Up to that point I’d never seen people outwardly booing and mocking an opener on such a high profile tour. “We hate you, go away” was heard echoing throughout the venue. And then Hatebreed (pre-Perseverance) came on and the place exploded. They saved the day, honestly. It seemed like an all out riot was about to erupt. I’m not exaggerating.

Great bands? oh, do you maybe mean bands like Motorhead, the godfathers of any metal genre that's heavier than straight heavy metal? Bands like Pentagram? Or god forbid, Black Sabbath?! Naaah, that can't be right Goddamn, these youtube music experts are something else. Yeah, yeah, I admit, I only dropped by to get triggered like a bitch, cause I'm bored, lonely and not high enough

That Firepower album from Judas Priest was a banger. It is one of their best albums. It doesn't break any molds but it is very well done.

I loved progenies of the great apocalypse. The whole album is awesome. Dimmu borgir says they’re not black metal, which I agree with. They have black metal elements, but aren’t solely black metal.
