The metal ends with Mayhem and starts with San Fran

I’m having a resurgent thrash metal and hardcore period at the moment, but i realise there’s an outer boundary I cannot appreciate.  The UV of the spectrum of music I simply can’t process, those who know me know I have a taste for everything, including country.  And cocaine K-pop.  clownstep…doomcore…neurofunk…mountain goat tribe chants.

Alas! The beauty behind Mayhem are like bluebells which are invisible to me because they are UV coloured.  Is that the point, completely?

Mayhem [norwegian black metal] is a morsel too dark and deathly for me.  I’m not being literary either,as  there have been a string of murders and deaths associated with the band.  Music is my religion, but it shouldn’t be that way!  I shudder a tad.

Lying safely within this newly discovered boundary are notable bands such as 

Slayer [Californian thrash metal]

Anthrax [NYC thrash metal]

Megadeth [Californian thrash metal]

Metallica [Californian heavy metal]

Dream Theatre [American progressive metal from NYC]

The Dillinger Escape Plan [American mathcore from New Jersey, NY], brainchild of Mike Patton of FNM.  pure freakin genius.  

A trip to Cali is overdue.
