any other death heads?

[Magicaltroll]

Well, I'm about to ask my mom to let me use her credit card to buy the CDs. I chose Anaal Nathrakh-Domine Non Es Dignus and Pig Destroyer-Terrifyer. I don't think the Pig Destroyer cover will go over too well though :lol:

I don't know, I really hope it isn't a problem. That would suck, because I want that CD so bad.

NP-Atra Mustum-Pain

I love the main riff for this, is sounds so... Creepy.

[Shadows]

You seriously can't find any Pig Destroyer CDs in stores? Terrifyer is so incredibley easy to find...where the hell do you live??

Quit your bitching, i'm in Missouri. I'd rather have little to nothing than nothing but country.

Lucky man, I have Piece of Time and Elements on vinyl so I'm waiting for the CDs which will hopefully have lots of bonus material.

I LOVE YOU! :D

does the download work?
cause I'm not really sure on packing files and stuff, but I think I've done it right :p

np: Peaccatum - Where Do I Then Belong

5 minutes left and then I need to download this rar program again (my PC crashed the last time I did)

[ATM]

I'm giving it a go, as well. :)

[the2stranger]

I must say, that I like this rar program, for the 2 weeks or so, that I have been able to use it.
but my pc skills are quite bad, I know how to get on the internet, and that's about it.
well , a bit more.

damn, I'm hungry.
I will have diner in a bit, hopefully

I can't stand Age of Silence... Winds are so much better.

[the2stranger]

I can't stand Age of Silence... Winds are so much better.

I disagree, I like the general flow of the music better with AoS than with Winds.
and I'm absolutley in love with Lazare's vocal chords :p

[Stoic]

Do you happen to know other bands sounding like Solefald (Pills Against The Ageless Ills especially) and Gorguts (Obscura) or any other avant garde that has heaviness?

But there's a recommendation there: if you get a chance to listen to WH, do it. They're not as crunchy as Gorguts/Solefald, but they might be what you're looking for. :thumb:

[Stoic]

argg...Windham Hell (along with Sieges Even) have been in my soulseek wishlist for weeks now but I cant find anything! Again, why cant you rip it? It has protection or something? Could this be because of the software you're using?

I think I'm running out of sstuff to recommend :(
I need more avant-garde myself too :p

things that I can still recommend, although they may differ quite a bit from Solefald:

Borknagar
Enslaved ( the Isa album)
and Diabolical Masquerade.

and Solefald's Neonism album has pretty much the same sound as pills against... ony the production isn't as crystal clear as on pills... and that hurts the release quite a bit IMO.
(it's not recorded typical BM style or anything, but just not as clear as pills.

I'm looking for more avant-garde stuff myself too, but the genre is quite difficult to explore.

[Stoic]

I'm already familiar with the bands you've mentioned. Go get me some more crunchy avant garde! :evil:

[Stoic]

Yup, you'd better do so :evil:

/rests while Dragunov desperately tries to fix the problem

[black\m/metal]

for avant-garde stuff even tho its by no means death metal, i Always go to Frank Zappa. That man is ammazing IMO. For death-metal Avant-garde you could always try Necrophagist i guess. More technical than avant-garde but thats the only band i can think of at the moment.

[RCA]

Nah, Necrophagist is pretty much just straight up tech-death.

[Stoic]

yup, I cant hear any avant garde in them but they're not pure straight up tech death either. I would call them neoclassical technical death :p

I need more of them on my computer, they are insane technically. Does anyone want to put up an upload?

I love the intro to Only Ash Remains.

EDIT: I love all their intros.

[Stoic]

I could upload some tracks off Epitaph. Do you have anything else besides only ash remains?

[Moses]

Not off of that album. I have some tracks on Offset of Petrefaction.

I really am starting to think that you and I are related afterall. :lol: Long lost brothers or something.

Yup, thanks to PaulG :thumb:

What band Stoic?

Windham Hell. According to metal-archives they're Ambient Neo-Classical Avant-Garde Metal so I guess you would like to check them too if not already. Did you go to that CD store today?

