I'm offended. Where did you get that bullshit notion that praying is a Protestant idea? Either way, it's wrong.

I'm going to go on a limb and assume most of you are atheists, so be thankful in that I've added an 'I don't pray' column.

Not true for me.

If you help me, I shall bestow upon ye the secret of the 'Mandolin shred'.

Please don't.

1. How often do you pray? (Everyday, sometimes, never, other)

Sometimes

2. When do you usually pray? (Morning-Evening, Anytime, Other, Never)

Morning-Evening.

3. Where do you usually pray? (Home, Church, School, Other, I don't pray anywhere)

Home/Church

4. How do you pray? (Bow your head, Close your eyes, kneel, other, I don't pray)

Close my eyes and Bow my head

5. Why do you pray? (Get closer to God, Thank God, Say sorry for Sins, some big word that I can't read because I've written essays shorter than that, Praise God, Others, No need to pray)

Thank God, forgiveness of sins, although I go to Reconciliation anyway.

So, if you guys would help me (My RE teacher may be concerned about the people I talk with, but I don't really give a monkey's) that would be great.

I'll need your first name too.

Then in addition to Arcturus and Solefald, check out Fleurety, Sigh, Age of Silence, Virus, and Ved Buens Ende.

For prog, check out Psychotic Waltz, Vanden Plas, Age of Nemesis, Planet X, Cronian, Spiral Architect, Communic, Zero Hour, and Blotted Science (I'm pretty sure you already know Spastic Ink).

Any chance you could be a bit more specific in terms of albums :). Just one by each that you think is best.

At 12/18/07 06:06 PM, Nev wrote: Any chance you could be a bit more specific in terms of albums :). Just one by each that you think is best.

Well, I'd get both La Masquerade Infernale and the Sham Mirrors by Arcturus. And everything that Solefald has done is essential, IMO, except for the Linear Scaffold. Ved Buens Ende has only done one full length, which is Written in Waters. Virus also has only done one album so far, Carheart, but another one is being made. I would reccomend getting Gallows Gallery by Sigh. I plan on getting Infidel Art and Imaginary Sonicscape by Sigh sometime, so I can't really reccomend it yet since I haven't heard the whole thing, but I have high expectations. Age of Silence only has one full length album out. The lead vocalist is Lars Nedland from Solefald.

Although I have yet to hear an entire album by Psychotic Waltz (I've heard plenty of their songs, though) I'd get Into the Everflow due to the fact that Freakshow is on that album, and I love that song. I'd also probably get Far off Grace by Vanden Plas and maybe Christ.0. And for Age of Nemesis, I think Terra Incognita is a good choice. And Blotted Science only has one album.

Or, to narrow it down further....

Fleurety - Min Tid Skaal Komme
Solefald - Neonism
Arcturus - la Masquerade Infernale
Virus - Carheart
Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters
Psychotic Waltz - Into the Everflow
Vanden Plas - Christ.0
Age of Nemesis - Terra Incognita

Coooool :).
Cheers Sensey.

I already have The Sham Mirrows and La Masquerade Infernale though :).

I also just kind of noticed that the childish habbit of giving crappy bands crappy names still hasn't died down yet, and wanted to respond to it.

You call it childish, I call it beating a dead horse. I was being tongue-in-cheek and I guess you missed it. Frankly, the names I used are very, very played out, but I always accept new ones if they're funny. And they pop up.

yeah, I missed it. I just really dislike things like that, whether it's serious or not.

(you know, I might just not be tr00 enough...)

I don't listen to "troo" stuff often, in fact barely. I resent the culture some times because of the obsession with being more and more underground, however:

oh, exactly my thoughts. I listen to pretty much anything, but I dislike the whole idea of somebody being 'real' and someone else not. If it's good music, you shouldn't care about what an artist does. or at least I don't stop listening to the music because of it... otherwise I could just as well stop listening to burzum etc.

