@goth_fiend...nice pics...I only got to see Roy after my show...and you saw Simone!

@Ptah...thanks man, I'll grab that vid once I get home from work...damn overtime! I see a bunch of people over at the Kam forum freaking out because they did/didn't see the video before it was pulled from myspace

I pissed myself when I saw the reactions in that thread.

Crazy video....involves a girl getting raped...twisted...I like...and no, I don't just like it because of the rape...I just like the twisted, dark nature of the video...

 

[Meedleyx10]

for those who would rather just watch it without downloading it's been uploaded to youtube.

Cool video!

Solitaire's reaction was the best...

"Jesus Christ.....I'M REALLY HORNY!"

So, who else here is fucking sick and tired of Mattias Noren? *Raises hand*

I mean, he pulls out an awesome cover here and there (present discussion topic included, it is pretty impressive) but jesus fuck, he's copying himself at this point.

100% agreed. Much of his work is great. However, he's become stagnant with some of his concepts and redundant with color schemes, not to mention just the overall "feel" of his album covers. Too much of a good thing can lose its luster, and I think he's proving that. Certainly there must be someone else out there who could bring a breath of fresh air to the album art of this genre...

In some locations, rape is known as "criminal sexual assault." I wonder how Kamelot feels on the issue.

And in other place it is called good clean fun.

Don't make me call Benson and Stabler!

I'm not sure exactly which jurisdictions (aside from Illinois) it's known as criminal sexual assault. I think it may also be a more "PC" way of saying "rape," e.g. "Did you collect the sexual assault kit?" as opposed to "rape kit." It just sounds more professional and less "dirty," although in essence it is the same thing.

Perhaps Ghost Opera will clarify the confusion.

From what i understand, most law enforcement officers aren't worried about sounding PC... at least not around the office. Or out in the field... But i do see where you're going with this.

You're right about that. The term seems to be used more often among those who aid law enforcement, such as medical professionals and lawyers.

 

[Phanto]

listened to it a few times now. I guess it's pretty good and a lot of people will love it but personally I'm pretty tired of their "black halo" sound. hope they cut down a bit on pompous chorus with female backing vocals and orchestration for the next album.

 

[IntoPhagist]

really? this album seemed like they they did cut down on all of that....and its pretty decent, not better then there last 4 though.

 

[Horus]

I'm thinking I should just learn the song Ghost Opera and try covering it at a show before the album's even out.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

That would be quite impressive. You should cover all of Systematic Chaos and Paradise Lost before they're released, too. That would be quite improbable.
