Hi, Praetoria out of Toronto (Oshawa/Whitby) are currently seeking a new drummer. Much competence and dedication is required. All influences go as long as a strong understanding of the fundamentals of "Metal" are present...Preferably powerful drumming; however, we are fans of versatility...

Yeah, I ordered a few things from HevyDevy the other day - well on SUNDAY! and it come today, which is incredible...and I'm listening to Accelerated Evolution right now. It's really really good. I have all Devy projects, but this one, it really epitomizes what we've been hearing for so many...

Well I can't only bash this album. A good convergence of the themes in morningrise, definetely has that vibe in it. Drums are also recorded well - they are quite prominent, opposed to the jazzier sound in their earlier albums. Good production - as in hearing everything, but not sure if...

as posts usually do, this one got way off topic. :)

Exactly :)

I was actually using the previous albums to emphasize what was good about "old" opeth in comparision to "new" opeth. I was trying to highlight certain elements that I thought were original and thought-provoking. Asskissing maybe - but I'll asskiss those albums till the day I die. They're...

Alright, just so I can somewhat proclaim validity in my analysis, I've been an Opeth fan since Morningrise, seen them live twice, blah blah blah. When I first heard Morningrise, I thought it was so incredible. The way they layered everything, to sheer complexity of each movement in each...

I feel like a bastard saying this, but I have to agree with Lina. I'm not as much of a fan of new Opeth as I was when I first heard Morningrise, or Still Life. When I picked up Still Life, and I heard The Moor, I literally was in absolute awe. It is so heavy, so textured, so colourful, so...

What are your guys reviews on the whole night? For the ones that were there.....of course :)

i would post some of our music here - we have a rough mix goin on right now....but i can't figure out how to post a portion of it.. and i can't really say much abotu us without either coming across as really arrogant or really arrogant in a humbled disguise :)

The band i'm in - "Preatoria" - is playing with Marduk on Jan 19th in Toronto. and feel incredibly wierd about that. cause it just kinda happened, i'm 17, and we're opening for a metal band that i used to listen to on my computer. Brings me to say that i'm both intrigued and petrified :) but all...

the very ending of When. the last riff with vocals. "when can we scream instead of whisper...." etc etc.....everytime i hear it it blows my mind. one of his best vocal lines. perfect mixture of rock and roll, and metal. genius :)

So what do you guys think of Prometheus? It took me a few listens, however a lot of really really good metal does, sometimes not though. Anyways, their way ahead of their time. Talk about metal 2006. It's competely changed my perception of music once again, just as Opeth did etc. Just wondering...
