I've never been able to get into deathcore. To me it just sounds like shitty overproduced modern death metal with a twist. I'm not saying that there aren't any good bands, but I certainly haven't heard them. The overproduction in deathcore is truly fucking astounding though. I'm not even sure...

Mordor - Csejthe Vitam Eternam - Blackened Dreams of Nocturn Ebonylake - On the Eve of the Grimly Inventive

Agalloch - Of Stone, Wind and Pillor

Throes of Dawn - Pakkasherra Throes of Dawn - Dreams of the Black Earth

Incredible album. Minute of Decay, Man That You Fear, Mister Superstar, Tourniquet...so many fantastic songs. Still to this day, one of the best albums I've ever heard, along with the utterly brilliant follow-up Mechanical Animals.

One of my most treasured CDs in my collection. The harsh vocals can be quite irritating, but everything else is fantastic. I recommended it to those who enjoy that synth-oriented style of black metal, most prevalent in mid-90s Norway.

North - Thorns on the Rose (Astral Wings '95) Primordial - Imrama (Cacophonous '95) Lord Belial - Unholy Crusade (No Fashion '99) Tearstained - Monumental in It's Sorrow (Mordgrimm '99) Burzum - Umskiptar (digibook) Ihsahn - Eeremita (digibook) Deathspell Omega - Drought...

I'm sure a lot of black metal fans are familiar with this similarity. At around 1:50, it sounds like a riff in The Unforgiven. Apparently, this demo is from '88 and I believe Metallica recorded their song in '90. I think it's highly unlikely that Metallica stole from a Darkthrone demo, but it...

I prefer Behemoth's black metal phase, and Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) to anything else they've done.

Is Darkthrone slowing down or something? It's been about 2.5 years since their last album.

Oldboy is an excellent film. But it really took me a second viewing to fully appreciate it.

Is there a last.fm scrobbler app for ipods/iphones that actually works well? I've tried using a couple different ones in the past but the results were inconsistent. I basically gave up on last.fm because of that.

Not sure, but I do think Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is very, very underrated.

I prefer Agalloch's first three albums to their last one but I still like everything they've done. I do miss the goth influences of their first two albums though, the Fields of the Nephilim sound. I just ordered Faustian Echoes. Figured I might as well buy it now before it costs me an arm...

I own their first two and I got them for about $20 each. These should be harder to obtain and should be worth a lot more money but for some reason I often see Angelgrinder being sold for around $40. Sometimes even around the $60 mark, or as cheap as $20. I have no idea why; it's not that old of...
