Re: Best lines For those who stood beside me I'm glad you understand Behind these written words I share the simple plan To hang on to the way that we feel. -Death, "Perennial Quest" Embraced within the coils of set I have no fear of the second death Of being slashed with knives Of being butchered on the slaughtering blocks No god or demon will feed on my entrails or drink my blood No blind servant of the throne of Ra Shall I willingly allow to devour me No consuming flames of uttermost damnation shall I fear No tongue speaking words of redemption shall ever penetrate my will Darkly splendid I remain unconquered! -Nile, "Those Whom the Gods Detest" From the day my eyes first open Voices inside started speaking Lullabies like faded memories of an Eden in eternal spring Where at will colors reappear, where creation blooms in rejoice Dodging away its mourning mantle In horizon ablaze, the sun shone On those mourning themselves, slowly given back their senses Given courage to hold on longer and a goal to breathe for - Augury, "The Lair of Purity"

Re: Which Sub-Genres Have The Best Lyrics? Normally I wouldn't generalize an entire subgenre of metal as having good lyrics. However, most of my favorite bands for lyrics come from the progressive/technical death metal realm.

Re: Recommended Black Metal bands? When you say symphonic/depressive, are you looking for one band that combines both? 'Cause that'd be really hard to find, especially since depressive is normally very lo-fi, while symphonic bands tend to make a point of sounding sharp and clear. But at any rate, Luna Ad Noctum is an excellent symphonic black metal band from Poland. The only complaint I have with them is that they don't really end their songs in very interesting ways. They'll be in the middle of something epic, and it'll just cut off. But other than that, they have lots of awesome, epic, and emotionally stunning riffs. w4-hdhnWnkY As for depressive, there's a band from Australia called Abysmal Sorrow. They combine depressive black metal with funeral doom for double the emotional impact. CENhgXYgQjM Enjoy!

Re: Rate the song above you! YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!! I just love when a fast technical band can pull off something slow. Hence my obsession with Nile, Morbid Angel, and Behemoth. 10/10. Anyway, I figure I'll continue in the doomy direction here... IYmqxaR9r0Y

Re: Rate the song above you! 10/10. It's fuckin Dio. AXPinvtDt2o Probably the most haunting death metal I've ever heard...it never fails to give me goosebumps.

Re: Favorite bands? Testament (first true metal I ever heard was the album "The Gathering." I hit puberty all over again that day) Death (thought their logo looked cool, so I listened to scavenger of human sorrow and loved it) Nile (never fails to give me the epic goosebumps) Deathchain (eased me into death metal but I still find them awesome and underrated) Vital Remains (first death metal I'd ever heard was "Icons of Evil" and I thought it was horrible. Now I love them)

What are your favorite extreme thrash, death/thrash, or black/thrash bands? Mine are: Deathchain Legion of the Damned Demolition Hammer Dark Angel Final Breath Sarcofago Witchaven Desaster Hypnosia Nocturnal Breed Aura Noir and lots of others that I can't think of right now.

Re: Cynic new album!!!!!!! It will be released on the 15th of november.

Lately Paul Masvidal announced that there will be a new Cynic record soon called "Carbon Based Anatomy". YEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Re: what got you listening to metal? I was nine or ten years old the night my dad brought home "The Song Remains The Same" DVD from blockbuster. I've never been the same since. As far as metal, I actually used to really not like it at all. Then I finally got warmed up to (sigh) bulletformyvalentine (dodges thrown objects). But then once I got bored of them, I started looking for heavier stuff, and I found Testament and Sodom. You should've heard me the next morning. I had this friend that I used to listen to BFMV with all the time, and the moment we saw each other I practically screamed "DUDE, THERE'S THIS BAND FROM GERMANY CALLED SODOM, AND THEY'RE FASTER AND HEAVIER THAN SHIT!!!" That kid now thinks I'm crazy because of my music tastes. haha. But honestly, in my search for metal, for a long time I'd never had anybody reccomend me a band in person. I've pretty much always done my own research.

Re: Most Metal thing to eat for breakfast? Scene kids with a nice side of Justin Bieber fangirls. Isn't it obvious?

