    SOAD was practically the reason I even got into rock in the first place. I first wanted to play drums but my mom got me a cheap replica guitar and every SOAD song was my inspiration to learn. Afterwards, Trivium was introduced in my life in 2008. Holy shit.

    Sepultura - Inner Self
    Van Halen - Atomic Punk
    Black Sabbath - NIB
    Slayer - Angel of Death
    Megadeth - Wake up dead
    Anthrax - Madhouse
    All these songs came out years before I was ever born but its what made me fall in love with the crunchy and heavy sound of a guitar in E standard tuning. Since all the bands I grew up listening to, like Slipknot and SOAD and other bands like that, played in mostly D. So once I heard the Ride the Lightning album I was blown away, then on I kept searching for more bands with that similar sound.
