I've been trying to get into Industrial Black Metal recently and it wasn't going well, and then I found Mortiis.
Goddamn, he's funny-looking; but I heard he's a real bro.
Weird combination of the worst clichés of both genres... the guy looks like a retard...
I also feel kind of uncomfortable with Industrial and Black Metal being mixed together. Industrial is a very commercial genre of music. The scene associated to it is all about buying gaz mask, long black boots, black coats, leather. There is a big fashion behind it, and Industrial music being rather simple, it also has a large fanbase composed of real fans, of course, but also of posers and gothic kids. And Black Metal... as far as I'm concerned, isn't supposed to be commercial. In fact, the whole aesthetic and ideology behind BM isn't commercial in the slighest. Bringing the two together... is just weird... at least to meâEU¦

Gorguts are sweet, and Obscura is a hell of tech-death album, I recommend that everyone check it out at some point. Didn't one guitarist that also provided vocals die just last month too? Sucks, his guitar playing and vocals were monstrous, and I heard he had a lot to do with the writing on Obscura.
I have yet to listen to Obscura. I couldn't find it online two days ago. I might do some more research so I can finaly hear this. And yes, one of the two guitar players died this year... terrible news for his family and friends, but also for music...

Wintersun's Time I just got dated 19th October for release date.
Safe to trust them yet?
What was the original release date ? Wasn't it somewhere in October 2008 ? I really don't know if we can trust them just yet. Still, I feel that they wouldn't give us a release date after all this time if they were not a hundred percent sure they could make it... Well... I hope so...

I'm just looking forward to during the end of the development cycle for Time II, Jari claims Time III will be required. You only wonder where Wintersun would have been right now without this hellish of a long time development for the album(s).
Hopefuly, I will live to see them release Time III.
