I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

Underappreciated album. If you like this track at all give the full album a spin. It's worth your time.

The review I read of this kept saying it was "psychedelic death metal" so of course I had to check it out lol

What we get here is more of a mix of Swedish death metal with some hints of black metal, with a whole bunch of late 60s/early 70s prog and psychedelic rock all kind of mixed throughout!

In all honesty I listened to this album thinking it was just going to be a dumb gimmick that I'd turn off after a few tracks, but surprisingly it works magnificently! I've already listened to the whole thing twice since yesterday and I already want there to be more of this lol

I give it 5 out of 5 ancient evils risen from the deep 🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑

As a matter of fact, I liked it so much I'm going to give it a bonus Wizard and Dragon too 🧙‍♂️🐉
