So how knowledgeable are you? I don't know whether or not you already have a working knowledge of metal or not.

i suppose he means he just wants thrash or death

I'd say I'm fairly knowledgeable. I have a working knowledge of the history of metal and some of the big/important bands in most of the subgenres. I'm just fairly out of touch of what is new and actually good.

I like what I'm hearing in the sludge/prog metal scene right now, though.

Not at all! I'm open to tons of things, I'm just not huge into power of black metal. If you have anything that will blow my expectations away in either genre feel free to suggest them.

have you heard Eyehategod yet? i didn't like them much at first but they're growing on me

But didn't you accuse them, of sounding like a bunch of drunk guys trying to play their guitars.:confused:

Wow, definitely liked what I heard there. I'm listening to Dwellings on Grooveshark right now. They kind of remind me of Coroner, who I love, so that's a good thing. Thanks for the suggestion!

They're alright. I'm more of a Mastodon, Baroness, Torche, Electric Wizard, Stonecutters kinda guy, when it comes to sludge.

And for those who don't know, Stonecutters is an EXCELLENT sludge band that's local to the Louisville scene. They tour around with a lot of big names in the metal world, I highly suggest checking em out.

1st Wave of Black Metal + NWOBHM = Midnight, "Endless Slut"



1st Wave of Black Metal + Street Punk = Barbatos, "Hot City Bitch"

Sorry dude... not really feelin those. Nice try though.

bunch of drunk guys playing guitars is starting to sound appealing

enough is never enough said about Enuff Z'Nuff

they're a power-pop band playing in the hair metal way

one of my fave bands

check 'em out if you haven't already
