Some of these are gateway bands that I don’t listen to myself anymore. Others are still part of my listening routine 15 years later.

- Gatecreeper. It's no surprise to anyone that Gatecreeper have taken the world by storm. The Arizona death metal powerhouse have it all – incredible riffs, believable ferocity, fifty-story production, a killer name, and a live show that will make any attendee move.
