JDubb: Early 90's Heavy Heroes

Senetrix666 01.17.21	It was never bleak for metal lol death metal had a renaissance in the late 80s and early 90s. Black metal also became massive in the early 90s as well
JDubb 01.17.21	It was bleak Dude - I lived it. I think about everyone sold back their hair metal CDs in the span of days. Trash the old, in with the new.
Dewinged 01.17.21	I didn't, actually still got dem LPs. I drifted to grunge for a while that's true, like everyone else, but in the background, in the solitude of my room, there was always and only hair metal.
parksungjoon 01.17.21	9 is underrated so props for that 13 is interesting even if im not too big on those guys
Senetrix666 01.17.21	Also there were plenty of metal albums released before BME that were way heavier. Seems like you’re only focusing on mostly mainstream stuff here
JDubb 01.17.21	When grunge hit, I was in my early teens. Some Metallica and MEGADETH worship continued; but absolutely none of the metal heads of my age were talking up black or death metal. That wasn’t even on our radar, at all. Call it mainstream if you want.
JDubb 01.17.21	At the time, our view was really limited to what we could see (on mtv) and get. If it wasn’t on mtv in daylight hours, it almost didn’t exist. At that age, I was not allowed to stay up to see headbangers ball.
JasonCarne 01.17.21	"It was bleak Dude - I lived it"...."At that age, I was not allowed to stay up to see headbangers ball" So you "lived it" when you were...9? Metal was plenty alive in the 90's, it just existed past your bedtime.
JDubb 01.17.21	Alright - entertain me then. Please expound upon these other non-mainstream bands (as if Pantera or Sepultura were ever mainstream) that "existed past my bedtime" and helped keep metal "alive in the 90's". Just asking for a few examples...
