Yes definitely into metal. But I like a lot of the christian metal/hardcore bands out there today, such as Inhale Exhale, Demon Hunter, and August Burns Red. I am not going to mayhem fest, but my friend went last time and saw UnderOath and said it was awesome. _________________ Travis LaRiviere

I won't be heading out to Mayhem this year (although Shannon will be serving alcohol for fundraising on the event). But yes - I'm a HUGE Metal Fan!
Big on Killswitch Engage, Opeth, Lamb of God, Silent Civilian, Black Dahlia Murder, Slipknot, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, In Flames, Trivium, etc.
Screaminman11, great to hear you're into the Christian metal scene. I've been listening to those bands for years... I loved Living Sacrifice, Mortification, old Embodyment (now the Famine), Crimson Thorn, Extol, etc. Plus like you mentioned all the new Solid State bands like Demon Hunter, August Burns Red (Messengers was AMAZING!!), etc.
The Christian bands I've been really into for the last couple of years are Becoming the Archetype, The Showdown, Woe of Tyrants... as mentioned before the Famine is a must! I’m a “real” sucker for Melodic Death Metal!!
Ok Doug now you just really hit the spot with all that. Seems that we are on the same page with just about everything, from theme parks...to metal music? HAHA that is freaking awesome!. Now you have to be on one of my shows at some point, or vice versa. I would have to figure out how to get the whole Skype thing working. But seriously, I think that is just crazy!
Last summer, I went to a show out in Pomona to Demon Hunter's STRONGER THAN HELL tour. The Lineup was:
Demon Hunter
Living Sacrifice (Who Just got back together )
Oh, Sleeper
The Famine
Advent
Simply one of the best shows I have ever seen. _________________ Travis LaRiviere

yea im starting to get more into the christian metal stuff. my friend turned me on to august burns red and becoming the archetype and they are sick
also doug (since you say you are a lamb of god fan) have you heard the new album wrath? because that truly is one of the greatest metal albums ive ever heard and the no fear energy tour with lamb of god, children of bodom, suicidal tendencies, municipal waste, and god forbid was one of the sickest shows i think ive ever seen. _________________
I think Lamb of God's "Wrath" is a great album; many hints of Pantera and Testament. The guitar work is tremendous. Of course with that being said, nothing has come close to "As The Palaces Burn" yet. That is still their most technical and original outing.

Travis, I would love to come on your show and talk Metal Bands... It's the next best thing to Theme Parks.
BTW- That is an incredible line-up. Living Sacrifice, Demon Hunter, and The Famine in the same show... Awesome!
Also, you mentioned you like Underoath. I actually listened to them when they first started, so I actually have their first two album (you know the CDs that are selling for over $80 a piece on Amazon & Ebay). My wife thinks I'm a nut case for holding on to them... maybe I am. _________________ Doug Barnes

Definitely! We when we have a show where we talk about music and stuff like that, I will definitely give you a call and have you on our show. I'll just have to figure out how to work that all out regarding the technology available.
No need to be a nut case for holding onto old Underoath. I think that is awesome. The orginial singer, Dallas Taylor, has a new band that is more Southern Rock, but still awesome called MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER. What a name! But I actually went to go see Underoath one time and met Aaron Gillespie, the drummer, and since I am a drummer myself, that guy is a nut case when he plays live. I can't believe just the amount of energy that he puts out on each show.
Top 5 Metal Albums of 2008
1. "I Swear..." by Inhale/Exhale (More Hardcore, with insane guitar-work)
2. "Lost In The Sounds Of Separation" by Underoath
3. "Back Breaker" by The Showdown
4. "Dichotomy" by Becoming The Archetype
5. "First Came The Law" by Once Nothing (No longer together, but think of the love child between August Burns Red and Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster-Classify themselves as BLUE-COLLAR METAL) _________________ Travis LaRiviere

Ok seriously Doug this is probably the best conversation on this forum right now! And it has nothing to do with theme parks at all. Next show for me, I was thinking about doing a show about hobbies, and since we are both into metal music, that would be a good part of the show to talk about. Most of the time, I usually tell people about these bands and they are like, HUH? who is that?
But it is nice to know that someone shares my taste! And I added you on Skype earlier. Can't wait for the new episode to hear about this. I will talk with my co-host about getting you on for the next show.
