It was so painful for me. I couldn't wait for it to end. Then again I'm not big on power metal. But the lyrics were downright atrocious!

How did you get into metal Dweller? What were your gateway albums? It seems you dislike a lot of trad/power/doom metal and you mainly like black and death metal. Did you start with black metal?

Well my first metal band was Type O Negative (still my favorite), but other than that I didn't listen to much metal. BUT when I was in medical school I wanted something else to listen to while studying other than film scores, and that's when I discovered black metal. Theatres des Vampires was my first band methinks. It was perfect and pretty much the only extreme metal I listened to. Eventually I discovered the proto black metal bands and found they were similar to the proto death metal bands, and that's where my appreciation of death metal began. I actually got into death metal this year. Though I did also discover doom, death-doom, funeral doom and folk metal along the way. Oh wait, thrash! I discovered thrash thanks to Carnivore a while back and I've been enjoying the shit out of that genre lately. Never found a liking for trad doom tho but that may change. I bet I'll eventually get into power metal via Helloween or some shit. But yeah, that's my metal journey in a nutshell!

You're a doctor? What's that like? What do you specialise in? It was a career path I was once interested in. But after studying mathematics for my A Level, I knew that I wanted to do maths for my degree instead of medicine.
You favour black metal so heavily that I was wondering if that's what got you into metal. It's good though, black metal is obviously the best subgenre anyway.

I'm a hospitalist, which is a "subgenre" of internal medicine. It's great actually. I work 7 days on then I get 7 off. Sooo much free time. And on top of that I really enjoy what I do. I've always hated math haha, but we each have our calling. Cheers to black metal reigning supreme!

That Mysticum album is legit. Probably my favorite industrial black outing besides Neo Inferno 262s Hacking the Holy Code. Emyn Muil is also quite nice.
As much acclaim as I've heard about that album, I haven't met many black metal fans in real life that care for it that much. It's a shame, too.
