Here's what happened: i woke up at 11am, slept at around 2pm after lunch, and woke up again at 7.30pm. when i wasn't sleeping or eating, mostly i was listening to songs from this band i just discovered today, called Sikth. i think they're classified as progressive/avant garde/mathcore, and personally i find that their style is kind of like The Dillinger Escape Plan + Protest The Hero + Pinkly Smooth. i really don't know what else to say, so have a listen:
i find it quite interesting that even within the metal genre as a whole, there are also certain "mainstream" and "alternative" genres. bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica, and Avenged Sevenfold's modern style are kind of the "mainstream" kind of metal and what people usually first listen to when they get exposed to it. then you have screamo and metalcore bands like old A7X and Bullet For My Valentine, which take a bit of getting used to. beyond that, even the regular tempo of songs gets tweaked with, and you get progressive metalcore and mathcore like Protest The Hero and The Dillinger Escape Plan. and, of course, Sikth. well, now i kind of realise how deep i've gotten myself into, seeing how barely any of my friends can fully appreciate PTH, and absolutely nobody whom i know personally can sit through an entire TDEP song. soooo i have kind of marginalised mysel musically? :O
i'm still a bit disappointed in spending majority of the day sleeping. you'en says that it's probably due to burnout from overworking throughout the weekdays, and i think he's right. or maybe i'm just making myself feel better by blaming it all on "working too hard". oh well.
PS: i was too late; Sikth had already disbanded years before i discovered them :(
