    Emperor and Mäleficentt at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, CA. First, this was my first time At YouTube theater, and I’m not a fan. It’s really austere and boutique feeling. The sound system is very clean, which is nice, but it was not loud enough for a metal show. Also, I know all these...

    GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2000 (v2)

    1. Rhapsody- Dawn of Victory Dawn of Victory is absolute fire. In contrast to the band's previous two records, this is heavier, faster and more high energy. If anything, they've taken the symphonic elements back just a notch, resulting in a record with a lot more drive. Tracks like the title...

    Gloryhammer at the Wiltern in LA. Man, this was such a fun show. The new singer isn’t quite on the level of the old guy, but he’s good enough. Phenomenal energy and super entertaining stage presence. Excellent setlist. Only downside was a short set, as Alestorm were the headliners. Didn’t stay...

    Well that was an amazing game. Best soccer game I’ve ever watched. I hate it came down to penalties, but that’s the system they have. Golden goal would be better.

    The World Cup Thread

    What I enjoy about them versus other tournament “underdogs” is that, while their sound defense is their backbone, they actually create exciting opportunities on the counterattack. A lot of soccer underdogs are a bore to watch, but Morocco create real chances. Aboukhlal easily could have had a...
