Sounds like your still getting your feet wet. Based on what you like I'd suggest testament, lamb of god, chimaira,early mastodon, living sacrifice, maybe even tool or primus too

My dream is to go to obcene extreme at least once. I can't go this year because I recently had my first child. I'm curious to hear your stories about the festival and anyone's plans if they are going this year.

check out ALKALOID-The Malkuth Grimoire it has bunch of guys from obscura and is pretty diverse Cthulu and Funeral For a Continent are some great tracks in my opionion. Also Bodysnatch - Universe of Gory Tales is an awesome album even though its only three tracks long it rips especially if you like low guttural vocals.

metal to me is raw power and beauty at the same time. A force of nature that lives within my soul. When I hear a good riff or blazing solo it stirs something inside.. It inspires me and gives me that drive I need to get things done and deal with all the bullshit life throws my way.

Yea I noticed I think it's an under appreciated genre there are some really good bands but also alot of crap. I think the twisted album titles and artwork turn people off.

Im really into slam lately and I see no one really talks about it. i'm curious if anyone listens to slam and what their favorite band and albums are. mine are: 1.putrefy- one nation under gore 2.devourment - unleash the carnivore 3.atrocious abnormalty- echoes of the rotting 4.bodysnatch- universe of gory tales 5.cesspool of vermin- bestial necrophelia

The most metal thing I have is actually my sons I got him a cannibal corpse onesie haha.

Skinless Decapitated Gorelord Belphegor Living Sacrifice
