metal is my religion and Judas is my priest! My father was a 70s stoner so I was raised on the likes of Sabbath, Deep Purple and Jethro Tull (got to see them when I was 10 and sit on the stage, it was amazing).then moved onto the likes of WASP, Metallica, GnR, then the likes of hammerfall, rhapsody, nocturnal rites and amorphis.hit 18 during the rise of Nu Metal so was a big fan of Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed, Spineshank and the like. Then started listening to all sorts of stuff, Dimmu Borgir, Ministry, Tool, Blind Guardian, Clutch, Orange Goblin, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Hurt, Manowar. too many to mention I think, but needless to say anything vaguely rocky or metaly I will be listening to.In my best Boromir (lord of the rings) accent ' One does not simply listen to slayer without playing air drums'.
