When Swank Magazine wrote about black metal back in '99 or 2000 I knew it was gonna be huge sooner or later, but those days when it was still new were to me as exciting as finding crust and death metal in the very early 90's. Great story, man, very very reminiscent of my own. It's funny how people so geographically removed walk similar paths without even knowing it.

Yeah, man. I think it's an age thing. Being a music nerd back then meant getting out of the house and working to discover shit. So you appreciated it more because of the process. These days being a "music nerd" means someone who sits on Twitter and gets mp3s from friends. It's just odd to me. But yeah, I think a lot of us our age discovered music in a similar fashion because that was really the only viable option. And I'm just glad I came up that way...

Hey Myke. I enjoyed your storytelling on this and your perspective as you look back on the past. Your music taste is very diverse in comparison to most people and it’s nice you actually have knowledge to back a bit of it up. I went to Metal after the punk scene as well for a period so I can relate to the feeling of just discovering an entirely new genre and being infatuated by it. A lot of trite nonsense involved before the internet era actually ended up making the listen much more worth it. Thanks for sharing :) Xoxo~ Guila

This reminds me of when I got Final Fantasy 7 Dirge Of Cerberus for the PS2. Gackt did the song for the game ( Redemption ) and I thought it was so different than Three Days Grace and Slipknot and the music I was listening to as a kid. I didn't have internet at the time, it was like a shard from a different dimension. You bet your ass years later when I got internet I looked up Gackt, his previous band Malice Mizer, their forefathers in X Japan and Luna Sea. I was drowning in the stuff man it was so cool. So different from the american music that I heard on the radio and the metal on Guitar Hero. I was discovering Anime from bands that did openings for their songs instead of vice versa haha. Their aesthetic in fashion was amazing to me as well.

Been in to metal my whole life (as well as basically every other kind of music) And I remember the original 2nd wave of Black Metal hitting Ireland around 91 or 92 while I was in college. But I had my Faith No More, my Metallica, my Slayer, my Alice in Chains and my Pantera and I just thought this other stuff was too extreme (but I did try to listen to Death Metal and Grindcore a little bit) But along came the internet and youtube and about 12 years ago after looking at a lot of Sabbath videos I got a recommendation for Opeth's "Porcelain Heart" and I gave it a listen and I got utterly hooked and then I started needing that same type of atmosphere (but somehow MORE) and so I started trawling backwards in to the Black Metal world and I've been hooked ever since. Spotify play lists and KZitem are my main sources of finding new and old stuff. Then I try to find the CD's in the handful of music shops remaining in Dublin (I'll probably start buying stuff from bandcamp I guess.

The thing that attracted me to metal is the power. A lot of people talk about the aggression in metal. Aggression is definitely there, but to me there's just this power in metal that inspires me. It's grounding. I can listen to and enjoy a lot of different music for various reasons but nothing makes me feel as confident and grounded as metal. I can walk through the city and feel engaged and in the moment listening to Rush or Björk or whatever, but only metal makes me feel like the king of my own fucking life. Very cool video, dude.

If you are like myke than you will be on the internet going to the 30th page of Google search results, clicking links that take you to obscure websites, no one is talking about and discovering music no one you know is even aware of, you would be going to random shows you found out about on the internet just for the fuck of it.

I know this video is 3 years old but I wanted to share my experience. The first album I ever bought was 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day (my favorite band of all time). This lead me to discovering alt rock and punk bands such as Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, The Offspring, and Rise Against (my 2nd favorite band of all time). I had heard the hits of Black Sabbath and Metallica but the first heavy music I really got into was Linkin Park and then Disturbed. This was the type of heavy music that I listened to for a long time. Then in the past year I got into a big musical deep dive on KZitem that went like this: Deftones -> Parkway Drive -> PunkRockMBA video about Deathcore -> PunkRockMBA video about Suicide Silence -> Suicide Silence -> videos about the history of Death Metal -> Death -> videos about the history of Black Metal -> Bathory -> Darkthrone -> Dissection -> Thy Catafalque. Kind of a weird progression but it's how I got to a place where I am exited to check out extreme metal bands I have not heard before.

At first when I was younger (maybe around 13) I was mainly listening to classic rock, stuff like Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Floyd, etc... A little after that is when I slowly started listening to more Sabbath and Maiden and I honestly didn't look any further than that for a long long time. I knew who Metallica was and Anthrax and Judas Priest, Motorhead, etc. but none of those bands really got me hooked on metal. Fast forward to about age 19 or 20, that's when I FINALLY started listening to stuff like Misfits, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Adolescents, Discharge, Suicidal Tendencies and all the classic hardcore bands. That's when I realized I felt the connection with heavier music. During this same time I was heavily getting into Slayer and even some crossover stuff like Cro-Mags. But I think Slayer was the first thrash band and metal band in general that I really really became obsessed with, and I think it took me so long to warm up to most metal just because I didn't understand and take to the vocals. After only listening to just Slayer for a while, my old manager who was a serious metalhead would just play music when we'd be closing at work. One night he showed me Death, specifically Pull The Plug... I was absolutely captivated and it was the very first time I heard vocals that heavy that I actually enjoyed it, not long after I became obsessed. I eventually checked out stuff like Morbid Angel, Possessed, Sodom and was totally enthralled. Then came Black Metal a couple months after taking to Death Metal. I heard Jesus Tod by Burzum and became even more obsessed with metal as a whole, obviously checking out bands like Darkthrone, Mayhem, Bathory, Sarcofago, Beherit and Immortal feeding my obsession. I'm only 22 now so my discovery of all this music is still very fresh and it's all still fairly new to me and think Black Metal has become my favorite sub-genre at this point in time. Love the video Myke, it's always interesting hearing peoples entry points into extreme music because they're always so different!

