I've got a Sleep album on vinyl somewheres in my dusty stack of shittily stored records.
I fucking love metal, especially when its not taking itself seriously and it's way the fuck over the top. I've played in punk bands since I was about 14 and the only place that would let us play for a really long time was this metal bar out in Spartanburg called "Ground Zero." I even worked there for a couple years as a bartender. In those two years, I worked 6 days a week averaging about 3 bands a night. 90% of those bands were fucking HORRIBLE metal.
One of my favorite horrible metal bands was this death metal band called "Lust of Decay". They were somewhat older redneck types. The singer had a fucking weird "prince valiant/betty page" haircut. Some of my favorite song titles they had were "Arachnid Anal Infection", "Crustacean Masturbation" and "Septic Tank Abortion."

Licking Bacterial EcstacyTheir drummer is fucking awesome.
Another death metal band from around here I sorta like is Nile. There was this storage shed facility that a whole bunch of local bands rented sheds in for practice space since the cops immediately show up if you ever try to play music anywhere near a neighborhood. Our shed was right next door to this band called Nile. They were fucking metal as SHIT. Only one of them, this guy named Karl, would come and hang out with us in our shed. He looks like a blond Danzig. One night he was telling us they had a tour coming up and they'd be gone for a while so he wanted us to kinda keep an eye on their shed. The next day I show up for practice and there's nowhere to park BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS HUGE ASS MOTHERFUCKING BUS BLOCKING EVERYTHING OFF. Turns out they're like the Beatles of death metal in Europe or something. They're just metal nerds over here.
Stuff is pretty cool, its like Egyptian style death.

The Blessed DeadA couple years ago, I went to go see my ex-singer's new band "The Last Van Zant" (here's one of them..can't really hear shit, but yeah
Motor) they opened for some touring band called "Municipal Waste." There was like 8 people there not including the bands. It was a Tuesday night and I wasn't really expecting much. Then Municipal Waste came on and I jizzed in my pants. This is fucking everything I love about metal. I LOVE THIS BAND AND LISTEN TO THEM EVERY DAY