Re: CLOTHES On warm days, I wear loose fit shorts (as long as they're not falling off my waist, but that's why I use belts for their original purpose). I have a pair of camos that I cut off at knee level. On cooler days, I wear straight or loose fit jeans or cargos (again with a belt). Other than that, I got Death, Testament, Morbid Angel, and Metallica for metal band shirts, as well as several classic rock shirts. I've also got this sleeveless plaid thing that I pretend is a battle jacket... It's so funny. My mom keeps giving me fashion advice and telling me I have the ugliest clothes she's ever seen. I always try to tell her how much worse it could be...haha.

Re: Good metal bands Death, Cynic, Nile, Legion of the Damned, Warbringer, Augury, Havok (nothin but fun fast thrashiness), old Morbid Angel, Obituary, Dismember, Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Holy Moses, Desaster, Emperor, Borkagnar, Naglfar, Luna Ad Noctum, Belphegor, Hellwitch, Bathory, Witchaven, Celtic Frost, Angelcorpse, Vital Remains, Dying Fetus, Cryptopsy...

Re: Letter song Nile- Nas Ankhu Khan She En AsbiU

Re: Rate the song above you! I'm a fan of the song, but not the music video. I'll be honest- around about 1:26 I was waiting for the disco ball to fall on the singer's head. But anyway, impressive guitar solos, and I like the singer's high and low range. Lots of feeling and expression overall. It's hard to get into the video though. 7/10. This one is just fun to blast LOUD. f3R2uE2l8R4

Re: Songs That Make You Cry The Lord of the Rings soundtrack composed by Howard Shore. Brings back memories...I remember when the Return of the King came out, I was about ten, and I was trying as hard as I could not to show my dad and my brother that I had just been crying my eyes out. ZCQ53pWxDcE

Re: Anti Black Metal Every genre has stuff I like and stuff I don't. There is some black metal I love, yet I think in general, I think I have found more black metal that I'm not a fan of than any other genre. Or at least, I've been unable to find a lot of memorable black metal. Emperor, Melechesh, Borkagnar, and especially Ne Obliviscaris are amazing. I'm also a big fan of Belphegor, Destroyer 666 and Angelcorpse. However, Mayhem, Dark Throne, Dark Funeral, etc. have never held my attention for more than two minutes. Sometimes it puts me right to sleep. I guess I'm more of a fan of black-influenced metal than black metal itself. And as for the thematic stuff, there is such a thing as progressive black metal. I've already mentioned Borkagnar and Ne Obliviscaris as two bands who are really there to make good music and not rely on satanism, corpse paint, and publicity stunts.

Re: Rate the song above you! Pretty good. I liked how it was melodic at times whithout becoming "whimsical." That's not to say I don't love whimsical moments even in metal, but it's cool that they can avoid it if they want to without completely avoiding progressive elements. 8/10. Now you can't mention french tech death without giving the french canadians a little love. wrAHhZuSeSY

Re: Death I wasn't around for Death at their prime, so I don't really have a concept of how popular they were. However from what I heard, they never really were that huge in the big picture. And you know what I honestly think? As long as "Death" isn't as well known of a name as Slayer, Metallica, or Pantera, to me, they're UNDERRATED.

Re: Ban the user above you! Banned for typing in caps lock.

Re: Rate the song above you! No better song has been written in the history of the world. I was gonna give it an 8/10 but now I'm gonna give it an ?/10. Now I'm strangely obsessed with the really catchy drum beats in this song. Makes me want to dance around like a snake. gwj3gFNqc4k

Re: Slasher movies I love a good psychological horror movie, and I'm not into "gore" movies really. However, anything can be awesome when well-placed. And I know a few movies where one good gore scene made the whole movie worth watching. One of them was "Mirrors" where the chick gets her jaw ripped out... Nevermind, just watch it yourself. qHMZZBNG-0k

Re: classical? I'm a big fan of the classical "impressionist" movement that came out of france. Particularly composers like Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, etc. I am also obsessed with Howard Shore (composer of Lord of the Rings film score) and this group called Elend.

So I was just wondering if there were any general jokes about metalheads or metal music. So far I only know one, so I'll start. How many brutal death metalheads does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Just one, but they're too busy beating a puppy to death with it. Any one else know any others? Other than the "Warrior" one?

Re: Rate the song above you! Cool! Reminded me of a cross between viking metal and doom metal. I'll give it an 8/10. 9ItETLB23Pw Easily my favorite black metal song. 0:56 is where it gets better than an orgasm.
