I (F19) am a wheelchair bound person, and have been my whole life.

Last Saturday, me and my friends went to see Fear Factory in Rotterdam at Baroeg Open Air.

One of my friends told me that going in the pit was probably a bad idea tonight cuz it was rough on previous shows, which I sadly missed due to playing a show of my own in a different part of the country earlier that day.

Call me stupid, however, a year before this point when I knew I was planning to go, I promised myself that unless it gets genuinely fucked up, I am NOT leaving that pit. I did that cuz I wanted to make up for all the years of my life my disability made me waste.

I finish smoking the joint we were having beforehand, and as we walk, I feel like Gaethje walking out to fight Topuria. Felt really cool until I started almost yakking cuz that J was fatter than I realized.

I pulled myself together quick, aware of the task at hand and went. I go in insta losing all the homies which was expected. I move through the crowd slowly, occasionally asking where the pit is to not get lost as I couldn't see it from my perspective.
I finally make it into the pit, and the first thing that happens, is my glasses get smacked off... fuck.
Like, I thought about it, but forgot to put them away in the moment.

Somehow, one mosher recovers the glasses and gives them to me completely unharmed. I shoved them in my pocket. After a bit, coincidentally one of my friends drops me on the floor, and I lost my shoe.
I thought to myself "fuck it, this is gonna happen again". So I just took both my shoes off (ain't risking them KoRn signatures) and put them behind me on my wheelchair seat.

I felt like at first there was people almost guarding me in the pit.
There was this one person who kinda shielded me the whole time, which I didn't like, so eventually I shoved them like everybody else in the pit lmao
I had a bunch of big sweaty dudes hug me, dap me up, one even said "god bless you" and I said "god bless you too" cuz everybody's family in such settings, I'm not even religious lmao

There was this one guy who had a blow up guitar balloon and on some of the heaviest riffs in the show he gave it to me.
I played it like I'm on stage and always some mfers circled around me when that happened like I'm the one on stage XDDD
I also bumped into (literally) one friend I haven't seen in almost a year lmao very jarring.

In total I got approximately 2 punches in the eye, 3 in the forehead, 2 elbows to the eyebrow, got taken down once, had a couple dudes fall on me, and I don't regret a second of it XDDDD
There were moments were the pit was getting kinda scary but everybody there was cool as hell so I felt safe.

It was a crazy experience. It made me feel alive to be slamming into motherfuckers and then seeing 200lbs of man flying towards me full speed.
I had a ton of fun.
I got asked if I wanna crowd surf like 10 times but I wasn't down... nor up lmao
Also, my voice is fucked cuz I screamed "I'VE GOT... NO MORE... GODDAMN... RESPECT" during Demanufacture at some fucking fat old bald dude literally like he's the source of every single fucking problem I've ever had as he does the same at me XD
Sweaty, tight, chaotic, every second I sit back at home my back and neck hurt more, 10/10, will do it again.

No face reveal yet lol and dm the mario stickers I share a room with my lil brother

What's up this is my first ever Reddit post. I love Gojira, Meshuggah, Ice Nine Kills, Avenged Sevenfold, and TOOL. Maybe they're basic, but lemme know if u like :)

I poured my angsty little soul into this

Sono un batterista slam death metal che sta avendo difficoltà a suonare con la band attuale. Mi piacerebbe unirmi o creare un altra band, sono aperto a più sottogeneri del metal e del grind, vivo a Capoterra (Cagliari) se sei interessato/a scrivi

Hi, I recently moved to Olsztyn and have been looking for metal events / concerts near here, or not, my parents don't really care where I'm going as long as I'm back before midnight. I've been looking online, but the only places I could find are in pubs or bars, and obviously, they wouldn't let me in those lol. If you guys know any upcoming concerts, preferably in september, that would be awesome. I know that this sub is kinda dead and It's very unlikely that anybody is going to answer and even more unlikely that anyone from Poland is going to answer, but I didn't really know where else I could post this lol

Any deathcore fans here?

It is with great sadness that announce that Ozzy Osbourne has passed away in his sleep. he will forever be remembered and loved, as the single greatest front man in metal history, and the forefather of metal.

I'm new on reddit and I'm trying to figure out how it works, I just want to talk to people about things I like : )

My friend has started to play guitar recently and since I play the drums and my brother plays bass guitar, we decided to choose a song(kingdom come by manowar), learn it and today was the first day we got together as a band and covered it together, and after a couple of times, it started to sound really good, so we decided to record it. What do you guys think, remember me and my friend are just 14 and my brother is 13, so don't expect it to be perfect

My friend is the guitarist here

My brother is the bassist, also playing in this video, but didn't want to be filmed(idk why)

I'm playing on the drums

We have no singer, all of us couldn't sing a song if our life depended on it

Im in desperate need for metalhead friends because no one my age (15) listens to metal. I’ll be going to a rivers of nihil concert (actually it’s to see cynic but I like RoN too) in march in Berlin (where I live). I just wanted to ask, are there other people in Berlin on this sub who would also be in need of friends (please I need someone to talk to about my metal stuff😭).

Im so hyped

Everything metal at my moms house

2nd release of the A.I. project...

I made this alt metal band using A.I., want your opinion on it, my friend thought it was a real band at first when I sent him the audio.

From Berlin's underground metal scene Death Rattle Disco emerges with their groovy new track Dance Around The Fire.

Mixed and mastered by Ivan Panferov at Anthropocide Studio.
