  • Biography
    I remember the day I became a metalhead. There was a lead-up back in my high s school years, but I remember finding an impossible band, going to the show, my very first show, really timid, not knowing what was going on, but it wasn't your quiet seated musical engagement where you couldn't clap unless it was between movements, this was equivalent to a musical barfight and I was ABOUT IT.

    This day is coming up in May, I would have been in this community for 13 years now. It feels like yesterday that I was at my first show at SONAR, and I want to be throwing the horns in my casket when I die. Unless of course I've gone and did something stupid that made metal look bad, and I know a couple people who I trust to make that call.

  1. Sorry for the meme title, it's entirely sarcastic. I've had anxiety since I was aware of myself. It's well managed for the most part but for the past four nights and tonight I've been having it bad. Thankfully it can get smote pretty easily when I'm listening to metal. However I'm still looking for anything more I haven't thought of to help when I can't listen (like at work) Still haven't been to a proper show. I have a feeling that's part of it.
  2. Yes it is. Dude, I may not be or feel old, but when you work full time (like me) you could have a show right under your nose and still not be able to go cuz you also have to eat and pay bills. Yeah, but, once that's done and I get old, I'll probably velcro myself to the booth. Have a little spot taped out on the floor. 🤣
  3. Head honcho gets big time arrested, his minions have no idea how to run the place, place loses liquor license for the thousandth time, some asshole bought it and turned it into a BALLROOM. A fucking ballroom. And venue after venue just started to fall after that, but Ottobar and The Depot are still fighting like they owe the devil money. Thank God... I love small venues. I might not love the background goings on at SONAR but as soon as I walked in there the vibe (at least that night) was like the square peg that's been expected to somehow fit into a round hole all it's damn life found a square hole that fit like a good glove. I don't even drink that often. Most of the time I'll buy something NA off the bar for courtesy's sake. 89 here, consider myself a nineties kid cuz....I had most of those experiences. (Sock em boppers, sock em boppers, more fun than a pillow fight! 🤣) But you have more on me, I discovered that metal was a thing in 2010. This May it'll be 13 years.
  4. To me, Edguy>Avantasia. What y'all think?
  5. It was SONAR, but it was fake flame. I thought I mentioned that, but maybe I didn't. No, yeah, I did.
  6. I don't live "in" Baltimore but they do have killer shows you gotta admit that. Hoooo. Ok. The list is a lot of power metal, like Hammerfall, Edguy, Sabaton, Grailknights, honorary nod to A Sound of Thunder even though they're progressive.... Falconer, not sure if they apply to power metal? I think so. Thrash- Havok is the only one I really have for thrash but I'm open to suggestions. So much classic and NWOBHM- Dio, some Black Sabbath, Savatage I consider classic just because they may have been one of the roots of power metal but have elements of both, obviously Judas Priest, Iron Maiden. I mentioned A Sound of Thunder but I want to also mention Omnislash, Crimson Orchid, and Arcanon as some of my favorite local bands. There's more, but "work mode" is taking over, and I specifically "programmed" it so I wouldn't either attempt to destroy the speakers or be a loose cannon at work cuz I heard of a show. I'm looking forward to rock with y'all!
  7. Rare? You're looking at one. But uh, I don't "only" listen to thrash, but I tend to stay around that center, powerthrash being my current subsubgenre obsession.
  8. I will never get tired of telling this story. I was in school. I somehow made my way into marching band from orchestra???? And I was given a new instrument I didn't know how to play, so I tried faking playing it. That didn't fly with the drumline instructor, who told me to be louder, really aggressively, and then took my mallets and WHALED on the glockenspiel I was assigned, backwards, while screaming, and headbanging. I found his band a year/year and a half later. I needed to know.... Something. I still am not sure what I needed to know. But it was there saying "GO OVER THERE. YOU NEED TO." I get tickets. Ten dollars. Get in line. The rails. The people. Walk in. Earplugs. Darkness. Lights shine on small pyramids with fake flames coming out. The band plays. I'm in another entire world. Egypt, Osiris and Isis interacting with the world around them. Tragedy strikes, Set kills his brother and seals his soul into his body. Osiris waits. And after coming back to reality, I was very aware that I was going to go to shows for the rest of my life. The bands name was The Phöeniix, and I credit them with even being here today. I say I was found by metal. I feel it's correct because the only year THAT instructor was there was the year I participated. The show at that first venue was one of the last shows of that venue before it got in trouble. If I had the money back then I would have happily risked going bankrupt to save it. So much was positioned just right for me to not only learn about Dio fairly early, but also avoid everything that I could have followed to my detriment. Long live heavy metal!
  9. Hey there! I hope you'll have me. I'm a metalhead from the Baltimore area! My favorite subgenres tend to be more melodic, and I think Savatage is criminally underrated. It might not surprise everyone that I am female, but if you're surprised, you're not paying attention. When i do get to a show I'll get a full kit picture, but in the mean time, have some generic avatar! 😂
