04 Mercenary
05 Epica
06 Tiamat
07 Evergrey
08 Moonspell

Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

-- What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
If I recall correctly, I first heard of Tiamat after watching the music video for "Cain".

-- What is your favourite album of 2?
Songs for the Sinners—amazing listening experience from start to finish

-- What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
I love the moment at 7:14 in the song "Fools of Damnation" when the music just stops and then Simone picks it up again while singing "Fool, dance with me again,
I am your destiny, mark my words, don't you ever disagree"

-- How many times have you seen 4 live?
None. Fuckers don't seem to ever leave Europe.

-- What is your favourite song by 7?
Probably "Harmless Wishes", followed closely by "More Than Ever"

-- What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
Either singing "Laid to Rest" in Rock Band with Jorge playing the drums, or breaking my hand in the moshpit at their concert

-- Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Well, it is Sentenced, so pretty one the ones that don't have tongue-in-cheek humor tend to be depressing. Some bring back memories, though, such as "Her Last 5 Minutes", but I like to think I'm over that already

-- What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
I love the beginning of "In Brief War" with the quote "In war there is no substitute for victory", as well as the lyrics for "Grey":

Frail as ice I shall rise for the repent you've been haunting for
Devil's smile beneath the eyes I caress
Pierced to be nothing but me in the everlasting race of hate
We're blessed to breathe yet I can't see why me

Wish I'd never be

Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion

Bring me love, bring me hate I can't use them anyway
Sterilized blood of Christ won't taste
Shoot me bury me hundred times, what difference does it make
We're blessed to breathe, oh I can't see why me

Wish I'd never be

Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion

So cold when someone's near
So cold without our tears yet nothing more to seek

Shoot me bury me hundred times
Shoot me bury me hundred times
Shoot me and take me away from oblivion

Nothing more than breeze within your name
Never be the storm that built me flesh and take me away from oblivion

-- What is your favourite song by 9?
Either "Moonlight" or "The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)"

-- How did you get into 3?
I heard the song "Excuse Me While I Kill Myself" in a compilation called Metal for the Masses that a friend lent me back in high school. It wasn't until much later that I bumped into the song again and began exploring the rest of their material.

-- What was the first song you heard by 1?
Probably "Conquer All", also through the music video

-- What is your favourite song by 4?
"11 Dreams", definitely—the song is just epic from beginning to end

-- How many time have you seen 9 live?
None, but that fact should change in a few months

-- What is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Telling my best friend about them, being ignored and dismissed, and then months later having him come into my room saying, "Dude, Charon is amazing!"

-- Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Not really; in the case of Moonspell, I don't really associate any past experiences with them, although I probably looped their softer songs ("Luna", "Dreamless (Lucifer And Lillith)", and a few from Darkness And Hope) when I wasn't feeling 100%

-- What is your favourite album of 5?
The Divine Conspiracy

-- What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
Sentenced have some great lyrics, but the ones that move me everytime I read them/listen to them are the ones for "Blood & Tears"

What is it that we're struggling for?
I don't quite see it anymore
Life kicks us in the teeth
Yet something makes us crawl back for more

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of tears
Yet somehow...

We'll lose the things we're fighting for
Each rise is followed by a fall
We'll lose the ones we love, the ones we most adore
Yet go on... We go on

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of tears
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile
For a moment

What is it that we're waiting for?
Looking forward to, preparing for?
Life kicks us in the teeth
Yet something makes us crawl back for more

Blood and tears upon the altars of our lives we shed
Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death
Hours like days, weeks feel like years
Decades of tears
Yet somehow everything seems so worthwhile
For a moment

Second place would probably go to "With Bitterness And Joy"

-- What is your favourite song of 1?
At the moment, "The Nephilim Rising", but overall, "Zos Kia Cultus"

-- What is your favourite song of 10?
I really like "Laid to Rest", maybe because it's the first one I learned the lyrics to, but I think they did an amazing job in "Walk With Me In Hell". "11th Hour" is also one of their best moments, I believe.

-- How many times have you seen 8 live?
Once, together with Tiamat (best concert in my life, I must say)

-- What is your favourite album of 1?
Probably "The Apostasy", but it could be "Demigod" just the same

-- What is a great memory you have considering 9?
I'll postpone the answer to this question for now

-- What was the first song you heard by 8?
Either "In And Above Man" or "Everything Invaded" (forgot which one)]]>
