By the way, like me he seems a nut for low budget horror flicks

I appreciate the comment but to tell you the truth I barely listened to Metal from the early 90's for a good number of years and if you check my Last.FM and RYM, you will see that Metal only takes up about a quarter of what I listen to and very few Metal bands pass my way that are original enough to merit a second listen.
Because I don't really concentrate my listening to one particular genre anymore, there are a ton of bands that I can't possibly comment on because I don't know enough about them, so when I post about a band I want to be as knowledgeable about them as I can be before spewing my opinions.
This is why I only post in the Metal forum on a irregular basis. What knowledge I do have is usually about older bands that many are into or know well enough for me to not add anything of huge value.
I do like my Horror movies though but again very few Horror films merit me posting about these days because there is so much banality out there with Hollywood remaking the very films that were anathema to them 10 - 20 years ago. Just proves my point that those at the top wouldn't know a good film or album if it crapped gold in their lap even if just for a week.
