One of the quintessential principles of the Bunkerpoon creed is to arrive at a philosophically logical conclusion regarding any and all things metal, regardless of genre or subgenre.
To put it plainly: “there’s Thrash, and then there’s Metal.”
Similarly, there’s ALT METAL, and then there’s NU METAL (“ALT…and NU.”)
