Kataklysm, Vader, Destruction, Graveworm and a couple other play here in a month. also seeing vital remains, 1349, belphegor, impaled, necrophagist, emperor, celtic frost, etc soon.
yeah dude, emperor is one of my favorite bands, and i never thought id get to see them live. i flipped shit when i saw they announced -two- dates in new york city in july =p
actually they announced he will be, but for their first and only US show, tony lorenzo of nile will be playing, which sucks =/. when satyricon came over, trym played instead of frost
dude that guitarist looks like the sepultura lead singer now... not many blacks in metal.
oh and slasher saw ur picture on another gallery im getting long hair like that too soon1!! like, in a year :/ how long does it take to grow
man terrance (suffos guitarist) is so cool. when I roadied for misery index for a couple weeks, it was on tour with suffocation and behemoth. in montreal and quebec city, I swear terrance rolled at least 8 FAT joints straight, I've never been so high before. great guitar player
hmm, ive been growing my hair for a while(year or two), but i still get haircuts to trim it
nah, thats only for people who actually take the imagery/lyrics seriously, or try to be as 'metal' as possible. theres just a lot of great riffing/drumming/musically oriented death metal
how can anyone NOT take the lyrics seriously?
when a guy with his face painted white goes "GROWL OWL ROWR OWR GROWR RRROOOOARGHH", it just touches my soul.
That comment shows how little you know about the genre. And the fact that jamerio and two germans gave you a [+] makes it even more stupid. By the way do you own a macintosh?
Metal is tounge and cheek for 90% of people who listen to it. Listening to riffs that are fast, melodic, and make you want to run through a wall rather than tap your foot is the main thing. The lyrics about slaying dragons or about brutal ways of killing people just make it more fun. Dragonforce for example, is a total 100% tounge and cheek band, anyone who takes the music seriously will have every D&D set. Not all bands have to be like Gwar for you to know they don't really thirst for souls.
I do know that after some (un)lucky turns in life some people turn into average middle-class washed up trash, but just out of curiosity : What age exactly are you referring to, and when did expressing or going by primal instincts become an age-thing in the first place? Because if it's an age-thing, I suspect I must've either dodged it, or it's very very close. In the latter case, I'd rather borrow a gun and put some lead inside my head rather than live the rest of my life holding back on something.
sorry, but metal is one of the only genres, i would say the only genre, with the most typical, cliche, ridiculous band names. (maybe the other being some bubblegum-pop.)
wolfgang amadeus mozart is a better name than suffocation? just because its his real name and not a 'made-up' one? this is ridiculous metal composers arent fucking poets they make music you think they care about the verbal appeal of their band name?
Well of course many metal bands are very aware of theire image or verbal appeal. It's true that it's kind of cliche with metal band names, often you could guess it's a metal band from its name.
Who said metal composers can't be poets?
I'm a fan of metal btw, just tired of some of its cliche.
SLIPKNOT! WAIT AND BLEED! WAIT AND BLEED! *FALCETTO*
I know alot of people love metal and think it's the greatest invention since the wheel. but I can't really get it. I love noise just as much as the next guy (or more) but it's too damn agressive and fast.
I have absolutly nothing against metal, I can listen to it without crying.. but it sounds just as musically dead as hip-hop.
no hate, really. I'm glad you like it and you had a good time. I just don't understand it. care to explain?
I'll just dll a random song then, and if it sux i won't bother dll another one and blame it on the one i picked cuz you couldn't be assed to state a fav. one
Akerfeldt quit Bloodbath :( They had the singer from Hypocrisy for the second album. And I personally would rather recommend In Their Darkened Shrines by Nile as it is the better album :o
Death metal will do, but black metal is lolololololo ;D
I used to listen to a lot of this kind of stuff 3 years ago, especially when I got to know some tr00 underground metal fans and bands.. But then I changed school and got to know some 'normal' ppl and realized how silly this metal thing image is ;)
Nothing against metal itself. I even have some autographed cd from Vader ("Lithany" afair) somewhere and listen to some doom/goth/symph from time to time.
But when you look at death metal and then try to listen to like G'n'R or even Satriani then you will realize that it's completely diff level of art.
BTW, Satriani live in my city for free in the old market square on 1st July!!!!!! Too bad I'm gonna be in Paris for ESWC at that time :/
