1. The Adrenaline rush of a live show
2. The pure excitement just one band can cause
3. The community are awesome people, we're not all douchebags like some people think we are.
4. The feeling of being part of something bigger
5. It helps me to relax (surprisingly)
Personally, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say US thrash. Germany has some great bands which have been mentioned above but the pure US grit does it for me.
The Fallen Angel welcomes you to the greatest community in the world. The Metal Community!
I was first introduced into the world of metal at a mere 3 weeks old. Using Metallica's "Black Album" as my lullaby. Ever since then my metal span has increased and I never looked back!
Long Live Metal!
