I'm afraid I'm not accustomed to internet slang, so please decode that previous statement.

 

[Horus]

It means that I get +1000.

For wearing Chain mail AND tight leather pants, and NOT going to a Gay Bar, you loose 1001, that's minus (-) 1001.........

I can't stand Double Burger.

OOPS, I meant Dimmu Borgir.

I like their bass player's clean vox. I haven't heard much of their stuff though. Awesome instrumental portions, but I can't for the life of me get into the growls.

 

[SilentRealm]

^ same. Instrumentally I love dimmu, but somethin about black metal vox I still cannot tolerate no matter how hard I try

While I'm not much for dimmu (demon burger as I've heard it called), Arcturus's Sideshow Symphonies is fantastic

The vox is a nice change in my opinon, especially mixed with clean vocals. It also sounds like someone in that band has been to the conservatory. Too bad they're wasting it on satanism.

It would be great if Shagrath did death growls instead.

I can't stand Double Burger.

OOPS, I meant Dimmu Borgir.

They're way better than Ulver or Nile.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

yeah fuck nile.

 

[Matt]

Nile makes me laugh with their idiot chanting and crap. Dimmu actually writes music.

 

[Matt]

), Arcturus's Sideshow Symphonies is fantastic

Arcturus is awesome but Dimmu pwns them.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

everything vortex does is awesome. Dimmu = teh numba !1!

I just saw on my msn messenger news that Black Sabbath is reuniting with Dio.. that could be interesting..

from http://www.ronniejamesdio.com/

The highly anticipated reunion of Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward appears to be shaping up and taking a new form.

After various promoters have approached their respective management; the guys have started taking all of this very seriously, as they have wanted to reunite for some time now. It looks as if the new shape may be that of Heaven and Hell. Yes, that's the moniker that the band is likely to use on their new venture.
If all goes well, Heaven and Hell should be hitting the road in early 2007.

UPDATE #2: I got written back again by Tony's people and said that it is an official announcement; it now also appears on Tony's site with this language:

Heaven & Hell – Dio, Iommi, Butler, Ward: Official Announcement
The highly anticipated reunion of Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward appears to be shaping up and taking a new form. After various promoters have approached their respective management; the guys have started taking all of this very seriously, as they have wanted to reunite for some time now. It looks as if the new shape may be that of Heaven and Hell - that's the moniker that the band is likely to use on their new venture.

The end of their email said this, so it's looking like it's official now. "But yes, it's all official, that's the official statement from all camps. No doubt you'll be adding it to the Butler and Ward websites pretty soon!"