[the2stranger]

yes, I went to the metal store today, only to find they had quite a dissapointing amount of cd's that fit my tastes :(

I bought Winds- the imaginary direction of time, though :)
I think that I have no options left but to order via internet distros.
I asked if they had any sleepy time gorilla museum, and the dude said I should look at in the Pop music department, WTF!!?!?!!

EDIT:

do you have a Cd by Windham Hel now?
if so, could you send it? :D

[Stoic]

I asked if they had any sleepy time gorilla museum, and the dude said I should look at in the Pop music department, WTF!!?!?!!

:lol:
I got a similar reply when asking for the Chasm and Into Eternity. "Are you sure they're metal?".

Sleepy time gorilla museum play a style similar to Mr Bungle or am I horribly mistaken?

do you have a Cd by Windham Hel now?
if so, could you send it?

Yup, I got it from PaulG. If you have soulseek his user name is PaulG. If you cant get it this way sure I could upload it for you (though I warn you I'm slow)

EDIT

doh! and my soulseek user name is MysticalBard, if you're lucky you get 12k/s.

EDIT2

Moses, YSI hates me it's been 20 mins since the upload started and still hasnt been completed. I must leave now, I'll be back in an hour or so.

[the2stranger]

yes, that's a bit what it sounds like, but it's different too, it's jsut weird, and should NOT be classified as pop :angry:

I don't use soulseek, so a ysi would be much appreciated, or msn if you use that :)

[RCA]

That Windham Hell album was South Facing Epitaph, right? If it was, I might have to d/l it when I get home just so I can have the mp3's on my computer. I'd love to listen to weirded-out death metal while I browse the net without having to have my stereo on full-blast in the next room. :p

That Windham Hell album was South Facing Epitaph, right?

No, it was Reflective Depths Imbide. I can't say I'm impressed but certainly it's a very interesting and atmospheric listen based on neoclassical structures. I dislike the production though (=fan of crystal clear ones) Are all their songs instrumental? There are some with growls here and there but no actual singing.

It's cool take your time.

Are those videos from their live dvd?

And man, Richard Christy really sped it up Spirit Crusher, kind of annoying.

[RCA]

Speaking of Richard Christy...isn't he a reg on The Howard Stern Show now?

[sensitiveorgan00]

Yeah, I've seen him a few times there while I was browsing through the channels. It looks like he's having a good time, but he should get back into drumming - shouldn't let that talent go to waste.

[RCA]

Yeah, he should keep doing his thing in the music scene. I wonder what convinced him to stop?

[Riva]

Wow, those videos were brilliant. :)

[Mekkalayakay]

Yeah, he should keep doing his thing in the music scene. I wonder what convinced him to stop?

He is still a member of the band, Burning Inside, where he pushes his drumming abilities to the extreme. (Imagine him on Sounds of Perseverance, but faster, and even more nuts). Although I'm not the greatest fan of the band, I wish he would have completely stuck to his music, because he had great things coming for him. I always felt that he was being held back in Iced Earth, and I was sad to see him go, but I would have had him rather depart for a more technical, extreme band that needs a drummer like him, rather than a tv show. :-/

[manuscriptreplica]

Those vids are off the Live in LA DVD. I'm surprised most of you haven't seen it. And Chuck's voice is gay! 'ohhh yeah, **** yeah! L.A what's up!' :lol:

[Mekkalayakay]

Anybody into Death Machine? Yeah, they aren't death metal, but they are kind of like what Meshuggah is to death metal. It's more like heavy, prog metal.

The Live in LA DVD is very good though, but it took me about a half of a song to get used to his vocals live. They seemed pretty weird to me at first.

[Stoic]

yeah indeed. I'd like to hear pre human stuff with this voice. I love his accent: SPIRITTTT CRUSHERRRRR!

[Slapping Penguin]

I love the intro to Only Ash Remains.

Bloddy Oath that Bass at the start is very very cool.

[blackout]

Thanks a lot for those. If you have, please post them! :thumb:

No problem. I'm gonna rip the rest of the DVD, and will probably get at least one more up tonight.

Any requests? I'm thinking pull the plug.

