The Heavy Metal Music scene I've been into since I first heard AC/DC's Back in Black album in 1980. From there, I found Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Accept, Dio, Ozzy, Scorpions, Dokken, Queensryche, Helix, Kick Axe, Sanctuary, Savatage, Fates Warning, Testament, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Metal Church, Reverend, Vicious Rumors, Leatherwolf, ManOwaR, W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, RATT, Cinderella, Quiet Riot, and entirely too many other bands from the 80's to name.
Lately, I've been more into thrash, power, and progressive metal. Some of my favorite bands currently include everyone listed above as well as... Therion, Nevermore, Communic, Pyramaze, Overkill, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Bathory, Gamma Ray, Edguy, Morgana Lefay, Pagan's Mind, Evergrey, Theocracy, Seven Witches, Overlorde, Exhibition, Wuthering Heights, Avian, Tad Morose, Brainstorm, Symphorce, The Ring, Heimdall, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth...

"Pathfinder rules. Any band that has an opportunity to work with Hoyt should consider themselves fortunate. In an industry sea of sharks & scum, this man & his crew rise above, stick to their word & deliver the goods. Here's wishing you much success in the future & looking forward to the next time. Bigger & better!" - Icarus Witch; Pittsburgh, PA.

"Thank YOU Hoyt! Your hospitality and hard working attitude is very respected and appreciated! Definitely would rock to do some shows together again up this way and wherever it may be...

"OBLIVION MYTH is very proud to be associated with Pathfinder Promotions. Your shows are the most organized and most respectful productions we have ever worked with. And the hospitality, wow! Oblivion Myth will forever be in debt to you and will always help you in any way we can. We have played many shows in and around Nashville over the years, but the Atlanta area shows you have produced with us have always remained the best! And the Atlanta area metal fans are amazing. We want to come back a.s.a.p.! On behalf of Oblivion Myth, thanks for everything! See you soon!" Keith Smith, Oblivion Myth; Nashville, TN

...thank you for taking such good care of us (Tempest Reign) this past Saturday when we played The Local in Atlanta, GA. Of all the promoters we have worked with you are by far the best. You did what you said you would, when you said you would, and even went above and beyond what we had agreed upon. The club was nice, the sound and lights were totally professional, and the show was promoted very well. It was nice to be treated with respect and dignity. I wish there were more promoters that would follow your lead. You are a True Metal Fan and you definitely keep the Metal Alive.
We look forward to working with you in the future and building a lasting partnership. Thanks so much. 'DEADLY SMEDLEY' - Brent E. Smedley, Tempest Reign; Jacksonville, FL

The Local Venue is one of the best venues we have ever seen and played on. Great lights, sound, stage, atmosphere, and Quesadillas for the bands! I would drive twice as far as we already did to play a show there. Hoyt is the best promoter on the face of this planet or the next....period. That's pretty much what we think about him and what he does <3 It's been nothing but a pleasure to work with him. - Camden Cruz, Seven Kingdoms; Orlando, FL

Thank you so much for inviting us to play last night, we truly had a great time! The venue was exceptional and you guys treat bands better than almost anyone we've encountered.
