    Just a Hi to the old-timers.

    Metalmancpa, you forgot to mention me (I must be one of the old-timers since I registered in May 2001)...but I don't blame you, since I've only posted 30 times during these months. On the Internet, as in real life, I prefer to silently watch the world from the shadows, where I belong...that's...

    Demonspell: "I truly am the mute funeral portrait, the human computer virus, the plagued and lost wounded enigma..." You ARE ? ! COOL ! Do you have a fan club? :)

    WHEN did you get into Opeth?

    My long and rather intimate relationship with Satan has resulted in a couple of strange mental gifts, one of them being an ability to FEEL when Black Heart is doing something interesting. So in October 2000, I sensed that BH was listening to Opeth and I just HAD to download a few MP3s to see if...

    It's funny...even though I spent ten long minutes making my own avatar, when Demonspell asked for help, I didn't do the most logical thing; edit the image down myself. The thought just didn't cross my mind...I think I've been watching too many stupid TV shows lately, soon I won't even remember...

    fear of death

    I actually disagree with much of what has been written on this subject so far. For example, I don't think "life is death" just because it (death) is the inevitable end of life. Death is nothing, an infinite non-existance that means absolutely nothing to us (since we won't be able to experience...

    Demonspell: No, you're not screwed! PaintShopPro, for example, can be downloaded for free from www.paintshoppro.com. But the file is a bit large, if I remember correctly, so if you just want to edit this one picture, I suggest you go to www.tucows.com; they've got almost everything, including...

    Traveler: Go to the excellent Artmagick website at http://www.artmagick.com/ Demonspell: You'll have to use a program such as PaintShopPro or CorelDraw to change the size to 70x70 pixels.

    Traveler: Nice avatar, when I saw it I knew I had to have one myselff! It's called "The Distant Princess", by French painter George-Jules Victor Clairin (1843-1919).

    Are you addicted to music

    Godisanatheist: Yes, because "Blackwater Park", for example, is less likely to cause severe brain damage than "Oops...I did it again". :)

    Blackwater Park and Still Life

    Soul Forlorn: I've only been listening to Opeth since October 2000, but "Morningrise" has always been my favorite Opeth album. Still, I think you're right. It's not surprising, though, since, for example, "The Funeral Portrait" and "Serenity-Painted Death" are easy-listening compared to "Forest...

    Blackwater Park and Still Life

    About the look-alikes: Personally, I was more surprised by the fact that they're both named Martin... The Scratch: Is the end of "Serenity-Painted Death" the ONLY problem with your CD? If so, it most likely isn't a scratch; I can guarantee you that the song ends abruptly on all CDs... The...

    growling and clean singing

    All my practice so far indicates that I'll most likely destroy my throat completely before I figure out how to produce sound that comes "more from the abdomen area", but I WILL NOT GIVE UP, at least not until I can growl the line "passing swiftly through the moor" or perhaps "it was all true"...

    stirring the pot some more

    Hoser: I think you could be right, but since you've read multiple articles on the subject, I'm sure you're also aware of that many of your arguments were used back in the 1930s when it was decided that the Olympic Games of 1936 would be in Berlin. Optimists argued that the massive media...
