Black metal. Nothing blocks out the rest of the world like black metal. Mostly on those weeks I'm running on 3-hours sleep a night and coffee. Satyricon - Mother North
Emperor - I Am the Black Wizards
Samael - Rite of Cthulhu
Limbonic Art - Beyond The Candles Burning
Abazagorath - The Chaos That Crawls Beyond The Stars Industrial and the related mess of microgenres, trad goth, and neofolk. I was that kind of teenager.
