First off, I agree with Amon Amarth. Anything with that blend of heavyness, rhythm, melody and sheer epicness is going to work well, though I'm yet to find another band that adds all four elements by the spade. In general, less fussy about stuff for weights- anything that gets the blood...

Iron Maiden- Murders In The Rue Morgue, based on the Edgar Allen Poe story of the same name (though the connection is fairly tenuous)

I enjoy putting some Blues on from time to time, and Delta stuff is by far my favourite. Can't believe none of the following have been mentioned: Howlin' Wolf Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Mississippi Fred McDowell Lightin' Hopkins All legends. Fred McDowell and Lightin' Hopkins both...

Alright, for the sake of listing, here goes all the intoxicating substances I've taken recreationally: Alcohol Tobacco Weed Ecstasy Speed Mushrooms Cocaine 2CB Ketamine Laughing gas Amyl Nitrate Valium I think that's everything. Not surprisingly, most of the experimentation...

You probably know it already, but the album that comes to mind is Carcass- Heartwork; the guitars in particular are all heavily multi-tracked

I fly long haul at least once a month, usually with work and sometimes on holiday. After 2 years doing this job, I'm pretty much over the whole novelty of flying. Going through the airports (especially check in) takes a load of time, I usually get hilariously dehydrated during the flights, and...

So many UK tours on at the moment- last week, saw Anaal Nathrakh (awesome) at one venue then left to see Fu Manchu at another. Last night was Orange Goblin supporting Saint Vitus, tonight is Municipal Waste, next Monday is a Kataklysm/ Decapitated double header with Man Must Die in support, and...

In general, I agree as well. However, 2 words- Drinking Risk. When you lose a territory, you drink. When you invade a territory, you nominate someone to drink. The game progresses at a speed whereby it is slow enough that everyone's drinking at a normal rate between turns anyway, but fast...

Yeah, pretty much. It's one of those albums which has all the right components, and there's nothing there to specifically irritate either, but overall it feels like they were just going through the motions. In fairness, straight after that album, all but one guitarist left, which suggests all...

The first bands that come to mind are 80's thrash that have had a resurgence after a 90's slump- Kreator and Testament are mainly what I'm thinking of. Outside of thrash, Napalm Death has much the same mid-career slump. Hatesphere- love Bloodred Hatred and The Sickness Within, thought Serpent...

So Roman Polanski then. Most have already been mentioned, Sergio Leone, Akira Kurasawa and Alfred Hitchcock probably make my top 3. Don't think anyone's mentioned Terry Gilliam yet- for shame. Lesser known personal favourites: Rian Johnson, for Brick (wasn't so keen on The Brothers Bloom...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's nothing medically wrong with him, and he's just a bit of a dick. Plus, Cookiecutter, I guess it doesn't help that I've been working 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week for the past four weeks with the guy. There's only so long you can focus on tuning stuff out, until...

I work with a guy who seems to feel the need to fill every void of silence with noise, be it talking (about anything, often bullshit, sometimes reduced to nothing more than a running commentary on whats going on around him), whistling, yawning, tapping on the desk, etc., etc. I can only...

I'll second Arsis and Gorod, and am surprised CyanideChrist didn't suggest Decapitated
