I am a Minnesotan who lives near the Twin Cities. I got into metal music when I was about 5 or 6 years old, though I got into rock a bit earlier. I like all kinds of metal, except deathcore (with some exceptions) is absolutely terrible if you ask me. I mostly like underground metal but not only underground metal.
