Death metal mainstream? What are you talking about? Just because it has a larger following than other extreme metal genres doesn’t make it mainstream. It’s still a very niche music genre. The only metal genre that attracts any mainstream attention is core Heavy Metal stuff and whatever Slipknot is.

We waltzed our way to their bus, with myself wearing the helmet. They got a kick out of it and all signed the helmet, answered questions about random nonsense we asked and just chilled for a bit. Cool dudes.

There are even videos on the very subject of exposing people to extreme metal for a reason. Just last week I introduced my uncle to harsh vocals. Trust me, I guarantee that at least a few people decided to check out AA after this clip and were shocked.

@@fullhazard1 It's true that lots of hockey players listen to rock. From my experience, they don't listen to extreme metal in large numbers (like society in general). I've been playing hockey and listening to metal for 30 years. I currently play hockey on Saturday morning and Tuesday night. We listen to music while we play. I'm usually the one who plays the music and I can tell you that if I played AA, the music would get shut off. Even the guys that I know listen to hard rock and some metal are taken aback by extreme metal and harsh vocals in particular. There was a time when another guy who I know listens to extreme metal accidentally put some metal core on his play list. When the song came on, most of the guys acted like aliens had landed in the building.

This is by far one of my favorite bands which is neck to neck with meshuggah. Amon Amarth for anyone that likes metal/Vikings/Thor type themes/history visuals with battles this bands lyrics are so perfect that with each song you can literally picture the theme and visualize yourself in the battle or prepping for battle and so on. Other bands are great of course but this one seriously has the gift of pulling you into each song. Black Birds Cry is one of my faves.

Most people that say Sweden is a muslim country are conspiracy nutjobs or just liars that try to justify their ideology. So no, Sweden is not a muslim country. We are a very secular nation.
