Thanks for the input! I consider myself to be a fringe listener. Began with the standard hair metal phase and then ventured into Thrash. Metallica, Anthrax & Slayer, etc. After that I turned into an Alternative & Indie rock kid and have pretty much stayed the course. Over the last 10 years or so, I’ve listened to Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, Behemoth, Amon Amarth and The Black Dahlia Murder. My plan for 2021 is to challenge myself to give 3 genres that I don’t listen to a lot of and just immerse myself for at least 2 months, maybe 3. My main worry with any genre is the too many bands sound the same syndrome. So besides the new releases, if there are any must listen to albums, feel free to post!
Even though I’m not a traditional metal head, I’ve always respected the movement and the fans. Cheers