His song voice wasn't that great either. Not to insult Death, but Live in L.A. had terrible vocals.

[manuscriptreplica]

I thought it was a bad DVD all up. There are bands that are so much better live. Chuck's voice sucked, there were mistakes everywhere, and Christie was sloppy as, speeding up and slowing down everywhere. And the bass tone is horrible, Clenderin really sucks tremendously.

[Corporal Compendia]

Well, yeah you said it best. I listen to/watch that CD/DVD pretty much on a basis of never.

[Chu]

Kinda stupid question, probably doesn't belong here.
Well what genre are Meshuggah? Like technical thrash? I think they have some thrash elements but maybe it's just me, I really like their music, but I cannot stand the singer for some reason.
So do they have any instrumentals, or are there any other (thrash?) bands which do anything remotely similar?

[Bartender]

I tend to just steer away from classifying them, as that inevitably provokes arguments from all quarters. I wouldn't call them thrash, though.

For similar artists, though, Mnemic and Scarve both have a Meshuggah sound to them. So, apparently, do a band called Textures, but I haven't heard them.

[RCA]

metal-archives states them as post trash.

/clears throat for ignorant idiot impersonation:

duh meshuggas are math metalz.


As for genre classifying that is indeed tough, in a way you could just be lazy about it and lump them into the progressive category just because of the drumming style alone.

If i liked the band more i could probably come up with a better genre for them than that, but every time i hear them i just think "well the drumming is top notch, but i dont like the song writing at all"

[RCA]

Again I state: Meshuggah is not thrash.

Until bands like them get more popular, there is no need to have a category. Just say "I like Meshuggah".

[RCA]

Just because a band has 2 thrash riffs in one of their songs, doesn't make them thrash.

EDIT: To Chu

[Chu]

Well, I didn't ever actually say they were thrash, so much, I just said I thought they had some thrash elements.. (i.e. The occaisonal thrashy riff)

[RCA]

Well, I didn't ever actually say they were thrash, so much, I just said I thought they had some thrash elements.. (i.e. The occaisonal thrashy riff)

Oh, I knew that. I was just saying otherwise though.

[Stoic]

"Elements and Unquestionable Presence will be released officially on August 30 (North America) and September 5 (Europe). Piece of Time will follow with a September 13 release (North America) and September 19 (Europe).

Shaefer:
"Now that they are done I can say 110% that this is the quintessential ATHEIST collection! It includes all the original classics plus tons of bonus tracks, incredible liner notes, and photos even the band has never seen until now. The art is expanded and more vibrant than ever and the sound has been remastered to pristine metal standards! The attention to detail in these reissues is outstanding and even if you had owned the records in their original pressings, you MUST have this in your collection as they are the definitive versions of the ATHEIST records."

I downloaded a Nile Cd a couple weeks ago and only could listen to it once. Their not that good IMO. Maybe I have to listen to it more to like 'em.

[RCA]

Yeah, Nile may take a few listens to grow on you.

[Bartender]

I like Nile. One of the first death metal bands I explored actually, I think.


Meh, I'm gonna look up those bands Bartender, any recommendations?

Textures only have one album, called Polar or Polars, I think. Mnemic, I've only ever heard one song (Ghost) by them, so I can't recommend an album. I bought Scarve's Irradiant a while ago, and I think it's still the only album I've ever returned for reasons other than it's being faulty. I remember it got good reviews though, and remember that I don't really like Meshuggah's style anyway.

[Chu]

After reading Bartender's Lateralus review, I noticed that he said the best scream ever recorded was in a Cryptopsy song. After reading, I got the song and gave it a listen.

Oh.My.God.

I'm going to guess Open Face Surgery.

[black\m/metal]

My fav. Cryptopsy scream/growl is in the beggining of Slit Your Guts.
Does anybody in this forum like Skinless? I really enjoy their music, although it may not be the most technical or anything like that, the way its recorded has a really nice punch to it, and I never hear anybody talking about them.
So i was just wondering if anybody else likes them?

[Mekkalayakay]

I'm going to guess Open Face Surgery.

Alright, thanks. I've only heard the None so Live version with Lacroix, but I'm downloading Worm's right now.

