First of all, hi Leon and Rayner, and excuse my english faults, since I'm french ! I'll try to do my best to be understable anyway.

I'm von_yaourt, I'm 18, I live in Blois, which is in middle of France... I listen to extreme metal for about 10 years now, my favourite bands are Death, Control Denied (Chuck is my God), Arsis, Quo Vadis, Mithras (really), Deströyer 666, Thy Primordial, Cirith Gorgor, The Legion, etc...
To sum up, I enjoy technical death metal, brutal death metal, black metal, thrash metal and a few heavy metal bands (Blind Guardian, Helloween, King Diamond...).
I have known Mithras with the great Worlds Beyond The Veil, just like many others here I think !

I am a member of the french webzine where I wrote a few weeks ago the review of , since I thought that the last album wasn't recognize as good as it truly is (7 out of 10 is ridiculously low !)... because yes, at the moment, Behind The Shadows Lie Madness is my album of the year.

By the way, am I really the first frenchy here ?

Welcome von_yaourt,! I'm not sure if you're the first French member but you could well be!

I've actually seen the review you did of 'Worlds...' on said board, and the 'Shadows....' review (linked below in English for anyone interested) so cheers.

Hello there, you horse eating frog bastard!

I'm joking, welcome to the cult, my good fellow!
