Greetings. I am DarkFifl.
This is my first day on this message board for posting. Although I've been reading all week. I've been really impressed.
I am knew to the metal world. Although I've always listened to harder rock like Tool, Megadeath, Metallica (my like for metallica is falling fast), and Rammstien. Also some older bands like Boston and Kansas.
I was just in a Combat Zone with the U.S. Infantry. I can't say exactly where. But the whole time I was there, gunning in a humvee, my commander was blasting metal in the humvee. At first I wasn't used to the growling voices and it kind of annoyed me. I don't even know how he could hear the radio over it and the weapons fire. After awhile I started to get used to it and then one day he popped in an Opeth CD and I was like Holy shit this is amazing stuff. Over the next 2 months I began to love and get so into the music. What we did see of combat stopped mattering. My fears were gone and I could just do my job without really thinking. It was like focused rage.
Since we got back last week I have been searching all over the local music stores here in Germany. It is very limited since my base is out in the middle of no where but I've found a few Opeth CDs and a Therion CD. Its all I listen to anymore.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any other bands that I should start listening to and hopefully I will be able to find them. I am so glad this new world has opened to me, I believe it saved my life.
