307 - They used to make songs that were more about one's feelings and thoughts than social/political commentary.

308 - DT fans tend to like bands like In Flames and Children Of Bodom.

309 - Since "Exposures", finding stuff by DT on p2p programs isn't all that hard anymore.

310 - They only have one dvd.

311 - They never let more than two years pass without a new album.

312 - They're swedish. :loco:

313 - Along with In Flames and At The Gates, they began what's known as "the Gothenburg sound".

314 - Though just about every website in existence classifies their music as "melodic death metal" and such, forum members refuse to classify it as anything but "Gothenburg sound".

315 - We're almost one-third done with this thread. :)

316 - There is much debate as to whether they're human beings or gods (it is clear, however, that they're not whales).

317 - DT's forum consists of humans, werewolves, sirens, depressive robots and more.

318 - They've toured more after "Character" than they ever toured after any other album they've released.

319 - Niklas uses more images and metaphors and writes more about emotions and thoughts, whereas Mikael is more "techy" and writes more about the world and the grim doom it will soon face.

320 - Niklas is an atheist.

321 - Martin B. doesn't like to be called gay or a hypocrite. (Now KC is really going to hate me. =P

322 - Martin B. rarely posts on the forum.

323 - Niklas is the band member who posts the most.

324 - Niklas helps rahvin moderate.

325 - The band members listen to other knds of music besides metal.

326 - I'm kind of inspired today. ;)

327 - A significant amount of the "facts" about DT we've posted here either aren't facts or aren't about DT.

328 - DT forum members have a strange sense of humor...

329 - ...And yet it is better than everyone else's sense of humor. :)

330 - According to Mikael, "Insanity's crescendo" is a kind of prophecy of the things to come.

331 - Whoa, i'm on a spree now (25 "facts" so far (counting this one)). :D

332 - DT forum members (with the exception of myself) never use the :zzz: smilie.

333 - We're one-third through by now.

334 - Mikael has performed both as a guitarist and as a singer in DT.

335 - As of 2006, they've lasted 17 times longer than Septic Broiler.

336 - The DT forum's colors are light grey and black. :Smug:

337 - The :Smug: smilie has gained a lot of popularity lately.

338 - The story thread has (unfortunately) lost popularity lately. :(

339 - Some DT forum members are characters in the story that's being told on the story thread.

340 - I didn't like "Day to end" much either back when i bought "Projector". Now i think it's alright.

341 - "Lethe"'s lyrics can be interpreted in at least two beautiful ways perfectly.

342 - "Character" is much more social/political commentary than any other album they've released.

343 - According to Caro, DT forum members are crazy.

344 - I agree. :loco:

345 - It's the first time i use that ^ smilie.

346 - I'm going to stop now. :)
 
347 - the legitimacy of facts in this thread, and their relation to something one might have noticed about the band, have been steadily plummeting since the beginning, to the point that by now i could probably reveal classified information and nobody would believe me.

349 - Since i've been caught redhanded by Cuthalion, i'll have to think of another plan.

350. It seems that a member of the DT board who doesnt want to be named understands the title of this thread and basically most of his activity within this board as "1000 things I have noticed about me". :p
 
351 - Another member of the DT board (who doesn't want to be named either) doesn't realize that, since a) i'm a DT board member and thus related to the DT board and b) the DT board is related to DT, i'm (indirectly) related to DT. ;)

(Okay, okay, you win.

Testify! Proper folky epic almost neoclassical influence. Totally the best bit on skydancer for me.

Seen as though no one will believe you anyway, tell us about :.::

:.::

Isn't that "Haven" spelled in Braille?

I thought of that too, but couldn't find proof... it could in Braille, but not for English, but I never made any serious research so far, just had a very satisfying idea :dopey:
 
RampageSword said:
I'll try and check on that. I'll find a blind man and ask him.

google it, just did, "h" = :., and : = ** , variable, and here we go:

:.:: <=> h****
 
There was a thread on this sometime ago if I remember, but I dont know if it was its own seperate thread or part of another. Although if you've been here long enough and have a decent memory you probably know what it means :D.

i shiver when people are so close to finding out that it stands for holy guacamole.

Funny, I was thinking about Hovering Black Baboons. But now that you say holy guacamole I'll have to rethink my entire process...
 
Fact 353: one of the DT secrets are: What means :.:: ??? (I tried it with braille when haven came out, bit it never gave sense)
354:another secret is where's the voice in the mind's eye from??(movie, series, moonlanding...)
