    Anyone need some new band logos?

    If you're interested in doing another, I could use a good new logo for my band, Nocturnal Sun. It's not really a band, just me. The first cd was all dark atmospheric guitar pieces, but my 2nd cd I'm trying to put together some death metal pieces, so I could go for a death metal-type logo...

    why listen to satanic lyrics?

    Jesus Saves: Hey buddy, guess what. The world don't stop for you, so get used to people listening to satanic lyrics. There ARE people out there who do listen to those lyrics and feel quite strong about them also. Yes, it's very weird that people listen to lyrics giving praise to Satan. but then...

    power metal, the guilty pleasure

    Sure, I like power metal. I'd give a big HELL YEAH to Blind Guardian, Nevermore, Hammerfall, some Stratovarius, Symphony X, Nightwish, Stormwarrior, Children of Bodom, Iron Maiden, and sometimes even Thy Majestie. Sure it's cheesy, but it takes fucking SKILL to be a good musician in the genre...

    Favorite Metal Drummer

    Flo in Cryptopsy's old stuff. Lost the name of the cd. Also Nick Barker "on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" and Old Man's Child's "In Defiance of Existence." I love NB's technicality on everything.

    Dimmu Borgir Puritania Flash Music Video

    I agree. Insanely wicked. I only knew some of the message of the lyrics, but I know the whole message now after seeing them lined up with the pictures that way. Anyway, very badass.

    Lords Of Chaos

    You must be kidding. The book is mainly about Varg, and he contradicts himself so many times in the book that it's not even funny. Worthless piece of shit book, unless you like the pictures. Ahh yes those pretty pictures of random black metalists and Dead's entrails. Not even worth buying, you...

    Dimmu Borgir at Ozzfest '04 official

    But how is that different than 90% of bands? Power chords are the essentials for metal and they always have been. Look at the Black Sabbath days, old Metallica days, Judas Priest days... they ALL used power chords to dominate their songs. If you were talking in your own opinion, you might...

    Dimmu Borgir at Ozzfest '04 official

    Slipknot sound nothing like Dimmu Borgir, Corey and Shagrath's screams are worlds apart and Galder/Silenoz's technicality and coordination far surpass anything Slipknot has done guitar-wise. Lastly, if you bothered to take a good look at what DB really is, you would see that Vortex handles clean...

    Dimmu Borgir at Ozzfest '04 official

    In your opinion, yes. That's the beauty of music. It's not definite and it's open for interpretation. You may not like the sound now, but you cannot directly deduce that DB are 'selling out' because to you they sound like 'alt metal.' Anyway that is for a different topic. Want to bitch about...

    Dimmu Borgir at Ozzfest '04 official

    No, sadly The Darkness does not appear on the official list. That was just rumored before the anouncement of the official set list. Also, I didn't say anything about Judas Priest because Dimmu Borgir was a surprise, Judas Priest was not.

    Dimmu Borgir at Ozzfest '04 official

    Finally, it has been made official. Ozzfest is finally getting a decent unholy kick in the ass. This year's lineup looks very badass and I think it will be one of Ozzfest's best years (with exception, of course, for those dumb shits we call Slipknot). I agree that Dimmu Borgir are selling out to...

    New In Flames avaliable

    Clayman was the pinnacle of Studio Fredman goodness and they made a badass album from it. Reroute to Remain was, if anything, 2 steps down for the band. They got away from Studio Fredman and their sound changed quite a bit. R2R is NOT Clayman, Colony, Whoracle, The Jester Race, or any of their...

    metal guitar advice?

    Haven't tried the X2ns but the Duncan Invaders work pretty well also. And pretty much everyone is right when they said its not the guitar that matters, it's the skill of the player. Stevie Ray Vaughan could pick up a cheap $100 Fender Mexico strat and make it sound just as good as his custom...

    Incubus Returns!

    Yeah, I just burned the cd so it will last me a week until the real thing comes out. It sounds FUCKING GREAT. The title track, A Crow Left of the Murder, is my favorite so far along with Pistola. Mike really has stepped it up on guitar technicality on this record. I even sensed some very Steve...
