So I'm going to make an effort to include links on my posts whenever possible so that it's as easy as possible for any interested parties to check out a band with a mere click. Additionally, I think I'll try to throw up a link to a cool band every now and then under this link-n-learn thing. If you're interested, click it. If not, don't. I'm not looking for anyone/everyone to love or like what I link but I'd expect some intelligence in any responses. If you haven't heard a linked band since 1981, don't tell me they suck because they sucked back in 1981. Try it or don't but don't be a fuckwad. Thanks!
So my first link, Tiamat, comes as a result of the Porcupine Tree/mellow metal post. To me, this band is every bit as metal as Slayer only they are on the polar opposite end of the metal spectrum. This is atmosphere and to my ears a totally metal atmosphere. I think it's safe to say that not many of us here are living the Tommy Lee circa 1985 lifestyle everyday and as such I think this has a place in anyone's collection. This is "chill" as the kids say today.
Is it boring? Yep, to those who want to slam their heads all the time. For those of us that have other feelings and senses, this is a bad mother fucker of a band. Download the "Divided" track under the multimedia section to try it out!
Finally, this is NOT the same style of Tiamat circa 1995!! This band has turned into something completely different and for my 2 bucks, they are a welcome breath of fresh air. Personal favorites: Judas Christ and Skeleton Skeletron.
