Hey, I know you... from the Mastodon forum! Hi.

So, I'm the new guy around here. I've come to site before to look up new bands all the time, just thought I'd also go ahead and register for the forum....join in discussion, shit like that. Seems like a cool place to discuss all things metal, so why not.

See you guys around

Name: Mario

Student of Philosophy, Information Science and Economy.
Bass player in a progressive power metal band called Imperium.
Few of the first metal albums: Exhorder ''Slaughter In the Vatican'', Metallica ''...And Justice For All'', Iron Maiden ''Somewhere In Time'', Iron Maiden ''Killers'', Judas Priest ''Screaming For Vengeance'', Helloween ''Keeper of the Seven Keys I and II'', Sacred Reich ''The American Way'', Pantera ''Power Metal''...

Hello there ,as you see I am new here.
I am 27 and I work as a chef in a deluxe restaurant in athens.
Other things that intrest me besides music are martial arts(kali-jeet kune do)and horror films as I am a collector for years with more than 5000 films.
Hope will have a good time..

Damn all 5,000 are horror films?! I am an avid watcher myself. The only thing somewhat related to Greece I have is Lucio Fulci's 'The Eroticist' with Greek subtitles. Onto a side note, what are some good horror movies from your country?

60 some posts and I just noticed this.

Well, my name is Adam, I'm 20. You might be able to tell my favorite bands and metal genre by my screen name.

on the rare occassion I'm not listening to metal, I am watching movies or writing lyrics for my band that doesn't exist

If you mean the Philippino Kali, then it simply RULES! I did it for a few years, a decade and 20 kg ago, and it's really fun to train, if you enjoy swollen fingers and large bruises every once in a while. Much more fun than the few other Korean and such things I tried, absolutely recommended, although admittedly I was never very good at it. Remember, kids, unlike most things marketed as such, it really is a martial art, not a sport!

Also, cooking rules, as do horror films. BTW, it's time to put a pig's heart into the oven again, it's a nice way to gross out the women in the office tomorrow at lunchtime...

Hi.

I'm male, born 1985, and I guess the number one thing is music and two is not taking things too seriously. I can't play instruments though, I'm too lazy to try and learn. I started with listening to the 60's-70's progressive and heavy rock and also reggae, and I guess it was the turn of the millennium I slipped into metal, that seems to be my thing generally.

So, I haven't been into metal for very long, but I have at least taken a glance at some styles. I used to be into black, folk and industrial metal, but now it's mostly death, thrash and grind that does the trick.

Apart from listening to music I hang out with friends and try to enjoy life. I finished high school (or whatever corresponding), spent few months in the Defence Forces, quit that, now finishing the rest of it in civilian service. I guess I'm about to study more, I dunno. I own a dog and I live at my dad's place.

Well,not exactly all of them!but the majority is,at about 70% of them.
Here in greece unfortunately we dont have many horror films,to be precise there are about 3-4 pure horror films in our film history...but there are many horror related films such as crime thrillers.Check out some titles:

SINGAPORE SLING
RETURN OF THE BASTARDS
ISLAND OF DEATH
DEVILS MEN(starring peter cushing!)

You have a point here napero!!!!!Thats the reason I am obsessed with phillipino kali.

Hello from the capitol of California! I'm 20 and lookin for some action, any action will do. I like food, girls, and heavy metal thats all you need to know.

Hi. I'm male, student (double majoring in computer science/electrical engineering), and very new to metal, so bear with my noobishness for a while. Within a couple years after I finish my BS, I plan on emigrating from the US to either Quebec, France, Sweden, or Japan. I'm also an ex-Christian; atheist; anti-Christ.

StrypersArmy, is that Stryper as in the band? Haha.

Ok... I was supposed to post here first being that I'm a new guy and all, but in typical metal head fashion I fucked up, and posted on the main board! I just be quiet now.

hullo, dta drummer! I'm the resident pest here....

hey dta drummer, on dta's band site on the metal archives there is a photo, who are you on that photo?

didnt you say you were a fat chick?:puke:

Hello resident pest, and eveyone else. Thanx for the welcome. To answer the question about the picture I'm the one in the Amon Amarth shirt.

Hi..im a newbie as well. I hope nobody will bite me.

I just met a Yeti and had 'THE' most beautiful experience in my life.

Hi. =] My name's Victoria. I first got into metal about a year ago (to this month!). The first metal band I listened to was Dimmu Borgir, and they got me into the whole genre (especially black/symphonic metal). Since then, I have enjoyed many a metal band.

I've been a long-time visitor here, but I decided to register if I would ever feel like posting anything here.. I come from the Mayhem forum btw.

HI!

I am a recent poster here. Looks like a good place to hang out.

Hi my name is Scott aka Wind_Of_Knives. I've been listening to Metal for twenty years. I'm mostly interested in Black Metal. Well Kvlt BM. But also like anything loud. I also like to drink, a lot. Recently listening to Thralldom, Grim Reaper, and MANOWAR. Cool to be here.

Hey,my name's ThePizzaGuy and I'm 14,4 of those years plauged by my addiction to heavy metal.I don't play in a band or anything cool like that.

