Any chance you'll be coming to the states to be playing any shows? Or am I going to have to fly over there? Or better yet, fly you guys over here? =)

BOSS equipment are built like tanks and aren't aesthetically pleasing. Digitech look pretty with plastic and stuff on them. Although they're also built well, they throw in all this extra stuff with the plastic and all that can snap off. I still have a BOSS ME-8 from five or so years ago, and...

You can listen to music at work? hah! I'm blindfolded all day and beaten until I cry, then I shovel the coal into the furnace. No music for me... me or my friends - we just shovel coal, then go on lunch. It's hot down there, in Hell. Hehe :) But seriously though, I would kind of expect that...

Wow. I dunno, but I have trouble relating "spitting and swallowing" as a metaphor for getting rid of hate. :OMG: :Shedevil: A bit of a reach there, Speedio. But anyway, Devin's work on this album is great. He really brought out Speed's vocals, and got the instruments more out front...

I was so inspired by the sheer incredible ambience and imagery put forth by Ulver's "Perdition City" that I based a whole series of 10 paintings on it, that are now hanging in an art gallery. The people who view them have no idea they're about said album, but that's alright. The vocals on this...

The "new incarnation of Dissection"? Oh wait - I missed this on the Nuclear Blast site... "Dissection are proud to announce that Faust will be their new drummer for their comeback after Jon Nödtveits' release the autumn 2004. The plan is that the band will start reharsing during the...

Nevermore's music is "uptempo"? wow, have I been missing something on all their albums? ;) I'm sure warrel didn't mean it out of spite. Just the fact that Nevermore isn't the fastest band out there (they're probably slower than most opeth songs, IMHO) and also they aren't uptempo indictates...

yeah lol ;) they're on the CD man! buy it! :grin:

Hey wars - Is there a place online where you can download it - like a trial version or something? What is the company that makes it? You can always get a "fully functional 30 day trial version" for example, then get a crack that removes the 30 day limit leaving you with a "fully functional...

Dimmu Borgir can use heavy keyboards, they're more of a gothicy sounding band (although still black metal). However I think having a church organ blaring through Opeth's sound would sound well - hilarious. I'd probably laugh my ass off if I heard Opeth with a big church organ in the...

Yes. The Crown is fucking amazing. 'Nuff said! :)

The album is pretty solid - Marduk returned back to their more "melodic roots" (like Those of the Unlight) but by no means have lost the brutality of the "Panzer Division"... disk. There are many cool riffs on the album a la Immortal and Legion belts out some of the most brutal black metal vocal...

Same as Nevyn! (what I think)

Whoa I just had a disturbing image in my head. It was one of a DJ at a rave club, announcing: "This is a new song by a band called.. umm... (turns around, asking his friend how to pronounce the name) Opeeth? Opeth. This song has some mad phat jungle beats in it friends, take out your ecstacy...

Well I think almost all albums Opeth makes are basically conceptual in some form or another. I think their songs are born in spontaneity, as the band doesn't practice very much before recording albums (at least that's what Mikael says) which is an interesting "concept" within itself. I guess...
