Intriguing... Im finding it quite hard to decide... Im going with: Cradle are better songwriters, but Dimmu are less annoying to listen to.

I really like the flat, heavy, unbranded picks. I know a lot of metal guitarists who use the dunlop stubbies, but I cant be doing with them myself, theyre too easy to drop.

I dont think either of them are very good, but theyre both definitely metal.

The new one is definitely worth a go. I don't think any individual song on it is as as good as the best songs on AOTW or Darkened Shrines, but as an album I think its more consistent.

Anyone going to Damnation fest next saturday? Alcest, Nathrakh, Fukpig, & Fen are playing, amongst others. My ticket arrived today.

You should check out some Bolt Thrower for some easy to listen to DM. I didnt notice anyone mentioning them. Have a listen to At first Light from the album Those Once Loyal. Akercocke are worth a go too, start with the album Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone, although theyre all good.

*raises an eyebrow* Ill take your word for that one...

Immortal are awesome live. I was also very impressed by live Akercocke & live Wolves in The Throne Room too.

I mean, dont get me wrong. I like Mumakil a lot. But if I put on a Mumakil album, it all blends together into one thing. I couldnt talk to you about it in terms of song titles & riffs. Same for most grind.

Point taken. I should perhaps have said 'Grindcore songs on any given grindcore album often sound the same to me'

Your attitude towards the music does you credit, but honestly you need a more diverse background in popular music knowledge before making statements about Deathcore bands being the only musicians to use exotic scales & odd time since the romantic period. I thought it was particularly naive of...

If it was a choice between having Nick Barker drumming on it or Vortex doing clean vocals on it, Id pick Vortex every time.

I like this thread... Tom Englund over emotes in his singing & it makes a lot of his vocals sound comical. George Kollias isnt as good as his reputation would have you believe Necrophagist's riffs are all quite samey. Despite being in a band with large grindcore influences, grindcore...

I dont mind Dallas playing bass on the records, or even that his lines dont do much, but I just wish they had more bass in the mix. I find their guitar tone is quite over-saturated & is less heavy without the bass to anchor it a bit. When I saw them last the guy sessioning on bass kept...

first thing that came to my mind too.
