My path to bhakti might be a little different than most who came in from an extreme music scene. There's a lot of Krishna Conscious hardcore bands, but I didn’t even know about that until after I became involved. I inadvertently came to bhakti through black metal. I became vaguely acquainted with vedic concepts through a band called “Cult of Fire”, but never committed myself to them and continued to wander through Maya for several years. Eventually the darkness became overwhelming, and I summoned the courage to go to the closest "Hindu" temple there was, it was an ISKCON center just down the street from my house. I had virtually no idea who Krishna was when I first set foot in there but it filled my heart with a sense of peace I had never felt and I kept going back, following the literature, and chanting ever since!
