Glad to have found so many people who like extreme, offbeat, or otherwise weird music as much as I do.

As far as black metal, this dude runs a black metal thread that you need in your life, but as far as the basics...
And if you're thinking Converge and Dillinger Escape Plan, then I and Mondo Bungle are your source for metalcore and mathcore. We know all the **** that isn't Killswitch Engage. I've got a thread for it in my signature. Just, here...

I'll definitely get around to as many of these as I can, which is probably all of them, within the next week or so. Thank you!

I also wanted to ask: since I plan to review a lot of albums, is it possible I can start a journal before accruing 100 posts? I already have two reviews published on a blog I own, and would be happy to post them in my journal.
Reviews of mine generally fall under three categories: new, classic, and—to use metal parlance—exhumed, their rotting flesh on display for all to see. As an example of the latter, one of my reviews concerns a weird dark folk and hardcore punk crossover album from 2007, with fewer than a thousand listens on Spotify.
Others reviews I plan to write include The Underground Youth's
Mademoiselle, a 2010 psych-pop album, and some 2017 releases: No Joy's
Creep, Mors Principium Est's
Embers of a Dying World, and Cloud Nothing's
Life Without Sound.
In addition, I might post the occasional article about music—theory, practice, industry, etc. I have this crazy idea brewing in my head about death metal, The Beatles, and Friedrich Nietzsche's writings on Greek tragedy. I also might tear into specific pop songs I dislike, post album rankings—you get the idea.
