Deicide

Yes!

Have you ever heard of Frightmare?

All their songs are about horror movies or related subjects.

We must have come of age in the same era.

I pulled out and dusted off In Search of the Lost Chord a month back but after 35 years it didn't have the impact it once did. $:-\$ Something was different then..

I think I have something like 1200 albums on my computer, but the only things that move me anymore is classical and old timey folk and bluegrass. I picked up the Smithsonian Anthology of American Folk Music from the library recently, so I've been listening to that.

Otherwise:
Tom Waits (obviously)
Neko Case
Hank Williams
Johnny Cash
John Prine
Nick Cave
William Elliot Whitmore
Damien Jurado
The Books
Cinematic Orchestra

And when I need to write a paper:
Tool's Lateralus
The Mars Volta
Mogwai
Modest Mouse
and (shame shame shame) Daft Punk

I was really into music in high school and when I was doing my undergrad. Spent all my time listening to it, thinking about it, trying to discover new bands. I guess I got really burned out on it and decided to invest my time and mental energies towards more productive things. Now I just put the local classical station on and am done with it.
