I thought I would finally join this club, if I am permitted to do so, after looking at it a few times. The thing about metal I love most is the music, the melodies, so I don't like getting dark, deep throat chuckles in my ears as much, although I do appreciate some of Black and Death Metal's Finest. I love Ensiferum, Mithotyn, CoB, Finntroll, Falkenbach, I also enjoy Amon Amarth once in a while. Hope, since I love metal music.

Sure you can join. Any kind of metal is welcome here.

And xXbrackishXx, I got tired of Tarja's voice. I liked Nightwish before, but they wore off so fast..

You could look around for topics in the general part of the boards, somtimes there are people who make whoever posts sigs, also the sig making crews like the ASM.
Also... If you want I can make you one.

What about Lacuna Coil peeps? Hows about them?

Weren't you the one that hated them so much about half a year ago? :)

I liked them when I got into them, but there are a ton of better Gothic bands out there, like Beseech.

Does anyone of you listen to Astarte? It's an all-female black metal band and hell, they do it well!

we play Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Stratovarius, Edguy, Iron Maiden, and Blind Guardian tunes mostly -_-

Not my favorite genre of metal, but I do like it a lot nonetheless.
Some of my favorite power metal bands include:
Blind Guardian
Iced Earth
Hammerfall
Helloween
DragonForce
Masterplan
as well as Primal Fear and Mystic Prophecy, but they are more Speed Metal.

So, I have a new signature :) you like it?

Awesome! I hope I will enjoy talking about metal as much as I love listening to it. Is anybody in here going to any concerts anytime soon? If so where and what bands?

I'll be at Metalcamp Slovenia:

www.metalcamp.com

Unfortunatly i have no up and coming concerts etc to go to, there is finntroll in London next month but i dont have tickets and if me and my mate went we would be destroyed as we are not out right fans of any particular genre and we would stick out majorly and become targets :( and what makes it worse is that naglfar are supporting >:(

anyhoo i do like your sig goatchrist :D

Anyone ever heard of Shadows Fall?

Just thought that I might as well share this with you all. Just another reminder of how stupid people are. The funny thing is, the band really exists. It isn't just a joke, the guy who wrote all the stuff thinks it's cool.

The site looks rather shitty and nothing seems to work when I'm on it. Is there supposed to be more?

Hey guys, you might see a site soon for my one man band Midian, and for my band Black Death (name subject to change). Also, from now on, I will only submit samples to Newgrounds instead of whole songs. Once I figure out how to do Paypal, I will charge .75 per song (not that much) and the songs will be of high quality 96 kbps Mp3. Sorry, but I need to make some money, so yeah.

Once the site is up (most likely on Freewebs) then I'll include the link in my sig. When I make it, feel free to download free samples of Black Death, also. Cheers!

Sounds good to me. I'll check those samples out.

My homepage is now ready for you guys, check my sig!

Sorry for the doublepost but I have some news about my main band. (Shores of Sheol is just my side project)

There are a lot of problems going on with our lead guitar player for a while now and we have arranged a meeting tomorrow, we'll kick him out. There's no other way, last weekend we had a rehearsal without him because he didn't have the time to come and FUCK, it went well. Better than any other rehearsal....

So, I'll switch from Rhythm to Lead and I have already written some stuff...I think our band is slowly turning into fucking Thrash Metal ;)

Well mr goatchrist i check out your shores of sheol tracks and whilst u have obviously put work into, its not really my thing whilst i do have an open mind to the more extreme metal and i have quite a liking for some of it that was just too raw for me :(

(apologies for double post) in addition i would like to say good luck with your main band and i hope there will be some samples from that as well :D

Finally bought Black Sabbath - Paranoid. It's a solid album.

I love Slipknot Rammstein Rob zombie and Ozzy

Also, while on holidays, I picked up "Sound Of The Beast: The Complete Headbanging History Of Heavy Metal" by Ian Christe and so far it's a good read. I reccomend it to anyone interested in metal.

i like slipknot and cradle of filth

I'll take a look on that, sounds pretty good.

Aaargh, damnit, are you guys serious? Please list any bands BESIDES Slipknot if you want in....

yes some better bads would be a requirement!

for you guys who stated slipknot check back a few pages in this topic and learn about some more bands and come back then :)

Was at the recent Cradle of Filth gig in the Forum Saturday. BEST FUCKING GIG EVER! Me and my mate Adam were right up at the front. =P

P.S For England based peeps, check out the shit on my home town Swanley. Oh the pain.. Swanley is a Hole

To the other extreme we go!

How about lyrics such as this, all played to the sound of Ansestor's Christian Black Metal music?:
The Rulers Of The Darkness Of This World
Unmasked Bringing Their Offers To Man
A Terrible Reality Is Knocking On Your Door
Threathening To Destroy Your Life Forevermore
Personal Freedom And Independence
Fulfilment Of Desire, Still Needing More
Sinning Without Any Feelings Of Guilt
Emptiness And An Exhausted Soul
Without God There Is No Life
Man Can Not Survive
Blinded By Demonic Seduction
Led Into Destruction
Free People With Self-Determination
Crimes, Suicide And Apprehension
Living Is Worthless, Nothing To Gain
Denying The Truth And Satan's Existense

I'm back.

Hah. Yes. I just got that aalbum also, it fukcing pwns.
I also got Soilwork's New Album, which I think is really good, not as good as predator's portiat, but much better than figure number 5.
And I got a couple new Maiden albums: Killers, Live After Death, and Brave New World.

Cool, cheaper than the iTunes music store by 24 cents.

I'll check it out as soon as I can :)

btw, I like your new sig, Goatchrist.
