Now THAT is trolling. Awesome work, guy!!

Wrong. I'm stating my opinion based on the video given. I suppose the Cradle of Filth comment wasn't necessary, per se, but I call 'em like I see 'em.

Not big on the symphonic metal sound, and these guys are basically a Japanese Cradle of Filth clone. 3/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLp-JgswVb4

I'd also check out Woods of Ypres, Wolves In the Throne Room, and Agalloch too. They're not strictly one genre or the other, but a combination of the two and several others.

People can usually get a rise out of me when they call metal "kill your mother" music. I'm pretty sure everybody has heard that one a time or two.

Best record so far this year... Christ Reifert's vocals need some work, though.

Rockin' out to some Tankard....

Not necessarily JUST like Shape, but check out Pantheist, Ahab, Evoken, Skepticism, Catacombs, and Corrupted. There are a million others out there, but some are just godawful.

Wolves In The Throne Room - Celestial Lineage

I'm not sure Iommi's riffs are responsible for the overall failure. I'd accredit Rubin's overproduction of vocals more than anything. Ozzy seems out of tune in several spots and his voice just plain overpowers the music throughout. Sad to see that their last effort was a poor one.

Aborym is pretty good. Also, Strapping Young Lad. They're almost the very definition of industrial metal.

Toxic Holocaust is always a sure bet/winner!!