Lifelover

lawls at the band pic. These guys are serious. It may be an undercut to make fun of a band's image, but it was funny regardless. I personally don't listen to them.

yeah, it looks silly. But just about the whole underground black metal scene&related is rather fucked up, so I gladly forgive them their silly pictures (also, the cover of their first cd is hot... or would be, if it werenth for the pigs blood:p)

Herfst

Never heard of them, but they are independent and without an LP. Troo kvlt indeed, well-played.

Leng Tch'e

Were good, going downhill IMO

yeah, I understand. I like marasmus, but it's far from being razorgrind.

Nanowar

if its Manowar and you typo'd, then they are classic, even though I don't like them that much. I googled it just in case (I've been surprised before by one-letter-off band names) and apparently a Nanowar parody thing exists. If its them, IDK...

yeah, it's them. It's not really that great musically, but they are hilarious. it's like most other joke bands, actually.
kind off a shame metal archives doesn't allow them.

oh, and mate... don't think I don't know half the bands here. I'm would be the first one to admit my knowledge isn't that great, but you're not exactly talking about underground here.;)

I know that. This isn't the Metal Archives board or even something worse than that. But your attitude leaves something to be desired. Its a little condescending, because this thread wasn't going to be and isn't going to be anything but what it is not. Its how I remember it when I was a newfag, just in reverse. Pertinent discussion is always welcome, but if you want more serious conversation, hit up another board. Not that I'm trying to push you out or anything, but what you see is what you get.

I'll admit that this isn't the best place for serious discussions, but that's also not really why I'm here. I do visit other forums that can be used for that. However, that doesn't take away I still got the impression that a club called "metal hell" should focus on metal, en not on what's not metal. That's pretty much anything I can complain about, half the posts being about masscore or screamo...

Well, I saw them live and they were good. I don't know if it's good on cd, though, it happened enough that bands who are good live suck on cd, so I can't tell you with certainty
a shame I didn't buy the dome, in a couple of years it's probably worth 3 or 4 times a much as it is now:p

I agree. It gets to a point where in order to be "troo" you have to like some 15 year old norwegian kid making songs on his 8-track in the middle of a forest of "kvlt grimness" while burning a church and pissing on graves. Also, no more than 15 people can hear a song. That stuff is just BS. Good point about Burzum, I don't care about Varg either. He just got denied parole again, i think.

yeah, I understand. I like marasmus, but it's far from being razorgrind.

Stuff like that happens though. I didn't think Marasmus was bad either, but I echo what you said.

The Metal Hell focused on picspam a couple of weeks ago. That kind of shit comes and goes, but I will echo shitonastick when I say most of the true real metal conversations were used up a while ago. Good conversations (such as this one, IMO) still appear every now and then, especially if a decent topic pops up. Mostly the "not metal" part surfaces because of the youth in here as well. Many of the younger member's peers are confused about what is metal, and we can offer answers. Also, there are always trolls. Sometimes some good stuff comes out of it, but mostly it rehashes. BTW, props for reading my long-ass posts. Not too many people do.

The Hell is a little bit goofy, and I think it always will be.

Sorry for the double post, but I forgot about this stuff.

Anyway, here goes, it works that you pick an option in the brackets in response to the question:
1. How often do you pray? (Everyday, sometimes, never, other)

Other. In extreme or very exact circumstances do I pray. Its not an everyday or even sometimes occurance.

2. When do you usually pray? (Morning-Evening, Anytime, Other, Never)

Other. See above.

3. Where do you usually pray? (Home, Church, School, Other, I don't pray anywhere)

Other. Where ever I happen to be during the circumstance.

4. How do you pray? (Bow your head, Close your eyes, kneel, other, I don't pray)

Closed eyes, bowed head.

5. Why do you pray? (Get closer to God, Thank God, Say sorry for Sins, some big word that I can't read because I've written essays shorter than that, Praise God, Others, No need to pray)

Other. Usually for the safety or well-being of a loved one, or for a moment of clarity or epiphany. Sometimes, very rarely, for reassurance.

I'll need your first name too.

Indeed, Songs of Darkness is their best. But don't forget "the angel and the dark river", another great album.

You know what, mdb never made a bad album (I hereby forcefully forget Gods of the sun), so just buy/download them all.
