I'm asking this to any Nile fans in here. What would be the album I should listen first by them?
Thanks mates

Fuck yes it is. Pikachu is a true black metal warrior, born and raised on the grim and frostbitten moors of Pallet Town.

I have a confession. I'm a serious competitive pokemon battler on ShoddyBattle and on DS Wifi. I raise serious teams, train them well and the like. but seriously, what's as metal as having little slaves that do battle with other slaves at your command? NOTHING.

Also, Duff, get Annihilation of the Wicked first.

Haha, awesome. I've always wanted to get into something like that, I fucking love Pokemon. Some of the Pokemon themselves are metal like the dragons and shit. What's more metal than Charizard?

Also, Duff, get Annihilation of the Wicked first.

Good album, I like Ithyphallic better though.

Oh my, it's very long and rock hard.. can I pet it? I'll let you pet my Ekans.

You know what deserve more attention? Electric Wizard's albums that aren't Dopethrone.

You know how I said my fav Electric Wizard album was Self titled? Well, I wrote a review on MA and gave it like 93 percent, because the only review of it gives it like 70 percent and the guy just didn't understand it, anyway, I submitted it and it never came up. Ripped off.

And yeah, I got the one after Dopethrone, and it's not crap at all.

And why is self titled my favourite when it's not as complex and doesn't have a sludgy production? Because it's their most traditional doom metal album, and it's really catchy and slow and heavy. Great shit. Witchcult Today is slightly similar, more traditional.

But the thing is, Dopethrone is a really, really good album.

And it has satan smoking a bong on the cover. Album covers usually work wonders in marketing, even in the underground. Can you say Dawn of the Black Hearts?

Also, Guitar Hero: Metallica is pretty enjoyable.

Eh, I've always acknowledged that but if we're talking about when we first joined the Metal Hell, then my musical interests in metal has pretty much been the same, except for getting into loads more bands. The bands I mentioned back then were:

Blind Guardian - Still one of my favourite bands
DragonForce - I don't mind a small dosage of them from time to time
Dream Theater - Still one of my favourite bands
Fear Factory - Don't listen to as much, but still great
HammerFall - Same for Fear Factory
Helloween - Still one of my favourite bands
Iced Earth - Still great
Iron Maiden - Still one of my favourite bands
Megadeth - Still one of my favourite bands
Metallica - Still great considering their first few albums
Pantera - They're alright

So yeah, half of my favourite bands have been the same for 3 years now and will most likely still be my favourites in 5 years time.

Opeth is for emos

That's bullshit!

Nile is a bit overwhelming before you get used to them. But.. I suggest you don't listen to the song Sarcophagus first. I did, and I hated it, and for a while, I hated Nile. Then I listened to Execration Text and liked them. But, yeah.. Annihilation of the wicked is good.

Guys i'm going to Warp Tour tomorrow with my girlfriend, I know it's embarrassing but she loves that kind of music and she got me a free ticket.

brokeNCYDE is one of the many bands playing, fucking....yes.

That band are amazing! Like Philip Glass meets Russell Brand (but in a good way... though that will be hard to imagine). Myspace.

Wait a minute now, their lyrics are pretty good and My Arms Your Hearse is pretty damn good as well...

Katatonia is for emos

Summer Slaughter was worth the $10.50 I spent on it. Origin's guitarist was insane. Darkest Hour sucked balls, Blackguard was mediocre, and that's about. I've seen all of the other bands before over the past two years and they didn't disappoint.

Now, however, I feel like shit. I've been starving myself for most of today because I have little motivation to move around.

I think it's safe to say the user that said Arch Enemy, Opeth and that other third band I can't remember is an idiot.

No surprises there.

What?! Black Guard were amazing when I saw them at paganfest.

You've seen the rest of those bands? Lucky bastard, besides Black Guard I haven't seen a single band on summer slaughter tour live yet.

They weren't bad, but it's a stretch to characterize them as amazing. While I was waiting on line, I was off-handedly telling someone else that I didn't really care much about Blackguard (which is true), and the next thing I knew, their guitarist was standing right there and heard what I said. It was an awkward moment.

This was my 4th time seeing Suffocation, 3rd time seeing Necrophagist, and 2nd time seeing Ensiferum. So yeah. I also talked to Muhammed for about 5 minutes before the show. Basically, he said he's been living in Orange County, California for the past 8 or 9 months, and that the next Necrophagist album is about 80% written and will be a concept album.

I really want to see Necrophagist and Ensiferum live. So do you happen to know German, or was the conversation in English?

I know a little bit of German, but we spoke in English because he speaks English as well.

Yeah, that's why I want to learn another language, because if I'm not mistaken, almost everyone in Europe knows at least 2 languages. Languages should be more important in American education. My spanish isn't bad though, so...

Except in the UK... WAAAHEEEYY!

Languages aren't necessary in Europe though. If they don't understand English simply shout and point and they always understand.
Innit, Brits?

... Yes, we're scum :(.

I feel the same. There's a school in my area that does bilingual teaching (spanish/english) which is really cool, i kind of wish i went there. A ton of my friends did, and they can all speak fluent spanish.

Well Carl, you speak Latin don't you? You could always converse with the Ro-, nevermind.

also i don't know much Latin, our course doesn't cover much vocabulary (and the vocabulary is a bit... outdated.)

Yeah, I've been hanging out at my friend's house a lot, and his parents speak Spanish, and no joke, my spanish has improved hanging out with him. His dad knows some English, so I'll talk to him in Spanish and he'll talk back in English. It sounds weird to someone listening.

But also, that's why any band from a non english speaking country is amazing, because they're writing lyrics in their second or possibly third language. That's incredible
