    Annihilation of the Wicked

    Nile probably get my vote for the fastest band on the planet. Though many mention Dark Funeral and Marduk. But anyway it is simply jaw dropping hearing those riffs and the drums play at this insane tempo. The production on this one is superb. A fearsome bunch of musicians truly dedicated to...

    Opeth - Ghost Reveries

    First off. The best review of this album I have read. I just dig what they have done here. It just progresses with a subtle intensity. The bass playing can be heard and is fantanstic. The lead breaks have gone up a notch and the vocals continue to improve every release. Drumming is also superb...

    Mastodon - Leviathan

    Brilliant and difficult album to digest. The bass playing is brilliant which underpins the whole colossal assemblage of riffs.

    Modes used in death/black metal?

    Well the modes listed, the Phrygian and natural minor scale and locrian which is a half diminshed scale. Look these are pretty much mixed and matched with chromaticism thrown in. But one things for certain the two intervals that make metal metal are the b2nd and the b5th. That is the basis of...

    You must read this review of Blackwater Park !

    Exactly....... Unless its some underground punk/metal pseudo rock thing its all shit to John these days. don't bother with SSMTB. Waste of your bandwith. He just seems to have the whinge button on 10 for some reason, and I know that review is pretty old but you don't see much metal reviewed...

    King Diamond - The Puppet Master

    The Puppet Master while not brilliant is certainly a trip.

    Nightrage - Sweet Vengeance

    After spending sometime with this album and continually being blown away by the Lindberg vocal insanity and the death come thrash technical thing I still love it. I guess long tern melo-death fans are always going to pick hairs with this so called supergroup. I just hope they deliver again...

    Deicide – Scars of the Crucifix

    The only two Deicide albums I own are Legion and the Cross. I have been meaning to pick up that classic debut for a while, alas. Scars of the crucifix is simply a blast of satanic death that got all my old Deicide albums off the shelf and a frenzied listen of old Suffo, Entombed, Obituary etc...

    My Comment On This Surprising Closing Of Opeth Off-Topic

    Well I have not been here for a month or two and find out the off-topic is gone. Well my feelings are that Opeth fans just tended to switch between the two. Of course I have no evidence. But hey it was fun and often was so close to the Opeth forum anyway. I mean I have been here just a few...

    What´s the most overated Opeth song?

    I just love the title track from Deliverance. It would appear in my most underrated song list. BRI remains an Opeth "stairway to heaven". Many people love it but I just can not see why it is regarded so highly. Orchid just blows it away for the most part. But as usual on this forum we are...

    Milking the Cash Cow

    It seems pretty stupid to get worked up about these re-releases and new packaging stuff. It is standard marketing practice that has been going on for 40 or more years. Probably a fucking century. Every consumable item has been repackaged at some stage. (One classic example is the humble...

    People who liked Opeth and now don't

    Well Damnation is brilliant. I listen to it more then anything else. So hey. My first exposure to Opeth was BWP, solid death metal with that Opeth twist. I think Orchid is great. The others I don't really listen to very often. I am sure there are many Opeth fans who love the band but have...

    Hi

    Hey I have been posting here since about April this year. And a big hi to any other dudes from Australia. Well I guess my biggest claim to fame was an Opeth Sucks topic which was endlessly debated and many people missed the point that I did not think Opeth sucks but hey. Regards...
