Sigh were on that list too, so I hadn't checked them out at that point.
And if you remember I wasn't fussed about Sigh to begin with anyway :P.

When you guys are talking about Sigh... do you mean this band?

... cause when I saw this picture I just thought:
"What a gay poser band... Must be some kind of emo shit."

I'm not judging in any way their music, but this picture is just so... so... wannabe goth...

No.

I don't think it's emo or goth at all. It's a pretty accurate representation of their music.

don't you think that this kind of picture or concept is over-used in metal music?
Like... "I'm all soaked in blood! Look I'm evil!"

and btw Necrophagist is just uber awesome

True, though I can't think of other examples. But I don't think it relates to emo or wannabe goth :P

plus Sigh have an actual reason to do that, seeing as their music has a lot to do with insanity and stuff.

If you say so.

But that's what I meant :

At 2/24/09 07:53 PM, HeavenDuff wrote: But that's what I meant :

I don't think that's even really comparable, I mean, death metal, grindcore and goregrind rely so much on gorey and brutal imagery that it's can't really be considered an overused concept so much as a facet of the genre itself. Sigh, however, is not any of those genres.

And they're Japanese.
They look good in blood, unlike us Westerners.

So I get "Still Life" Today.

Listening to "The moor"

THE MOOOOOOOR!

Hopefully Charon gets that.

here with my conan shirt

the worst part was when he said "if you dont know this one, you can fuck off and die" to this day i still dont have a clue what song that was.. :(

It was the Grand Conjuration wasn't it?
I remember him having a little chat about how people were calling it 'emo' and how he thought it was 'still fucking evil' when I saw them in 2006. And that brought back memories of that.

Apparently a few people thought he was an arrogant twat and left straight away.
Humourless bastards.

I think my favourite moment of that entire show was 'This song is from Still Life...' 'THHE MOOOOOOR!'... 'No.'

snoffles (or how ever the name/penis nickname of the guitarist was spelt :P) and i enjoyed the set, in truth i was a little underwhelmed by it but twas good to finally see them live

just the fact that he was wearing a conan shirt made it for me :P

You guys talking about Opeth?

Ha, I saw them back in '06 and a again in '07, they were great.

Played for like 3+ hours each.

Did people really walk out cause they thought the band were twats?

Wow, what dicks.

Given the name checks of Still Life, The Moor and Grand Conjuration, yes, you'd think.

Ha, I saw them back in '06 and a again in '07, they were great.

I saw them twice in '06 and three times last year.
So fuck you :P.

Did they even tour in '07? I swear I would of gone to that, unless it was like some gay Irish thing... or I'm mis-remembering when I saw them the second time. Thought it was November, could of been March though.

You're definately lying there.

Also, shouldn't you be in bed (I can't talk... but still).

Just got done with the county honor band concert, first chair clarinet motherfuckers! nothing metal, obviously, but we played 'one winged angel' :P

GRRRRRRR

It could've been in '06 though, also.

I don't know, I think it was in early '07.

You're definately lying there.

Or it felt like 3 hours at the time at least.

Looking back it was probably between a hour and a half and two hours.

Also, shouldn't you be in bed (I can't talk... but still).

I was in bed, now I just woke up. :P

So when i finish reading the 3 novels i have lined up that i recently purchased, im gonna want something else to read. Preferably something in terms of metal.

Are there any books out there that talk about metal? Anything at all, though im not to fond on reading biographies.

Is anyone else looking forward to seeing this?
Apparently they´ve already released it, i have to download it.

Not met the twats though. That will have to be remedied next time... I miss the train home each time anyway :(.

Probably.
Its not unheard of (Sleep did it) but I doubt the venues Opeth play would facilitate a three hour set + support.

God, why would you want to read something on Metal? I'd just get incredibly pissed off when their views start conflicting with mine.

Though to aid you're quest (possibly) I'll just mentioned what I'm reading:
Currently: The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman (cause pre-teen girls arouse me... same with pre-teen boys too actually...)
Next: The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky.

In other news, stupid photo with my eye and a ticket:

OR WHEN THEIR VIEWS CONFLICT WITH METAL ITSELF. Gah. SO pissed. I was looking for books online and came across an "un black" and "white" and "Christian" black metal documentary and spat my beer all over my desk ruining my writings and almost ruined $3200 worth of my photography equipment on my desk.

Whoa, just discovered the best thing ever. Bill looks like John Virgo!

Also got Transcending Bizarre?'s 'The Four Scissors'.
Which I thought was a Shenmue quest until I realised its the four blades :(.

I bought tickets for Iron Maiden show. It will play with:

Sepultura
O Connor (Argentinian Band)
Glenn Harris Band
Horcas (Argentinian Band)

And maybe Anthrax. Great Show

Fucking win!

Alright, thanks for the recommendations guys... there's a lot to go through!

I don't know if I'll be a regularly contributing member here, but here's 10 bands.

Voivod
Martyr
DBC
Obliveon
Cryptopsy
Celtic Frost
Emperor
Prong
Slayer
Metallica

Er, sorry for double post but I just realized Obliveon is a pretty obscure band, even for metal. Here's a live clip with decent audio quality.

Obliveon - Nemesis and Frosted Avowals

So how can I join? I'm too lazy to read through all of the posts.

You list ten bands and we judge you scathingly.
