I really liked ATG long ago when I first heard it so it sticks with me. Even if a wave of shitty bands came after I still like the stuff I first heard, and the vocals are different but I don't mind them so much.
I'm going to see Dark Tranquillity, Omnium Gatherum and Exmortus this weekend. I got some VIP tickets to meet the band (DT) and get a signed poster. It's going to be awesome. I don't even know how many Dark Tranquillity fans are on this board but I absolutely fucking love that band, every album just nails it with me.
As a bonus since I've been growing my hair/beard I should be able to headbang again!! Awww yeaaahhh
