Cryptopsy and Demilich are the only two on the list I've really gotten into...

I was just gonna mention Carla and Otis...

Pain of Salvation's pair were the first two that sprung to mind, and are dually my most awaited releases this year. In regards to In Flames, I'm quite curious as to what they will come up with, given the nature of the Trigger EP and Reroute to Remain. I dearly hope they shall return to the...

Though this will only serve as a minor diversion to tides us over before BE hits international shelves, from these samples it already appears to the a worthy addition to the PoS discography. As it stands, Gildenlow and company have yet to record a song I've disliked, and Remedy Lane is far...

Like Starbreaker, Enemies of Reality was also one of, if not, my favourite album of the year, even though it begs to be played with headphones. I find it to be a bit of a blur unless I've got it going at a rather high volume. Production is terrible I admit, but it's still a worthy addition to...

From a personal standpoint, the beliefs of the band and the image they market mean very little, and I'll listen to their music if I enjoy the sound, as is a common line of thought around here. However, in response to Wicked, though I can understand why you'd want to keep listening to SotLB...

Suffocation Internal Bleeding Walk Inner Self Raining Blood Fairly popular choices it would appear.

No offence meant, but what are you going to do about it? While I acknowledge your point, and to some extent, sympathise with it, complaining about this isn't really going to do much. Even if IF, Soilwork and others of their ilk are being "altered" to fit "mainstream" ideals, when it comes down...

"Jon was besides being sentenced for assistance in the shooting also convicted for illegal possession of firearms." I was right.. :) Heh, I read that lengthy article about it all around a week or so ago. While some of that is obviously true, I doubt the sincerity of some of the minor...

Daniel Gildenlow - Pain of Salvation Mikael Akerfeldt - Opeth Ihsahn - Emporer Devin Townsend - DTB ...And a host of others...

I don't know. I enjoy listening to it, and do so quite often, but even when I hear it with a lyrics sheet I find some sections a tad boring. A large part of the work is admittedly brilliant (especially the first twenty minutes and the solo), but the female vocals, for example, take a lot of...

Emporer

Heh. Don't really know what to say to that, but I guess I'll agree. James is certainly in a better state than Geddy at this point in time. :p . I enjoy listening to both bands, but I think that on the whole I don't enjoy the Power sound all that much. From what little I've heard of it (I've...

Wasn't Jon arrested dually for manslaughter/being an accessory to the murder and also for ownership of illegal weaponry? Vlad on the other hand was also facing charges in relation to a teenage girl, (or was said to be) so perhaps that added on to whatever sentence he received in regards to the...

Though I do prefer Gildenlow's vocals outright, I won't deny that LaBrie is on certain songs, exceptional at what he does. In fact, he is (good at what he does) on the majority of DT tracks, it's just that I don't particularly like the sound he seems to reach a lot of the time.
