Started out as a thrasher and a short spell into classic Hard Rock was really deep into the 80s retro thrash/Speed (Whiplash, Annihilator, Onslaught, Vio-lence, Xentrix, Flotsam n Jetsam, Exodus etc) i did what i thought to have exhausted every Thrash that there was (how naive) but then came Pantera of whom were then classified as Groove and i dug deep into bands that fell into that category...there wasnt much, rather there wasnt much as good as Pantera.
A mate hooked me up with a DVD with a mixed collection of metal and thats how i got into Industrial (being that i had grown up listening to electronic music)
I did realize there was a whole lot more into Metal and i became very adventurous listening to anything and everything in that label. I fell in love with MDM and Black Metal, enjoyed a bit Middle Eastern Folk, Some African metal bands, Russian Gothic Doom and a whole load of other sub genres BUT being originally a thrasher i had this notion that Glam music was gay music (remember Mustaine saying GLAM = (G)ay (LA) (M)etal) so i had a closed mind about Glam...that was until i stumbled on a couple of WASP videos and i was hooked...i checked the documentaries shot on Glam and realized that Thrasher may have hated on Glam 'cause these lads scored more pussy that an animal orphanage
I've learned to respect metal music but sadly Deathcore has never cut it for me (believe me i have tried) I did a bit of All Shall Perish, Red Cord, Ion Dissonance etc but Chelsea Grin and likes of Suicide Silence i just couldnt. Anyway for each his own, i know a lot of peeps that are really into Deathcore.
STAY BRUTAL
