GWAR
Cannibal Corpse
Morbid Angel
Death
Macabre
Napalm Death

Monstrosity
Malevolent Creation
Suffocation

i started high school in 2001 so i was dragged along with all my mates into the 'skater' scene so we listened to nirvana, metallica, cky and a few other bands but then i started getin into slayer and pantera and a lot more heavier stuff, then i discovered opeth, then eventually katatonia.

 

[MadTinus]

For me it basically started when I was in 2nd grade (January 1990), with:

- Iron Maiden
- Metallica
- Slayer
- Death
- Sepultura
- Obituary
- Napalm Death
- Flotsam and Jetsam...

 

[Katatonica]

[stefan86]

I still feel like i'm 15-16 in my head. that i'm 20 and supposed to be an adult and all that is totally distant. it's creepy really

 

[EvilVince]

To think that metalheads in high school now listen to Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium makes me want to kill. Wow!
