Me.

[Mauz]

Right let me introduce myself since im new here...
Im Mauz (Maurice), 16 yo and dutch... keep that in mind when u see any typo's .
Im a big metal fan and I'll tell u all abit bout my taste and how I got to this point...

I started with Limp Bizkit actually . I was quite a big fan or theirs. Then i started listening bands like Korn and Slipknot. Followed by bands a Mudvayne, Godsmack, Deftones, Tool, Static-X, Disturbed, Fear Factory etc. Yes... The Nü-Metal scene...

I however slowly moved towards Metalcore with bands like Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, 36 Crazyfirsts etc...

Then my atm current gf (now ex) introduced me to a band called Katatonia.. A Doom-Metal band.. Now this is probably a metal genre most of u aren't reli into... But i love it .
I switched to bands as Paradise Lost, Anathema, Cathedral, Draconian, Morphia and My Dying Bride. I also love Opeth and recently went to see them live ;D. Also death metal is something i love to listen to. Bands like Amon Amarth and Bloodbath are awesome.

I still listen to Metalcore sometimes but im mostly into doom and death metal...

Right... Now the part most off u will hate me for... Thrash metal. The funny thing is the name matches my opnion . Yes, trash. I don't like it. Bands as Children of Bodom, Iron Maiden and yes even Metallica... But that's just my opinion...

I hope you feel like u know something more about me. Well atleast my musical taste .

Greets Mauz.

Hey Mauz.

Firstly my friend welcome to the board hehe

Secondly call Metallica again and your ass is mine on Halo 2, hehe.
I don't really like the doom metal scene, the lyrics are all dark and rather pointless if you ask me since most doom metal bands actually don't mean what they say 80% of the time, although saying that most metal bands or rock bands etc don't mean what they say all the time anyway, confusing lol.

Katatonia however I have an exception for, theyre slightly different to that of the other doom metal bands you like in that they have pretty smart riffs.
I'm more in to the Metal side of stuff though so thats of course just my opinion, on which you can argue but i'm right so theres no point

[Mauz]

As you ofcourse would know all the other doom metal bands I named...

And I have to disargee with the lyrics part... I alot of doom metal bands who mean what they write. Ofcourse you shouldn't take all lyrics litterly. Most of Katatonia's songs are all about symbolic. And some just sounds cool. If we however look at metalcore bands... It all just sounds cool . Doesn't make the music bad tho .
