Which albums do you have bubba? I gawt Twilight Of The Thunder God, With Oden On Our Side and Versus The World, all quite the tits.

I prefer the cleaner sound of the first two though, but Death In Fire is an amazing song, such a catchy riff.

I have all of them, but Once Sent from the Golden Hall and With Oden on our Side are my favorite albums.

other way around, nig.

Spartans battled their opponents near nude, to respect them, Vikings wore Leather and chain armor into battle, as well as fur to keep them warm in the winters of scandinavia.

I'm not that huge a fan of BDM, and they're the only core I listen to. Why the fuck are you bringing them up? I'm going to give you my top 10 list since you apparently don't understand my taste:

1. Dew-Scented
2. Vader
3. Insomnium
4. Suffocation
5. Cannibal Corpse
6. Dark Tranquility
7. Meshuggah
8. In Flames
9. Arch Enemy
10. Kataklysm

DO YOU THINK I HAVE BAD TASTE NOW? MMM?

(Yes, I'm a dick, I know. Well, at least most of the time.)

Damn Animetal i think as long as you go to Municipal Waste, Nile at least one of the shows with Powerglove, and even the show with Suffocation theyre pretty good live, your golden and if you can afford the Maryland Deathfest you cant pass that up

... I guess you have no eye for talent then. They (Opeth) are very talented musicians. Period. They make beautiful songs.

On another note, can anyone recommend me something heavy and melodic? I checked out the bands you guys suggested on the other page... but I need more. :P

All your favorite bands are more popular than most, so yeah - Pretty generic and mainstream taste.

He reversed them. Spartans used their tactical senses, not military grade weapons to overpower the enemy.

Frailty, my good sir.

Don't worry you guys. I can't stand Opeth either. There's at least three bands in here that a lot of you guys love and I can't fucking stand. It's natural. And just because someone doesn't like a band doesn't mean they have no eye for talent. Brash generalizations in here start shit flinging.

Also, people that say Mikael is god piss me off.

I know they are, they're a great band and all, but I don't like them. I'm just not into Progressive metal.

Yeah, I would've thought that you'd like Insomnium, because they make beautiful songs too. I'll give you some more, but no power metal, sorry:

Meshuggah
At the Gates
The Absence
Dark Tranquility
Omnium Gatherum

Those are some I think you would like, all melodic (exception of Meshuggah, but they're good anyway).

I don't understand how people can not like Opeth because they aren't aggressive enough.

Since when does angst determine whether a band is good or not?

Outside of thrash metal and core I mean.

Haha no, those guys suck cock.

Use your blog, you have six times as many characters.

And in the highly unlikely case you run out of characters you can make another blog.

So that's 13 times more characters than in a BBS post.

What are you trying to prove anyway? That you know more bands than anyone?

Listing a few more bands than ten(Even if you listed 50 bands) you still wouldn't run out of characters in a BBS post.

It doesn't.

"aggression" still doesn't decide in Thrash. Maybe core, but core is fail, so whatever.

true, it's probably a copout.

Listen to Opeth's first album, Orchid.

I remember that being progressive black metal.

"aggression" still doesn't decide in Thrash.

But it helps in thrash metal.

I mean, you CAN be a non-angry thrash metal band but it usually doesn't work out very well.

true, it's probably a copout.

Probably.

Kreator, they are thrash metal but they have some melodic moments.

They're really, really not.

Also, Opeth are boring. Not everyone has to like them.

Prove me wrong with links, everything i've heard by them sucks.

And when I saw Cynic open for them they sucked cock and Cynic blew the shit out of them.

You could say the same thing about any band that writes all 10+ minute long songs.

I never said you have to like them, but denying there talent is pure idiocy.

Cynic are very good. But they're not the kind of band that could blow the shit out of Meshuggah.
Cynic are fairly laid back. Meshuggah are aggressive.
Them being better is different though.
And Meshuggah aren't everyones cup of tea and they're atonal and droney.

Exactly why they blew the shit out of them.

Because they didn't take themselves seriously, at all and they were just trying to make sure everyone was having fun.

