Concerning Hardcore Death Metal...

For so long, I was against what many call "extreme" music. I considered it not only repulsing, but also an unvalid form of music.

And then I met two guys named Brad and Steadman. They eased me into the genre slowly. Starting off small with All That Remains, and the jazz. And then a little Born of Osiris was introduced. Now I find myself listening to bands such as Bring Me The Horizen, Job For A Cowboy, Behemoth, Despised Icon, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Not only am I listening to them, but they are actually taking up a large majority of my musical preferences. Its amazing.

Since then, I've picked up the vocal style in hopes of joining a band with my friends. I'm just so suprised how quickly I became interested in the genre. And I'm actually pretty decent at the whole screaming and growling. I'm utterly... shocked really.

So, in the future, be on the look out for me possibly coming around with a band with songs about Samurai, Spartans, and destroying humanity. All from a self-proclaimed Buddhist.

Cool... Cool...

In the meantime, give these songs a listen.

"Pray For Plagues" by Bring Me The Horizon
"What A Horrible Night To HAve A Curse" by The Black Dahlia Murder
"Knee Deep" by Job For A Cowboy
"Bow Down" by Born Of Osiris
"Decimate The Weak" by Winds Of Plague
"Tastes Like Kevin Bacon" by iwrestledabearonce
"Abyssal Creation" by Through The Eyes Of The Dead
"Bludgeoned To Death" by Suicide Silence

Consider these required listening to get what I'm saying. Believe me, you'll learn to like it. Before this, I listened to Hip Hop and acoustic indie almost exclusively.
