It sure is. I already had to re-listen to some songs on the album after the first listen. I suppose I can get this with some of my 21st birthday money depending on how much I get.

Too bad they only released one album... I've been craving for a second album, for ages !!!

Is there a bad omen for new bands releasing excellent debut albums? First Wintersun, then Blotted Science... Next is Ghost?

The only way you can "waste money" on Last.fm is the subscription. To me, it's nothing special besides seeing who's visited your page.

On his DVD, Ron Jarzombeck explains the structure of the track Oscillation Cycles. Just listenning to the music, you can realise how much of an awesome song-writter and musician he is. But when you really understand the structure, the progression, chord patterns and writting process... you can't do anything else but admit that this guy is a genius.

Actually, based on rumors I've heard, Blotted Science should be releasing an EP this year. Maybe that will satisfy your craving for new Blotted Science.

I know all of those bands except for Watain. Thanks man, I'll check them out.

Also thanks again to Sense-Offender for that great list. I fell in love with Darkestrah.

I love seeing duff get angreh over nothing.

it tickles my wiener more than old school Michael Jackson.

It's duff, he shouldn't even be a horseman in the first place because he shits his pants over nothing.

He's probably going to respond to this post with an essay about he is oh-so-deserving and how i'm just a dick, when I really just tell things the way they are.

I agree.

You should see Oliver get him all riled in the last.fm club.

New Dream Theater. Thoughts?

Personally I feel the best thing, by far, in it is the keyboards Rudess has going on. The rest is subpar, but nothing bad.

Hey duff, i'm sorry to call you out like that.

Yeah, the song is nothing particularly special but maybe it's a grower. I can definitely notice a difference between this and the last two albums. Maybe Dream Theater will take a lighter approach?

Pure metal!

Sometimes I wonder how appropriate it would be to buy some of you lego as a gift for fear of you trying to fucking eat the pieces and ending up choking to death on them.

I'm having a little bit of a problem. I absolutely fell in love with Darkestrah (thank you Sense-Offender) and I want to buy one of their albums, but none of them are on Amazon.

I know you guys listen to a lot of underground bands, so does anyone know how to purchase an album from a really unpopular band?

Find a distro that has it or their label.

That's pretty cool, thank man, but the problem is that I want another album besides "The Great Silk Road". I want "Embrace of Memory". It seems like I can only find the Great Silk Road, can you (or anybody else) help me out with this? :(

Thanks man, that looks great, unfortunately I don't have the money just yet but I hope that still stays there.

So apparently Down is going to release 4 EPs all connected through artwork, I don't know the rate at which they are expected to be released, but the first one is said to be released late 2011. (But I don't think it will get released until at-least 2012.)

anyone else heard about this?

I really like how you write reviews and I'd like it if you could just write one for The Machinations Of Dementia. You don't need to post it to MA... but just for us, the guys from the Metal Hell, it would be awesome :)

Well, Blotted Science is a supergroup... so they are a lot different then Wintersun. I don't think that Blotted Science ever planned on being a full time band or whatever. I think the whole idea was to release one album and disband. Maybe the big succes of Blotted Science is what made me think that Ron Jarzombeck would go back to this someday.

I like last.fm because it keeps track of what you listen to. It's pretty useful to. I found out about a lot of gigs and new bands on that website. Having the chance to chat with people who share similar musical tastes is also a great plus, especially when you know that they could introduce you to a band you could really like. I like to look at my own charts to remember what tracks I used to listen to a lot, and maybe go back to them. See... I think it's a great tool for those who have a big musical library, because sometimes I forget about some artists I really like and last.fm helps me keep things organized :)

I suggest you guys go an look at almost all the posts smeagol1 intended to me and realise that he's always the one who's acting like a stupid 13 years old 4chan troll. He's always trying to diss me, and just look at how he reacted to all the attention we got from this stupid fight. Also, don't tell me that "I reacted just the way he wanted me to", because he obviously didn't knew he was just plain wrong (again). He was just throwing insults at me (again)... convinced that he was right.

I'm not pissed off, I'm not angry, stop assuming I'm angry only cause I insult a kid who's always looking for a fight.

