Your assumption is Correct.

I know it's not an assumption. :p

Your sig reminds me, is the new Amon Amarth any good?

So either way, not Herman and Sam :P.

And somehow, with all their epic lyrics, with their speed power metal riffs and video game guitar sounds, they are catchy...

DragonForce's catchiness comes from the vocals and the drums. All Herman and Sam do is make the songs boring with over long guitar duels.
They're no Weikath and Hansen :P.

Lost Horizon make me happier.
As do Manowar.

Very true. They are one of the funniest bands of metal, same like the fans who take them seriously. They are hilarious. BROTHERS OF TRUE METAL! ROFL!

That's some serious truthing right there.

Hey guys, please listen to my new song, I think it's my personal best yet, but just judge for yourself. I think I finally got a fine production with a lot of bottom-end heaviness, something my sound always lacked. Not many lyrics and vocals here, the riffs do the talking, as well as some new elements and acoustic parts :)

Please listen - and guys, I'd love some reviews on the track! Response guaranteed.

Oh, and here is the cover art in case of a self-release. Maybe this will also be part of the split with a Greek band, but things aren't finalized yet.

anyone into bands like graves at sea, conifer, isis etc. should check out the local 'weegie sludge band 'black sun'. gonna go see em play here in january.

Reviewed, 5'd and added you to favs.

Also, tsk tsk on the triple post.

Couldn't be farther from the truth.

Added something to the Audio Portal myself.

I know, sorry :P

Also thanks to you, mrdurgan and Nev :)

Got and have just listened to Kayo Dot's 'Blue Lambency Downward'.
Its alright, not as good as the previous two and all traces of Metal have gone.
Still need to check out Maudlin too.

I picked up With Oden on Our Side and Versus the World by Amon Amarth as well as Iron Will by Grand Magus today.

Good stuff.

Its not bad. Its typical Kayo Dot really.
It pales in comparison to Choirs of the Eye though.

Obviously... he's not going to tell you "the album sucks monkey balls, but I'm still using the arts of the album as a sig pic."

Also, that makes me think about something.
What are your favorite album covers ???

I'd like to start with
Once Was Not by Cryptopsy

At 12/17/08 01:59 AM, HeavenDuff wrote: What are your favorite album covers ???

Earth - The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull
Om - Conference of the Birds
Sunn O)))/Boris - Altar
Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters

And I'm getting bored of linking to stuff now so:
Cynic - Traced in Air
Devin Townsend Band - Terria
Devin Townsend Band - Ziltoid the Omniscient
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius

Haven't been posting much very recently been absorbed in Fallout 3 :P
Not to mention my computer contracted a virus and shat itself in the past 3 days, so I had to fix that up.

Seeing some recent mention of Sigh has motivated me to get some of there stuff, so I'll have more to talk about after that :)

I've been absorbed in getting marks back, getting NG stuff, and Team Fortress 2. I would get Fallout but my computer would only run it on minimum.

Oh, and metal news, well, Christmas is coming which means i asked for money from everybody, so ill be spending that on a Necrophagist album or 2. Or possibly tickets to aforementioned Festival.

Speaking of Necrophagist, im trying to get my friend into them as well, and i couldn't think of any other way to describe the solos, other then this:

the solos like, bludgeon your ears whilst cutting em off Chopper Reed style with guitar strings

Feel free to add to it.

I enjoy their music, but I don't take them seriously. How can I when they just parody metal?

I second this. Although it's the only Amon Amarth album I have right now, I've certainly enjoyed it and will consider getting their other albums. :)

Too many to name.

Seriously.

Speaking of which I'm going home tomorrow so hopefully I can get some geeky whizz kid to get my graphics card installed.
I'm dying to play that game :(.

Had to download SYL's Alien and Captain Morgan's Revenge because the version I had were either clean (fucking stupid in terms of an SYL album) and watermarked (in the case of Alestorm).
Got some Philip Glass whilst I was at it :).

And I ain't slept again, been awake 24 hours now and I'm going out tonight (as I'm going home tomorrow :D) so I can't sleep for a while yet :(... vodka + red bull will be good tonight though.

I do agree with these two. I didn't see the point in including VoaT though as its similar to CotB.
I do like Om's album artwork though. Very beautiful :).
