AtlantaMetal

I’ve seen a lot of elitism in metal fan circles with regard to what metal should sound like and what’s acceptable to listen to. I have no interest in scene politics, and I’m trying to combat that sort of attitude by playing a variety of metal, from the really harsh noisy stuff to bands I hope are more approachable to those who aren’t yet metal devotees. Since taking over the metal show, I’ve moved away from cheese and gimmicks. For a long time, the show has been viewed as a joke, and I’m trying to turn that around. The power metal and fantasy metal stuff can be fun, but it’s not really my thing and it doesn’t fit tonally with the stuff I really want to play.
