Ben McCraw (Ben McCraw)
Writer - USA
  More Info:
Styles Prefered: Black metal, speed and/or thrash metal, progressive (i.e. Nevermore), and lots of other styles- even some that borrow indirectly from metal like industrial music; my favorite by far however is the death metal genre-bands like: Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Six Feet Under, Suffocation, Nile etc- that continually define what their genre is and what it can accomplish. In other words, they keep pushing the boundaries...
Favorite Bands: Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Six Feet Under, Suffocation, Nile etc
