Indeed. There's no trick to it, like any skill it is acquired through patience and persistence. The key is learning how to make the most out of the breath in your lungs.

That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

I never had the opportunity to see them with Christian, but I recently saw them with the new vocalists and I thought they sounded good. Although I was drunk, so perhaps anything loud would have sounded good. Agreed The Illusionist and Mind Machine are two of their best songs, and fortunately...

1. Scattering 2. Buried 3. DoD 4. Tragedy Unfortunately, I've never heard the self-titled debut. I'd love to, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Name: "Malevolent" Mike Wise, aka, Epidemic Reign, aka Zydrate Junkie Favorite bands: Paradise Lost, Dark Tranquillity, Scar Symmetry, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy Something Unusual About Me: Fuck, I don't know. I have a lazy eye, and I've had surgery on it to give me the ability to control it...

Now this I find very interesting! Almost makes me wonder if Niklas was also helping Jesper Strömblad translate his guitar parts into proper music, as just after Colony was where In Flames began to tank :lol:

Very true. I understand completely, I've listened to the new Deftones album four times and I still can't quite grasp the appeal... but at least I'm fuckin' trying! Haha. The thing that first drew me in to The Few Against Many was their occasional use of Swanö-esque synth. Very reminiscent of...

A lot of people don't, and I find that understandable. Personally I'm a big fan and to be quite honest, I didn't become a fan until I heard Roberth Karlsson was joining the band. I've always enjoyed his work with Pan.Thy.Monium, Facebreaker, Edge of Sanity (the "Cryptic" album that most EoS fans...

Interesting. That does sound difficult! If my memory serves me Christian didn't write his lyrics in Scar Symmetry nor Miseration. In his other new band, The Few Against Many, all of the lyrics are Swedish except for two English songs written by Mikael Stanne and Jonas from Katatonia. I don't...

If your prediction comes true, and my prediction comes true, then you will forever be known as that guy who destroyed the internet. Are you willing to assume such responsibility?

If you're a Dark Tranquillity fan and haven't heard of this new band, this may spark your attention. Solution .45's debut album "For Aeons Past" was released a little less than 2 months ago. It features ex-Scar Symmetry vocalist Christian Älvestam on lead vocals, as well as guest vocals by...

White Noise / Black Silence. Especially live, it's fucking amazing. Some other favorites: The Dividing Line (great composition and lead guitar work, like all songs on The Gallery) Shadowlit Facade (hard to believe this is a B-side, definitely could have been one of the best tracks on The Mind's...

Ichi the Killer is one of my favorite Japanese films. The film's antagonist, Kakihara, is an excellent character played by a very good actor. I hear the same guy also has a role in the upcoming Marvel comics "Thor" movie.

If only we humans could do 3 things at once. You could be taking a nap, rocking out to Hannah Montana and reading that article all at the same time.

Your petition should specify that they headline. It would be a goddamn crying shame if they came all the way to Amerkka and didn't headline.
