Name: Joe Hawker

Resides In: UK

Favorite Band: Agalloch

Least Favorite Band: Woods of Ypres

Favorite Album: All Agalloch albums

Favorite Non-Metal Band: Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Favorite Metal Styles: Black, doom, experimental mostly. I'll listen to and enjoy just about anything provided it's good, but black and doom are my favorites.

Least Favorite Styles: Can't say I've enjoyed much thrash or anything -core. Not that I'd refuse a band for being those, it's just not something I've been overly lucky with. There's not a lot I don't like, just stuff I haven't learned to like.

Pet Peeves: Bands watering shit down, special edition releases for no reason, general stunts for profit as opposed to relying on your music.
