He's a fan of godsmack so I'm slowly winning him over...
He was already into In Flames, but today, I shared
Between the Buried and Me, Bury Your Dead, The Acacia Strain, and Soilwork.

i hear that new group Killswatch Engayge is all the rage with the kids these days.

which soilwork? I would say to play him Chainheart machine. Most of the people i know that like "Godsmack-ish" stuff get into "colony" by In Flames. And of course "Alaska" buy BTBAM. I hate TAS, but the rest of those are great picks to introduce someone to heavier shit with.

PLAY YOUR BOSS SKREWDRIVER OBV

I told him that the goal is coverge.

converge

try these...

With BTBAM it better be the silent circus or self titled. Colors is good too, but I didn't like Alaska.

well, i mean starting slowly is at least starting... Cant go from a godsmack cd, to a, lets say,.. Nasum cd or Krisuin. Ahh with a lil bit of time hell be riciting DROPDEAD and Anal Cunt lyrics! heh

A Predator's Portrait turned out to be my favorite Soilwork. He should only appreciate In Flames up until Colony or he's a serious pussy.

play him some Steel Panther

Alaska > colors

dur

The Swede metal is the gateway for many, including me.

listened to the whole S/T btbam today and I had forgotten just how smoknig good that record is.

I also am a pussy and like a lot of in flames's gay shit. Also, NBC is an addictive album.

COUNTDOWN TO NEW BROKENCYDE FAN IN 3... 2...

Reroute To Remain was one of my first metal CDs (yeah yeah, gay!) and still one of my favs! haha

Tell him he's only allowed to listen to Sunn or you won't talk to him anymore.

fuck BTBAM, play him PRAYER FOR CLEANSING or youre a pussy.

Also play him Jud-Jud and act real serious about it. When he asks about there being no instruments, look at him like he's got three heads and back away slowly.