Then gayshuggah came out and were all like "WE'RE BRUTAL SHIT YO"

They acted like what you would expect a deathcore band to act like.

Them being better is different though.

And Meshuggah aren't everyones cup of tea and they're atonal and droney.

Not really droney, more like just mindless shredding.

No meaning at all in their music. (Don't say what about the lyrics, cause you guys are the guys that always tell me lyrics do not mean shit)

Touche.

Opeth are boring though. Om write songs longer than Opeth and they're not dull.

That is because Om is amazing.

Opeth endlessly repeat their riffs. They get dull quick.

Not really... With the soul exception of The Grand Conjuration none of there songs repeat riffs, some of there riffs(Especially in there first two albums) may sound alike but you can tell they aren't playing the same exact thing and that is exactly what makes them progressive.

More like this!

After listening to those other two and a half shits I really don't want to listen to another.

At 12/6/09 08:25 PM, AniMetal wrote: Then gayshuggah came out and were all like "WE'RE BRUTAL SHIT YO"

Yeah, that is gay. It's why I hated Kataklysm :P.
Although I can forgive Municipal Waste for it, because... well... because its Municipal Waste :P.

Not really droney, more like just mindless shredding.

Rhythmically, its droney. It's like a machine would drone: d-dun... d-dun... d-dun... d-dun.
Also, Meshuggah hardly shred. They're almost entirely about rhythm.

No meaning at all in their music. (Don't say what about the lyrics, cause you guys are the guys that always tell me lyrics do not mean shit)

Damn! You totally said that cause you know Haake writes some proper decent lyrics :P.
Very philosophical and shit.

But I suck at analysis and I couldn't tell you what the meaning of any bands music is. I don't care for that stuff. But I bet someone could.

That subtlety doesn't really work in Opeth for me. They just sound uninspired.

But mine was better ;)... seriously, it was. So listen!

At 12/6/09 08:35 PM, Nev wrote: Yeah, that is gay. It's why I hated Kataklysm :P.

Yeah, but they aren't even a quarter as famous as Gayshuggah so they probably realize they aren't the shit, unlike gayshuggah who could say "LOOK HOW POPULAR WE ARE, WE MUST KICK ASS!"

Although I can forgive Municipal Waste for it, because... well... because its Municipal Waste :P.

Municipal Waste don't take themselves seriously, at all.

Watch any interview ever with them, you can tell live it's all a facade. lmao

Alright, it's more like mindless chugging - They aren't cool enough to shred.

Damn! You totally said that cause you know Haake writes some proper decent lyrics :P.

Actually, I have no idea what the lyrics are but I was just saying that disclaimer so you guys aren't just like "WE'RE CONTRADICTING OURSELVES, LYRICS ARE EVERYTHING"

Very philosophical and shit.

Bah, philosophy in music like this doesn't fit at all.

But I suck at analysis and I couldn't tell you what the meaning of any bands music is. I don't care for that stuff. But I bet someone could.

Psh, I bet the band could tell you.

That subtlety doesn't really work in Opeth for me. They just sound uninspired.

Then you probably won't like Riverside much, they are basically as subtle as a metal band you could possibly get.

But mine was better ;)... seriously, it was. So listen!

I was listening to yours actually(Because it was you, and I trust your opinion more than Mothballs)

it is much better, but the vocals are a MEGA turn off - They sound so bad.

Plus the video was retarded. hahaha

That was my first of their albums. It was shit. I honestly just don't like opeth. I find them bland and tasteless. I've tried many times to listen to their music, but it clashes with me. I find Akerfeldt to be a twat, and his screaming is bland, not to mention his cut/paste style of playing.

just my opinion though.

At 12/6/09 09:02 PM, burnoutfool wrote: just my opinion though.

That's all opinions, I admit.

But Mike is not a twat, he is actually a really awesome guy.

And he is entirely self-taught, when it comes to guitar, when it comes to vocals and when it comes to songwriting.

Riverside - Rainbow box

He's mediocre at best. Garm is a much better musician. So is Ildjarn.

I didn't say I didn't respect him, I just said that he's mediocre and his music is bland.

Besides, Lantlos beats the shit off Opeth any day.
