Hot Topic CD!

[OrestesMantra]

lol....

Yeah, well I went into a Hot Topic store the other day because I had to kill some time and there wasnt anything else to do. Anywho,after laughing at the punk/goth/loser clerk for a minute or two and checking out the cool good charlette t-shirts(thats sarcasm folks), I went browsing through the cds. I actually found a good metal compilation album put out by hot topic for only 4 bucks.

its called Metal for the Masses and had some pretty good bands like:

-Dark Tranquilty
-Sentenced
-In Flames
-Meshuggah
-lacuna coil
-soilwork
-and a few i havent heard of but were pretty decent like Shadows Fall,Darkane, and Hypocrisy. Are these new bands?

21 tracks for 4 bucks was a steal. Hopefully some little poser punk loser will pick it up and see the light(or dark)

 

[SLAYER85]

na, hypocrisy is pretty oldschool, dont know how old but they have been around a while.

 

[Flaming Death]

Hypocrisy is awesome.

they are definately not new.

like 7 albums and 2 or 3 EPs

been around along time

 

[spaffe]

hypocrisy have at least 10 years in the industry, and are quite good, darkane are new in comparison,
think they've released 3 full-lengths which are decent, some black-thrash-mixture, not quite my cup of tea.
haven't heard shadows fall.

 

[Slaughter Of The Soul]

Shadows Fall is a strange Death Metal band.
They are melodic with very nice guitars, brutal and clean vocals, and in some songs have chorus with clean vocals.50% clean, 50% brutal vocals.

They are a great band.Very very good, check 'em out.

 

[OrestesMantra]

^You should get the sand out of your vagina buddy and not be an elitist bastard.

 

[NAD]

Hypocrisy is one of my all time favorite metal bands, they've been around quite awhile, and even have a forum here at UM.

 

[nergal_S]

Hypocrisy have been around forever, they are first wave swedish death metal.

All the bands on that cd are quite mainstream, i think it was put out by Century media and nuclear blast USA.

 

[futile]

Dying Sun .... you are pathetic

 

[no country for old wainds]

Darkane and Hypocrisy are very good. Shadows Fall are ok.

 

[ffanatic]

I bet Dying Sun listens to Yanni.

Anyways, Orestes, what tracks were there from each band, if oyu don't mind listing them?

 

[lucifer_cbhc]

i saw Haunted - One Kill Wonder at hot topic the other day.. made the trip worthwhile.. but hell, i'd buy that compliation for $4.

 

[futile]

Please get back to me when you have learnt the english language.

 

[OrestesMantra]

God forbid that anyone not like the same bands that you do, mainstreamer.

[OrestesMantra]

Yeah, there is. The bands I listen to refuse to cater to bourgeois tastes and populist demands for mindless entertainment.

Thats just a shitty excuse for making bad music and not selling any records.

 

[OrestesMantra]

*Yawn* This is the same logic that Britney Spears fans use. Popularity and quality have nothing to do with each other. Indeed, good music is almost always LESS popular than bad music, given the greater stupidity of the human race.

Wrong. For example, Opeth is very popular.Why?They are really good and alot of people have recognized that fact, bought their albums, and told other people how good they are.

 

[futile]

are you saying Opeth have no artistic depth?

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

The Chasm sucks, but not as much as someone who shops at Hot Topic. Den of fags.

 

[IanDork107]

I guarantee if Opeth sang about nihilsm or if they had nazi beliefs, all these little elitist fudge packers would eat the shit up with a spoon.The thing you have to understand when talking to shits like Dying Sun is that if the message behind something isn't able to be twisted to fit their moronic ideals, or if it's not Danzig (whose dick all the elitist fools would suck), it's got no artistic merrit and they won't give it a chance. They're just limiting themselves and will end up far stupider than the humanity they hate because of it.

 

[J.]

The Chasm sucks.

I bet you've never even heard the band, and if you have, you're probably judging the band based on one song or simply one listen to an album.
