Hi Joni, steer clear of the vegan thread and you shouldn't be scared away too quickly

Don't do drugs? Me neither but I think most of the others do, judging by their posts

I'm 20 minutes from downtown Montreal, yeah. This is a necessary read: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64573

We're in the process of writing new forum rules. But just be cool and it's gonna be fine!

Aye, be cool man. We're like 3000 little Fonzies here, and what's Fonzie like?

I only follow one!

One of my ancestors! not quite true, but oh well, close enough

So I've been lurking a fair bit for the past month ago, figured "Fuck it" and decided to come on in. I'm generally terrible at introductions, but well, I'll give most types of metal a shot, as long as it's not NSBM or something like Waking the Cadaver. I'm mainly into Fear Factory, KMFDM, and then really whatever I'm into at the moment (I've been on a bit of a symphonic/gothic kick lately, as well as a bit of a Liv Kristine kick).

Anywho, I think I may stick around.

Hi guys, i've always checked out this forum since the last year, well today i've decided to write a short message of presentation. Honestly i'm not very good with this kind of stuff, but i will try. I'm Certain Death (yeah i know, my nickname sounds really terrifying), i'm a 20 years old handsome boy from Italy and i think that i listen to too many different kinds of music to write a list of my favorite bands. I have an unexplicable obsession for Pantera, Phil Anselmo and his thousands of side projects. Cheers.

Hey fuckers, been on the MA for a couple years but only recently I have decided to check out the forum. I'm 18 and I currently live in Ontario but I hope I can get out soon because I've spenty entire life here and I need something a bit more exciting. Still in high school, should have graduated but I failed a fuckload of courses because of drinking, drugs, depression and no motivation so I had to return for a full year sentence which I am still serving. I enjoy writing and drinking and I hope to some day actually have something to contribute to the MA. I also hope to actually learn an instrument some day. Fuck the recorder and fuck the clarinet.

Oh, I am also really into Warhammer 40k so if any cool kids wanna shoot the shit about Warhammer fluff with me send me a message.

Hey guys, I decided to register here because my favorite forum has closed, so I went here. I'm 20, living in germany and studying right now. There's not really a genre in metal music which I don't like, but my favorites are folk/pagan/viking stuff and thrash metal. Besides that, I enjoy some Punk, Hardcore, Jazz and even a bit pop music. Pretty extensive, I think. That's because I'm open minded for music, not denying any genre because someone said it's MBS.

So long.

I keep checking this thread to see if anyone says they like "Trash metal."

The education system does not seem to grasp that it is ruining literature. I concur.

I like you now, despite your poor spelling.

My name is Kamil, and I live in hipster-infested Brooklyn, NY. Mostly into black metal: Shining (not really bm, but whatever), Mgła, Taake, Craft, Leviathan, Xasthur, etc. Opeth, Katatonia, Tiamat, also to name a few. Yes, I am Polish, and no I don't like behemoth. I guess that's all I have to say really.

But you like Vader, obviously!

Welcome.

Can't go wrong with Vader.
And thanks!

I'm not a new here, but it is nice to be back...

Tyrannus!!!

Great to have you back.

Hello, I'm Von Jugel. Name has nothing to do with the band "Von". I'm 35 and from Chicago. I DJ sporadically when I get the chance. I used to post on Hellride under the name Major Briggs. I listen to a wide variety of music, but I'd say my focus for my collection is mostly on 70's and 80's stuff. Like to find out about new bands though, and that's why I'm here. I'll be sure to update my new buys on the Last Album Purchase thread. Nice to meet y'all!

This forum Is great! Hope i make it to veteran

Yeah, uh. You should stop posting in every threads with 1 sentence posts if you want to achieve this.

My name is Chris Rigby. I'm from New Zealand. I currently play bass and sing in Dying of the Light. I also do a blog called Subcide Webzine

I have come here to contribute

I've enjoyed reading this site's reviews for about a year or so now so i decided to finally join and help out a little with releases and stuff, join the community and basically give all my knowledge of metal. I'm a fan of most metal genres (mainly thrash), also dig most 80s & 90s alternative music.

