    history of the metal "growl"?

    I'm pretty sure the vocal styles of Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost are what started extreme vocals in metal.

    Death Vocals on morningrise are weaker IMO

    Bloodbath only put out 3 songs and they're one of the greatest death metal bands of all time, IMO.

    The definitive Opeth poll-

    I didn't even get to finish listening to Blackwater Park before it was no longer in my possession, but I already liked it much more than either Morningrise or Orchid. I prefer heavier and darker music over the progressive material.

    Do you find people stupid?

    It is the way that both jesus christ and charles manson were both charismatic leaders of famous cults. Every cult seems to have a charismatic leader, so I could compare christ to just about any cult leader.

    In the US, synth and techno are even bigger among the NS crowd than the "white power rock," at least as far as I know of. The reason that I feel that Vikernes changed to the more synth format is that he explained that black metal was "alien music with aryan lyrics" and that the new material was...

    Welcome

    At certain points in some songs, I think Jonas sounds a little like Robert Smith, but other than that, I don't think his vocals sound like anyone else.

    Those who learned English as a secondary language tend to use much better English than those who learned it as a primary language. Why do people continue to butcher their native tongue? So many good things are ruined in this same way.

    I just find it extremely sad when somebody that has done such great work in metal turns his back on it completely. The same thing happened with Varg Vikernes, but to me, he will always have been the greatest musician of all time. I know that he has decided to devote his time to his belief in...

    Demon of the Fall - Best Opeth Song?

    The reason I'm so fond of "Demon of the Fall" is because of it's incredibly sinister feel. IMO, it is absolutely the most amazing melodic death metal song I've ever heard.

    Languages

    I speak English and I know a small bit of Latin. I studied Latin for a few years, but I'm quite out of practice. I seriously do have a problem understanding some dialects, however. I can't make out most ebonics or redneck talk.

    First Listen of perfection....

    I was very fond of Opeth's vocals from the first time I heard them, probably because I prefer "evil and satanic" music. I actually bought MAYH because somebody told me that it was a black metal album. Although it wasn't black metal, I wasn't disappointed in the least bit. MAYH, before my copy...

    Bloodbath

    That's rather pathetic, IMO. I'd jump at the chance to drum for Bloodbath.

    Any reason why Swano won't be drumming?
