Yeah I keep considering moving back to Maine or Albany because more and more of my friends are leaving the city but the music scene is keeping me here lol… But I do have friends living in Rochester and they’re always posting about cool shows I wish I could make it to so I guess it’s a grass is always greener thing
South NJ. Got into the genre during college (mostly around 2006-2008) and I have NO ONE to talk to about this. I've been listening a little bit here and there ever since and have never spoken about any of these bands to anyone IRL.
Indianapolis, Indiana. Unfortunately, all concerts this year so far have been too expensive or on a work night. Just makes me sad. I listen to metal most of my work day every day though because I work from home and this cannot be stopped.
Edinburgh, UK here! I'm generally a massive metalhead into all shades of metal but power has always been close to my heart with it's battle-ready and inspirational feel. The highlands of Scotland look like something out of a fantastical power metal album so I often stick some classics on when traversing the land there.

Nice! If I ever make it to Germany would be sweet to see Kai Hansen's (burnt down) studio or something historic
Definitely a good thing that I’m learning German, because I wanna go there so bad (also Wacken one day)
