Recently gotten into a French band called Scarve.

They're reminiscent of Darkane. Melodic Death/Thrash Metal.
Really good stuff imo.

Apparently DragonForce have shaped up their live act and actually try and play their music now.
Has anyone seen them recently to confirm this?

Even at our lowest we're too heavy for you I'm afraid.

That's all I can think of, has anyone heard of 'Trivium'? I heard them on Channel V recently and saw their album, I didn't get it because I wasn't sure if it'd really be worth it.

And to think Trivium are some kind of new band is just moronic.
General consensus is that they're a bag of shit.

I really enjoy their music, but their music can be repetitive. However, I wouldn't mind seeing them in concert.

My sister was wanting to see them live, but I think we're too late for their UK concerts now. Oh well.

I don't think you are. I think a lot of them are sold out however.

Shogun is like the ultimate album for wondering 'Is this metal or not?'

As always, the guitar work is somewhat technical, the drums are pretty good, the bass is inaudible, and the vocals are gay.

I think I just summed up most Metalcore.

And the riffs are someone elses.

I just loled a bit. I'm seeing is I can go to the faroe islands soon - half term or something and see Tyr. I know someone who lives there and was taught to play guitar by Tyr's guitarist.

Well I haven't been here for a while so here I go. I just saw Amon Amarth Monday with Ensiferum, Belphegor, and some other band. The show was awesome. Not to mention what ensiferum said about Chicago-
"Now THIS is a venue that every band should visit. DAMN! Everything works like a trains toilet. Good food, good stage/-sound, good showers...VERY nice venue in every possible way.

Gig was just brilliant! People were crowdsurfing and singing along and there was a moshpit through the whole gig. That really gives us a extra boost. I really hope we could have played longer today, but no can do. Well, next time then.

So, its a night before the travel day so there will propably be a party. Im off to investigate the situation. Update is possible, depending of the amount of booze. :D"

I feel so fucking awesome to know I was a part of that.

I dunno about that one, I've heard mixed things about it.

Its pretty much In torment in hell part 2 trust me only a few listenable songs on it.

Just because you don't like what Cannibal Corpse sings about you're not coming back?

Prime example of what i was talking about before everybody, those people that are all "Oooh you're music is all emo its all satan this ragh ragh j00r emo juu satanic goth cunt rah rah".

Not picking on you or anything Aci6, don't get me wrong, its just when you said that it reminded me of an argument i had earlier.

Since when is 'cannibalism and slaughter' a way of categorising music?

Do you mean you don't like Death Metal on principle of their lyrics?

Well what with the recent signing of the Pro-IP act, and just general guilt I decided I'd stop being a faggot and I deleted every bit of music I've ever downloaded. I'm going to start rebuilding my library with real cd's soon, and I'm going to stop trying to justify stealing music. If the artist want's to give it away cool, if not, I'll be buying it.

As much as I don't like Deathcore.
This band is really growing on me.

I sadly had to do this as well just recently, after i put my new hard drive in shit went sideways and so i had to reformat, i tried backing it up to my old hard drive but it was gonna take to long, so i said "Fuck it" and deleted it. Every single bit of downloaded music, gone.

I still have most of the good stuff on my ipod though >:)

Ahh, well I'm making due now with bands that allow free downloads from their websites. Speaking of which, Marko was right about Heathen. I'm listening to Victims of Deception and its pretty damn good.

I've only listened to the title track, but I'm gonna say no. While I'm not too bothered about Trivium these days, I gave their 10+ minute track a go and found out what it was like.

Someone from here told me Acid Bath may be getting back together, this is hugely epic news.

People sell tickets though. Outside the venues and on the train and stuff.

Relatively sure that's against the law.

Cause people really care about minor laws like that...

I've had tickets that I've sold to people because a friend couldn't show or whatever. Done it a few times.
If it is against the law, then its a pathetic law. I buy three tickets. One friend doesn't show up. I sell one ticket at face value.

If you look at it like that it's a minor law. But if you look at it in a more logical sense, someone could buy out all the tickets, then sell every single one of them for more than sale price. That is why it's against the law.

Yeah, they're cunts. But I'm talking about selling spares and I'd never ask for more than face value. And DragonForce is a big band, I bet they'd be a few people trying to off tickets on trains and on the street. I'd had a spare DF ticket in the past in fact :). DF fans are unreliable :P.

Yes true, I would find it acceptable to by tickets in order to reserver them for friends or something.

Well, there are many other sub-genres of metal, just name what you like (i.e, fast riffs, epic bullshit about fairies and whatnot, epic viking stories, satan) and we can point you in the direction of whats a little more acceptable.

There's plenty of actual Death Metal that isn't about murder and death. Every full length by the band Death (after their first two) have great lyrics that deal with a lot of different things, faith, humanity, religion, society, nostalgia. You'd be selling yourself short to look at a generalization and base your opinion on the entirety of something based on that alone. At least give it a try.
