The first Taake record is really good. I wish I had the lyrics in English but whatever. I have not heard the other ones yet.
I know they are seen as a joke by a lot of black metal fans but I'm going to see Dimmu Borgir tonight.
It should be a kick ass gig especially with Amon Amarth supporting.
Well, to be honest a lot of the black metal fan base is a joke. I had planned to see Dimmu earlier in the year, but never went.
Yeah I agree there. The black metal fan base may have shunned Dimmu Borgir but so what. I like them and that's all that matters to me.
I agree. Plenty of non-elitists don't care for Dimmu Borgir. I was referring to those who shun the band purely for their departure from several aspects of the black metal aesthetic.Not liking DB has nothing to do with being an elitist.
Virus's Carheart is probably one of my top 10 favorite records of all time, with "Road" probably being my favorite song. it's such a fucking...different album. It's weird, it's lonely, it's slightly disturbed...so good.
Also, the last I heard was that the VBE/Virus reunion was sort of up in the air. There was a rumor going around that it wasn't going to happen.
edit: note, this could easily be one of those love/hate records. if you're a VBE fan, chances are you'll enjoy it
The Ved Buens Ende project is completely dead, but Virus is its continuation of sorts.
Have you heard the Ved Buens Ende rehearsal from July 2006? It's a real tease, the material is fucking excellent as expected. A real shame we will never hear it properly mixed and completed.
