The last magical moment that happened to me in a store was in 2001. Once again in our "lucky charm" store, but this time it wasn't anything that one of us spotted in the shelves.
At the time, we were already part of the regular customers of the store, and the owner called us.
"Guys, I have something new and very cool that isn't there yet. I had 4 of this one, but I have showed it to some people and now I only have one, so I have already ordered more, and I'm waiting for the new ones to arrive so I can put it on display. Just listen to this!"
And on the store speakers starts the heaviest symphonic song I had ever heard ... epic-ness in a raw and pure state. Just awesome!
No need to say that I took that last CD of Hollenthon's With Villest Worms to Dwell back home with me.
Hollenthon - Y Draig Goch
So My History with Metal ends in 2001? Nothing happened in the last ten years?
Well, in 2002 I got married (and eventually we all did) with someone that is not a Metal fan, expenses increased, and I stopped having that monthly savings to spend on CDs.
Metal became an hibernating part of my life. I listened to the stuff I had, but I didn't looked for new bands, new albums.
And that lasted until last year, when I decided that I wanted back that part of my identity as an individual, and I started searching about the Portuguese Metal bands I knew, what were they doing, using the new free ways to listen to new stuff without having to go to the store MySpace and YouTube, and eventually that led to the birth of this blog.
Of course I had a few magical moments in the last year, but I was alone when they happened, so the impact is not even comparable to the magical moments in the store. Maybe next year I'll do a week about my magical moments on YouTube :)
