Thanks for wnting to drum up some activity on the forum Nag...

I'm not much of a black/death kinda guy however the following tickle my fancy:

- Death (of course)
- The Forsaken
- Devastation (RIP a long time ago, but man were they good)
- Unleashed
- Morbid Angel

More importantly, I'm way into the new Nevermore and I've been listening to a lot of Devin Townsend (not SYL) and Rush. Wish I had more time to dedicate to listening to new music though.

 

[Nag]

I've been a rabid Prototype fan for 6 years now.. heh. I used to bug you guys when I was younger.

Well.. People were too lazy to type out "NaglfarCommando" on Programs and Games I played.. so I figured the Moniker 'Nag' would be helpful?


I actually have a photo of Me and Pat holding up the shirt you guys gave me here in Vegas 2002. I used to just bug the crap outta you guys on AIM. When I get back to San Diego I'll post it up for you guys to see. or shoot a link since its HUGE lol. [edit] AkumA would bring back some memories? [cough]

LOL I would have done that too, but so many of the bands I like defy categorization.

I like the "City Of Evil" album but their previous stuff does nothing for me.

Hold on to your hat, we'll announce the release date very soon.

 

[Nag]

There's a buncha stuff that came out 2005 I dig. Not the greatest year for Metal.. but A lot of great things out.. IE Naglfar - Pariah and God Dethoned- Lair of the White worm just to name a few.


New Prototype I see being great. [shrugs] in due time.

I'm really digging Trinity more and more!
there's something unique about it...

 

[Kain_Thornn]

I like Strapping Young Lad, I got "Alien" a few months ago and it literally changed the way I listen to metal...

 

[Nag]

really? I dunno about them.. heard a few songs.. nothing special IMO. Rather listen to Death Era Hoglan.
