I picked up an album called "Higher" by an industrial metal (if you could call it that) band called Treponem Pal. It's not very good. I don't suggest it. I only got it because it was a dollar, the album cover was interesting, and I figured it would be laughably bad (which it is). I'm giving it to a friend for his birthday, along with a VHS tape called "Predators of the Wild; Hunters and Hunted" and the Men in Black soundtrack.

Didn't get much in the way of metal this Christmas unless your definition of Metal could encompass the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and a couple of Discworld books.

Also, my girlfriend broke up with me because I don't drink or smoke. Shit sucks, but I perservere.

Wow, not judging or anything, but that's a stupid reason to break up with someone. She'll probably get with a loser and fail at life. You have a good attitude though man, good job, and good luck.

I didn't either, but I did get Castlevania Lords of Shadow, which I guess would be pretty metal if I played some Iron Maiden to it or something.

hey better have a DLC to the ending of Fallout New Vegas or im trading this shit in!!! It's retarded to not be able to play after beating the game, do you know how fucking hard that was?!!! They forced me to drink out of a urinal for health!!!!!

That's kinda bullshit, but it's probably best in the long run. It's hard to date someone who doesn't party, when you do (or vice versa). Young love sucks but you'll manage.

Yeah, apparently I was being too "restrictive" or something. I don't know.

Thanks. Pretty much all the girls I know right now are either cookie-cutter binge drinking whores or naive Puritans, so I think that's me off women for a while. Lol.

I know, right? It's a fucking bullshit way to make a quick buck. Leave out the ending and sell it for half the price of the game. Should be in the next DLC or the one after that, if you've got the Xbox version.

I vaguely recall it being a word in Black Speech. But Varg's not so much a fan of Lord of the Rings as he is a neo-Pagan conspiracy theorist who's read Lord of the Rings and somehow interprets it as Anti-Christian propaganda (it was written by a devout Catholic, mind).

Yeah, high school (or whatever it is you call it) isn't the best place to find worthwhile girls, hahaha. It sucks but it's true. That's why I tend to like older girls (even though I've dated two girls a year younger). Anyway, ya just gotta wait it out!

A new Opeth album, Gojira EP, Obscura album, and now The Faceless are recording a new album.

2011 is going to be a great year.

No, I serve Caesar like a true barbarian.

People think heavy metal started with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in the 1970s. I find this to be false. Heavy metal really started in 1867... with THIS.

Aww, that's a good gift. My best friend just bore a child, and my other best friend is the happy father, so that was pretty cool to see. I haven't seen a baby in a while. I fed him the other day. He's growing up fast too. My girlfriend's dog also had four puppies just tonight. LIFE RULES!

Yup, Varg has named is band Burzum, which means "The Dark" in Black Speech.

Behemoth is a plateau in Mordor
The band Blind Guardian has a full-lenght album named Nightfall in Middle-Earth.
Balrog is a demon that lives in the mines of Moria

There is a thousand more bands with lyrics or names about Tolkien's work.

Btw, I'd like to get some good recommandations of bands with Tolkien lyrical themes, plus... I'd like Blind Guardian fans to tell me where I should start with this band. Thx !!!

Check out Summoning, black metal band who along with Tolkien themed lyrics have a whole song written in the Black Speech or Mordor.

I listenned to some of their stuff a year ago or so... and wasn't quite impressed. You think they are good? Maybe I should give them another chance... Any album I should start with?

Well, there's Lothloryen and Dünedain. Pretty good Power Metal bands with LOTR themed lyrics.

It's really spelled "Lothlorien" and "Dúnedain" in the books, but I'm sure that won't bother you too much. Also, Dünedain sing in Spanish.

As for Blind Guardian, you're pretty much okay starting anywhere. All their albums are pretty good.

Behemoth is the name of an extremely large and powerful beast that only God can tame, mentioned along with Leviathan in the book of Job. So no, not really a LOTR reference there.

Aha same for my sisters son, apparently whenever I played my guitar when she was preggers he kicked like a crazy dude, so here's hoping I can get him into some metulz.

Feb.15, Motorhead with Valiant Thorr and Clutch, just might make this one.

My birthday :D

It really sucks to see their standards. A friend of mine commented today on how sickening it is for scene kids to get a relationship easily while we struggle to get someone.

Oddly enough, I never noticed them as a kid. However, I suppose it's a good thing since those harpy breasts... Nasty.

Speaking of which, I bought this album at HMV today for a birthday present for someone I know. He's turning 50 tomorrow and he's asked everyone to give him a CD of any choice regardless of genre. Quite a scary thing to ask since he could be given someone he utterly despises. If I asked people to do a similar thing, what are the odds of getting a Slipknot CD?

As much as I love all their albums (even A Twist in the Myth), I don't think throwing new listeners with a random album is a good idea. Battalions of Fear isn't a typical Blind Guardian album while A Twist in the Myth is their weakest effort which might not grab the attention of new listeners very well.

Most girls are whores nowadays. It's better to look for a match. But alotta times they dont live in your state or some shit. That's why you just wait and let them come to you. Online seems to work out well at least for me it did lol.

It's french rap, which is awesome

and breakdowns are not bad, unless you have 45 of them per albums...

I love Benighted :D They're so awesome lol it's different even if its got a random rap section it still sounds awesome.

Well X-mas was pretty good to me this year, I got a 32' HDTV :D so now my PS3 looks amazing.

Also, I dont mean to advertise but my band Bestial Remains just released our new song Hung and Quartered. I really would like some reviews or thoughts on it. Here's the link:

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Is this really what people think? I love A Twist in the Myth.

today a friend of mine claimed that opeth and dream theater are the laughingstocks of the metal world/community. Thoughts?

Opeth? I don't think so.

It's actually true. Especially Dream Theater.

Cept it's not really. Maybe the pseudo-macho part of the Metal world. We all know the geeky side can't reach climax without something from Images and Words playing in the background.
And the pseudo-macho side are all geeks anyway.

And Ryan that sucks, and is weird.

Also, I've not been around much and probably won't until I get in the mood for sitting at my computer much. Spending most of my time either with people, playing Fifa or watching football. It won't last. Merry Christmas fellas.
