A fowl assemblage of 101 death(ish) metal bands
FINE Mort. I'll doooo the list Mort. I hardly like death metal Mort. Is this a safe place Mort.? Can I tell you about high school Fowl? High school Fowl was a loser. High school Fowl had nobody. So high school Fowl found several metal websites and aggressively accrued death metal for cred on internet blogs and twitter. Why???? Fowl asks himself this to this day.
My pie chart is 20% death metal because I was once an insecure fuuuuucker and my current residency at sputnikmusic.cum is in part to discover all the other, wonderful music outside this myopic, dead-end of a genre. Recc me a n y t h i n g else in the comments please |
