Well, Death and Necrophagist are much heavier than At the Gates, that's for damn sure. :Smug:
n00b question-Does Jaska have anyone related to him named Sami?
My bad- been away for a few days. Necrophagist's 2nd guitarist's name is Sami Raatikainen, no relation to Jaska (I actually got to talk to Sami, he laughed when I asked him that).
I saw Necro live in Philly Saturday night and they were FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!! They are amongst the top musicians that I have ever seen. Even better, they are the tightest live band I have ever seen, again minus Symphony X. You would think that such chaotic sounding music could never be reproduced live, but holy shit they are the real deal and then some. They all played everything note for note for note, and this music is WAY more complex than any Bodom riff (not to bash Bodom, this is very different music). The guitar sweeps were crystal clear, every solo was perfect, the drummer should be arrested for some of the moves he pulls off, and the bass player flys. For anyone who knows their music, they busted out Only Ash Remains! If you have not seen this band live yet, GO...GO NOW!
Now I have to wait until the 29th for Bodom...I LOVE going to good metal shows, there is nothing better.
Cool,yeah,I saw Necro too on Saturday,and also talked to Sami,he's really nice. It was the first time I heard/saw Necro,they were just great,I have to get more stuff from them.
Definately is my fav band.Then Dimmu Borgir,Papa Roach,Cradle of Filth,Metallica,Amon Amarth,Graveworm,Judas Iscariot an many others
+ONE... Immortal imo is like a crappy 5th rate Dimmu BorgirImmortal fucking suck. :zombie:
Are they a serious band?
Rage Against The Amish: Why do you only like the Norwegian stuff? By that you mean the lyrics right? Dimmu Borgir are fuckin awsome. It's pure black metal just like Immortal. I think Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy is the best album they have. Nicholas Barker made this album sound so good. He highly influenced their sound, and Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is a perfect example of what he adds. Anything done before him sounded like messy noise, but he made the sound sound really intense and crushing.
It's pure black metal just like Immortal.
It's actually leaning more towards a symphonic/thrashy sound than black metal. "Death Cult Armageddon" didn't really strike me as black metal at all. However, their older stuff is quite good as far as black metal goes.
Immortal fucking suck. :zombie:
