Any adult Dis'ers into Hardcore Metal?

[DisneyWitch]

Wow...I think I just found family.

Being older, and having come of age in Los Angeles in the late 1980's, I have been a metal fan for decades. Never grew out of it, and the running joke is that I'm the old broad who blasts Rob Zombie (or whatever is playing on the MP3 in the car) down the street.

Lately, I'm into a lot of symphonic metal and power metal from Europe: Edguy, Avantasia, Epica, Kamelot, Northern Kings, Sonata Arctica (love that man's voice), Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Dragonforce, Silentium, After Forever, Amon Amarth, Nightwish, old Stratovarius, and a lot others. Love the classics (Maiden, hair metal of all kinds, Extreme, etc.) as well. I'd give my eyeteeth to go to Wacken!

Oh, and did someone mention Laurie Cabot? My username and signature are not an accident, after all. <<grin & wink>> I haven't seen her in over 10 years, and was actually thinking of taking a little road trip up to Salem for Samhain or something. Would love to PM with folks who are...er...of that same theological persuasion!

Welcome!!! I love all those bands you have mentioned and I too blast them loud and proud!!!

I am actually seeing Kamelot and Leaves' Eye in Worcester Ma in September, I only mention it because you mentioned Salem so I wasn't sure if you were in MA or not

Salem for Samhain is insane!! there are always a ton of people most of which are obnoxious, yeah I'm a real people person LOL All kidding aside if you have never beeb I would reccomend visiting on the days around Samhain'
, but thats just my 2 cents

On that subject though the DW and I had a hand fasting ceremony for our wedding performed by a High Priestess. It was a beautiful ceremony and I even cane down to the circle if you will to Nymphetamine Fix by Cradle of Filth and my Wife came down to Blackmore's Night. Needless to say our oldschool Roman Catholic famalies had a shocked look on their faces the entire time LOL

When os your trip to WDW?

Color me Jealous, as Roy Khan (I think he's just "Khan" now) is one of my favorite singers!! I'm in Maryland, so I'm about 8 hours away (driving)... /sigh I'll have to look up the other band.

Love me some Blackmore's Night as well - I have all their stuff, and think Ritchie is absolutely in his element. As a HPS, I've done my share of handfasting over the years, as well. I'm sure yours was lovely! The DBF (also the HP) and I are both ex-Catholics, with strong German and Italian Catholic families. Totally sympathize with ya. If they only knew how much we had in common with them, I think they'd be less shocked!

When os your trip to WDW?

Me and the man are going in May 2011. If anyone here will be at WDW from May 17-24, we'd love to see about touching base!

Welcome to the Dis and the Metal thread and Blessed Be

Many thanks and Brightest Blessings to you as well!

I listen to all types of music, even classical. I could be listening to chopin and 5 minutes later put on megadeath. Get some odd looks from people when I do that. But metal is always at the top of list. Just replaced my Mushroomhead disc. I had it playing and my cousin stopped by, wanted to know who it was, and borrow it. He's only 17, easy to figure the disc was gone.

 

[SoScary'09]

OMG I remember MushroomheadXD Welcome Mel&Me!~<3

I actually like classical music too, Erik Satie being my all time favorite (people go 'eeeew' when I tell them that though)XDD

Welcome!!! I see you found our child-free thread too!

No worries about PMing- let it all hang out here! Ya know that whole crazy "freedom of religion" thang I would say I sway towards the earth based religion beliefs. For me, it's the only thing that makes sense. I went to Catholic school for 12 years- I consider myself a recovering Catholic

I am with you Metal- Samhain would be my least favorite time to be in Salem. There are other Wiccan holidays I would choose to visit. I have not yet been, but I would love to go sometime soon.

I could see all the idiots who don't actually have a clue what Samhain is all about converging on Salem b/c they think it's "oh so cool" to go on Halloween. ugh. Too obvious for me.

Yeah I agree as we are all brothers and sisters of Metal and Dis so i doubt we would report one another.
I too am a recovering Cath, my parents made me be an altar boy from the 4th grade thru confirmation..All because I started listening to Metal at 8 years old, my Father is still convinced it's just a phase and I almost 30!! LOL
If you do decide to visit Salem let us know we live just South of Boston so like an hour away from Salem It is a great place to visit, as is the rest of MA...Speaking of Salem in 2002 I saw Immortal and Manowar in a wicked small venue there it was the best show ever!!!

Totally OT! But I am SO stealing your Mickey "horns"!!
Where in the world did you find that!? It looks like a Facebook "Piece of flair".

That is exactly where I found it!!! Feel free what is mine is yours

BTW if you guys get a chance check out the song Metal Ripper by Sabaton...I love them but they aren't for everyone, having said that this song is definitely for every Brother and Sister of True Metal!! Blast it Loud and Proud!!!!!

 

[Br'erBriere]

Huge Children of Bodom fan here. Doesn't get much better than Bodom for me!

 

[BlueIrish]

im not just into metal but I do enjoy At the gates, children of bodom, older in flames and a bunch of others

Bodom are amazing indeed, Alexi is a guitar god!! Do you like Alexi's other band, Sinergy? I love their album "Suicide by My Side" easily one of the best Power Metal albums ever!

All of those bands are amazing!! I agree In Flames have definitly dropped off pver the past 5-7 years.

I love At The Gates, "Slaughter of the Soul" destroys life!!!

Speaking of Swedish Thrash, has anyone checked out the new Witchery album?? It is absolutely amazing!! Patrik Jensen (you may know him from The Haunted) absolutely brings it the entire album, not to mention American Thrash legend Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel) lends his talents on a track. Check it out and Blast it Loud and Proud!!!

I love Witchery. They were going to play a show at a moose lodge here a few years back but they stopped doing shows and cancelled all upcoming shows (something about fights, meanwhile the show I went to it was a bar patron that knocked out a 14 year old kid at the show).

 

[ripburn]

The only metal I like is Slipknot.

 

[maddhatir]

I gave a listen to the bands you are all discussing. They are not bands that I listen to- but I like to try new things.

I seem to like a more heavy sound- Morbid Angel, Carcass, Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Amon Amarth....

..... I tried! Keep the suggestions coming!

They were amazing when I saw them with In Flames and Megadeth Alexi's got a great voice too!~<3

Have you tried Blood Red Throne. I am anticipating their album as well as the new Enslaved album.
You might like One Man Army and the Undead Quartet, Bolt Thrower, Entombed, Malevolent Creation, Impaled... I don't know who that comment was directed at, but I love talking bands so I thought I'd throw some names into the hat.
