Murder in the Front Row: Shots from the Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter, by Harald Oimoen and Brian Lew

Brian Lew was an early metal nerd (liked to read, watch Star Trek, and may have been a computer nerd) who went to Bay Area speed metal shows and took a number of classic photographs. You may know Harald Oimoen as the longtime bassist of DRI. Together, they’ve thrown together their best pictures of this early scene, in the hopes perhaps of catching the growing wave of nostalgia for when metal was actually good (pre-1995).

    I like pre 1995 cock! Then came Mastodon and everything turned out excessively gay!

    Vietnamese lady-boys support gay rock band Mastodon; specially the first two records which are deliciously transexual.

    Vietnamese lady-boys support the person with the comment above on his quest for the hugest Asian cock. Not only is he in search of the 9th wonder, he’s also looking to suck it big time. Since it’s illegal internationally to put the words “Asians”, “cock” and “big” in the same sentence, the hessian groove metal band Mastodon are hated by faggots who post here because only big, dick straight males can be hessians and listen to Mastodon.

    Queer, meth users definitely hate the brutality that is Remission and Leviathan. It’s amusing, their little insults.

  7. @ above faggot says:

    You are obsessed with pretending you are a “hessian” because you like Mastodon that it’s so sad. I used to like the band specially the first album but after I started listening to real metal I realized Mastodon is mallcore fake metal. You should try to stop ramming random objects up your anus and you will realize Mastodon is very stupid music.
