Sauron was certainly a baptism of fire for me, and while I did not enjoy their music it was curiously satisfying to be listening to music I would not normally touch with a barge pole, if I had such an item.

I'm interested to see what comes up next. As you may have seen from both my review in "Bitesize" of "Headstones", and my request in the "Metal recommendations" thread, I'm beginning to warm to doom metal though, at least through Lake of Tears, and if you can point me in the direction of similar bands I'd appreciate it.

Oh yeah, and if it's too loud I'm too old? But I KNOW I'm too old (fifty next year) so that doesn't bother me. Loudness in and of itself doesn't turn me off totally --- like I said in the intro, I enjoy Motorhead --- but loudness without any sense of melody or direction does. Might as well just get a sledgehammer and start hitting my shed: that's not music. Well, not to me.

I may look at Slayer and Sepultura, meh, might, but I'm not necessarily looking to get into that subgenre, just interested to see what whatever I get thrown into sounds like. One cleaver remains my verdict, but we'll see who comes up next...
Well I'm going to be looking forward to reading your random metal reviews on here, it will be interesting to see which extreme bands you might actually like.
