Isn't it Soul Reaper?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I've seen it both ways, it is kind of vague...but iirc their CDs spell it "Soulreaper"...

It's Split on the cover, I looked. Doesn't really matter was just curious.

But anyone ever hear of a band called Year 200x. They play "video game metal". I actually liked the Metal Gear one. They have Mega Man 3, Contra, Metal Gear (Jungle Theme), and Journey to Silius on their myspace if anyone is interested.

EDIT: Are there any other bands that do this?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

There are a bunch of nerds who do that, yes.

 

[Caecius]

These guys actually released a CD of them, and it sounds good production wise. Guess they have some money to blow.

Toxic Holocaust - An Overdose Of Death...

Yay or nay?

Fuckin' yay. Except I dislike Future Shock.

Thanks mang.

Thanks mang.

It's very easy to find also. You can get it at Best Buy which scared me at first.

Yeah, I noticed. I was looking around in my local Sam Goody (same thing as FYE) and saw it. I was broke at the time though.

Powerglove, The Black Mages (They do solely final fantasy covers though) Megadriver (uploads all their music for free), Minibosses, NESkimos, Stemage (does metroid covers)

I gave Kataxu's Roots Thunder its first listen and it's much different from Hunger of Elements. Regardless, it's an excellent mix of atmospheric Black Metal and synth-work. Malign's review on M-A was a nice guide to lead me through the album.

 

[no country for old wainds]

WOULD YOU LIKE A KATAXU NO I WOUILD NOT LIKE A BOREDOM

The Halls of Eternity is decent.

It has a very clean production, which is cool, but imo symphonic bm works better with a kinda raw production (not sure why), and the bass drums should be clickier. But the main problem is uninteresting songwriting, poor vocals, and this general feeling of stupidity I get from the album. I, Madman was cool, though. I'll give it another listen, just not for a month or two.

Soulreaper ftw.

Hell yeah. I've been listening to this a ton, i.e. 5+ times in the last 3 days.

logo is split, but on the spine it's one word. I think Soul Reaper would be cooler, but w/e.

Listened to:
Pro-Pain - Foul Taste Of Freedom - this shit fucking sucks. End of story.
Chemlab - East Side Militia - Sweet. Industrial, I guess. I enjoy it. Great for playing games, too.
Crack Up - From The Ground - Disappointingly not like Heads Will Roll. More death metal, although still with that massive, badass guitar sound. Money Will Roll Right In is a great song, but the rest of the album didn't impress me.
Anacrusis - Screams And Whispers - Bored me, which was surprising because I heard good things about this. I'll give it another go, though; sometimes progressive metal albums take a couple spins to sink in.

Next up:
Post-Mortem - Repulsion
Grip Inc. - Nemesis

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

tbh they're named after the Dissection song Soulreaper, so I'm going with that, considering members of Dissection even formed that band

I like Life Erazer even better btw.

 

[waif]

Cool. I'll hunt that down sometime.
So far this bulk buy thing has been totally worth it. I've listened to <15 of the CDs and already 8 of them have been good-awesome. A good-awesome cd is totally worth $10, so that puts me ahead already. Sweet.

Toxic Holocaust - An Overdose Of Death...

Yay or nay?

Yay I guess. Nothing amazing, but cool riffs.

I have this HUGE NEED FOR COMMERCIAL BLACK METAL. Strange. I know.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Toxic Holocaust make me smile.

Commercial black metal, Alter? That's not very hipster of you.

 

[Alter]

I know. It's fuck strange. I need some later-era Dimmu for some reason.

Favorite albums at the moment, that I've been listening to and can't get enough of (band listed first, then album):

Artefact- Ruins (awesome melodic black metal, really great musicianship and atmosphere)
Myrkvar- Als een Woeste Horde (Viking metal; they use a drum machine, but the music is great so I'm willing to forgive it)
Kromlek- Strange Rumors... Distant Tremors (Viking metal)
In Lingua Mortua- Bellowing Sea/Racked By Tempest (avant-garde black metal; really epic stuff)
Falchion- Legacy of Heathens (folk/viking metal; similar to Ensiferum, but not as much cheese)
Fjoergyn- Sade et Masoch (symphonic black metal)
Enid- Seelenspiegel (symphonic metal, which touches of black, doom, and goth; they remind me of Virgin Black)
Profugis Mortis- So It Begins (extreme power metal; harsh vocals, really catchy melodies; oh yeah, and awesome violin parts)
