From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi all, I predominately edit articles pertaining to metal and rock bands, particularly metalcore and djent. Some of my favourites in no particular order include Bring Me the Horizon, Periphery, Bad Omens, Breaking Benjamin, Motionless in White, and Spiritbox.

Outside of metal, I am also interested in chemistry and linguistics; find me on Wiktionary, where I mostly contribute to the Brythonic languages, and also provide audio pronunciations for chemistry-related terms and British toponyms.

Favourites

[edit]
  • Favourite band: Breaking Benjamin
    To be honest, this seems to change whenever I'm asked but I think they would probably be my most frequent answer, and they were the first band I properly got into in maybe 2020 or 2021
  • Favourite album: Holy Hell (2018) by Architects
    Heavy and emotional, Sam's vocals in this album are stunning, "The Seventh Circle" being 1:48 of pure breakdown will forever be amazing to me, but the title track takes the cake on this album for me
  • Favourite vocalist: Spencer Sotelo (Periphery)
    I love his clean vocal range, particularly in "Satellites" and "Wax Wings", and how well it complements his powerful screams shown in "Blood Eagle" and "Mr. God"; "Atropos" is probably my favourite showcase of his two styles together
  • Favourite song: "Alligator Blood" (2010) by Bring Me the Horizon, from There Is a Hell...
    To be honest, no notes, this is my most played song on Spotify and I can't fault that position, Oli's vocals and Lee's guitar work in this song are chef's kiss

Pet peeves

[edit]
  • I can't help fixing small stylistic things such MOS:CURLY and MOS:CAPS
  • Americanisms and MM/DD/YY included in articles that aren't American
  • I think including |lang=en in references on English Wikipedia is pointless
  • Genre warring – I can never remember specific definitions of genres so if a review calls something a particular genre, then it should be included (regardless of what IP user edits might think)
  • Perhaps I'm missing it but I wish there was a template for displaying userboxes horizontally as below, akin to {{Babel}}
