About
Hey folks. I'm a 28 year old (obsessive) metal fan and Senior Reviewer for Metalunderground. Currently I work as a Braille Transcriber at The American Printing House for the Blind...The best perk of the job: I get to listen to metal while I transcribe. ;P
Off the clock I play a touch of bass, read and jog too much and in my spare time play some PS3 (the casual console for the recovering hardcore gamer).
I was listening to the likes of AC/DC, Sabbath, Van Halen and Aerosmith before I could walk. Around the time I was learning to write my name, an uncle had thought it wise (and probably funny) to introduce me to thrash. Through middle school and highschool I was as taken with Slayer, Pantera and Tool as I was by the grunge, alternative and nu-metal (yeah, I fell into that pit) movements. Just before college I had severed the rock-radio antenna and found Opeth, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Dimmu Borgir, Porcupine Tree and Isis flying beneath the signal. Since then I've been plumbing the depths, from popular-underground to outlandishly obscure.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Currently listening to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor, My Dying Bride, Carcass (I'm on a 90's kick).
Antigama, Mumakil, Agoraphobic Nosebleed (apparently a Relapse Records kick as well),
Longing For Dawn, Evoken, Funeral, Sunn 0))), Catacombs, (DOOOOOOM!!!)
and (a non-doom band with the term in their name) Novembers Doom...
a non-metal band that I've been revisiting is Glassjaw...."Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Silence" is -still- some crazed and bitter music.
