Cast

gollark: If you can't sleep, just stay up until you collapse from exhaustion.
gollark: I mean, I can't really provide a more useful answer than "it is a genre which encompasses a lot of music I like listening to".
gollark: I figure that, having had some time to think, I'll answer the bot pretty late, then: Erra, Motionless in White, Brothers of Metal, Fit For A King, Rising Insane, Thornhill.

gollark: Probably. I'm just terrible at answering "favourite X" questions.
