So I was at a party yesterday and I expected to be incredibly bored because I hardly knew anyone there. Then I started talking with this chick's dad and we got in a 2 hour long talk about metal, it was bad-ass. He was very knowledgeable. Then all the totally cool scene kids started blasting core and as soon as I heard that I took their iPod and replaced it with mine. We listened to Manowar for the rest of the party. The best part was when these two little girls, probably 6 or 7 years old started dancing and pretended to play the instruments.

I feel accomplished knowing that I got some kids into good music at an early age.

Also I realize that there might be a lot of tension and hate here. But we will always be brothers, Brothers of Metal.

Whiny? What?

I don't know. I don't think Blind Guardian have ever been very good at ballads, apart from the Bard's Song.

After Valkyries there's Control the Divine. An epic little number with good guitar and drum work. I can't call it amazing, but it's one of the better songs on the album.

That's funny because I find Valkyries and Control the Divine to be the weakest songs on the album.

To each their own.

A party with Manowar is better than a party without. Always.
I remember being in a pub with some folks before I went to see Electric Wizard down the road and they had Manowar on the jukebox. Even if their music isn't amazingly outstanding there is just something about hearing Manowar that makes life a little bit better :).

It's Youtube bro. Don't be a production whore anyway, that's for emo's a sceney boppers.

It's quarter past six in the morning. I miss having a girlfriend. Metal..... Metal will be my friend through this sorrow. Actually I've just thought about it and I can't have sex with metal so I'm going to has a sad.

You can dislike a specific genre of music because of the production, but I get what you mean and the "that's for emo's a sceney boppers." made me lol :)
It's true that these kids wouldn't like hardcore music if it was not produced the way it is. Just think about As I Lay Dying... When they first started, their sound was so different. I swear I never met any AILD fans who knew about their first few albums or liked that material.

Production can still change something to the way you will listen to the music though. Just listen to this song by Suffocation. And then listen to it when they play it live. There is a recording of a live show they did in Quebec but I couldn't find these tracks on YouTube. Anyway, the sound is not the same. While Suffocation had a sound that was closer to Old-School Death Metal sound on their earlier albums, they now record with a Modern Death Metal sound. There is a difference, not located in the riffs, but in the ambience and general feeling of the song.

Speaking of Behemoth, Nergals not very well. link.

I was told that Legion (ex marduk) is in a new band. I forgot the name my freind told me so does anyone know the name?

Also Mortuus is a douchebag.

Yeah he is in Witchery now.

Their first album is amazing by the way. I highly recommend it to everyone. Legion is only on their newest though.

I hear Nergal has some kind of bone marrow illness. This does not boud well.

Nergal must recover or else it would completely ruin the year for me

Also, I would like some Blackened Death metal recommendations

My favourite album of all time is Dream Theater's Awake. I think the vocal performance is the best I have ever heard out of any singing on any album. The guitar, better than anything I've ever heard. The drumming fantastic. The way they play around with themes. I know everything that's going to happen, but it doesn't put me off because I want it to happen, unlike say in Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction, I know everything that's going to happen but I don't enjoy it because it's predictable.

Awake is just my favourite album ever. It is yet to be topped in love. I love some other albums a lot but nothing like my love for Awake.

Best. Album. Ever.

Similar stories?

Fucking Filosofem is so good. Great black metal album.

Oh yeah and Bullet for my Valentine are really shit.

Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Belphegor - Pestapokalypse VI
Hypocrisy - Obsculum Obscenum (Much more black/death than melodeath.)

They're all awesome.

I love how you guys are getting all bent out of shape over Nergal.

On the topic of Nergal, every time I hear that name I think of the gay little grey cat from Garfield.

Anything by Panzerchrist, particularly Battalion Beast. Also, Goatwhore is pretty good.

I was giving Testament's The Legacy and Exodus' Bonded by Blood a listen today and I probably underestimated both albums. Although The Legacy is still a 6/10 or 7/10 for me, there's still some good stuff found in the album. As for Bonded by Blood, it's rifftastic.

Lawl.

That was his manly moustache for the meet. Despite all the effort he put into growing that moustache, Luis didn't get around to giving him a free beer. Ah well, Coop still looked badass.

Oh, I particularly enjoy their ballads. I still find that whiny statement quite a stretch, though.

Ah well, I'm glad you're enjoying them more than I am. Despite listening to them around 25 times now, they still don't stick in my head that well.

I may not be into Behemoth but I sure hope Nergal recovers from his illness. 2010 has had enough ugly moments already.

Well I could say, Opeth, or Sleep, or one of those so respected bands here just to look good, but I don't care, I'm saying the truth, I love BFMV, they're awesome to me.

Also Opeth is on my Top 10.

Have you never seen the cartoon on Nick? That's definitely a female voice actor doing Nermal's voice.

Don't worry. I did too when I was a kid. I just watched the tv show because the comics annoyed me.