You make it sound like this is an obvious and objective fact. A lot of people have showed support to me, and I was elected as an Horseman afterall, I didn't steal this to you. You don't like it, that's fine, but stop whinning about it. It's pretty funny how you only do this when someone else from the Metal Hell is pointing out some kind of "bad behavior" of mine. You only get into this fight when you know there will be people on your side. That's opportunistic... and I don't like it.

Same thing for SomaGuye. No matter what the situation is, if there is a conflict between me and another member, you guys will always go against me without even rationnaly analysing the situation to really understand the matter.

Listenning to it right now. I'm only a few minutes into it, but it's not bad so far :) And judging from the very little I've heard so far, the new drummer is doing a fine job. What do you guys think of him?

I will really have to listen to the whole album, because this one track you provided is pretty cool :)

Hey duff, i'm sorry to call you out like that.

Say what?

It's not opportunistic.

It's called always jumping on the right side.

If other people were arguing with you and I felt you were right I would side with you. I have before, like on the Amon Amarth discussion.

As for caring about your horseman position, I really don't. I just think it's funny how the people who supported you all had like 200 posts and were relatively new to the club so yet to have a firm understanding of just how much you like to argue.

Also, I doubt there will ever be a new BS album. They've only actually played twenty or so concerts in what? Four years? haha

And these members are still around, for the most part. They were not some of these guys who post three times and disappear. They also were not "that new". Sure they were the members who joinned the club the most recently, but most of them had been around for more then 2 months or so, and I post on a regular basis. So they had plenty of time to read my posts and other members posts. And then, they decided to vote for me. Was I deserving? I don't know. But I'm there anyway, and I don't think I'm doing an horrible job. Sure I get into arguments every now and then. But what's so wrong about it? Maybe if I was fighting everybody all the time, you would have a good reason to complain. But what I did right there, and that is now turning into a shitstorm, was just answering smeagol the exact same way he adressed me. Yeah yeah, I should have been a lot more "mature" and just ignored his post. That's what I do most of the time... but this time I guess it did bother me to read such stupid shit.

Also, I doubt there will ever be a new BS album. They've only actually played twenty or so concerts in what? Four years? haha

I don't know if I'm right... but I thought Ron Jarzombeck really never played a lot of concerts... Plus Blotted Science always looked more like a studio band then a live band to me... Just like Liquid Tension Experiment, Blotted Science is a supergroup. And just like LTE, they don't play a lot of gigs. That didn't stop LTE from writting and releasing two albums.

Has anyone else checked out the new Mastodon single that's free to download on Adult Swim?

I haven't listened to a lot of Mastodon but it sounded like something on Crack the Skye

Apparently it's not going to be on the new album though

I don't think any of BS's members particularly enjoy playing concerts, nor do they have the time, but Blotted Science has played shows before.

I know they play one or two european festivals each year.

I also know that back in, I think, 2008 they did an eleven show US/Canada tour.

That all aside, I don't think they've really played any shows. So like I said, about twenty total.

Keep in mind I'm mostly focused on my Metal Monday posts. There is one album I really want to review right now but sadly it's not Blotted Science. If I'm to review The Machinations of Dementia, I'll need to listen to it 30 times. :P Only made two listens so far.

My sister managed to find someone who she met at the Opeth concert on Last.fm. It turns out the same person might be seeing Judas Priest live in Manchester.

I can be pretty obsessive with it. I do a little catch up thing where stuff I can't submit directly to Last.fm such as Beat Hazard I'll make a separate playlist for and put it on mute.

You'll reach the 30 times quite fast... It's such a great album you won't be able to resist ;)

I've talked with people from Montreal, France and even Irak on last.fm.

Because I have very low self esteem so making other people feel bad makes me feel better about myself.

If I were to buy an album off a band that I feel needs the support (underground bands), where is the best place to buy it? I've found a lot more underground black metal bands that I feel I want to support.

Maybe, but I think saying that is a bit uncalled for, as is what Smeagol said. The comment you made after he tried to recommend some doom metal wasn't too cool either. Why the beef, mang? You no hungry for beef. You hungry for hoooot poooockeeets.
