Fredrik Thordendal is an alien

[azal]

While listening to "Sol Niger Within" today,it occured to me that no mortal earthling can write music so awesome, complex and bizzare.


this is truly one of the greatest pieces of metal art ever recorded.

*Cough*OceanMachine*Cough*
And I'm begining to have doubts about Mattias IA Elklundh.....

 

[Chromatose]

created by an unholy union

agreed, hard to touch that one

way better than that meshuggah whatnots.

 

[Chromatose]

yo Junk>> thanks for the wildhearts link, dude. I'm gonna read through the site.. learn more about 'em.

 

[azal]

ocean machine is up there dude, but these are two completely different beasts.

OM is about emotion, atmosphere.

Sol Niger is about musical complexity and mindfucking.

an yeah Chrom...he is totally a bizzare, alien death metal Holdsworth.

 

[Captain Beard]

Explain Sol Niger's style.

 

[azal]

ummm....have you heard Meshuggah???

well like that only ten times more involved and complex, with very bizzare "outside the box" type jazz/fusion style playing.

It' really hard to explain, it's a sonic mindfuck.

 

[Troyanasy]

Holdsworth rules OK

 

[Captain Beard]

Ech. Don't like Meshuggah, but my internal laws require me to tet new bands anyway. Here we go.

 

[azal]

not really a new band. Fredrik is Meshuggah's guitarist. this is a solo album.

 

[Captain Beard]

complex, huh?

 

[azal]

if you don't see the complexity in crazy polyrhthmic riffing and atonal guitar solos, the you really should be dabbling with this kind of music.


Meshuggah/Fredrik are the only dudes in metal IMO that play technical metal with a groove.

 

[Captain Beard]

I know. I'm rediculously picky, that's all. If NoLordy bashes your metal, don't take him seriously. Unless it's Zao, then he is truly attack the music AND you.
