I work with this Dutch guy. Speaks damn good cockney Englsh, lived in England for 5 years, and swears like a "bloody" god damn sailor. So he's always listening to American gangsta crap rap...even his cell phone ring is some pinner JayZ song...but instead of just outright ripping his music I decided to suggest something else. And to add an interesting twist I recommended, and even brought him a CD, by a Dutch melodic death metal band called Callenish Circle. He had never even heard of them and was shocked as shit that I had and on top of that...they were Dutch. I told him it took him a trip across the Atlantic from the Netherland to America to discover some good fucking Dutch metal.
As we were bullshitting another European guy I work with, from England, walks in jumps in the conversation. I know, I know...my job is like working at the UN or something. This guy's a little older though...late 30's with 2 kids and speaks "proper" English. He looks at the CD asks what kind of Dutch music. I tell him metal. He say "Well....what kind!?!?" I told him it was death metal. He says, "Well shit then...the Dutch are all bloody hairdressers and florists. You need to purchase some Carcass (he pronounced it Caw-cus
) if you wanna hear some real metal".
I was in shock. Somebody else I know listens (or use to listen to) death metal. Needless to say I've been listening to a lot of Carcass lately. I fucking love the sound of the guitars these guys have. Like a thousand chainsaws playing together in an underground parking garage. Fucking brutal and dark. I love it.
