About Us

<Death Metal> is a World of Warcraft raiding guild located on the Kil'Jaeden US realm. Most of the core members are real-life friends who have grown up together in Northwest Connecticut. However, we do have and will anticipate having members from all over North America. The essence of this guild is maintaining a tight-knit community: While we enjoy WoW raiding, we view the experience as a way for all of us to hang out and get to know each other better. If we're not hanging out in person, what better way to be together than to test our teamwork, skill, and coordination against scripted foes?

As the name suggests, the majority of us are metalheads to some degree. While it's not a requirement, if you're also a fan of metal, you should fit in quickly as we'll have at least two things in common: enjoying WoW and metal. Raidcall is our voice communication program of chocie. Whenever my computer is on and I'm AFK, I'll be streaming my metal playlists through Raidcall. Hop in for some sweet, sweet \m/.

The core members have raided together in past, particularly in Cataclysm. We cleared Heroic Dragon Soul (albeit with the 25% nerf), but we enjoyed the progression immensely. Beyond that, we have all been playing WoW for several years. As such, veteran players are our target recruitees. While we're not striving to be one of the best guilds around, we're confident that we'll be clearing Normal & Heroic raids and progressing in Mythic during each raid tier in WoD.

For the Normal and Heroic difficulties, we plan on having as close to 10 raid members as possible. Since the Mythic raids are fixed 20 mans, there is no current plan on how we'll expand the core raid group. Hopefully we can recruit the necessary amount of people, otherwise we'll team up with another 10 man guild.

I decided that the online presence for <Death Metal> is better off being a blog rather than a forum. We had a forum in the past, but it wasn't really utilized since most of our discussions take place in Guild chat or on Raidcall. The blog will be used to primarily post boss strategies and document boss kills. However, anyone has the freedom to post whatever they want here. For instance, I'll write up some metal album reviews every now and then.

Old and new friends alike, welcome to <Death Metal> \m/
