Mayhem are ok. Some songs are a hit and miss for me. They have a pretty good drummer though.

That's the main reason I love Mayhem! That drummer, man. I got into Vomitorial Corpulence/Antestor/Horde-esque bands afterwards (Yep. I was a thumper at one point), then found a good niche with melodic death metal. Omnium Gatherum are my favorite in that genre at the moment along with Arsis to scratch that "black vocals" itch.
What are your favorite bands/genres?

To be honest, I digressed into "core" (embarrassingly enough) by the time I was 15-16ish, and slowly built myself up to "elitist" metal when I was 19. I do love atmospheric metal, but take it easy on the "evil" because it just becomes a monotonous message of "THINK FOR YOURSELF! OMG SATAN!" Dimmu Borgir is a bit of a guilty pleasure, however. :P
