    Who downloads/who does'nt

    There's nothing unethical about that in the long run since you're still buying music. You're just not buying everything you get a chance to hear. But it's unrealistic to expect that of anyone in an age where you can download 50 albums a day.

    Dimmu Borgir vs Cradle Of Filth

    Neither band has done anything essential, in their prime or otherwise. But CoF gets the edge for releasing some surprisingly good albums in the last decade. Dimmu not so much.

    Metal's Most Maligned Sub-Genres (And The People That Listen To Them)

    MA HQ has clearly built a state-of-the-art science lab where they can perform a quantitative analysis to determine which bands are "close enough." There's probably also an app for that.

    Best DM album of 93.... had to do it!

    Covenant out of that list, and probably even including all those not on the poll, of which there are several gems.

    bands that get on EVERY tour

    I'm pretty sure that at any point in time, there's always one such band. Some I can remember: Krisiun Warbringer God Forbid Diabolic Goatwhore

    Worst album cover

    Honestly, I think this wouldn't seem so bad if not for the band name and album title.

    What's the deal with long band names

    While some of these names are abhorrently strange, many aren't exactly bad. They just happened to have been appropriated by bands that cultivate that particular image, logo style, overdone/overhyped sound, etc.

    What's the deal with long band names

    The main problem is that words such as prom, cowboy and Reno are unacceptable choices for metal band names. And Tuesday is the least metal day of the week.

    Immortal has their own flavor of gum now?
