destiny has decided that her disease was not enough. She has been near death for many times, if not by hands of someone else, for the suicidal causes. All is to blame this sick world, psychopats, violence, people. It makes me hate humanity, or at least lose faith in it, and it colours and empowers my opinions for sure.
I have also been there. I'm not suicidal any more, but I suffer depression. It seems that every day is a fight for survival. In this world reputation, money, and people rule. Without even one of those things you can't live. But the final good thing is that I have learned many lessons in life, and one is being happy about what you've got. It's the only way. Even the most suicidal person respects life as much he can wake up the next day. If you don't have that, the only way is Omega, the end of everything. Sometimes letting go is only thing to do, but it is final. I hope my world does not come to an end any time soon. I respect life as crazy as it sounds. Life can be a bitch, but it can surely smile too. Let's fuck life in the ass and enjoy the rest of our lives with things we've got?
Why I'm here? The tagline of Last.fm tells it all: "A Social Music Revolution". I'm here because I love music, reviewing music, discovering music, and making conversations about music. Last.fm is the new generation of social music, and I want to be part of that.
I listen music everywhere, every time. And everything goes to Last.fm. I'm used to it, and I'm fully standing behind the official Last.fm-quote, "if it doesn't scrobble, it doesn't count".
I'm one of those who honor the original last.fm account and does not make a new one or reset because "this is not my accurate music taste any longer" or "my nick sounds lame". You can view charts by last seven days which is enough for me.
I'm always insterested in new discoveries, and my music taste is endlessly versatile. That might explain the low plays per artist charts. However, depending my fascination and interest, it takes very long or short time to bands/artist to get to top 50. The best way to get my current taste view charts by last 7 days first and afterwards the overall. Also I highly recommend to check my top listened albums, especially last 12 months, to get the whole picture.
If you are wondering how the hell I'm listening albums/tracks which are not yet published: I work for finnish metal webzine, and get new releases beforehand. I am also a nerd, and I get a toaster to scrobble if I want to, and usually artists put new tracks beforehand in services like myspace or youtube. Currently my Linux machine scrobbles (besides normal mp3 and audio) myspace, soundcloud, youtube, and flash audio.
Clients & scrobblers I have used

Spotify, Subsonic, MusicCabinet (my favourite), Last.fm Radio, Songbird, MPD, mpdscribble, Ncmpcpp, gmpc, mopidy, scrobd, zomg, Mobbler, scrobbl, Rdio, Pandora.fm (through proxy, ehm), ScrobbleSmurf, Last.fm scrobbler for Chrome, My Cloud Player, Youtify, LastVJ, universalscrobbler, radiotuna, bandcamp scrobbler, presto.fm, ...and some more.
Websites I've made or taking part in
Metallimusiikki.net, Rollemaa.org, Pikkuinen, Unipäiväkirja, peikko.us, roni.laukkarinen.info, problemsolv.in + hundreds and hundreds of sites I've done as professional work.

What about me?
As I said before, my About me -section keeps growing and growing, but it doesn't mind me at all. If you think I'm selfish, I'm not, I only love writing. I write daily, but unfortunately not in english (if you don't count Last.fm).
I love melancholic music, mostly metal, but music in general. I have to say I listen mainly metal (mostly black metal, melodic death metal, and doom metal). From time to time I tend to ignore everything else. I love every metal genre from the bottom of my heart, except thrash metal.
They say 8 out of 10 great metal bands are from Finland. Well, I'm from cold north Finland so I guess I fucking own (I'm not trying to be arrogant, haha). My hometown and current location is Jyväskylä, the proud city of many great metal bands: Swallow the Sun, Sotajumala, Soulfallen, Manufacturer's Pride, Ghost Brigade, Dark the Suns, Alghazanth.
So, this is me Rolle who has diverse taste in music, but practically is all metal listener. Metal is definitely my favourite genre, but I'm quite openminded when it comes to music. My beloved wife mustikkasoppa listens metal as well. I'm a happy father of one.

