Yeah apart from that. In Billy's wprds they've got enough material recorded for over 10 more albums if he wants to release it

Actually I don't think he was laughing at me, but at my 'no laughing' joke. Nevertheless, I have heard Dissection, yet I don't feel the need to be reformed from liking the bands I mentioned. I don't care about 'the real deal'... I just like what I like. I know many people don't like Dimmu Borgir for whatever reason, but they're not as commercial as Katatonia, who you appear to be a fan of.

And Old Man's Child is plastic metal and to me quite boring....

 

[Evisceratrix]

actually, i like a lot of commercial bands. whether a band is "commercial" or not does not dictate if i like them. and i would seriously contest that dimmu is less commercial than katatonia-at least thats the case where i live...at least one dimmu cd is always in stock at the commercial as hell nationwide-chain store i work in. while the only way ive been able to get a katatonia cd in the store is by special ordering it for myself and sneaking it out on the shelves. they wont send katatonia in our regular shipments. and i cant even get the tonights music ep through my store, theres "no listing" for it...

and look-i was just being silly about the "reforming" you shit. sorry it came across otherwise! really, dont take me so seriously!
in fact i actually own every cradle of filth cd and listen to them on occation...i just think the gothic romantisism shit gets old, and wanted to suggest some other stuff with undoubtably superior content. thats all.

Bullshit, Katatonia is absolutly uncommercial. and Borgir selling 5x-7x more CDs than Katatonia. Anyway I don't think than DB is commercial band also. Its not fucking backstreetboys...
Melody = Commerce? Idiotic vision

Hehe, (I hope) they know I was joking. I've never actually seen the point in reforming people, if they like the music, good for them! I mean I like nsync!

 

[ColdDarkNord]

I mean I like nsync!

Lets call them like N'SynK-atonia

 

[Descender]

Exept KATATONIA : Tritania, TOT, Cryhavoc, Sentenced, Satyricon, Moonspell, My dying Bride ... and so on, but those are the best

 

[requiem]

Well, obviously I don't think Katatonia are commercial in the sense that they sell copious amounts of albums. I was referring more to the accessability of the music. My girlfriend quite likes Katatonia, but she hates Dimmu- not because she thinks Dimmu are pawns of the fashionable black metal movement out to make their fortune- but simply because they're too extreme for her tastes.....

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Katatonia hands down. I just never really understood why Dimmu gets so much shit. Yes, they are pandering to an image (show me a black metal band that doesn't), and yes, I'm sure much of what they do is dictated by album sales. Nevertheless the music is still fairly extreme, and after all, it is the music that counts. Polished as hell; melodic; whatever, but still unlikely to be played on commercial radio.

 

[Evisceratrix]

well, ill give them this, their singer had a damn sexy black skirt thingy on when i saw them live. heeh..not that he was sexy, he definately wasnt. the skirt was. i want to design clothes so i look at these things
nicholas from COF was with them, and that was cool. he seemed like a really nice guy....i think its funny, of all the concerts ive been to, between the blackmetal and death metal and blah blah blah, of bands that utilize this "evil" image, you know only person ever seemed really evil and scary to me? and that was the lead singer of bile. a dude in an industrial/techno band-how weird is that? no corpse paint just sickness. i couldnt talk to the dude he freaked me out so bad!

I mean I like nsync!

haha LOL i go with the backstreet boys myself...after that alcoholism shit happened with the one member, they are like the motely crue of pop!

 

[Russell]

I would just like topointout the was vital in that post and u missed it out

 

[Orias]

Requiem - there are hundreds of black metal bands not just pandering an image. How can say that? Every band has their own image, but they are not always for the image, or using the image as a main selling point such as Dimmu or Cradle. I would say Emperor has a definite image, but they haven't used the black metal "look" as a selling point since "Nightshade", & what about Ember or Impaled Nazarene? They don't "pander" to an image, they pander to their music.

I think you mean 'Nightside' rather than 'Nightshade', but I understand where you're taking this. I've seen live photos of Emperor with Isahn's eyeliner and plastic spikes on his shoulder from about a year ago...

And was it not a band called Imapaled Nazarene who so tastefully posed for a photo shoot with shotguns?

Image indeed...
