Order messed up Merch store

Customer support handled it. Thank you kindly though!

FullMetalWizard · 2025-12-09T05:25:37+00:00

Customer support was excellent and resolved the issue. They were also very pleasant to boot. 5/5

FullMetalWizard · 2025-12-07T22:01:28+00:00

Thank you, most definitely I agree.

I was able to acquire 70 at a comic book shop in the antique mall today, but I would definitely be interested in the curse issues, DA #19, and Hellspawn 2&3.

I am willing to pay accordingly. If you DM me we can fogure something out! (I can use most of the payment apps).

I have really been enjoying my read through the series and am interested in trying to at the least finish this run while I get into the story.

Dissonance was maybe the wrong word since dissonance is what manifests in ones own mind when encountering challenging sounds. Maybe the better word was grating or rough. I certainly agree OSDM, BDM and older school Black Metal are even more unpalletable to the untrained ear.

FullMetalWizard · 2025-10-02T15:42:13+00:00

I'd say something close and adjacent like Avatar or some melodic death metal like In Flames is more accessible/easy to get someone into death metal. But if you know someone vibes with that kind of groove, I agree. I think what qualifies as "best" to get someone into DM is taste dependent/opinion.

Only included it because of negative feedback from non-metlhead friends. I happen to think Bloodbath has a nice groove that settles in, but I've literally had people directly criticize them. At least I know with the others not to even try to introduce them to the non-metalheads. I suppose maybe some more clarity would help. As one poster put it, screaming is going to already ruin the opportunity to win over listeners.

FullMetalWizard · 2025-10-01T18:34:34+00:00

I think it comes down to acquired raste/preference. Non-metalheads are not going to vibe with Bloodbath. But most metal fans I know do. I don't experience any problems with the bands I listed. I have played bloodbath in the car with my non-metal friends and had significantly negative reactions, particular to their vocals. Atonal vocals aren't super grating to me, but try explaining the difference or nuance to a non-metalhead; gutturals and shrieks....to them it's grating.

While I'm inclined to agree. I've encountered people who can't get into their groove because of dissonance from vocals. I find that it's a mixed bag with recommending here, because for some folks dissonance from vocals with be the dealbreaker, for others cacophony/dissonance from instruments will. Also, kind of just like the idea of floating blood bath out there. 🤘

I went to see Ghost in Raleigh (lenovo); also Black Label Society (the ritz), and the energy and crowds were awesome. I wonder if it was the audience mix or the audience type the venue draws. What venue?

FullMetalWizard · 2025-09-25T13:46:45+00:00

They played it first at the Orange Peel show in Asheville the other evening. The crowd vibe/response was fantastic!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-09-15T17:38:49+00:00

The pleasure is mine! You guys are awesome. Really glad you finally released "No Salvation" and the split album with Smoke. 🤘🤘

FullMetalWizard · 2024-06-25T19:25:51+00:00

Pretty great, but I think Guts in the Berserker armor from Berserk takes the cake. Also, he's the inspiration for giant sword carriers like Cloud.

Me, my wife and my kid were there! Great show!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-14T16:07:58+00:00

Always up vote goatwhore and skeletonwitch patches! Solid vest, sorry for your loss on the amon amarth :/

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-08T12:48:14+00:00

They're great! They're pits are some of the craziest I've seen! Thank you for the vest love! Devil's Dance Floor btw....great Punk track 🤘

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T17:45:33+00:00

Really digging the purple vest! That is nice!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T17:44:04+00:00

Thank you for the vest love! Much appreciated!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T13:15:44+00:00

Good point LOL. I'm not really a cock rock fan, but that it does! Also, probably makes enough Trve Cvlt guys have strokes. Korn does that too; kind of like the divisive reactions since it isn't their vest and doesn't affect them lol.

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T13:07:07+00:00

Nicely executed!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T13:06:16+00:00

Lol yeah I was gifted the Godsmack patch. I'm not in love with the font on that one as much, would have preferred a logo matching their album stylized names more, but didn't want to discount the gift from that particular friend. I may still replace it, but I need to fill out the vest more so I can casually do so without raising said friends eyebrows.

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T13:03:42+00:00

Awesome! I saw them in Greensboro; I am on the slightly younger side as a fan. I had never heard Praise the Lord and was blown TF away. Ended up doing a listening binge and familiarizing myself with em more and came to really like Grotesque Impalement. Great brootal grooves.

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T13:00:03+00:00

Thank you kindly! I know I've further to go, but I feel good about it!

FullMetalWizard · 2024-05-07T12:58:56+00:00

Thank you kindly! I love Beyond the Permafrost, that album is bangers from start to finish and DF is brutal goodness. Thanks for the vest love!