I always have liked his inhale/really high pitched screams at the end of Graves of the Fathers. They blow me away.

[Jondur]

You might want to check out Ominous from Sweden.

I really like Ominous. I th ink it's a real shame that they've never really got much attention. I interviewed Soren the guitarist after The Spectral Manifest was released - it seems that the band all live about 500 km apart!

But anyway - they're a lot more melodic than Meshuggah (and are better) but still do the polyrythmic thing.

[the2stranger]

Again I state: Meshuggah is not thrash.

Does anyone know a website where I can order or get mp3's of Repulsion's early demos?


again I state: metal-archives states them as post trash, they have some trash alements though, and not it's not simply trash, it's stated as POST trash.
that makes a whole lot of difference. post black metal, or post rock, differ a lot from thier original genres.

because I'm a lazy bum, I just call them technical death metal ( although that isn't accurate)
and I have all of thier cd's and the first few albums have quite a lot of trashy elements.

np: Opeth - ghost of perdition
:shifty:

[Stoic]

But the Atheist news is good. Really, really good.

[br3ad_man]

Hell yes.

[Stoic]

Me too but only if they were to release an album equal to their status. Imagine, Atheist live! *sigh*

[Corporal Compendia]

I'd want an Atheist reunion, but only if they have it in them to write another great album.

But if they came back just to do shows, well that's great too!

[Bartender]

I would love a reunion, if only for the live shows. The chances of them touring the UK seem remote, though.

[Bartender]

It's not news, just us being hopeful.

Think of the chances of them touring Down Under. :-/

I can't really see the clear cut thrash elements to Meshuggah. But, I guess Post Thrash works for them.

Any recommendations for Ominous?

What are some good Cryptopsy albums besides None So Vile?

[Stoic]

[Huber]

What are some good Cryptopsy albums besides None So Vile?

I don't think they have a bad one really.

[Stoic]

Die hard Lord Worm fans might disagree

[mchsguitargod]

Sliptallica is right, anything by Cryptopsy is good.

Does anyone here like Anata?

[Bazarov]

What are some good Cryptopsy albums besides None So Vile?

Whisper Supremecy is pretty good. But it isn't Lord Worm on vocals.

[Mekkalayakay]

Whisper Supremecy is pretty good. But it's Lord Worm on vocals.

You mean DiSalvo?

[Magicaltroll]

Whisper Supremecy is pretty good. But it's Lord Worm on vocals.
You say that like it's a bad thing :p

[Bazarov]

Woops, I made a mistake. Lord Worm isn't on Whisper Supremecy. I was totally in a None So Vile state of mind.

[HappyMarshmellow]

If you like None So Vile, get Blasphemy Made Flesh and the Ungentle Exhumation demo.

And Then You'll Beg has a completely different approach, but is more agressive and listenable than Whisper Supremacy.

They both have a few good songs you shouldn't miss though, like Shroud and Cold Hate, Warm Blood, respectively.

[Bazarov]

It seems most people don't like Whisper Supremecy. It's my favorite Cryptopsy Cd... I'll probably get slaughtered for this but I like DiSalvo's vocals more than Lord Worm.

[RCA]

DiSalvo sounds like a vocalist from a modern hardcore band, which is the reason he didn't appeal to me. The albums which he appeared on had great music though.

NP: Draugar - I Come As A Curse

[Bazarov]

I guess your right, I like Lord Worm but for some reason DiSalvo's vocals appeal to me more. I'm going to see them soon with a friend of mine, he saw them last time they were here and he said that Lord Worm has one of the best stage presences (sp) ever.

[mchsguitargod]

I perfer Lord Worm too, but it's really hard to compare them because their styles are competely different.

[Bazarov]

Maybe it's because I hardly listen to None So Vile. I like the CD but I've had it for about 3 months and only listened to it fully through about 5 times. If I listen to it more, I'll probably get more into Lord Worm's style.

I can't wait till I get a car though. Drive past all the wiggers that hang around my school parking lot and blast Crown of Horns over they're lame music.

