 | combustion07 Miss ya Zoo! Hope you're doing good! I miss your recs and still jam a good handful of things I remember you specifically turning me onto
|
 | Pebster49 You need to come back, I need good recommendations for some metal
|
 | TheSpirit I miss the hell out of you man. Thinking back to the days when you still came around, it was always a good time to have a convo with you. I truly hope all is well dude and if you ever log on, give me a shoutback back.
|
 | Relinquished Zoo if you read this, I need your help with my blog, your layout in tdmv is so cool.
|
 | Hawks Zoo where in the hell have you been? Anyways, if you see this, check out my review for Der Weg Einer Freiheit's self-titled album. I know you would like it.
|
 | Xenophanes So did YouAreMySilence actually pass away?
|
 | Athom i lost the info for fantasy football. still any open spots? also, best of luck in the army, bro.
|
 | Zion You're higher ranked as a musical neighbor to me than one of my own alt accounts. Creepy!
|
 | Zip Whoa someone on this site actually died... that's pretty crazy, well RIP
|
 | BallsToTheWall im just curious to as how I can get the genres to show along with a shoutbox.
|
 | Metalstyles damn man, that really sucks. He was so young too, so it's weird he died of such causes. RIP
|
| Metalstyles hey zoo, I'm sure I'm coming at a very bad time and all, but do you know what happened/has happened to YouAreMySilence? Is he like, dead or something or...?
|
| TheSpirit Have you heard the new Airs EP, Joyless? It's very interesting.
|
 | Banion Hey, im actually the one saying/writing his eulogy, so if you have anything to contribute, write it up here or facebook me (Marina Mooney). I could certainly use the input and the people on here are the most amazing writers i know. The funeral is wednesday and i am working on it tomorrow, so if you would like for me to put anything in then contact me by tomorrow morning because i will most likely not be checking this after then.
|
 | Wizard Sorry to hear about YouAreMySilence, my condolences if you were close dude!
|
 | StreetlightRock Hey, man, we're just putting some feelers out, would you be comfortable writing something about Youaremysilence for a staff blog post? Your comments were really sincere in that list, and none of the staff I think knew him well enough to warrant writing an small thing about him.
|
| BallsToTheWall could i BE ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT WITH mIAMI'S STATUS?
|
 | qwe3 nice, looks good man
|
| qwe3 cheers man, is that a new blog of yours?
|
| qwe3 lost interest in that one. check out my new one www.looserthanloose.blogspot.com
|
| Hawks Make sure you check out my review for The Disease by Malsain. I know it's something that you would really dig.
|
 | fromtheinside didn't know you had a blog, will add that to my ions. and thanks will be checkin them out for sure this weekend.
|
| Wizard I had it and I never really cared for it. Sure, it's great for discovering everything and anything but I don't exactly have the time to sift through millions of bands.
|
 | Yordy I just got it. Haven't listened yet, but it sounds like something I would like.
|
| BallsToTheWall http://www.myspace.com/arkhethone of my new favorite records of 10.
|
 | NeutralThunder12 thanks a lot,i wont hesitate to come to you in the future with questions, you know your stuff.
|
| NeutralThunder12 thanks so much, I appreciate it. Are there any aspects of simply creating the blog that would cost any money at all?
|
| NeutralThunder12 your blog is excellent, but I have a question for you, since I'm going to be making my own blog soon with a few friends. Regarding the legal issues, could you get closed down or fined in any way for posting download links to albums, things of that nature? Thank you.
|
 | Dethtrasher Hey Zoo. Yea I checked the blog. Awesome stuff.
|
 | Crysis Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it.
|
 | HSThomas Hey Zoo have you listened to Hypno5e;s Des Deux l'une Est l'autre? If you haven't it's tech death metal with the use of ambience. It's far from boring, in fact I'd say it's beautiful and mesmerising.
|
| BallsToTheWall Dont know if your into straight up shoegaze but get that Whirl son. Also, since your blog is all electronica and s***, listen to the new Hybrid.
|
| Hawks Thanks a lot for the Hymir link Zoo. Definitely some really good stuff.
|
 | TBliss wow, cheers man. this will keep me busy!
|
| Hawks Thanks man. I'll look into that tomorrow.
|
 | DeafMetal Thanks man, will let you know what I think.
|
| DeafMetal Spit some folk/black at me man. October Falls is blowing my mind in that category right now.
|
 | PayneTiger777 I'm in for fantasy football this year. Email me at sevendustbobby06@yahoo.com
|
 | jingledeath i've thought about it but i'm just too damn lazy to make one
|
| jingledeath it's the most beautiful blog i have ever seen, good job man
|
| jingledeath how come you didn't tell me that you have another blog entirely devoted to death metal ? =[
|
| BallsToTheWall Most of the songs have grown off of me. I'll try to MOTIVATE and do it,
|
| qwe3 would destroy her so hard
|
| BallsToTheWall Demians leaked? Also check this.http://www.myspace.com/myhybris
|
 | maidenpmcc Thnaks man, never heard of them before. They sound pretty decent, like Dark Tranquillity etc.
|
 | ShadowRemains now that you've recommended me all that stuff, I will rec you one: Escutcheon - Battle Order
|
| TheSpirit http://hammersmashedsound.blogspot.com/look towards the middle of the page and you should see it
|
 | theacademy sorry i forgot to respond with all the emails and stuff... i think i'm going to just stick with the yahoo leagues... i don't know that i'd check nfl.com all that often and i don't want to be a deadweight manager when someone else would be better... thanks for the invite tho
|
| HSThomas Zoo, thank you. That list of of the unknown albums in 2008 was incredibly helpful, especially in regards to Hieronymus Bosch and Nightly Gale. If there's only one band I can recommend to you it is Starkweather, specifically Croatoan. They are one of the most underatted bands in the genre but they have had such a lasting impact upon the mathcore world. They are seriously good.
|
| ShadowRemains cool, these will keep me busy for awhile (and hopefully give me more reviewing material)
|
| ShadowRemains hi man, you seem to be really well rehearsed in melodic death metal. Do you have any recs for me? (preferably stuff with growled vocals)
|
| BallsToTheWall Get that Sleeping Peonies dude and im sure it'll creep up on your l;ist.
|
| jingledeath i know i know, i'll make one soon which'll take like 10-20 mins to make and then it'll be bumped off the front page in 2 minutes. I miss those days when this site wasn't so full of s*** lists.
|
| Relinquished Thanks bro appreciate it :). I thought you were one of the few users that are knowledgeable with this stuff (I also asked Balls, jrowa, and Prophet).
|
| BallsToTheWall Shadowscast Sun is insturmental ambient post-rock meets doom meets post metal.Young Peosies is depressive black-gaze
|
| Relinquished I was planning of putting up a list of post-metal albums and I wanted to see if I'm wasn't missing anything good, so if you know anything besides the obvious s*** hit me back with some albums bro. they don't have to be strictly post-metal.
|
| BallsToTheWall I didnt think it was bad. At least a 3, however Shadowcast Sun and Young Peosies is raping and pillaging my ears.
|
| BallsToTheWall Did you hear Nechochwen's Azimuths? Super ****ing cool. Love the half neo-folk half black metal atmosphere.
|
 | Infernis Sure thing. Being spread pretty much by word of mouth, but the person I was talking to in it was really nice and told him I'd try to show people I figured might be interested. Was oddly surprised how good it was since it came across me at random and they're newly established.
|
| Infernis http://soundcloud.com/deafheaven Been listening to them a lot lately. Figured I'd show you them since I know you and I share a lot of similar interests as far as music goes. I really enjoyed this EP.
|
| TheSpirit I still use hotmail so it's just theindomitablespirit@hotmail.com
|
| TheSpirit Verdunkeln CD was great! Thanks again and expect a review for it coming soon. Also I also kinda wanted to talk to you about a possibility of me maybe joining The Celestial Manifest. I would still do PtC, but would obviously post different items between the sites. So yeah just get back to me via shoutbox, or email me at nurickbrandon@yahoo.com
|
 | Willie Go ahead. You can contact me through here or last.fm or my e-mail (Williefisterbut at gmail dot com).
|
| TheSpirit Hey, i haven't seen you on in a while, whats going on, how are you?
|
| Crysis If you find a link for the new October Falls album let me know because I don't really feel like shelling out $25 for it.
|
 | Observer Awesome, I'll take a look at that. Yeah, I was just going by Trey's list and what I think that I could cover. Thanks.
|
| BallsToTheWall Do you have anything incredibly dark apocalyptic and depressive like Abestoscape who I absolutely adore? Dark metal, ambient, post-rock, whatever.
