Drummer looking to tune low play slow

Winchester VA

Description

Hails! 36yo drummer likely moving to Winchester or Front Royal this September looking to play heavy along the lines of: Primitive Man Yob Neurosis Portal Mizmor Jupiterian Acid King etc. Not attempting for anything super serious. Regular weekend or evening practice and some occasional shows would be cool but I don't have any aspirations of "making it", making money, or doing super long tours or anything. Mainly just want to get loud and have fun. Is there any kind of a "scene" for metal/punk/indie/diy in Winchester or Front Royal? Are house shows a thing in either place if venues aren't heavy-friendly? Any advice on just living in one or the other would be appreciated too if you feel like sharing. Thanks for looking! -Jake
