What artist(s) have gotten you through some of the hardest situations in your life?
 

For me, it was Shinedown, Lacuna Coil, Scar Symmetry, aaaaaand...I know there's one more...oh, Insomnium! Don't know how I forgot them. They're one of my favorite bands.

Anyway, how about you guys?

Paysage D'Hiver, the ambient Burzum tracks from [I]Hvis[/I] and [I]Filosofem[/I], a good set of headphones and weed.

But what hard situations did those bands get you through and how did they help?

To be fair, If You Only Knew got me through a couple of meh times, but nothing serious

Explosions in the sky chilled me out when i was tripping on a half ounce of perfectly legal oyster mushrooms once.

Is this what we are looking for?

no idea, but I like your avatar

Around the Fur by the Deftones circa 2005-2006. I was a depressed adolescent male student in middle school. Enough said.

My shit changes usually every years but this much has stuck with me for the down moments in my life
A Perfect Circle-Thirteenth Step
Murder By Death-Who Will Survive
O'Brother-Garden Window
Tool-Aenima
Deicide-The Stench of Redemption(Not joking)

I listened to a LOT of Bullet For My Valentine when my dad died, that was my lowest ebb. Seriously a lot. Mainly The Poison. I tend to avoid that album now cos the attachment to it but I do hold it in incredibly high esteem because of that now.

Nowadays it's mostly Devy.

Scar Symmetry is a great band no doubt, but they haven't really "helped me through tough times". I would say Moonsorrow.

Also Replica by Sonata Arctica and Deep Affection by Galneryus. Great songs.

mewithoutYou

Some Sonota Arctica, Avantasia, and HammerFall...

Woe, Is Me.

Brand new.

Darkthrone or GTFO

Korn got me through a lot of stuff! I've stopped listening to them now though, just grown distant from their music

Type O Negative
The Who
Operation Ivy
Primus
sisters of mercy
the jam


there are specific albums from these bands that get me through moods or at least get me through the day

[QUOTE=Aaron;18989791]Darkthrone or GTFO[/QUOTE]



funny

The Devil Wears Prada, Of Mice & Men, Suicide Silence, etc

johnny cash got me through that one time the pigs pulled me over under probable suspicion of me being "drunk", so I passed the "walk in a line" test and nailed their lame "road-side evaluation"

Neutral Milk Hotel-In an Airplane over the Sea. Very emotional album for me.

Long as i can see the light by CCR. So calm

Jakob - Solace
Weakling

Helped me when I was depressed.

Emmure

I TRIED MY FUCKING BEST

the art of taste considered as a whole, the artist specifically is my own taste

same with everyone else, your possibilities available to you make you the real artist, considering how you use music to make an experience in life

/kickflips out of this subforum

no. none of that happens.
