AT THE GATES announces reunion shows!

[Dead Winter]

It's less aggressive and angry, which is why I like it.

I'll just never forgive ATG for spawning legions of unimaginitive drummers...maybe I'm just bitter.

 

[neal]

yeh, but tomas lindberg has more passion in his voice than any other screamer ever.

 

[Metal head87]

Am I the only person that thinks Heartwork is very overrated?
I'd probably still take it over Slaughter Of The Soul, though.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes you are. *nods*

 

[Metal head87]

Necroticism and Symphonies are amazing, but Heartwork doesn't really do all that much for me. It's not really a bad album, but I can't help but feel that it gets more respect than it really deserves.

 

[Dead Winter]

Well, compared to releases in the decade following it, yes, it doesn't really shine like it used to. Metal has gotten better and worse; the better part, however, has gotten A LOT better. Black, death, and doom metal increased in quality ten-fold over the years.

I liked Heartwork a lot because it had great grooves as well as death metal riffs.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Heartwork will always be my favorite melodeath album. I like more than Jester Race, even.

 

[MajestikMoose]

Heartwork will always be my favorite melodeath album. I like more than Jester Race, even.

BLASPHEMY

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Only by a wee bit though.

 

[MajestikMoose]

ok then, I forgive you.






THIS TIME.

 

[Dead Winter]

Jester Race is good, though. No, it's fuckin' excellent.

 

[Metal head87]

Yeah, Jester Race is brilliant.

As far as death metal goes, I prefer 80's-mid 90's death metal. Most of my favorite DM albums came out in this time frame. Same thing with black metal.

 

[neal]

better than Jester Race?! insanity.

 

[Dead Winter]

Which is worse, Jester Race/Come Clarity or Master of Puppets/St. Anger?

 

[Metal head87]

I'd say that In Flames released Reroute, Soundtrack, and Come Clarity.
Never liked Metallica, aside from their demos and first two albums, so I didn't really care about St. Anger

 

[neal]

hahaha ummm......in flames downfall because i was more aware of it happening. the black album came out when i was like 9 or something.