Me and my wife, Halloween 2009.
Musical history
It was 1998 or something when I first fell in love with metal (at the same time I started playing classic piano, later acoustic and electric guitar). Of course back in the days it wasn't so "heavy" at first. My metal-habits didn't start first with classic 80s bands like Iron Maiden, no, I started with Nu Metal (I think it was more hard rock at that time), with bands like Blindside and P.O.D..
It is obvious that I was a bit more religious than today (blame my christian raising), so it influenced a bit with my choose of artists. Later my metal taste got distracted by electronic genres like trance. After 2003 I started listening metal as my main genre despite the fact that everybody around me blamed me for supporting devil's work. To this day I've been extending my metal knowledge to thousands of metal bands, and growing...
Now let's get over with the rest of necessary lists and that shit.

I appreciate very much if you waste some time for reading my About Me section. I want to make every visit here meaningful. Thanks! I am very sorry, but this thing just keeps growing and GROWING, and now it's all over the place! The real "About me" is down there, so one more reason to keep reading.
I photograph and interview bands whenever I get the chance. I work for finnish metal music webzine metallimusiikki.net. If you have a band or label and are interested in me to write reviews or interview you, please contact me by shouting or sending a pm.
Main thoughtsWorld is evil, fucked up, I really think that way. There is as much as shit as beauty in this world, but because of the great amount of shit we cannot see the beauty. Especially when you are drowning. I consider myself thoughtful and philosophical person. I'm naturally very calm, and my maybe a bit harsh appearance does not reflect my personality at all. Remember, the kindest and the most thoughtful people are usually those who are most vulnerable and easily depressed by the sickness around us...
I could say I have seen much evil. World is full of violence, evil people, blood, terror, incest, and so on. We're all potential child rapists, murderers, thieves and any other egocentric dung you can think of. When you experience misery long enough, you stop believing in good.
I'm one of those who still see hope, but sometimes even hope seems to be just an illusion. I constantly keep silently thinking, why stuff happens. Why diseases, why misery, why this shit? Where are those golden beaches from those fancy holiday ads in television? Where is that place to be free, to run free on endless meadows and warm sun, with only joy and wealth? Nowhere to be seen but in my dreams. Every day we seem to sink deeper to our misery, days go darker and never ending winter gets colder... But aren’t we all hiding until the moment we’re dying. And maybe I’m free, but freedom just means that I’m lost. It feels like I’m driving without ever arriving. I really don’t know what it needs to put my smile on, to turn the light on. It always seems I’m falling down. They think I’m crazy.
My wife has a disease which causes deafblindness. She is partly deaf (can hear music with hearing aid, without it; nada) and blind already, and our family is bilingual with sign language as a second language. Her disease (usher syndrome, you can google it) is continuous and incurable, and she is losing her vision and hearing day by day. Some day she might not be able to listen music again. I hope for the best. But that is not the thing we are worried about... we are used to those things, using speech and signlanguage, bilingually. No, the real issue is mental health, the lack of joy in life, the unbearable feeling of emptiness and misery.
For some reason destiny has decided that her disease was not enough. She has been near death for many times, if not by hands of someone else, for the suicidal causes. All is to blame this sick world, psychopats, violence, people. It makes me hate humanity, or at least lose faith in it, and it colours and empowers my opinions for sure.
I have also been there. I'm not suicidal any more, but I suffer depression. It seems that every day is a fight for survival. In this world reputation, money, and people rule. Without even one of those things you can't live. But the final good thing is that I have learned many lessons in life, and one is being happy about what you've got. It's the only way. Even the most suicidal person respects life as much he can wake up the next day. If you don't have that, the only way is Omega, the end of everything. Sometimes letting go is only thing to do, but it is final. I hope my world does not come to an end any time soon. I respect life as crazy as it sounds. Life can be a bitch, but it can surely smile too. Let's fuck life in the ass and enjoy the rest of our lives with things we've got?
Why I'm here? The tagline of Last.fm tells it all: "A Social Music Revolution". I'm here because I love music, reviewing music, discovering music, and making conversations about music. Last.fm is the new generation of social music, and I want to be part of that.
I listen music everywhere, every time. And everything goes to Last.fm. I'm used to it, and I'm fully standing behind the official Last.fm-quote, "if it doesn't scrobble, it doesn't count".
I'm one of those who honor the original last.fm account and does not make a new one or reset because "this is not my accurate music taste any longer" or "my nick sounds lame". You can view charts by last seven days which is enough for me.
I'm always insterested in new discoveries, and my music taste is endlessly versatile. That might explain the low plays per artist charts. However, depending my fascination and interest, it takes very long or short time to bands/artist to get to top 50. The best way to get my current taste view charts by last 7 days first and afterwards the overall. Also I highly recommend to check my top listened albums, especially last 12 months, to get the whole picture.
If you are wondering how the hell I'm listening albums/tracks which are not yet published: I work for finnish metal webzine, and get new releases beforehand. I am also a nerd, and I get a toaster to scrobble if I want to, and usually artists put new tracks beforehand in services like myspace or youtube. Currently my Linux machine scrobbles (besides normal mp3 and audio) myspace, soundcloud, youtube, and flash audio.
Clients & scrobblers I have used
Spotify, Subsonic, MusicCabinet (my favourite), Last.fm Radio, Songbird, MPD, mpdscribble, Ncmpcpp, gmpc, mopidy, scrobd, zomg, Mobbler, scrobbl, Rdio, Pandora.fm (through proxy, ehm), ScrobbleSmurf, Last.fm scrobbler for Chrome, My Cloud Player, Youtify, LastVJ, universalscrobbler, radiotuna, bandcamp scrobbler, presto.fm, ...and some more.
Websites I've made or taking part inMetallimusiikki.net, Rollemaa.org, Pikkuinen, Unipäiväkirja, peikko.us, roni.laukkarinen.info, problemsolv.in + hundreds and hundreds of sites I've done as professional work.

