Geocache Description:

An oldie but a goody for a MM cache getting near the end.

I was at a loss for a while on what to do for the X cache. I first thought of X marks the spot but there is a cache in ChCh already with that name. But it is a good one never the less. Then I thought ahhh pirate treasure with an X on a map. Pirate metal is a sub, sub Genre of metal after all with the band Alestorm in my collection as one good example. But then it is not a very big category with Wiki only listing 5 bands only 2 of which I had heard off Alestorm and Running Wild.
Then I thought of bands with X as part of their name. I also had a couple in my collection Symphony X and Eternity X. SO after all the pondering I finally decided.

Solve the puzzle and the cache will be found at South 43 3A BCD East 172 2E FGH Where

A = Phantom9X - An American Power metal band formed in 2003
B = X
4Terra - An American Heavy Metal band formed in 1985.
C = Pure
4X - Swedish Heavy Metal band formed in 1994.
D = Symphony X
3- A progressive power metal band formed in 1994.
E = Eternity X - An American Progressive metal band formed in 1985 but changed name from Eternity to Eternity
3X in 1991.
F = X Japan - Japanese Heavy/Progressive/Power Metal band formed in 1982 as
9X then changed names to X Japan in 1992.
G = Raven
8X - An American Gothic/Death Metal band formed in 2006
H = Racer X
5- Another American Heavy Metal/Shred band formed in 1984.
