    Males and Females

    Even more so, the challenge and the chase grow to be more appealing than the end product, in my eyes at least. It's discovering a new person (physically, mentally, emotionally) that's exciting and deeply fulfilling for me; the sex itself isn't really the entire package. Also for those of you...

    Best of 2011

    Wormrot releases were both sick. Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand is far and away the best album for me this year.

    Blackstar HT pedals for direct in recording

    Hi guys, Had a little search with the custom Sneap search but couldn't find much at all on this, so apologies if it's already been discussed. Has anybody had any experience with DI recording with the Blackstar 'valve' pedals' speaker emulation output? Or alternatively straight in without...

    Your Favorite Death Metal Vocalists

    Fuck yes Iniquity! One of my favourite death metal bands ever. Also votes for Jason Mendonca, Lord Worm and Tomi Joutsen. Dunno how legit that is as it's off a live DVD, but daaaang.

    Sense of humor in Europe

    Based on my experiences in the US, it's just that you guys have a very different way of showing/appreciating humour. Everybody in the US is a lot louder and more flamoyant, so I think a lot of you wrongly perceive quietness/subtlety as a sign of awkwardness in Europe. I think it's actually kinda...

    Any ChthoniC fans here?

    They have some really badass songs. I still don't think they've written a classic album yet, they tend to peak here and there with filler elsewhere, but they've definitely got the potential. Seediq Bale is probably my favourite album so far.

    Good luck with the project! Would also like to make this useful and insightful contribution: Wormrot fucking rules

    Incredible live performances

    Hahaha yes, my neck was completely incapacitated by about halfway through the show. I also had a fucking BANGING headache going into it, was determined to just stand still and enjoy the music, but about 10 seconds into the first song and I was already windmilling like a moron. Embarrassing but I...

    Thoughts on Ghost

    Really enjoyed the album, don't think they are anything groundbreaking (obviously) or spectacular, but they knew what they wanted to do and they did it very well. Elizabeth is a cool ass song.

    Oslo bombing

    The book is fucking disturbing. I hope that, despite the fact that it is getting the publicity he clearly wanted it to get, not even the craziest far-righter is crazy enough to take it seriously and act upon it. If he has recruited even one more nutjob into his ridiculous little sect then his...

    Oslo bombing

    Every part of this is fucking tragic, both the cowardly nature of the attacks and the horribly right-wing initial response of the media/others. Hopefully if one thing comes of this it's that people realise that an extremist is an extremist, regardless of what religion/culture they are painted...

    Black Metal.

    For me, 'n Crugu Bradului is #1, followed by Om #2, Virstele Pamintului and Maiestrit ~#3. Virstele is quite different to the others (being a different line up and all) but still stands up as a great release for me. It's probably the most "accessible" album. Cunuoasterea Tacuta is basically...

    Black Metal.

    Kvlt post bro. I saw Negura a couple of times with the old line up and a couple of times with the new line up, first time with the new line up was my favourite show. That new guy Corb (i think) is a fucking excellent vocalist too, although I think he's left now or something. None of the...
