[Demonspell]

<<The Gathering - Even The Spirits Are Afraid (if it's the first track )>>

It's the second. Normally I wouldn't make the correction, but since we're dicussing inability to remember song titles, I find it appropraite.

 

[NAD]

That being said, the first track on Souvenirs is stupendous, whatever the hell it's called.

Just looked it up, it's called These Good People.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

NASHEIM- Evighet (not sure when he wrote it...but promo says 2003!!)

That's nice. If you liked that... you'll like the new songs more. I think we've decided to send the RC promo to you as you reviewed the promo and so on. The song was written during 2002 (there's a rehearsal recording around from sometime in October I think) but recorded in early 2003, so I think it qualifies.

 

[Shakermaker]

Nokturnal Mortum - Novaja Era mechej
Falkenbach - Donars Oak
Devin Townsend Band - Deadhead
Nevermore - Tomorrow turned into yesterday
Negura Bunget - II

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[Hell Mike]

The rehearsal recording Erik speaks of is fucking great. To get that sound using that poor equipment (tape recorder from sometime around 793 AD) should give us a fucking medal.

 

[Erik]

Thought I'd upload this rehearsal recording if anyone wants to hear Nasheim anno 2002 (with major guitar fuckups towards the end, courtesy of yours truly)...

Nasheim - Evighet (Rehearsal 08112002)

 

[Black Winter Day]

sweet avatar, papa!

 

[Papa Josh]

sweet avatar, papa!

Thank you. I've been on a FW kick as of late (hell, when am I not??) and now JayKeeley is absorbing the double volume cassette I sent him.. conversion is around the corner!!

And Erik, I would absolutely love to hear the new stuff, I'll be stalking the mailman/woman til it arrives! Plus, I'll make some tapes and start filtering it around to some people to get the word out. There's a metal show here that a friend of mine runs and I'm sure i can get him to play it on the air.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

yes, sweet avatar papa josh... though a "A Pleasant Shade of Grey" avatar would be even cooler

While I do enjoy that album and even have the live vhs of it in its entirety, I prefer pre-Parallels Fates.

Night On Brocken-Perfect Symmetry are the best.

 

[JayKeeley]

From what I've heard thus far, Spectre and Guardian have some good shit.

So here's what I don't get: Prog fans in general worship FW, but then dismiss Iron Maiden?? What's up with that - you couldn't get more Maiden worship than early FW.

 

[Hell Mike]

PJ, orders from America could probably easily be done directly from the label, Intolerant Records. Feel free to copy if you like but I just thought that might spare you a little work.

They also tend to dismiss the Arch albums in favor of the later progressive material...and I'm in that camp. And most of the prog metallers I've spoken to respect Maiden.

Anyone who dismisses Spectre Within or Awaken the Guardian should be drawn and quartered.

 

[Black Winter Day]

indeed!

i've cried to the song "guardian" before

and that groove part in "the enchantress" ("children of darkness dance in the coven...") is soooooo fucking badass

Guardian is beautiful, Frank Aresti's solos in that are just amazing.

and that groove part in "the enchantress" ("children of darkness dance in the coven...") is soooooo fucking badass

You mean "The Sorceress," but fuckin' hell yeah, bad ass!!!!

One of my faves is "Epitaph" from The Spectre Within.
