@ cookiecutter

yeah, the metal scene here is fine... there are a lot of good bands now, but still, bands here are hoping to get albums released internationally so that filipino metal get at least some recognition. Well, the primary problem is funds, but in terms of passion and dedication, it's always there...

And people here just order CDs through the internet or postal and just through trading... Lucky for you guys, you can get Metal CDs just around your corner...

Well, anyways, you can check out www.filipinometal.com

For Death Metal I recommend...

Barabbas
End this day
Faster than Satan
Sultan

2) Westport Island, Maine, USA

1- Andrew.

2- New Hope, Pennsylvania, USA.

3- Recs.

4- I've been listening to a lot of Symphony X, Nevermore and Sonata Arctica latley. Other than that I've been trying to mix it up.

5- I can't really answer this. I'm just not as much of a music junky as everyone else here, so albums don't tend to "impact" me all that much. Really, I wish I could have the appreciation for music that most of you guys have, though.

6- I'm big into comedy / acting / humor in general. I'm a pretty rabid Yankees fan.
 
1. Jim
2. Chicago, IL and Evanston, IL during the school year.
3. Originally came through the Opeth forum, but grew away from that. I think it's pretty intolerable now.
4. Leviathan, Deathspell Omega, Xasthur, and Drudkh are always at the top. Currently I'm playing Lurker of Chalice a lot.
5. Metallica - Master of Puppets
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Darkthrone - Panzerfaust
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Leviathan/Xasthur split
6. I guess I'm one of the many Illinoisans here. The Chicago area is huge, so there should be some representation, but it's sort of unusual that we have a few from downstate. I play drums for my band Night Harvest, and I like to try a lot of different beers and whiskies. This is my main hobby besides metal. I graduate from college in a year, and I have no idea what I'll be doing after that.
