i'm tyler. i'm 17 years old. i like almost all genres of metal, but mostly anything melodic will get me going. i'm not going to list my favorite bands, as that would take forever.

My name is Tyler, I'm 15, I love metal, especially Death and Thrash, and uhh...what else is thre to say...? I'm an aspiring guitarist and Dimebag Darrell is my idol...so...yeah, hi.

Your name is too similar to mine. Either change it or stop being a Panterrible fanboy.

Ya I'm new here. I was referedby a member here... Metalhead_86, he tells me he's more or less a lurker but this is a good forum. So that's why I'm here.

I'm 19 from New Jersey, USA. And ya my big influences are Pantera, Testament, Megadeth and Metallica.

So I'm gonna go look around. later dudes.

Uhh...hi? I'm new, so I thought I'd join in the fun of making a newbie post thing.


My name is Jenny, I'm 17 and I live in California.

Some of my favorite bands include Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy..etc.

Hi there metallions! I greet all you morbid speed thrashers that enjoy the brutality of traditional heavy fucking metal!

I'm Chris (21) from Austria, where (sad but true) traditional metal is non-existent nowadays (Thank you, Mallcore-Monkeys!)

I excuse my weak knowledge of the English language... but sometimes Germanic English even rules: AUSGEBOMBT! Sodom ist Krieg!

here's a short list of some personal all-time favs:

Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Blind Guardian - Battalions Of Fear
Helloween - Walls Of Jericho
Running Wild - Branded and Exiled
Stormwarrior - Stormwarrior
Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Exodus - Bonded By Blood

...and there's much more of course.

Stay heavy!

METAL FOR EVER.

Have you heard "Reflexion Beyond Boundries" off their '95 debut? Great brooding darkwave. If all the songs of the genre were like that, I'd be a bigger fan of it.

There're some bands from the semi-obscure corners of the realm to have heard for a limited experience with metal.



I actually thought she was being hilariously sarcastic with this one, but it seems this is an actual band (!?). Wish I would've thought of a name like that.

Welcome everyone ! Special greeting to METALBLOOD, for Liking old school stuff and to whoever mentioned Deathwish and Hexx.

hey... my name's rob, i'm 19, and i currently reside near chapel hill, north carolina. been listening to metal for a few years now, mostly enjoying death metal and nwobhm/trad. stuff, although my taste in music is rather eclectic. i've been browsing this site for a long time now and finally decided to post consistantly.

a few metal favorites:

sodom, iron maiden, motörhead, anthem, razor, venom, infernal dominion, malevolent creation, septic flesh, mercyful fate, etc...

non metal: boston, the police, praying mantis (nwobhm in my opinion, but the archives say otherwise), three 6 mafia, the cure

Hi, I'm K.J. Foogaodshi, I'm a black african Somalian guy that enjoys Opeth, Pantera, Dark Angel, Vio-lence, Dying Fetus and Cannibal Corpse and being black.

I am Pat and i like Metal. Every aspect of metal. Every band of metal. Metal is my way of life.

How exactly do Dark Angel and Vio-lence fit in there?

(this guy was being sarcastic, so don't reply to this saying "THE GUY LIKESS DIFFRINT KINDS OF MUSIK LEEVE HIM ALONE")

i m newbie well i m not going to reveal my name.my fav band is ancient rites,gorgoroth,emperor,and all black metal bands

Hey everyone, I'm Katrina. I don't know why, but I haven't really gotten around to posting on this forum (haha, look at the date I joined). Anyway, I really like metal (mostly old school stuff, thrash, power, melodic death, etc etc) and a little bit of classical music.

I go by Evil ( how cliche but its been an online moniker for years now ), 18, and I mainly listen to thrash, death, and black metal. My current favorite bands ( or just the bands I happen to be listening to a lot this week ) are Kreator, Carpathian Forest, Slayer, Judas Iscariot, Evil Incarnate ( I have to note that I picked this user name before I knew there was a band Evil Incarnate ), and Bloodthorn.

Hi, my name is Frank.

Some of my favorite bands are Slayer, Iron Maiden, Susperia, Death, Exodus, Testament, Dream Theater, King Diamond, Hate Eternal, and Nile.

My favorite metal genre is thrash, but I dig all types of metal.

I've used this site for a few years now, and I finally decided to starting posting on the board.

Greetings.

I'd say my name, but that would be redundant. I'm 17 and live in Pennsylvania in the United States. Just got into music in general about a year ago and metal a few months after that. Besides metal, I also enjoy Industrial, Electronic, Rock, Noise, and a few other things. I despise country music and hipsters.

This is an excellent site and has lead to many enjoyable discoveries.

I'm more of the lurker type, so I probably won't post much. Just thought I would check in and introduce myself.

\m/ Hail \m/

You can call me Shattered or ShatterMoon or whatever you can come up with that relates to my name I guess Some of my favorite bands include: Opeth, Amon Amarth, Megadeth, and Immortal. I love bands that have chosen Norse Mythology as their lyrical basis. I also really like bands that are unique and use many forms of metal in their music.

Hello to all of the new blood.

Lurking, as Scapegoat said he'll do, is a very sound strategy to adopt until you get a feel for the place.

Hello, my name is Nima.
I'm from Stockholm, Sweden and are 16 years old.
I love for Heavy Metal and music is my life.
I play guitar in a Heavy Glam band called Blood Spirit (check out our lame web site at; http://www.bloodspirit.tk ).
I started listening to Metal thanks to "Rock You Like A Hurricane", i was blown away by THAT riff and the shredding guitar solos, and the next song on the record was "Living After Midnigth", and when i started to sing along to thoose two songs, i knew what music to listen to.
Soon i bougth my first real Heavy Metal album, "Brittish Steel" by Priest.
When i was 13 years old, i listen only to Iron Maiden.
When i was 14, the day i started in 8 grade, i stood in a record store looking at two albums, the first W.A.S.P. record and "Shout At The Devil". I picked up the W.A.S.P. album 'cause it was cheaper, but i didn't really liked it from the begining.
I rember thinkin about selling it, so the nigth before i was going to sell it i thougth i would listen to it for the last time as a "good bye". Then i realised how good W.A.S.P. was.
In January the year after, i finally got a copy of "Shout At The Devil".
It blew me away, i listened to it every day and soon had all of Mötley's 80's albums.

My favourite bands are:
Mötley Crüe
Judas Priest
Quiet Riot
W.A.S.P.
The Scorpions

and other favourties are:
Ratt
L.A. Guns
Dio
Whitesnake
Ozzy Osbourne
Van Halen
Great White
Saxon
Whitesnake
Steeler (both the Yngwie and the Axel)
Anthrax
Aerosmith
Testament
Kiss
The Sweet
Megadeth
Deep Purple

and actually, i like Cheap Trick and Billy Idol(thanks to Steve Stevens). so don't ban me for that, please!

Hey, I like this kid already.

Hell yeah, hair metal for life. Love that stuff.

Glam metal is gay but that guy seems a lot cooler than the pompous "EXTREME METAL ONLY" elitists.
