People were definitely harsher and more willing to speak their minds, that's for sure. Today's UM is a metal safe space in comparison, lol. Back then you would be fucking crucified by everyone if you even remotely liked a band like Pantera or CoB. I dont even think that the "in-crowd" that HBB refers to is even relevant to UM anymore. Lately it is more of a trad/doom circle jerk, but I dont get quite the same elitist vibe as I did from this place years ago.
What the fuck kind of name is Gallantry over Docility, lmao
i think there was a story behind that but i don't remember what it was lol. i was guardian of darkness originally
