Somehow I got a feeling that Stanne is not the problem.

It doesn't necessarily have to be "they" are the ones who got a weird way of doing things. Could be their label insisting on doing it like that, you want to be able to tour immediately when an album drops, even if its not a very long tour. And the main appeal of this band are its members and the...

Well, they've been a band for 5 years at this point. It wouldn't be that weird if they had a lineup change. From my understanding Niklas is the main driving force of the band anyway. Shame about Jesper, didn't know about his arm. That dude just can't catch a break, be it voluntary or not.

I was reading a thread about the single on reddit and stumbled upon the same comment. I didn't mind it until now but now I can't unhear it. Reddit is also quite upset that its not a melodeath supergroup, I don't know what those people expected. Anyway I was checking out THE social media and saw...

Sounds quite a bit like 90s Paradise Lost. Nice chorus, Stanne sound good when he allows himself to slip into more poppy sounding melodies like this. If I absolutely had to nitpick I'd say the bombastic accents before and after the last chorus were unnecessary and didn't fit all that well...

Thanks for checking it out! Yeah your 90s-2000s description sounds about right I agree. And I'm aware how nonsensical it sounds to a non-speaker in terms of singing and lyrics. It's a fairly new-ish band, we released a 5-track EP about a year ago, and this a brand new single that I posted just...

So my band just released a music video for our new single. Won't bore you with details much, I'l just say it's completely DIY and low budget, music itself is some kind of mixture of metal, hard rock and grunge and guitars are fairly melodic. I play bass by the way, also lyrics are in Serbian...

This could be a decent project musically, I know Stanne is a big fan of Sentenced, DT even covered them at some point. Vanhala is a good dude and I've been following his stuff for a long time now but for every truly stellar melody he writes there are 20 others that are completely similar to one...

I was never super into it either because it lacks substance but there is a very palpable, thick atmosphere to it that I really enjoy. Same with early 2000s Soilwork albums, Strapping Young Lad of that era, Fear Factory as you mentioned, maybe even the debut Chimaira record. B tuning, tight...

Unrelated to your discussion, I have just read that Mnemic are getting back together. This song was such a banger back in mid 2000s.

Maybe their weakest album cover since WaTV but I really don't care that much about these things.

Sadly they don't seem to be doing that kind of thing anymore. DT songwriting in the last 10 years is some really interesting stuff from the band's perspective. Guitar players are the least involved, most of the music was written by Jivarp (ex drummer who left recently) and Brandstrom. So it's...

First listen impressions: it's pretty interesting. Production is slightly switched up - guitars are slightly more upfront than on the last few albums, vocals are drenched in reverb but its not overwhelming - it might overstay its welcome when you are listening throughout the entire album but at...

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that they keep releasing songs with impossibly produced vocals only to proceed to never play them live?

Nowhere did I imply he was trying to engage in controversy. Just that he is weird as shit and the older he gets the more unfitting it becomes.
