Wow ... other people know Strato, Arch Enemy, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth and Children of Bodom!? I thought I was alone!

Not only are you not alone, but there are many, many more of us out there. Don't let our appearances fool you. Just because we look like mild mannered office workers during the day doesn't mean we don't piss off our neighbors every night.

I knew there were people my age (38) that were stuck in the past (1988) who still listened to the old stuff ... didn't know there were so many who listened to current acts (not "nu" metal, either) ... the stuff u haveta buy on the internet :)

How do I save off this whole thread? There's a lot of great music here that I need to keep a list of in case my budget ever allows for extensive recording purchasing again.

Count me in as another Strato/IE/DT/CoB/etc fan! You'd be surprised how many of us there are!

Check out Frost Like Ashes... one of my favorite new bands. I got my copy on Amazon, I think they're still there. You have to get past the horrorshow crap, but they're pretty freakin' brutal.
