They're really confusing and awesome though, time signature switches, pauses, and whatnot, but they can get a bit repetitive. One of the better thrash bands though.

Just listened to ObZen today.

Not too much to say, really. Checked out a Cynic promo, thought it was just OK - songs were a bit laid back and I missed the robot vocals, sadly enough. Still, I hold out for a great new album later this year. Also been listening to Keep of Kalessin's new one - Kolossus. Not as much black metal in this, more cultural influences and death metal influences, but mine ears doth not protest. Still good stuff, and you'll definitely enjoy it if you like the band otherwise.

Anyway, I'll be around.

D3ntatus put it best. However. there is confirmation of an album on Cynic's myspace for whatever that's worth. Probably not a tremendous amout, but I'd like it to get out this year, if at all possible. We'll see.

I would just like to comment on something someone said before about gay haircuts and bands.

Hetfields hair now looks pretty damn gay (although it suits him) but we still listen to Metallica, right?

/edn point

Who else is excited for the new album?

James' hair looks gay? Try Lars.

Did anyone hear the new mission Metallica vid? They're recording bass for Death is Not the End. (Although it's a lot slower than the live version) And Kirk is playing the main riff with enough wah to knock out a horse. It's worse than the Prince Charming solo.

Anyone who has heard that song will know what I'm talking about.

But I don't think anyone with ears would put that much wah on a record.

But 500 and something pounds isn't enough for such a masterpiece!

Listen to it! It's great!

I thought the new promo CD was pretty good, but it's got nothing on Focus. I still look forward to this new album.

Also, I hope that new Virus album comes out soon. The wait is killing me.

Dream Theater - Images and Words
Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather (Killing Machine for you over the seas)
Morbid Angel - Domination

All great bands! :D I actually haven't got Killing Machine yet, but should do soon.

The store was SecondSpin,com it's all used CDs/DVDs/Video Games and it's approved by Time Magazine. I got all five for under $50 Dollars.

Cool, but I prefer new condition CDs.

So do Dethkhok for that matter.

lol, Dethkhok :'D
I love Dethklok, I like the shows really much, Because I get all of the references in them.
The music, Well they have some good stuff, and some bad stuff, But It's all different.

I love what Dethklok is doing for metal, Getting it out there on TV, there's not really much TV ABOUT metal, From our point of view.

I love how fucking over the top it is.

James Hetfield looks like a fucking douchebag these days.
Metallica actually looked cool back in the day..

Aging about 25 years usually does that to a person.

Where were you when it happened?
Where could you be found?
Were you at the front of the stage or in the underground?
...And so on.

And if your definition of 'cool' is dead bassists and unwashed faces, then you got problems.

Denim, and leather! Brought us all together, it was you that set the spirit free!
Fuck yes for acne and mullets.

I don't listen to Black Metal very often but this demo is just absolutely brilliant.

Mirkwood - Journey's End

Are they really? They really grew on me once I realized I have a love for technical, progressive, and guitar heavy music in general. The whole band is simply put shocking, they're one of the most talented death metal, heck, metal acts out there today. I'm pretty sure they'll be remembered as a significant death metal band in the future, when I'm old and stuff.

Also, Moar new Music.
This is more from my Goregrind Project Necrowhore.

Vote and Review..
And please actually do it this time?

My bad, I thought you meant the Reload. That really confused me.

Alright for all the metalcore argue, we'll just leave it there.

I only hate Sammet's voice when he tries too hard to sound like a Dickinson/Kiske clone.

I really don't see it like that. I really see Sammet and Dickinson as two really different singers.

Whoa! Too right it's brilliant. Too bad they've not released much.

Funny, two years after getting into Metallica, I've still not listened to Load or ReLoad, and some will say that it's better for me to avoid those albums at all costs. Then again, to me it feels like those albums never existed.

Listen to Hellfire Club and you'll notice the similarities between them.

They've got some good (Thorn Within, King Nothing, Wasting my Hate, Attitude, Devil's Dance, Fuel) some mediocre (Cure, Ain't My Bitch, The Memory Remains, Fixxxer) and some awful atrocities that don't deserve to be called music (The Outlaw Torn, Low Man's Lyric, Slither), but they're worth a listen, if only to wonder why in God's name Metallica changed their style to this shit.

Metal Hell? On the second page?

Blasphemy.
