09.22.10 | Really this list would change by tomorrow, with the exception of 1, 2, and 3 who I don't see going anywhere. Korpiklaani could easily be here some days, Moonsorrow other days, etc. |
Crysis
09.22.10 | 1, 3, and 4 are three of my all-time favorite bands. 6 is amazing as well. |
ShadowRemains
09.22.10 | this sounds like a playlist on Crysis' iPod |
coneren
09.22.10 | List fucking rocks FUCK YEAH FUFUFKCUFKCUFKCUFKC |
AngelofDeath
09.22.10 | Kalmah - picking up where Children of Bodom left off when they decided to turn to shit. Great band. Doesn't get enough love.
And Agalloch, c'mon. Amazing. |
Crysis
09.22.10 | close Shadow haha, but I hate Orphaned Land and Sabaton, Martriden is decent at best, never heard anything by Mar De Grises, and I think everyone here knows how I feel about Enslaved. |
Zion
09.22.10 | I always forget you like Insomnium Crysis. I feel less alone in that now.. ha. And I live under a
rock, what's your opinion of Enslaved? Maybe it's the same opinion that I had to beat out of myself
for months to find them enjoyable enough to put on this list... |
Crysis
09.22.10 | I am probably the biggest Insomnium fanboy on Sputnik. |
AngelofDeath
09.22.10 | Never been a big Insomnium fan. I definately agree with you on Enslaved being pretty overrated though. |
Crysis
09.22.10 | And, their new album aside, I think Enslaved sucks |
ShadowRemains
09.22.10 | only needs Emperor and Dark Tranquillity :P |
Yazz_Flute
09.22.10 | Heard and enjoy all of these sans 2 9 and 10. 1 and 7 are likely amongst my top metal bands too. |
Zion
09.22.10 | Damn I'm thinking about it now and I could easily replace Martriden with Eluveitie or Ensiferum. Totally different sounds, but Martriden was the most random last minute choice for this list. And I always forget about From Afar for some stupid reason. |
Crysis
09.22.10 | love ensiferum too |
Zion
09.22.10 | Alright... fixed the last 2. I only added Sabaton because I am beside myself with how much I like a band that asks so plainly to be hated. It's just all about the PANZER BATTALION! |
Hawks
09.22.10 | 1, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all pretty great. Agalloch is one of my favorite bands ever and Enslaved is up there too. Insomnium is decent, but nothing special IMO. |
Zion
09.22.10 | Hawks, are you as stoked about Marrow Of The Spirit as I am? As in, ridiculously stoked? I already promised myself I wouldn't download it if it leaks, and I won't read any reviews of it until after I hear it. I'm pre-ordering it and then throwing an uninterrupted headphones party when it arrives. In the end I'll live if it isn't amazing, I'll always have all of their other albums to fall back on.... |
Zion
09.22.10 | Just watched some Enslaved videos and lol'd. No one will ever top Scar Symmetry in the lolbad video
department but damn... some bands should stop making videos until they learn how to control their
bizarre facial expressions. |
Hawks
09.22.10 | Oh dude you have no fucking idea how pumped I am for Marrow of the Spirit. I'm already calling it to be album of the year haha. I'm not going to download it if it leaks either and I'll probably pre-order it too. As for the Enslaved videos, most black metal bands tend to have ridiculous videos. It's pretty common. |
climactic
09.23.10 | Oh man 10 is so awesome |
Dryden
09.23.10 | no foreskin metal Orphaned Land |
Plutonio
09.23.10 | ugh orphaned land is diarrhea |
Zion
09.23.10 | Haha Dryden, I'm willing to bet a few of these bands lack foreskin, it's a pretty commonplace thing nowadays... and Plutonio, is there anything on this list you like or are you just going to zero in on your least favorite? |
Hawks
09.23.10 | Orphaned Land grew off me quite a bit. Still pretty great though. |
Plutonio
09.23.10 | I like 1, 2, 5, and 6 |
Zion
09.23.10 | Sweet Plutonio... thou art redeemed. ... yeah Hawks in the end, I'll probably always rate Mabool very high, it was an epic album, primarily because of its concept, but one that you really just listen to a couple times and move on. Their follow-up kind of gave me the impression that they were getting big heads and that turns me off of any band pretty quick. |
Hawks
09.23.10 | I didn't even listen to their new album. Don't even wanna bother with it. |
Plutonio
09.23.10 | Both albums are like 1s or 1.5s for me because they're such dry "oh we can suck at trying to be postmodernists" albums |
Zion
09.23.10 | You're not missing out too much Hawks... and I can see your point there actually Plutonio... lol. |
