[Black Winter Day]

from the devin townsend review: "The material on this would sound so good after having smoked a fat joint "

interesting note, devy is my official "stoned music" (although TERRIA messes with you a whole lot more, i tried driving home one rainy night while high and listening to it and had to turn it off! not to mention that i thought i had driven into the next county. . .)

 

[Demonspell]

Great work on the Devin (Terria is also my favorite from him, pure atmosphere and one of my preferred headphone albums), Extol, and Alchemist reviews...

 

[JayKeeley]

That Mors Principium Est review reminded me that I still need to get the Omnium Gatherum CD. According to our OG review...

Anyone who’s been previously bored with melodic death metal, anyone who’s looking for the shining light in a sea of monotonous grey, anyone who desires to listen more closely and transcend what you knew before, take heed.

Yep, that be me.

 

[Ayeka]

Oooooh, Circle II Circle. Have to read that....

Mission accomplished.

Never in a million years would I guess that THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER hails from Detroit, Michigan, USA.

What are you trying to say here?

There are many good metal bands from Detroit, not that I consider Black Dahlia Murder one of them, because I don't, but there are good ones...

 

[JayKeeley]

I'll check out Black Dahlia on the upcoming Arch Enemy/Hate Eternal/Evergrey tour...

Well, I generally think of muscle cars and techno music when I think of Detroit, not a devout At The Gates following.

Hey, it is Detroit Rock City, after all!

Yeah well who would have believed that Def Leppard were from a small English mining town called Sheffield eh? I never even knew they were Brits until Hysteria came out, I swear!

 

[bloodfiredeath]

Techno music? I must be really out of touch with my surroundings...

 

[Weapon X]

And now a ball way off in left field..........Sorry hope you don't mind!

What a great review from Papa Josh on CIIC Watching in Silence. I couldn't agreed more even to the Queen comparision, which was the first thing I said when that song came on. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

Thanks Great review, keep up the good work!

 

[Demonspell]

One example of this happening to me was that I had assumed that Vintersorg was Norwegian and not Swedish...

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I really like the album a lot. In fact, if any one wants, I have a cardboard sleeve promo of it, and it's one of those where the entire cd is one track. I now have the real deal, and it is one of my faves at the moment. Expect an interview with vocalist Zakk Stevens in the coming weeks.

 

[Weapon X]

Will be waiting for that to interview to come. One of the best releases this year.

 

[HarmonyDies....]

"Not too keen on "Traveller," kinda boring and really just filler when stacked up to everything else on here."

I guess me and Dreamlord are the only ones who really like this song. heh

Compared to the rest, I just can't get into it, I fast forward it usually as there is just too much else to listen to.

 

[Demonspell]

Traveller is decent, but compared to the two songs that surround it, it does come across as being too simple for a man of Devin's talent...

 

[JayKeeley]

Hey just curious if anyone else has heard any Extol? I was quite shocked at how technical it was, and yet they could still maintain those cool, acoustic, clean vocalled moments. Good combo IMO.
