Personal text: I love anything obscure, esoteric, subversive and extreme, particularly droning soundscapes, ambient, industrial, noise, black metal (though very little depressive black metal) and a fair amount of doom. I don't tend to listen to very much death metal unless it's especially unique or interesting. Also have occasional cravings for the overly epic and melodic as well as trancey EBM, hardcore gabba and powernoise. Still enjoy melodic death, don't mind a little metalcore and nu-metal from time to time, am indifferent to power metal and heavy metal and despise most thrash.

A veritable cornucopia of non-metal:

Doom, Deathprod, Religious Knives, Jessica Bailiff, Konau, New Risen Throne, Voice Transmissions With The Deceased, Whisper Room, m__, Hecq, Sewer Girl, Wildildlife, Navicon Torture Technologies, NON, SPK, The Gerogerigegege, Live, To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie, Depeche Mode, Kō_Ōtani, Shoji Meguro, Hitoshi Sakimoto, Akira Yamaoka, Boards Of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss, Tycho, Tangerine Dream, Igorrr, Terrorfakt, Xotox, VNV Nation, Assemblage 23, Venetian Snares, Leakh, Pneumatic Detach, Lydia Lunch, Pocahaunted, Ludovico Einaudi, Lamia, Conjure One, Bôa, Dido, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Creed (see Urban Dictionary: Serial)

Also a video game fanatic, particularly the:
Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid series'. Also, Xenogears, Chrono Chross, Vagrant Story, Suikoden II, Star Ocean II, Parasite Eve II, Legend of Dragoon, Grandia, Shadow Hearts II, Shin Megami Tensei's Nocturne, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Fable II, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana, Shining Force II, Fallout III, Resident Evil IV, Dead Space, SSX Tricky, Morrowind, Dragon Age: Origins, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami

I also enjoy making lists//substituting food for coffee//destroying my sleeping pattern with dystopian science fiction, dirty gothic clubs and parties where losers congregate//consuming chemicals which the Government have deemed bad for me in their infinite wisdom//drinking when the former cannot be obtained//photographising urban decay//going over the 999 character limit in Metalstorm's "personal text" box by updating it from a mobile phone//fucking wit' choo//flooding profiles with needless affectations
