I dislike the association of metal with carnage only.. I've a few friends here that love metal, but they prefer the local bands over everything (not bashing local bands here) or maybe not even local as in around here. But small bands in general who haven't had big fame. But if I ever look at the sites of any of their bands or things for their myspace things it's got blood and core and chains... And that's the only thing on the entire page pretty much. They'll have band members photoshopped in somehow with blood and cuts and bones... I dunno, just seems dumb to me.
