    Did Behemoth gang-rape a fan in 2001?

    Wow, what a bunch of morons continuing to give heavy metal a bad name. Harr harr harr. Thank you crimsonfloyd (and a couple of others) for fighting the good fight against misogyny, hatred, and ignorance....

    What do you think of the classic NWOBHM band Raven?

    I just saw 'em a few weeks ago, not really being familiar with them except always carrying a torch for minor hit On And On, and they were... ok. Kind of ridiculous and dated, and played way too long (opening for Diamond Head). But they seemed to having fun, and are super old school lifers...

    BLACK SABBATH – "13"

    Saxon or Diamond Head?

    Thanks guys! Wow, such variety - I was actually expecting a decidedly Saxon consensus. And I am in fact leaning toward them, if my diplomatic skills hold true... BUT, if I'm not pressing my luck, it occurs to me I could still yet see Helloween the Sat. before (this coming Sat., 3 days before...

    Saxon or Diamond Head?

    I haven't posted here forever, but I thought you guys could offer me some expertise. In a couple of weeks, Saxon/Fozzy and Diamond Head/Raven are playing back-to-back nights at the same club here in Seattle. Of course, I wish they'd combine forces into a NWOBHM extravaganza, but that...

    Latin and Black Metal

    The use of Latin in black metal goes back directly to the Black Mass in "Classical" Satanism (as opposed to LaVey-type Satanism). This Satanism, which existed mostly in stories and Christian scare tactics, was all about perversion of Christianity (Catholicism). This was epitomized by the Black...

    Deathcore music

    I just want to say that I happened to see Emmure last night. They sucked. God, I hate that totally cliche generic metalcore sound, nothing but palm muting and breakdowns, no musicianship or anything except 'roid rage bullshit.

    New Opeth album announced

    I am shocked (and very pleased) to see the lack of elitist dickhead kneejerk Opeth hate in this thread....
