Once I smashed my head into the headstock of a guitar. The guitar player stepped backwards while I was head banging. “Raining Blood”…
First Metal album:
I got ‘Mutter’ by Rammstein and slipknot’s self titled album in the same time. Still like listening to those albums, but I’m not into nu-metal anymore. By that time I was 12 years old and started to develop my musical preferences, i think it got a bit of out hand…
