Don't let their name fool ya Zod - Destroyer 666 is an epic, mystical black/death metal journey. Damn accessible as well, but not in "teh ghey" way.
Any love for Old Man's Child?

I do know that he's totally enamoured with D666, so yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.

I've listened to "Slaughtersun" a few times, and I've never made it through. I haven't writtten it off yet. But so far, no go.JayKeeley said:

I'm sure you'll have ample opportunity at Heathen Crusade.

They have an autograph session in the early part of the afternoon, for almost 1 full hour I believe; I don't think there will be enough people there to need 1 full hour of autographs, lol, which ought to leave plenty of time for "fanboy" behavior.
Just remember, if you & JayK get out of hand, I will have to send you home.

No need to worry about us. JK and I will just softly weep onto each other's shoulders during "The Coffin Ships".MadeInNewJersey said:

Listen to the non-"Slaughtersun" tracks on the 2nd cd of the release (not the pure death metal tracks at the end of cd 1, but the entire 2nd cd). Those songs are much more progressive sounding to these ears - a magical black metal journey.

When I met him I proceeded to tell how much I appreciate Primordial and shit, but he just nodded and went on trying to sell me some merchandise

So I've finally given this album a couple of spins. Great, great production. Razor-sharp riffs and some good chunky thrashing, no doubt. But there is some blatant ripoffery going on, and really, at the end of the day? This is very forgettable music. I liken it to chicken McNuggets.
6/10, and I'm being generous b/c the album is definitely played very well.

Exactly what I enjoy about it.MadeInNewJersey said:

Fair enough. Now, imagine you only owned a dozen quasi-Black Metal CDs, almost all of which were recorded in the last few years. What rating would it get then?MadeInNewJersey said:

Good question. It's hard for me to say, because I don't only own a dozen of those sorts of records, but I'd probably have thought it was pretty darned good. Maybe in the 8/10 range? I'm not sure how memorable it would be even if I wasn't all that familiar with the style, but the music is well-crafted enough to the point where I'd most likely enjoy it.
Did that convoluted explanation make any sense, lol?
Zod, you'd really dig the latest Dragonlord album, btw, and I'll reiterate that I'm pretty sure you'd love the latest Graveworm as well. You might want to look into recent Rotting Christ also; kind of polished black metal with a beat, for lack of a more accurate means of describing them.

That's probably what I'd give it. I really like the style. It almost feels like dark Power Metal, ala older Evergrey, taken to an extreme, with an awesome production. However, as you correctly stated, the songs aren't exceptionally memorable.MadeInNewJersey said:

Cool. I'll try to hunt some of that stuff down. Keep in mind, I think what I really have a taste for, isn't just "polished" Black Metal, "polished" Black Metal cross-bred with Power Metal. Within the "extreme" metal genre, what I like seems to have no rhyme or reason. I do also love the very atmospheric stuff, that has a lot of tempo changes. I can't tollerate a CD's worth of blastbeats.MadeInNewJersey said:

I hear ya, I think I have a decent handle on your tastes right now, so these recommendations are with that in mind. Once I finish absorbing 2005, I'll be going through lots of records (to determine keep-or-sell status) and I'll be happy to make more recommendations. I KNOW I have a ton of stuff that you'd be into.
You want me to [cough] make either Graveworm or Rotting Christ available later on? [/cough]
That would be just dandy. Speaking of which, did you check your e-mail today? I think you'll pleased.MadeInNewJersey said:
