Atrocity

That's good' date=' man, but you still should be careful. That shit is no joke. My knees were great, but I was riding my bike to and from work and carrying a lot of stuff up a lot of stairs. One day I woke up with my left knee swollen up. It looked like there was a golf ball under my kneecap. I couldn't bend it or straighten it all the way. That was two and half years ago. I still don't have full range of motion, and my other knee is messed up from compensating. It literally happened overnight, and I can't be sure what caused it.[/quote'] Well this is scarey :/

Katatonia - Ghost of the sun

Porcupine Tree - Shallow

Finishing my first 3 years of college (we have a 3+2 system here) and continuing with the other 2 Also, concerts. The more the merrier

Hello!!

Nevermore - Believe in nothing

I agree. I'm waiting for him to make another album. Good 2b alive came out in 2008.

Katatonia - Omerta

Moonrise - Unravel your soul I think this is a Polish bend. They are not metal. I can't find absolutely anything about them on the internet.

Stealheart - Can't stop me lovin' you

Metal can also have lyrics that are repetitive and without any sense. How many bands have those "satan this, satan that" lyrics that have no dept. You can find meaningful lyrics in pop music. They won't be in the hit song, but they will be on the album. Katy Perry for example, has hit song like I kissed a girl, but on the album you can find song with lyrics that talk about life problems, drogs (etc. Maybe the difference is that metal speaks about politics, religion, war and similar things more then pop does. Pop artist sing about broken hearts and happy relationships. Mostly. Not always. Musically, there is shit in pop and there is shit in metal. Yesterday I spent 3 hours on youtube listening to (to me) new bands, I found 3 that were good. Also, it depends of the metal genre. Honestly, if I was in a bar in the morning drinking my first coffee, Gorgorth would be the last thing I would want to listen to, while something more melodic, some heavy, goth even, that could do. For a while I tough I was the only idiot that dances to metal Sure you can dance to it, but... How should I say, it's not "expected" of you. If you go to a metal concert you want shake your booty, you'll headbang. If you go to a pop concert, nobody will headbang. So if metal became mainstream, so would headbanging, because it's the dance that "goes with it". Can you imagine a disco where everybody is standing in lines and flipping their hair around?

I always love to hear good screaming/growling but nothing can beat a beautiful clean voice

Never. Metal could never be "background" music played in commercials or before the evening news. There is a very good reason why metal isn't popular and we all know it: not everyone is capable to handle it. To understand it. And to love how deep and complex it is. And we all love it that way. I don't believe it would be the same music if it were popular, I think it would have taken a whole new direction. Let's be honest, pop is a very simple genre and that's one of the reasons of it's popularity: you don't have to think while listening to it. And that is not always a bad thing. It's relaxing. I'm not saying you have to be super smart to listen to metal, I'm just saying metal offers you something to think about, lyrically and musically, while pop usually doesn't. So I'm afraid "popular metal" would be a much simpler thing and very different from what it is now, because, as we see, they way it is didn't make it popular And let's be honest, no matter how much me love it, we must admit, if you want to dance you won't put Iron Maiden on, you'll put Gaga you can't properly dance to metal p.s. I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense and if I have a lot of errors but I'm sooo tired at this moment

Has anyone seen 47 ronin that new Kennu reeves flick

I'm reading English translations of Henning Mankell's "Wallander" series. Swedish detective novels. I liked the first one' date=' but he's getting more into international intrigue now and I don't think it suits him. Eh, whatever, it's better than watching CSI or Law And Order. I need to read Sherlock Holmes again, I loved it when I was younger.[/quote'] I started reading Scandinavian novels. I read Jussi Alder-Olsen's The Absent one and Jo Nesbo's Cockroaches. Both books are very interesting, so if you like Scandinavian crime novels you should try them (if you haven't already ) I finally started reading The Hobbit.

Yeah' date=' I love me some of the Ram! No, but I have heard 'of' it and keep meaning to check it out. May do so once this has finished. Really don't like interrupting my albums. [/quote'] here, I'll help you with a link

Hold off on the new one if you don't mind' date=' I'm going to see it with my wife in a little while.[/quote'] fair enough but do tell me your thoughts when you see it! I'll try another one: anyone saw The wolf of wall street?

Hell yes' date=' that bit in Taiwan Chinese is awesome. Takasago Army and Mirror of Retribution were both great albums.[/quote'] yeeees! I was trying to sing it now, I was hilarious! But the part is so beautiful that I can't help myself :D

Just finished The Rotted- Ad Nauseam: wicked album! Now on to Rammstein- Mutter... MEIN HERZ BRENNT

Was the new Hobbit already discussed here?

Chthonic - Takao I can't get enough of this song.

And enjoying it? I will never understand how people can like the new face of Samael. But hey, from the other side it's not my buisness what you like to listen to. I am listenning to Summoning - Caradhras. Old Mornings Dawn is such a great album... It really is, even if the intro and screaming eagle in some moments are a bit... Silly.
