      @neph93 Electric Wizard played at Maryland Deathfest back in 2012 I think it was. It had been their first appearance here in some time. It was in a bad part of Baltimore, outside in a parking lot under a highway. I kid you not, as soon as they started playing, it started thunderstorming and lightning. The played much of Funeralopolis. One of the most fun live shows I've been to.

      This thread has been busy and I love it. Once it is later in the day and I can crank some of these tunes, I'm sure I'll be enjoying my Saturday. Thanks folks, let's keep these coming.

          Not strictly punk, but heavily influenced by it. They are also my favourite band of the last 20 years so there’s that [emoji1]

          Contains the immortal verse:

          «All your favourite songs wouldn’t seem all that sad, if you weren’t so depressed.
          Elliot Smith seems like a mess to me,
          And you cry way too easily»

          And reference Lesley Gore’s «It’s my party (and I’ll cry if I want to)» at the end.

          Are the same that burn crosses”

                  I was actually kidding when I told you that. But I think maybe I only thought of that because you did. (Unless you where pulling my leg).

                          That's pretty cool @scooter I never saw anything cool like that on tv. Kinda reminds me of very early Husker Du…

                            If I had to pick only one album I could listen to for the rest of my life it'd be this one.

                              It's spring of 1981, I'm 12, and listening to bands like Styx, Triumph, and Van Halen. One day, a kid who lives on the next block tells my brother and I to come over and listen to a new album. Yes, vinyl. That day, things changed, forever. The first song…..

                                    Nothing like a bit of old school metal @scooter. If you fancy it check out an album by The Sword called Gods of the Earth. It was released in 2008 but they manage to pull off an amazing retro metal sound.

                                      …

                                      I always find it interesting to hear how people got into whatever their favourite genre of music is. In my case, as in yours, I discovered metal with a couple of friends in school. I was 9 when the Black Album was released but I never got beyond Metallica, Maiden, Megadeth and the likes until a friend lent me "Alive in Athens" in 1999 or 2000. I still enjoy their old stuff but for a number of reasons, not all related to the quality of the music, I've lost interest.

                                      Anyway, moving on from there these followed pretty quickly:


                                      Too bad they've become unlistenable in the last 15 years imo

                                      and many more since then

                                          Aaaah so many memories… I was given a copy of that OBITUARY "Cause of Death" on cassette at school by some rowdy metalheads who were a bit older... I was 10-11 then, but had been listening to Guns 'n Roses, AC/ DC, Iron Maiden and Metallica since I was 9... I remember the Black Album being released and being SUCH a disappointment, haha... Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice for All is all that mattered!.. Never was really able to get into say Megadeath, Anthrax, older metal, thrash, speed... Oh: and those older metalheads also gave me a porn mag which I honestly didn't know what to with, and hid it under a stack of magazines in my toilet... It took my dad precisely 10 minutes to find it, but he was amused more than anything else... (A couple of years later I found some of his old porn mags in my parents' bedroom...)

                                          Bit later I got introduced to punk/ crust... My sis, three years older, was dating some punk guy who sold me some CDs... I think the first reàl DIY album I had was RESIST "The Solution... Revolution!" (released in 1991)...

                                          Man there were so, so, so many tapes being exchanged back then... CDs were too expensive... I got into vinyl but only much later... Around 1997 or so we found some local distros and started ordering records... Sending cash in the mail, that's how it was back then... Sometimes even exchanging Belgian franks into pounds or zlotys to order at say Nic Nikt Nie Wie... And all without knowing what we were ordering, really... We only got internet at my house in 1999 or summat like that... I remember using old versions of Soulseek (still use slsk btw)... But yeah, before that, we just read the distro's catalogues and if they said "sounds like HIS HERO IS GONE" then I bought it... (That reminds me: I remember reading in a ~2000-2001 HaC zine that they had heard the TRAGEDY demo and it was way good... Why was this demo never released?..)

                                          I remember I had an old school "hifi" set-up, but the record player was broken, and sometimes I had to spin the thing myself and guess what was 33 or 45rpm... Couple that with my mate's double cassette's player dubbing  records at a slightly higher speed, and we later on saw bands live who significantly sounded different than we remembered them...

                                          Anyway... Went to a SHITload of gigs from 1998 to 2010... Even enjoyed the €uro P.A.E.S. movement (Pretty Average €uro Skram) with bands like LA QUIETE, RAEIN, SHIKARI, LOUISE CYPHRE, DAÏTRO... CRY ME A RIVER FEST 2006 (Bielefeld, Germany) being an absolute climax to that whole thing... Then I got more into Black Metal and now I'm old and blast PAYSAGE D'HIVER and SÜHNOPFER...