Current favorite bands:

posting my "hi i'm new"
so hi..i'm new..
i've been into metal for 12yrs now,what can i say i'm an old conservative metalhead and i like beer,i'm a little bit vulgar for a girl,i blame the fact that i've been haging out with metalheads for years
other than that i'm Canadian,i'm a royal bitch with huge knockers and i have a boyfriend and i'm a housewife..oddly enough LOL

Well uh.. yeah. I'm Australian. Been listening to Metal for.. big long time -_- I'm a guitar player.. I'm a singer/screamer.. and I fuckin love metal man, especially Aussie metal.

My dad's been a hell of a musician for all his life.. and he's in the music industry.

I'm currently working on a solo project recording shit with my computer.. it's called Hearse Driver.

Yeah. Any Questions?

Hi I'm new. I'm 14 and I've listened to metal for about 2 years. Favourite bands include Slayer, Metallica, and Children of Bodom. My username is not a reference to the band(s) of the same name. It was a sort-of inside joke from my math class.

Hi I'm a new guy, both to the genre and this site. I've listened to metal for about 6 months, love it and wouldn't have it any other way. My username DOES come from the short track on Black Label Society's Mafia album ( ) and Iron Maiden RULES!!!! (as does Black Label and several other of my favorite bands)

Hello newbs (heh, it's easier doing big blanket welcomes periodically)! Wow, a lot people new to metal. Listen, you have a limited scope of the metal world. Don't be afraid to see what's out there. Some of my favorite bands from 5 years ago are pretty far down my list now. Have fun at the boards!

Hi I'm new here
I'm political science student,
Play on drums(in GALIZIEN)
I'm also a member of a separatistic organization "GBS" (Galicyjskie Brygady Separatystyczne )

I'm a 22 year old redneck from Pittsburgh, PA. My favorite bands are probably Burzum, Nargaroth, Gorgoroth(early), Sort Vokter, Arghoslent, Impaled Nazarene, Destroyer 666, Moonblood, Silencer, Beherit and Iron Maiden. Those bands will change around from time to time, except for Burzum and Maiden.

Hello people

Greetings to all you n00bies. Be cool and avoid the banhammer.

No shit? I live about 2-3 hours north of there, in Warren. I've been living in Berlin for a year, but I'm going back to PA in a month.

even though, i´m a little daunted now ( i read the thread introduction), i can´t resist writing anyway.

i´m a 22 years old gÖrl from germany, and i´ve been listening to metal since i´ve been at the age of twelve.
started with iron m., jethro tull and co and now i´m into gothenburg and melodic death. yeah - blame me
what else so say? i´m a viola player. not a typical instrument for a melodic death metal band. might be the reason for only playing in a standard music-school orchestra beneath a lack of practice

and for being so honestly and cute - hug me

hi all, ive used this site for ages but never posted on here!
ive been a metal fan for about 3 years and played guitar for about a year. mainly into thrash but i like all kinds of metal!

hi everybody! I'm 16 years old and I live in Finland. I study in Tampereen lyseon Lukio (high school) and I listen to all good death/black/thrash metal and grindcore. Our school is fucked up. I'm propably only one who listens to metal in our school. It's so wrong

Hey guys and gals, my name is John, I'm 16 and i live in the the Chicago area. My favorite genre's of metal are Black, Thrash, and Death, though not as much as the other 2. I've been using the site for a few years now, just never became a registered member until recently. I like this trade-based setup where you can trade anything related to metal. I have a decent collection of shirts and cd's, so if anyone needs anything, feel free to ask if I have it.

Hmm, no metal newbie, but posting here for the first time.

M-R is down, and I don't know what to do!!!!

Haha, so give me a break, fellas.

Guess I'll hop in this thread and just say hey to all of yas, if Morri doesn't boot me out or something for wanting KISS on the Archives.

Sorry for not reading this sooner. I posted a recommendations thread in Metal Discussion, but after reading the list of recommended albums in each genre my thread seems very unnecessary. I've been visiting this site for a while and read the rules but hadn't seen a reason to look at this forum. It might not be a bad idea to post the list of recommended albums as a sticky in the Metal Discussion forum since it would cut back on the number of recommendation threads.

I don't normally do self-introductory posts as most of my website entries are quiet, but not many forums have a "H3y i'M n00 h3Я3 wHu55uP lulz" sticky, so I might not pass this opportunity up.

Hi. My name's Andrew but I prefer to be called Anders because it's more uh..."metal." I'm half-Australian, half-New Zealand, living in Melbourne Australia. I'm 16, studying Year 11 at school. I have a gorgeous girl named Shay who is nearly 18 and we're very much in love.

Metal-wise, I'm open to most genres of extreme metal, of course there's some bands I don't like, but i'm a pretty open guy when it comes to music. I also like some ambient, and occasionally a bit of rock.

Hobbywise, I like just chilling, BBQ, bourbon/rum & cokes, hanging with mates, being with my babe. Don't let my user-name fool you: I'm a pretty laid-back bloke with (I hope) an alright sense of humour. I drink socially, and don't smoke or take any other drugs.

My favourite band is Opeth, which never changes, but I do go through phases where I enjoy death metal (or black metal) more than the other, though I'm on a pretty massive black phase right now.

I can growl like a motherfucker and have been playing guitar for 5 and a half years. I have been into metal music for about 4 years. Currently got an offer for a band with some other guys but nothing certain yet, so I'm all for starting something with any other Melburnians on the board

That's about it really...
