| I'm a 42 year old metalhead looking for other folks into the scene/music in the area. What shows do you attend? Are there any local bands you support? It's tough being a 'head in the suburbs |

| Which suburbs? There are small venues around. |

What kind of metal are you into? There are so many subgenres. I listen mostly to melodic death, black, doom, post-rock, and post-metal.
I think this is a great area for metal fans. Lots of venues have metal shows -- Empire, the Filmore, Rock & Roll Hotel, Ram's Head, tons of smaller venues in Baltimore. |

Hahaha!
I just glanced at the title and thought it said "METH heads Unite!" Glad to hear dcum is not sinking to a new low. |

| OP here - Yes, this is a good area to see shows. I meant that it's hard to be a 'head in the sense that I don't tend to meet many like-minded people. I prefer doom, sludge, death. |

I'm not really a metalhead, but a bunch of us are seeing the Steel Panther show at the Fillmore on 5/16. should be a hilarious show, though not so much sludge or death or doom.
sounds like you need to just look for shows at the places 13:18 recommended and head to a show - i think concertgoers tend to be a friendly bunch. |

Port City Brewery in Alexandria hosts an occasional metal night -- there is one coming up on May 1.

That looks like a winner. Thanks for the tip! |

| The Fillmore in Silver Spring seems to have a fair amount of metal shows. My husband saw Slayer there recently. |

Have you ever been to these? What are they like? Anyone else going to the Maryland Deathfest? I'm disappointed Ulver dropped off, but happy Agalloch is their replacement. |

| Bump. Deathfest is next weekend. Anyone going? |
