Me and my friend Levi were at his house, we were in the basement with his brother looking at his fathers shotguns and reading his porn magazines. Levi showed me this album that his father had. The cover fascinated me, it looked so chilling to me at the tender age of nine. I suggested we go upstairs and listen to it. I was amazed beyond belief. I was hooked once I heard the ominous sounding intro to 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'. I have never been the same since that day...

I was sitting on my couch with my dad, watching King Of The Hill, and in a flashback the show had Iron Man playing in the background. I asked my dad what the song was and who it was by, which led to him putting on the Paranoid album by Black Sabbath, thus hooking me onto metal forever. At first I only liked old 70s and 80s metal, but I've slowly been getting into heavier and heavier stuff.

I ended up buying Death, Kreator, Sepultura, Obituary, Sodom, and afew other bands albums. I was instantly floored when I got home and turned on Death. All i remember is thinking to myself "Holy fucking shit I want to do this" Somewhere along the line i bought a guitar and learned Every riff i could off Scream bloody gore and Pleasure to Kill.
