  1. Re: Ensiferum! PIcked up From Afar last year on a whim. Liked the art and packaging and thought I'd take a chance. Thoroughly enjoyed it too. Cracking album. I enjoy listening to it in the car at night whilst drunk (and not driving, obvs.)
  2. Re: Bal-Sagoth Great band. I really should purchase some more of their stuff.
  3. Anybody into this sort of stuff? I've heard it dubbed 'ultra doom' too, but that sounds like a snuff movie. The whole 30+ minute song thing, doom slowed waaaaaaaay down to a literal crawl. Stuff like Otesanek, Khanate & Bunkur?
  4. Re: Djent Not sure how you can compare Sikth and Meshuggah, I'd say Sikth were a lot more widdly and whacky, and defintely not nearly as down tuned. And also not very good. Where did this Djent term come from then? It's a new one to me.
  5. Re: VEGETARIANISM I know plenty of vegetarians who have done it through personal choice rather than some big crusade to change the planet. Some just don't like the idea of eating things that were once living. I Know some who have done it for health reasons, other's who have done it because they don't trust where meat has come from and some simply don't like meat. Don't see a problem myself.
  6. Re: MESUGGAH Makes mathematics exciting with riffage
  7. Re: Dissection Silly bastard Offed Himself. Pfft.
  8. Re: Ensiferum Chance Purchase. Liked it lots.
  9. Re: what's the most metal thing you own?
  10. Greetings all, I am Christian, the name, not the religion. I live in Nottingham UK (or will be in a couple of weeks anyway), and I like all kinds of metal, as well as a lot of other stuff. I have been known to play in bands but these days opt for the quiet lazy life, although I am working on a project that I won't have to gig with I'm a massive grumpy bum. Look forward to talking to you all! p.s. Drummers- get in touch if you fancy being part of a recording project. Extreme blasty evil stuff.
  11. Re: Black Metal This is cute. Quite enjoying it. Currently been enjoying Ruins of Beverast, Annthennath, Avsky, Ildjarn, Maniac Butcher, and a lot of Darkthrone. I like all kinds of black metal and related genres, but then again I like all kinds of different stuff, as I'm sure many of you do!
  12. Re: Anti Black Metal I think for one to discuss demon worship first and foremost requires an acknowledgement of God being real, and most black metal uses demonic imagery not to say "woah man, we worship satan dude" but to act in opposition for Christian beliefs. Bear in mind that Christianity swept through many cultures, destroying old traditions and faiths by killing those that refused to convert. We could just as easily call Christianity as dangerous as 'demon worship' in this case. So what of power metal? Is it fair to accept stories of people slaying Orcs and mighty warriors? Isn't that going too far into the realm of myth and non-biblical truth? Some would say so. In fact, if you're a Christian who's Theological training has taught him about demon's you should probably avoid power metal for the same reason. It talks of mythical beasts magic and such. Isn't it all just stories and metaphors? Admittedly, black metal has been more synonymous with church burnings and murders, but Gary Glitter molested children, yet we don't see a backlash against glam rock do we? Whilst I am for freedom of speech, arguments about demons and 'theology' don't really do much for me when they appear to have no sound basis. Does your theology consist of racist hicks teaching you about Jesus as a loving white hippy, or is he a stinking radical outcast with a chip on his shoulder? I know which is more historically and theologically sound. Shame most Christians don't.
