    That would be far too self-gratifying

    Vocalists: Record an Opeth verse!

    Even if the mic was peaking [it wasn't] or the shittiest mic you could buy it would pick up a better death vocal than that....you were whispering dude. If you really want, I can make a demonstration to prove this point with my computer mic.

    Mikael on Brave Murder Day

    I got my hands on Brave Murder Day thanks to a fuckin amazing member of these forums....it has a doom influence/feel to it, but I wouldn't call it a doom metal album. And yeah, I discovered the same thing as Unknown...only Viva Emptiness and Brave Yesterdays

    Mikael on Brave Murder Day

    Anyone else heard anything off of Katatonia's Brave Murder Day? In "Rainroom" at least, Mikael's death vocals are almost terrifying...it's like he's whispering. Beautiful fucking song...Now if only I could find the album somewhere :confused:

    Where are you from?

    Sloth, nothing the United States does is impressive, except maybe ream the rest of the world economically, politically, socially, environmentally, and anthropologically.

    Has Opeth Created Its Own Cliche?

    Those of you who listen to any classical music at all should realise that the concept of "dynamics" is not new at all...If you listen to every Opeth album, though there are similar elements, such as the progressive nature, and Mikael's unique songwriting style, each album is different...it would...

    Opeth Riffs, yet again...

    For those of you not familiar with the recording process, the reason Opeth achieves such good tone and depth is because when rhythm guitars are recorded, each track is recorded four times and they are then layered...if you reallllllly listen, you can notice this (not so much in Opeth as in other...

    Guitarists, read ! :)

    Very cool idea. Use a click track or it will be Orchid part II, save without the cohesive structure and stellar songwriting.... If you wish, I can program a drum machine for your track upon its completion (if you use a click track and specify the BPM, that is)...I'd offer to do a recording...

    Asgaut acoustic cover of Harvest

    I beg to differ with the trend above...it's horrible. If you intend to cover a song, at least do your best to play the correct chords...for example...the progression at the beginning/end consists of more than an E minor, chaps =). The bass is missing, "Harvest" sounds more complete with the...

    amazing beat typical for lopez

    I'll make this easy for all of you. It's not a difficult beat, it doesn't matter how you break it down, whether it be in 4/4 triplet feel, 3/4, or 6/8...the point of it is that it is synchopated ....ie emphasising notes that are usually quiet. Here it is for those of you who can read standard...
