Lecterfan, you should relax mate. We're all friends here. This isn't some kind of pissing contest (but I know what you are getting at, there are a lot of jaded metal people around). Fortunately it seems the blokes on this thread are all pretty friendly and open minded. I think it's a good place for people to be able to throw it out there and maybe get some new bands to check out. I for one have been checking out the videos and links posted (by the way I'm a big damamged and frankenbok fan, I was also looking for sadistik exekutions' volcanik violence on youtube... but alas no cigar).
I listen to all sorts of music from classical and honky tonk to blues, funk and all types of metal and hardcore. As long as it's good, I'll listen to it.. it just so happens a lot of what i think is good is heavy stuff. However, I do also wear boots, camo pants and band tshirts as my default get up.. call me conformist, but I like to think I'm waving a flag to all the other metalheads out there. It's kinda cool when some stranger on the street makes a positive comment about a band whose shirt you're wearing. But they're only clothes, not an obligation. Also, I think knowing that most bands make most of their money out of merch (not albums), I think it's a great way to support the bands you like.
I've seen enough mud slinging between fans of different bands, different sub-genres, different era's.. it really bites when fans of heavy music spend all their time tearing apart other bands in a slightly different sub-genre of heavy music. Generally that is why i don't get into sub-genre shit and just say i like 'metal' or heavy music. Some of it may technically be rock or doom, some may be new school hardcore.. but in the end if it's good it's good and I don't really care what sub-genre some jackoff at a pop-culture magazine has labelled a band as.
As Tom Araya would say,
'Listen, you guys in the front here? Keep an eye on each other alright? If you see somebody goin' down? Help em out, alright? That's what you're here to do. Help each other out'.
And with that and all the talk of old school hardcore, here's some newer stuff
