cant believe I missed this thread for so long!

But yeah this kind of music is an acquired taste. Personally I believe it is for people that have been listening to normal metal for a while but just need something more harcore. What turns most people off is the growls/screaming. I really dont know how to explain it but it just gives the song the emotion and personality it needs.

But I love The Number Twelve Likes You and A Job For a Cowboy(these guys are waaay hardcore)

And the double kick drums are sooo f'ng intense when you are blazed!!!!!
