It's funny, among my small group of IRL metal friends, I'm the recommendations guy. Between Mondo Bungle, hip hop bunny hop, and a few others, I'm finding out about more quality acts than I have in a decade - kind of feel like I'm re-getting into the genre. Thanks a ton guys. My YouTube 'like' playlist has increased by a third since I came back to the boards.
A humble offering that no doubt many of you are familiar with: Abazagorath.

I feel these guys don't get the love these deserve. Their early demos and first record were a little more classic 2nd-wave, but on Sacraments of the Final Atrocity, they introduced more symphonic elements and even some punk-esque beats. Pretty evil stuff for a bunch of guys from New Jersey.
