What's up, everyone!
I'm an 18-year-old guy from Massachusetts (northeast US). I'm really just getting into metal. Like... the first time I listened to much other than Enter Sandman was about 48 hours ago. I've long been a fan of typical rock, especially grunge. I don't know what caused me to make the jump. As of the time of this writing with the delving into metal that I've done so far, I really enjoy Rishloo, System of a Down, Fair to Midland, Karnivool, most Djent type songs, Volbeat, Megadeth, Opeth, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath (of course), a bit of Judas Priest, and Pantera is great.
I'm here mainly because I'm really enjoying metal so far and I want to immerse myself in the music and the culture more. I don't want to sound too ignorant if I say I listen to metal and I get interrogated. Looking to expand my tastes and ideally become a veritable metalhead in my own right.
Edit: And Tool. I freaking love Tool.