I started listening to the big metal bands like Metallica and Maiden because of friends I had in school and I remember being blown away by it cause when you're a 13 year old suburban white kid metal is something entirely new. And so over the years I started floating between thrash, punk, hardcore, and orchestral metal and then I just kinda stopped listening to metal entirely. I started listening to more hip hop and rap (granted still not very good stuff as I was an angsty teenager) but within the last couple of years I started doing a deep dive into other genres like industrial and goth which led me to really enjoying black metal and doom metal. My close friend showed me My Dying Bride a couple months back and that was just the perfect mix of goth vocals and styling with the slam of metal that I loved. And I think there is a huge benefit to the internet for discovering music as without it I wouldn't have heard of stoner metal groups like Sleep and Dopesmoker or black metal groups. Overall I'm a huge fan myke and this video was really cool to seeing the shit behind finding music back in the day

I got into black metal around 1998 after ordering some Mortician vinyl eps from relapse records. The pack my vinyl was in was stamped with ads for Mayhem's wolf layer abyss. I was like who are these guys. Gotta say at first the corpse paint turned me off. I thought it looked silly but man music wise I loved the raspy vocals and tremelo picking. From there I picked up the Emperor/Enslaved split on cassette, Satyricon's Rebel Extravaganza, Mortiis' Crypt of the Wizard, Cradle of Filth's Cruelty and the Beast, and bought Rotting Christ's Triarchy of Lost Lovers and Thy Mighty Contract used. Also being on a college campus with awesome Ethernet speed and Napster was still legal at the time I downloaded bootlegs of Burzum mp3s and Sigh mp3s since that stuff was incredibly hard to find. It was the time of sending money orders for imports and hoping your CD would arrive.

The first bands I ever really got into were Gorillaz, The White Stripes, and My Chemical Romance, all of whom I still enjoy, but they didn't have much to do with me getting into metal. Then, one day, my sister burned me a ton of CD's. Like, the discographies of Nirvana, Dead Kennedys, RATM. The heavier aspects of those bands as well as the politics of the latter two got me into System of a Down. The heaviness of SOAD was like nothing I'd ever really heard before, and I immediately got immersed in metal. I started listening to Metallica, which led to Slayer, which led to Pantera. But at the same time, I was getting into Tool which led to me finding Opeth and Between the Buried and Me. Both of them helped me get into death metal and more into prog metal, while BTBAM helped me find Converge. Most importantly, though, the folky aspects of Opeth made me discover Agalloch, which was a huge revelation for me. Before Agalloch, I thought black metal was the dumbest shit ever, but now it's by far my favorite genre. This happened in the span of like two years. By freshman year of high school I was listening to all the black, death, thrash, prog, and doom metal I could get my hands on. There's a lot of bands I'm leaving out, including tons of stuff from other genres that I was exploring. Either way, metal has been my main musical passion since then.

Are you into electronic music like deep house or techno or anything along those lines? I think I’ve heard you say in other videos that you used to go to electronic music clubs in the 90s but I could be mistaken but I would like to hear how you got into that genre if you ever did

WOuld you classify groove metal as extreme metal? Like Fear Factory, Cavalera conspiracy?

I wouldn't really. I mean relative to the broader world of music it's definitely extremer music. But I think groove by definition is something that doesn't fit into the more extreme genres (exceptions apply). Think extremely fast tempos, undiscernible lyrics, ''taboo'' lyrical themes, repetitive riffing, lack of classic song structure. A lot of the heavier punk stuff like Minor Threat and Exploited actually have a lot in common with the earlier sound of extreme metal. Swap the vocals and some chords and you pretty much have early Celtic Frost haha.

Have you heard the new Zeal & Ardor album. I feel in a lot it’s fighting back against the racist subculture within the black metal scene.

My story is lame as fuck. The only music I listened to was my brothers compilations of Latin Pop and some Pop Punk. I found metal through Guitar Hero 2.

Was this the Cradle of Filth comp you heard? www.discogs.com/Various-Death-Is-Just-The-Beginning-III/release/5199379 As for myself; discovered extreme metal by stumbling across Dimmu Borgir on my friends Mp3 library in the summer 0f 2005. Been hocked ever since.

Using the term extreme metal is the first sign your shit isn't extreme at all. And I was right again. Talking about BM mentioning cradle of filth holy shit. Extreme metal basically means "I want to believe that I listen to extreme shit while basically hiding the fact that it's mainly just mainstream melodic death/black metal and if I used a specific genre I had to realize that nothing I mean with by "extreme" is actually part of any underground genre by definition". Extreme metal is anything normies find extreme without digging deeper and without really exploring the stuff beyond death faux grind and black metal. Heartwork. God please no. Disgorge, Brodequin, Devourment, Putridity, Pustulated, Cerebral Effusion. These are extreme.

@@SeaOfVomit So you basically got a "no u" disguised as some ad hominem cliche tag without bands to compare, arguments or reasons for saying so. Go on listening to your blackened-melo-death-normie-shit telling yourself it's extreme and everyone who has standards beyond yours and doesn't stop at some banger tv mentioned normie bands is some fedora sporting elitist. If it's helping your cognitive dissonance go on shifting the blame for your self inflicted inferiority on everyone else who isn't a fucking pleb ass pussy.
