I'm basically a music addict that was drawn to metal because of its heaviness, authenticity and complexity. Other than metal my favorite genres of music are Prog and Classic rock, Classical and Jazz. I like pretty much everything in music other than rap pop country and 99.9% of modern rock. Other than that i'm a gaming and anime addict as well as a huge history buff. I also need to get into more thrash and traditional heavy metal. Oh, I also have a penchant for puttimg myself through [musical]torture to get to bash it later.