Hello, Therizinosaur here. Been reading the site since just before 2.0 but only recently decided to register an account. My favorite genres of Metal are: Black, Viking, Doom, Power, Sludge, and Industrial, as well as some Death, Classic, Folk, and Progressive. I first got into Metal in 9th grade (currently in college) via Metallica, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, and things just took off from there.

My Favorite Metal Bands are as follows (subject to change):
1. Burzum (Hvis Lyset Tar Oss)
2. Nokturnal Mortum (Goat Horns)
3. Manowar (The Triumph of Steel)
4. Godflesh (Slavestate)
5. Pentagram (Day of Reckoning)
6. Machine Head (Unto the Locust)
7. Sigh (Hangman's Hymn)
8. Graveland (Following the Voice of Blood)
9. Sodom (In the Sign of Evil)
10. Judas Priest (Defenders of the Faith)
11. Katatonia (Dance of December Souls)
12. Kreator (Pleasure to Kill)

In addition to Metal, I like Progressive rock, Classical music, Classic rock, and some Industrial, Post-Punk, Ambient, Hardcore, and Jazz. My interests outside of music are tabletop gaming (collecting and playing), anime, Fantasy and Classic literature, classic sitcoms, paleontology, biology, history, mythology, physics, rationalism/skepticism, and most recently, linguistics. I personally hate math, chemistry, religion, art douchebags, New Age, Rap, western comics, sports, Modern Pop, Country, Dubstep (though I sometimes listen to it in a so-bad-it's-good way) and pretty much anything on the radio nowadays (save classic rock). I frequently visit this site, Wikipedia, TV Tropes, Cracked, RPG Net, Prog Archives, Youtube, and many anime/manga sites.

For the record, my person favorite all-time band is Jethro Tull.

Awesome. I absolutely love air hockey and I would love to own a table one day.


I don't mind Cracked but it gets tiring keeping up with all the new articles, at least for me.

Welcome to the forum, mate.

Thank you, MikeyC. But by tabletop gaming, I mean games such as Dungeons & Dragons, World of Darkness, GURPS, Warhammer 40,000, and Magic: The Gathering.

Oh, oops. Sorry. Well, I still want an air hockey table.

What's your favourite Warhammer 40k race?

I play only the RPG's right now (Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, etc., damn expensive minis >(), but I really enjoy the Necrons and Adeptus Mechanus.,

Have you ever played any of the RTS games?

Hello @ all, I'm a new member on here (obviously) and based in Germany. I mainly listen to Death Metal. Some of my favourite bands are:

Old school: Suffocation, Malevolent Creation, Immolation, Autopsy, Deceased, Monstrosity, Pungent Stench plus tons more...
New(er) school: Gorgasm, Guttural Secrete, Wormed, Defeated Sanity, Malignancy...you get the picture.

Aside from that, I listen to a lot of other stuff...too lazy to mention though atm.

I'm looking forward to posting here.

Cheers!

Welcome all! We seem to be running low on newcomers becoming regulars, so hopefully some of you will stick around and participate in discussions.

Stop scaring them and they might stay!

A blind ant is more scary than OOGBOOG. The newbies should be afraid of the right people!

Somebody like me. Pay your respects to Frizzy and you'll do alright around here.

lol, nope. You're scaring no one with your low post count!

What I lack in post count I make up for in spirit. :')

well, i'll be posting in this general forum community from now on so i thought i'd properly introduce myself. this epic interview says it all. i'm a metal journalist with a few books out and have been in a bunch of bands.

You also get AWESOME shows out there. Were you at the Martyrdoom fest last summer?

New guy here. I'm from New Orleans, LA, but in 5 days I'll be flying to Bristol UK to live with my 3 month old son, wife (who is originally from the UK), and 2 cats. Big changes in my life, so why not join the forum I've lurked on for awhile. I look forward to being more informed in my metal.
