Quote:
Listen to all true metal, not just one genre... black, death, thrash, power, prog... if it's good, support it. Boycott the corporate shit that they shove down your throat.
If you listen to rap, rap-rock, hair bands (NOT METAL) or you take bands on MTV seriously, or you need religion to feel good (even cults) you should be destroyed.
