How I got into metal: I used to love punk and nu metal. One day I heard some music off "Ride The Lightning" and I became hooked. Acca Dacca helped too.
Favourite genres: anything, really. I guess thrash and black aren't featured heavily in my usual lists but I
love all metal. At the moment I am really digging melodic death, death and progressive.
Favourite things about metal: the drumming, the guitar work and the overall musicianship.
Recommend an album:
Animals As Leaders - "Weightless"
Three guys (including Tosin Abasi, a freak). Incredible jazz-fusion sounds.
Ghost Brigade - "Until Fear No Longer Defines Us"
Really into this Finnish band. Catchy riffs and great melodies. Loved their last two albums.
Vader - "Necropolis"
Love this album. Maybe not their best work, but it is brutal.