[Riva]

I like Lord Worm better, but DiSalvo is by no means the worst vocalist ever. I have to say that None So Vile is my favourite Cryptopsy CD, however.

Enslaved are black metal. Also classifeid as viking metal. good band none the less.

[ATM]

Yea, I just started listening to them rescently. I like them a lot.

[Mekkalayakay]

I see a lot of people saying DiSalvo sounds like he should be in a modern hardcore band, but........no. Yes, that would sound incredibly good for a change, since I'm not really into the typical hardcore vocals, but I enjoy his voice.
As for who's the better vocalist, Worm or DiSalvo, they both are completely different, so there's no reason to compare.

[RCA]

Honestly, Cryptopsy aren't that exciting IMO.

[Bazarov]

Hmmm, they're one of my favorite Death metal bands. Though right now, Brutality is at the top of my list.

Don't feel that way. If you like what you're listening to at the moment, then that's definitely cool. Don't feel like you have to know an X number of bands to impress anybody (if that is indeed how you feel).

[Slapping Penguin]

Everbody I would just like to say thank you for getting me into Death Metal. Although I still have very little compared to you fellas its a start, thank you. I'm liking Necrophagist, Morbid Angel, Crytopspy, Death, Cynic, Symbiontic and I am going to try some Vader and Athiest next. Its just so good. Sure some people think its weird (I'm tiny for my age and scrawlny my friends all like Punk and think its werid that I love metal) that I like the stuff but man when I'm riding to school by my self I just crack on Phobophile by Crytopspy I just can't not think how its great to discover this music. Thank you Death Heads.

Thanks Stoic your one of the guys that I really respect on this site I hope you and I will continue to have good talks. With people talking about Death Metal subgenres I know that Necrophagist is very techniqual but is it really necessary for any one who does something a little different to make a full new sub-genre eg Tech-Death. Why not just call it Death Metal and if you discussing with somebody in depth you could say they techniqual Death Metal.

Unrealated question as I have no idea what Avent Garde is I will ask is Primus it. If not what is Primus.

[LegionsofMarduk]

Unrealated question as I have no idea what Avent Garde is I will ask is Primus it. If not what is Primus.

Primus is um...they're...uh...I think they're kind of one of those bands that really defy classification. I'm sure someone will come up with a genre to put them in. If you want Avant Garde get some Arcturus. Really good stuff.

I don't like the new Arcturus song. Maybe because it's live. Hopefully it's better in the studio. when's the new album coming out?

[Bartender]

Well avant garde indicates something that's ahead of it's time, so it's defining feature comes out as being that it has no defining features. Technically, anyway. Music that gets called avant garde can range through all genres, but it generally denotes music that sees itself as intelligent or complicated, as well. It's hard to describe the difference between avant garde and experimental/unclassifiable (if there even is a difference), and yet there are bands I feel safe calling experimental as opposed to avant garde, and vice versa.

Primus (though I don't like them much) are generally agreed to be very hard to classify, but I'd hesitate to call them avant garde. I don't know why, though.

[Slapping Penguin]

Could I though. I just want my Itunes organized hahaha.

[manuscriptreplica]

funk-metal, maybe?

funk metal would be another good one.

You could just put "Primus" as the genre, which a couple of media players have resorted to. I'm not sure why they have, personally, but then as I say I've never found Primus very interesting.

"Funk metal" should do.

yes they are bands
the 3th and the mortal one, too

Listening to diverse music I think makes you able to appreciate it better.

Styles of music I've gotten into:

Metal (Oldschool black, LLN black, oldschool death, brutal death, thrash, nu, NWOBHM, etc)

Electronica (Hardcore, ambiental, jungle, darkwave)

Reggae (Dancehall!!!, roots, dub... I also currently play in a reggae band)

Indie/Alternative/Goth/whatever (The Pixies, Melvins, Nirvana, Meat Puppets, a ton of spanish rock bands)

Country and folk music, mostly local or from south america (Bachata, my mother used to listen to artists like Selena in the car constantly so cumbia, and I forgot the name of that colombian style of folk)

[LegionsofMarduk]

Listening to diverse music I think makes you able to appreciate it better.

