since 2006 or 7 can't remember. I worked in a warehouse shipping and receiving motorcycle gear. It was mostly
Death Metal, and I didn't like most of it. Around 2009 I listened to some melodic industrial
Death Metal and melodic
Death Metal like
Sybreed and
Scar Symmetry, and was blown away. Not too long after that I took an interest in the whole wikipedia
Black Metal drama and got into the 2nd and 3rd wave of
Black Metal, and eventually took an interest in some of the newer regular death metal. It's now 2011 and I don't listen as much anymore but when I do it's usually black, black/death/thrash etc..
