I listen to what I would like to think is a rather diverse range of music, and can (or at least, try) to find something of merit in nearly everything I listen to. Sadly, I live in a region where metal is treated almost like a poison. At the tender age of twelve, I came into possession of Metallica's infamous Black album, and however odd it seems, my love of metal was born. After becoming aware of this amazing genre, I came into contact with bands like Symphony X and Sonata Arctica. I really owe my love of metal to those bands, and am particularly fond of them. However, after searching the Interwebs and finding amazing sites like these, I've found and listened to several genres I never even knew existed! I'm also an aspiring metal singer, and am working on several different projects, none of which are working out right now :). The simply staggering amount of metal out there seems to grow everyday, and I love being in the middle of it!
