  1. Welcome! For the record, I think that only later Slayer is overrated.
  2. I think that now it is easier to come across bad music. The internet allows anyone to upload their songs, as opposed to when music would have to be produced in physical copies. That being said, the internet has certainly had a democratizing effect on metal (I like searching for new songs/bands too).
  3. I haven't watched a Marvel movie in a long time, but the first Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the best that they produced.
  4. That is the problem for me. I have only so much time to listen to music, and have to decide whether I would prefer to explore something new or keep studying something old. Both paths have merit, but a choice must be made. But we can only experience the past as a now, not as a past. Thus we are perpetually locked in a now. The past simply represents a list of potential nows. The music of the present is another now. It appears that we can only experience one now at a time. From this standpoint, both new and old music would be experienced in the same manner, and would thereby possess equal value by your metric.
  5. Cool! I like Behemoth quite a bit, and Amon Amarth was one of the first Death Metal bands that I got into. While I am not a fan of Deathcore, I was always impressed by the vocalist in Job for a Cowboy. No Dissection?
  6. For some reason, I tend to like the cleaner versions of Absurd songs. I think that I tend to prefer the later vocals. I also think that the more victorious sound of the songs in later incarnations tend to correspond better to the lyrical content than raw versions. It is definitely one of those infamous underground releases that are know more for their cover than the music - not unlike "Dawn of the Black Hearts."
  7. Welcome to both of you! What bands/genres do you like?
  8. "Thuringian Pagan Madness" - Absurd @salmonellapancake, I must admit that I preferred the later version of these songs, though the raw version of Pesttanz was awesome. Overall, a great ep, thanks for the recommendation. "Thematic Emanation of Archetypal Multiplicity" - Blut Aus Nord More industrial ambient than black metal, but very interesting nonetheless.
  9. I will check it out in the next few days!
  10. I really need to listen to this album.
  11. Well... someone managed to find enough information to include their experiences in a book.
  12. Thanks, I will have to check them out! And yes, I like Blut Aus Nord very much.
  13. Honestly, the whole situation was unfortunate.
  14. How long have you played the bass?
  15. Natural selection I suppose...
  16. Mostly black metal and industrial ambient stuff, and I am trying to get into electronic music. What is dark wave?
  17. "Der Wolkenwanderer" - Bilskirnir "Asgardsrei" - Absurd
  18. Welcome! What genres/bands do you like to listen to?
  19. If I remember correctly, they were either doing it to try and stay awake, or as a stunt. I don't own the book anymore, so I cannot say for sure which. Either way, their deaths stemmed directly from their own stupidity (I mean, it must be common sense to know that it cannot be good for your health to ingest any large amount of a pure substance).
  20. I think they ended up dying...
