    Finnish Live Damage review

    For those that speak the glorious finnish tongue, the fact that the metal site Imperiumi posted a review of Live Damage might be of interest. http://www.imperiumi.net/alb_2.php?id=1343 They gave it 8/10 The last paragraph sums up the review: "Live Damage is a damn good package crammed...

    The forum members you haven't met - but would like to

    This would be the logical follow-up to Realhazard's "forum members you have met" thread, giving even those fortunate enough not to have met various interesting characters here a chance to post. Post a list, and preferably with a few exciting reasons as well. :p

    Most handsome member of Borknagar

    Hihih, due to popular demand (?) here's the official thread to express yoru admiration for male beauty of the Norwegian persuasion. I vote Tyr, it's his steely gaze that does it ;p

    Ideal DT setlist 2.0

    Inspired by recent news that DT have preliminary plans to tour Finland with Lacuna Coil, the possibility of seeing them live made me think of what songs I'd like to hear. I started a thread on the same topic last September, now for take two :P 15 songs, make your ideal setlist for a Dark...

    Everything you wanted to know about Finland, but were too afraid to ask

    Many of you have seen it, but for the benefit of those who haven't, here's the official Foreigner's guide to Finland: http://www.co.jyu.fi/~np/misc/foreigners_guide_to_finland.html You can naturally turn to the local expert panel to confirm all of the facts in the guide.

    Can I Play with Madness? - A Favourite DT outro poll

    Continuing a fine trend of thread titles incongruous with their true intent. Feel free to add a comment to your choice. I'd say At Loss for Words. It's not as good as some of the other closing tracks as a song in itself I think, but as a closing track it's possibly the best. Yeah, I even like...

    Happy Birthday Dr. Ville "Villain" Tranquillity

    Heh, seems like April is a pretty high concentration for birthdays on this forum. In any case, the jubilations continue (and reach a zenith?) with Villain, who turns 24 today. I'd like to thank Ville for being an endless source of inspiration and information, Aquinas' perfect manifestation of...

    Viva Emptiness on the charts

    I'm curious as to how VE is doing in charts around Europe. It debuted on the Finnish chart this Monday at 17th. At 16th place was To/Die/For, with "Jaded". The album below VE was "Kuolema" by Ajattara, heheh.

    Katatonia to tour with... Finntroll

    Apparently Finntroll will join Katatonia for most of their European tour. I have a hard time thinking of two bands with such conflicting images. http://www.finntroll.net/showGigs.php

    Misery in Me lyrics - Take two

    Here's a link to download the song in case you don't have it: http://personal.inet.fi/private/ormir/DT/Misery.mp3 Heh, it's a good song, but the missing lyrics have bothered me for long. Hopefully this will rouse some of you out of apathy. I edited out the random "come on" and "yeah baby"...

    Summoning - Lost Tales

    Masters of ambient fantasy music with metal elements return with their seventh offering, the EP Lost Tales. As the name implies, the two tracks on this album are old recordings deemed too good not to be released by the Austrian duo. Both break the typical Summoning mold by having no guitars or...

    Best DT rhythm guitarist

    Odd that nobody has thought to poll this yet. Here we go. :cool: I allowed multiple choices in this poll, in case someone really can't make one preference. I choose Fredrik Johansson, Mikael is great on Skydancer, but it's obvious he's not in the same class as Niklas. Fredrik on the other...

    If Borknagar needed a new vocalist...

    Here's a hypothetical situation: Vintersorg has just left Borknagar to join Yngwie Malmsteen's band. Garm won't return unless he can add hip-hop beats. Simen won't leave the Borgir family. Who would you choose as the new Borknagar vocalist, with all previous ones unavailable?

    Yes, Katatonia have put up a sample from Viva Emptiness. http://www.katatonia.com/samples.html I'm listening to it now, still to form an opinion. Comments?

    Make your own Manotranquillity song!

    I remember seeing a thread like this somewhere, so here's an adaption for the DT forum. Each poster adds new sentences to the song. A chorus comes after two verses. Choruses are reposted as they are. Punish my Enemies of Metal We're proud metal warriors from Sweden We write heavy songs...

    Themes in TMI, and relations to the cover photo

    "The title is a play on words. We took the english saying "The mind's eye", and added a more introspective quality by changing the "eye" into an "I". To make this parallell a bit more obvious for people, we changed it back again for the title of the outro. It's not a concept album, but all the...

    Sooo... how do you feel about the abundant use of keyboards in the last two DT albums?
