    personal statement.

    basically i came across some reviews, took a chance with all three albums, and by the time i came to the the last i was hooked. i like power metal but i rarely get to hear it heard played this way and the vocals are incredible.

    am i the only one?( arcturus reference)

    put the album back on to see where i had problems. garms definetly not bad but still not sure. simens backing vocals on the beginning of MofD are perfect when matched with garm. takes a while for me to get into him on this song. great lyrics but the vocal melody seems more designed to be like...

    someone please tell me if i have the right idea here if you can. i ve been moving away from using a pick so i can use more of the advantages that an all fingers approach can provide but i've found difficulty in keeping strings quiet while playing ascending scalar passages with an alternating...

    Opeth....

    very well put. my only qualm with the band is that they probably make the songs 1-2 min longer than they need to be.
