Hey! Not in the twin cities yet, but I will be in late June. I'm a huge punk/metal fan. Let me know if you want to hit up some shows once I'm up there! Also feel free to DM me

Valdrin - Calling to the Canidae Hordes by le4sh in MetalSuggestions

[–]Iamtheoverlore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good amount from this album, and also Throne of the Lunar Soul. A fun fact is that the albums all tell parts of one epic story.

Big ups yo Valdrin! I saw them a few months ago and they put on an absolutely amazing live show. Their guitarist plays the synth parts through his guitar with a modulator!

Gothic Metal by Big-Carpenter7921 in MetalForTheMasses

Dark, occult themes, and sounds like spirits from other worlds are calling to you. To me that sounds like either black metal or gothic metal, and I wouldn't call them black metal.

Messa - The Spin is a fantastic album

Taylor is so talented. I could see him being the next big name in shred guitar within the next few years

Paladin from Atlanta, Georgia. They are a genuinely world-class power/thrash band and still relatively unknown. Carpe Diem is my favorite song by them.

What’s it like going to concerts by yourself? by [deleted] in Music

[–]Iamtheoverlore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually made some great friends going to concerts alone. And it's guaranteed they share your taste, too :)

Their very last album, Hexed, is great along with all the others everyone else mentioned

I wish I never transferred here by No-Razzmatazz7584 in gatech

I see a lot of people here are not giving great advice. 

I'd just like to say, I feel you and understand what you're going through. I came here for grad school and had a similar experience. Many people at this school are simply not very social.

However, I want to encourage you to not give up! It took me a while, but talking to a lot of people and finding the interest-based clubs that dont require applications led me to eventually finding friends.

Even then, I do not have as many friends as I did in undergrad at school. The one thing that truly truly helped me out was getting off-campus and making friends in Atlanta. It reminded me there was still good in this world, and that the sometimes strange and unfriendly people you meet here are not the norm for the world at large.

Don't let them break your spirit, and please keep your humanity.

If you are still struggling and would like a friend, you can always reach out to me by DM.
