And Justice for All (blackened and AJfA, a one-two punch) or Ride The Lightning (fight fire with fire) truth is, while i like each of the classic three, i wish i could take the best songs from each for one super-album. They never quite put out the "every song perfect" album for me, tho none...

im listening to the whole promo cd.. its on dc++ anyway, its pretty damn bad. very simple and un-innovative. literally, there is nothing going on in the 5-6 songs ive heard so far. perhaps its too much to expect another dimension hatross... Oh, and the lyrics are shit too...

if Yes were a 10 on the prog scale, I would say Katatonia is more like a 1 or very generous 2. Not to put them down, but theirs is extremely simple music not much different from the abhorred country Satori mentioned (in that, I mean regards to structure/complexity-- on both micro [riff] and...

if you like king, you should read "The Gunslinger" its one of my favorite series... mainly the first book. whenever i read it, i end up having post-apocalyptic dreams for the coming weeks... mmmm. The other books in the series kind of flounder at parts but are still good. Theyre the last...

i wonder when theyll have a new cd out... i hope its just as crazy as obscura. that cd just oozes style

heyas all... since ive tried the other musicians lists (craigslist, sfmusician) in the bay area with little luck, i thought id try here as well. My band is looking for a drummer. Someone with good double kick skills and who can play fast 16ths with little problems. Blast beats a plus too...

i love obscura.. the first track is the best! the only thing about that album is that his high wheedling voice sometimes gets really scratchy and annoying. makes my eyes want to water... i want to hear them play those songs live. Unfortunately ive never seen gorguts bootlegs on the...

i was at nile last night, sucky ass SF industrial area.. car got broken into... ANYWAY! Here is the nile set: Chapter for Transforming into a Snake Serpent Headed Mask Howling of the Jinn The Blessed Dead The Black Flame Execration Text Smashing the Antiu Ramses Bringer of War Wind of...

markgugs-- nope, i teach and tutor english though. it would be fun to write for a zine someday, though id have to properly punctuate/capitalize my lazy writing... i am working on a nile website (on the backburner now though :( ) at which I plan to more eloquently publish some of these...

Actually, the "flavor of the month" is to hate Nile. Extreme metal fans (ie. those with a mind to even hear the music) call them out on everything from gimmicky to merely commonplace, while metal fans unaccustomed to this kind of progressive music say its just noise. I can't argue with the...

worst opeth moment? dunno if its been said, but the whispering at the end of night and the silent water. good song, but i always cringe at that part... its "oh so spooky." Artistic liscense only goes so far im afraid

Stinkfist-- exactly, haha, i hate to it say it but whoever does the narration sounds like a fruity american in the words of seinfeld: "not that theres anything wrong with that", hehe, but it ups the ante for laughter ;'D

i think rhapsody's riffs and melodies are good for what they are, but theyre very angular and rigid. I guess that's just their style. I like the band (listened to them a lot in france last summer with a friend), i just think its funny how THEY get labeled "progressive" metal, when theres stuff...

you know what the best part of rhapsody is? the spoken word sections! bad english+bad narrator+cheezy content==laugh-a-roni "The power of the dragonflame was realizing what had only been IMPOSSIBLE" "Oh goddd... oh god... Dargor... he did it!" and many more i can only half-remember...

anyone heard this band? I d/l-ed mp3s of their cd "Elvenefris" today off direct connect. These days its really hard for me to get inspired by music; I often hear things I "like" marginally, but none I love. Well, the curse has been broken... I highly suggest this band to fans of bands like...