What about me?As I said before, my About me -section keeps growing and growing, but it doesn't mind me at all. If you think I'm selfish, I'm not, I only love writing. I write daily, but unfortunately not in english (if you don't count Last.fm).
I love melancholic music, mostly metal, but music in general. I have to say I listen mainly metal (mostly black metal, melodic death metal, and doom metal). From time to time I tend to ignore everything else. I love every metal genre from the bottom of my heart, except thrash metal.
They say 8 out of 10 great metal bands are from Finland. Well, I'm from cold north Finland so I guess I fucking own (I'm not trying to be arrogant, haha). My hometown and current location is Jyväskylä, the proud city of many great metal bands: Swallow the Sun, Sotajumala, Soulfallen, Manufacturer's Pride, Ghost Brigade, Dark the Suns, Alghazanth.
So, this is me Rolle who has diverse taste in music, but practically is all metal listener. Metal is definitely my favourite genre, but I'm quite openminded when it comes to music. My beloved wife mustikkasoppa listens metal as well. I'm a happy father of one.

Me and my wife, Halloween 2009.
Musical historyIt was 1998 or something when I first fell in love with metal (at the same time I started playing classic piano, later acoustic and electric guitar). Of course back in the days it wasn't so "heavy" at first. My metal-habits didn't start first with classic 80s bands like Iron Maiden, no, I started with Nu Metal (I think it was more hard rock at that time), with bands like Blindside and P.O.D..
It is obvious that I was a bit more religious than today (blame my christian raising), so it influenced a bit with my choose of artists. Later my metal taste got distracted by electronic genres like trance. After 2003 I started listening metal as my main genre despite the fact that everybody around me blamed me for supporting devil's work. To this day I've been extending my metal knowledge to thousands of metal bands, and growing...
Now let's get over with the rest of necessary lists and that shit.