I always think it's funny when someone browses me on Soulseek and sees all the different stuff other than metal.

If Satan wanted to make grind crust punk with a bit of alternative Mudhoney and Iron Monkey, then throw in some Cryptopsy and Aborted, smash it in the face with just the tiniest little bit of [oldskool thrash band only he's ever heard of, probably made it up] and then you put it in a blender and play it rewind, then this would have been it!...

Avant garde, basically. Rooted in metal, but strange in all kinds of ways. What (very little) I've heard by them has been excellent, though.

Completely false.

Metal archives is great, because its just metal, but the logic by which they exclude Tool and System of A Down (and most Nu Metal) is just retarded.

[a8o]

I should probably introduce myself to this thread. I posted once or twice in it a while back, but that hasn't been for a while. I've been posting in the Titans of Thrash for almost since it started.

There are only categorically a couple of death metal bands I like enough to own albums by:

Death
Atheist
Sodom
At the Gates
Autopsy
Napalm Death
Destroyer 666
Possessed

Hopefully no genre nazis to jump on me here calling Sodom death or whatever...I probably don't know enough to really make a meaningful arguement here, but what I can say is that I would certainly like to expand this list, because in those bands there is so much I like.

The Atheist records are amazing and out of left field they got re-released, and I'm waiting for them in the mail. Any other bands like them? I've heard Cynic, Watchtower and nothing really has the impact of Unquestionable Presence or Piece of Time.

The genre has so much to offer, as you all know, but from what I've heard venturing outside these few bands, it all seems stale. I like the drumming on Cryptopsy for instance (the song Loathe owns - it's enough on its own) but an entire record...I don't know.

I'm about to upload a song of my band. I would LOVE some feedback on this. I know the singing is kinda bad, but we're finding another one.

So please, let me know what you think. :D :D :D

Metal archives is great, because its just metal, but the logic by which they exclude Tool and System of A Down (and most Nu Metal) is just retarded.

I was speaking more of the forums. The actualy site itself is like a bible.

[Mekkalayakay]

Completely false.

Stick around here, you'll find that everyone listens to everything here. Metal-arhives is mainly full of elitists.

Meh, we've got a large share here too. :-/ Like Lord Dargon. prick :o

And yes, I hope he sees this, even though he's "gone".

thank you :D

[Jondur]

That maybe true, but I think most of us that are in that rut grow out of it with time.

The ones that do not grow out of are just douche bags trying to act cool.

Well without trying to act cool - I listen to metal 99.99% of the time. I have some jazz and a few classical CDs but I listen to them very rarely.

Maybe I will grow out of it with time but it's been 17 years so far and it's still Metal I love, no other style does it for me (not - I'm not really counting the fact that I love The Exploited and Discharge as evidence of a diverse musical taste!).

So does the fact that I make very little effort to hear music from other styles mean that I'm close-minded? Well, probably yes, but I don't care because there's hundreds of metal bands that I haven't heard and thousands of tracks that I want to get. Now and again I hear non-metal tracks that I like but when it comes to the crunch (ie in the record shop) I'm going to ignore it in favour of the new Reverend Bizarre. So, unless something comes along that I like better than metal - I'm just going to keep buying metal.

Yeah, I didn't mind it too much. I'll give it a proper listen once the sun rises and my sister won't mind me blasting music.

So, did they ever find the guitarist that Morbid Angel misplaced?!?

And Jon, I don't think Bobo was having a go at you. I doubt I'll ever stop loving Metal as my favourite genre either, but I think other types of music appeal to different people, you know.

It really frustrates me that I don't have enough time to hear all the music, or even the great bands, that all the genres are producing. And without the people like Jondur who breathe metal, those of us who try to be ecumenial wouldn't be able to have such a great specific knowledge to draw on.

I hope that didn't come off as condescending, and I also hope you can understand it, since I certainly can't. :p

I agree with you here. I often say that I have no more time and money for other genres. Why bother checking something I'm completely unfamiliar with and wont be able to judge in an objective way when there's so much unheard metal out there?

