hi, im here, hello everyone

[Robbert]

Hi there. I'm Robbert, 49 year old health care worker from The Netherlands. I like lots of music but old fashioned hard rock, heavy metal/NWOBHM and thrash/speed metal is what I grew up on. Also interested in doom, black, prog and stuff that's hard to define genre-wise. Always on the lookout for new stuff or old stuff that I might have missed. I play in an old school hard rock/heavy metal band called Harbour of Souls.

Hello, everyone.

Found this forum searching for TT Quick's first release, which is bloody hard to find in good quality.

Thank you very much to those responsible for this forum, and thank you to all uploaders!

Hi! I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A big fan of metal in general, but specially in Japanese stuff!!!

Anyway, I'm always looking for something new and blowing mind!

[MothCoffins]

hey hey , super glad I stumbled across this place. I am brand new here, looking forward to exploring through this site and meeting some cool people.

Im really into 70s/80s photo-doom and doom metal, 80s death and thrash metal. Never been a big fan of 90s-current stuff, but there is some bands that sneak through the cracks. (always open for suggestions though)

I was born in 1988, so I definitely missed out on the glory days, but oh well.

Morning folks!
I'm just some metal "youngster" in his early-20s who's trying to collect as much local (Hesse, Germany) releases as possible.
I also happen to be a mod at Metal-Archives and trying to get these bands up-to-date.
I already know some of you dislike that site, so please don't rant against it too much on here.
I'm just trying to share some old stuff (mostly Black Metal, I suppose...)
Greetings

Hi guys,

I'm a newcomer from Belgium, I'm already 38 but have discovered metal only 10 years ago.
I don't really have a favourite band, but rather like separate songs from this or that band; mostly folk and power metal, but I'm not sectarian. Apart from that, my other hobbies are playing airsoft and brewing beer.

Have a nice day!

Metalhead from Florida here. I'm into just about all forms of metal, except death metal which I don't care for. I discovered this site while searching for Anvil's 1985 Molten Metal demo, and this was the only place I could find it. This forum seems cool. I might stick around for a while.

One metalhead from Spain over here! Looking forward to discover some great albums!

Moin Moin folks!

After my registration here in the forum was already a few days ago, I would like to introduce myself briefly.

Well, I'm a German metalhead in his mid-forties, who played bass in some hard rock heavy metal bands (so unknown most of them don't even have a metal archive entry, maybee i will upload some LP's/Demos in future). I live near the North Sea (Waterkant), I'm an electrical engineer, calling myself a "nature boy" and as you can read my English is absolutely cruel ...

In the period 2003-2009, I uploaded metal stuff on different pages; primarily metal clips/concerts (round about 2.3k selfrips). And I would like to do that here too, if it does not bother you. viewforum.php?f=59 only 18 clips online... what a shame there should more than 1k....
Well most of my rips are lost/deleted, but i could restore most source files, so i would start to (trans)encode this weekend, and upload 2-3 clips a week. First i would start with DVD (maybee later Video2k VHS and Blu-Ray) ripping mostly clips from late 80s-1999 at first nothing rare ore special, but before i start this i will check if there are better versions then my source on youtube ore similar pages (maybee better videostream, but i am really shocked that there are so many official 360p's out there, and for example yt's ≈ aac 118kbps 2-way transcoded CBR is crap compared to PCM).
I would create mp4's, x264 (Baseline 3.1, High 10, if needed with some filters, no upscaling crap); pcm→ aac true VBR≈315-370kbps ac3→pass through), and if you want mkv's with flac pn me....

Good Night,
Eidolon
