Agree completely. I don't know how anyone walks away from the Gettysburg trilogy unimpressed.JayKeeley said:

Fear Factory in their heyday is better than Nevermore any day. Seriously, Nevermore has never released anything as monumentally sound and important and stunning as Demanufacture. That record was WAAAAAAAYYYYY ahead of its time. It took Godlfesh's industrial and added blast beats, double bass, thrash and death metal.
Nevermore just pounds away on a formula, no offense.
Like I said, when most people think of FF, they think Digimortal or Archetype, neither of which is horrendous, but nether comes close to Demanufacture either.
and yes Blut Aus Nord blows.
Since I've never heard "Demanufacture", I can't comment. However, I think "Dreaming Neon Black" is light years ahead of anything I've ever heard out of Fear Factory.J. said:
I wouldn't say that. If they were simply pounding away at a formula, than there would be a good number of bands also using that same formula, and I just don't hear anyone out there that sounds like Nevermore.J. said:

There's an easy way for that to happen, the same way you're going to hear Demanufacture. :Spin:General Zod said:

really.
I wonder what kind of formula would that be, since there isn't any single band in the scene that sounds like Nevermore AT ALL.
must be a heck of a formula if ya ask me.

Yes.
Just because no one sounds like them, doesn't necessarily mean the formula is a good one. Look at Blut Aus Nord.
But I didn't.
If you consider that their singer isn't half as intense, doesn't sing with half as much variety, nor does his voice have one tenth the originality of Warrell's, than I'd agree. If you take into account that their guitar player doesn't write rhythms 1/10 as crushing, or solos 1/100 as bad ass, than I'd concur. If it's a given that their drummer isn't even from the same f**king planet as Van Williams, than we're on the same page. And if you discount that Mercenary's lyrics are clearly written by someone whose first language isn't English, while Dane's are quite intense and poetic, than I must admit, you're 100% right.JayKeeley said:

Yes, but no one buys Blut Aus Nord CDs but the parents of the guys in Blut Aus Nord and 2 or 3 freaks from Royal Carnage.J. said:

Agalloch is huge in the scene. I don't know where you get the idea that they are an RC-only band.
I owned all of the Slough Feg CDs long before I ever heard of Royal Carnage. Though, it was the influence of this board that got me to check out Hammers, but I had heard about them before.
So, I guess that leaves Drudkh for your theory

Agalloch's "Stone Wind and Pillor" MCD sells for $70 on eBay. The demo cassette is worth even more. Somebody offered me $200 for my shirt (granted that was my mum, but still).
I would also consider The End to be a $ tier 2 label now, just behind CM, NB, and MB. I'm sure their Omega distro alone destroys the business that any of the others do (at least in the US).
