Hahaha, that was pretty good stuff. I grew up a metal head, but that genre is almost dead now. If you want some obscure METAL, and similar you need to get away from the commercial stuff...I helped out a friend hanging signs when work was slow back in 2008, and some kids worked for him were in a band called Mammatus, and I told him the music I liked was no longer made. He gave me some of their CD's and it was like Pink Floyd/Zeppelin/Ozzy all mixed into one. I started listening to obscure stuff and if you let you-tube play in the background some really good stuff comes up! Here are a few of my favorites since all the rock bands I grew up with are no more....except Ozzy
Enjoy!
