Just an old metalhead

[AkiraTheViking]

33 year old Metalhead here. Love me some Cannibal Corpse, Lamb Of God, Pantera, Deviod Of Thought, Skeptic, Morgal, Slayer, Amon Amarth. I'm really into Brutal Death Metal, Death Thrash, Thrash, Viking/Midevil Metal, Power/Fantasy Metal, Beer Metal, Norwegian/Satanic Black Metal.

But as I've gotten older, instead of "mellowing out" like most people do, my tastes in music have gotten darker and more evil and Satanic. I've been listening to almost nothing but black/death metal bands for almost 20 years now.

Damn, we're almost twins. I grew up in the 90s/00s listing to Van Halen, Journey (Yeah I know), Ozzy, The Offspring, P.O.D., Puddle Of Mudd and a plethora of different genres thanks to the 90s/00s incarnations of Power Rangers (they thought me to be a mini headbanger). In my late teens I wanted to impress people so I pretended to like rap as well as a certain blonde country pop she urchin who must not be named and hate rock. Then in my early 20s I was introduced to metalcore, which lead me to punk and other subgeneres which lead me to Cannibal Corpse and a bunch of local death/black/trash metal concerts and here I am now.

You should check out a podcast called Metal Enema, it's how I get to hear new stuff from the underground Death and Black metal scene.