[br3ad_man]

If anyone DOES get bored of metal, you should all check out The Jolly Rogers (www.thejollyrogers.com) as a break.

[the2stranger]

I'm not all that narrow-minded.
metal is my homebase
but others things I like are:

prog rock, classic rock, jazz, blues, fusion, classical, techno, gregorian (sp?)

I like alot :)

np: blackfiled - glow :)

[Stoic]

what's gregorian? And what does sp stand for?

[Bartender]

By (sp?) he means he's not sure how it should be spelt, but gregorian is right. And I assume by gregorian he means gregorian chanting, as in Gregorian monks. The father of one of my best friends is a vicar, and I've spent a fair amount of time travelling to and from his house (60 miles from mine) in their van, listening to his Gregorian cassettes.

EDIT: And there's a great difference between Jondur/MetalFan's attitude and the attitude of an idiot who doesn't know anything, and yet insists he knows everything.

[One of a Kind]

I don't listen to metal ALL the time...but 95% of the time. Check out some Immortal Technique or Sweatshop Union. Yeah...that there is some good rap to listen to. They don't rap about bitches and ho's...they actually have some talent.

The elitists are actually pretty funny. Especially some of the people on Soulseek. I got banned from a couple people because I had "**** music" shared. But then I saw that same person downloading some metal from me. So I banned them, and updated my profile to read something like...

"Yes I listen to more than one type of music. I also download for my wife and people I work with. You don't like it? I don't care. Don't ****ing download from me if it's that big of a deal to you that I'm not a close minded **** like you."

[One of a Kind]

Yeah. People like that piss me off.

NP: Death - Symbolic

Yeah, you get all sorts of Elitists on Soulseek, Download speeds, amount of file, music quality etc.

:rolleyes:

[RCA]

Meh, we've got a large share here too. :-/ Like Lord Dargon. prick :o

And yes, I hope he sees this, even though he's "gone".

Dargon was hardly an elitist, he just frowned upon false knowledge. I know for a fact he at least listened to the bands he calls "teh suck" too, so don't pull that bullshit on me. He's a generally nice guy.

Plus, M-A frowns upon elitism. People there just know their stuff and are aware of the better stuff out there. It's just the stupid n00bs on that site that think they are cool because they trash CoF and *insert your average mainstream metal band here*.

/rant

I can't wait for Wacken. :D

[superpeer]

I'm like a lot of you guys here, my main genre is metal, but I like pretty much every genre. :)

[HappyMarshmellow]

I hate people that come in your car with 5 cd's and are all like "Ooh, look, I've got this, this, this, this, and this! Which one shall we listen to?"

Me: "None of them, you asshole, we shall blasteth mine unholy Decapitated from mine speakers and wrecketh havocketh upon thine ears"

Them: "These songs all sound the same"

Me: "Get the **** out of my car"

[Mekkalayakay]

I disagree in so many ways it's not even funny. <3

But thanks for the "teh suck" band knowledge. That's interesting. Because he sure wanted to look all tr00, even if he wasn't.

And sorry, I don't know Dargon off of mx or in any other program, but from what I know and remember, he was not a generally nice guy. Sorry.


But I'm not here to talk about this, I'm here to talk about metal.



So........ I've got Mithras, Ephel Duath, Sodom, Porcupine Tree, Death Machine, Bal Sagoth, Death, Rhapsody, and Nevermore cd's coming in hopefully 2-3 days. :)

This kid I know named Tyler is like that. I remember a time where I had to give him a ride home from school one day:

Tyler: Let's pop in my Soulfly CD!

Me: We're not listening to them, I can't bare to hear them.

Tyler: What? You don't like them? What the hell do you listen to? (add a hint of whining on the last question)

Me: Oh, you know. Not crap.

Sort of similar with me only it's with my house ( I can't drive :upset: ). People come over and want to play 50 Cent, Linkin Park and Eminem in my stereo. That's a big no way in my house seeing as they don't play the music I like at theirs.

I'm curious as to which Sodom album you ordered.

Tapping the Vein

That one's enjoyable. The production is sub-par compared to other Sodom albums, but it's one of their fastest/most brutal albums to date.