|
| BallsToTheWall Dude. Young Heretics. What a ****ing welcome back to the fold, easily one of my favs of the year.
|
 | bigguy69 thanks man i may or may not check it out im not one for funeral doom
|
 | BigTuna Liquorworks is great, nice add to celestial. I might review it.
|
 | Edwin wow, checked out your blog man. It's pretty nuts. Keep it up.
|
 | coneren That Remembrance, was the BEST fluke I have ever had......I've listened t it like 4 times this week, and I never listen to an album that much, unless it is ****ing Alice in chains, or edge of Sanity
|
 | Crimson Death Will definitely look into it when I'm searching for more music, thanks.
|
| Crimson Death I'm a huge fan of The Absence, so I decided to read your other reviews. Listening to Le Grand Guignol now, absolutely fantastic thus far!
|
| coneren I got it by a total fluke, to, I picked something off the list and got it....I'm glad I did it, my AOTY right now
|
| coneren Holy s*** man, I got that new Remembrance album because of your 2010 list, and i ****ing love it so far
|
| BallsToTheWall so ****ing stoked for the new Belenos like OMG. They cant possibly fail us.
|
| BallsToTheWall dark and atmospheric moody with instrumental based passages
|
| Metalstyles ok cool, thanks for the info man. I think i'll get the album then. I just can't forget the main riff of that song haha. Has been haunting me for the last 2 days.
|
| Metalstyles Would you count "Frozen" as one of the better or weaker tracks from Black Sun Aeon's newest? The song wasn't anything special, but I still kind of liked it, and so if it falls into the middle for you, quality-wise, then I still might get the album.
|
| BallsToTheWall Mir got put down like a bitch. But yeah, GSP dominated on the floor. 7 takedowns. You need to youtube because both of those attempts were sickening to watch. I thought Hardy's arm was going to pop out.
|
| BallsToTheWall How bout that fight? GSP mirked that guy with his jiujitsu. 1.Armbar.2kimura. I have respect for Hardy though, I surely would have tapped.
|
| BallsToTheWall You ever check out Dragged Into Sunlight? ****ing killer s*** man.
|
| BallsToTheWall Song was just terrible. The same ****y DSBM howl magnified by glossy production, over and over ****ing again. Just as gay as anything Penseeve Nocturnes has put out.
|
| BallsToTheWall I had most of their new album but it was rotten. I hate the ep because it's just one ****ing montone scream after the next.
|
| BallsToTheWall Yeah I need one stat. Also listen to Hinsidig- Bak og Forbi....sounds like early Ulver and the first Wolves album. Very, very epic yet raw.
|
| jingledeath yeah dude you should def do the review and holy s***, that documentary is going to take ages for me to download but I guess it'll be worth it. have you seen the whole thing?
|
| BallsToTheWall Dude massive props on the Zelda OST'S amazing. Majora's Mask is the only one I beat but that game/soundtrack put me into a permance glass case of EMOtion.
|
 | Grimlin Ehem, thegodparticle... I'm never consistent with screen names for whatever reason. Also, Raisingkane on rym. I believe we've spoke... As for last.fm, lately I've been listening to a lot of vinyl so my scrobbles are a little sparse. They where very inaccurate anyway. I still browse though.
|
| Grimlin haha, yeah man. Call me whatever you want. I'm in. I'll throw something up tomorrow night after work. I already have a few ideas. Thanks for the invite.
|
| Grimlin Yeah man, that'd be cool. I'm on at least a little bit every night. I could post something every now and again. I'm assuming I'll need a blogger account, correct? I haven't set one up yet.
|
| Metalstyles too bad. I'll be reviewing it shortly, but I'm definitely looking at a 3.5 at the moment, maybe even a 4 if I stretch it
|
| Metalstyles aww man, you didn't like the new Metsatoll? Why?
|
| BallsToTheWall Yeah, i'm just going to wait for Dillards to carry the size S or M. They have the Testament one but it doesn't interest me like the megadeth/Behemoh.
|
| BallsToTheWall ****ing Krieg. All this time I was wondering why it wasn't in the mall.
|
| BallsToTheWall I hate to give in to the Afflicton sterotype, metalhead/gym rat/jijitsu tool but **** it. The shirts are ridicuously cool and I was always looking for shirts with incredibly dark art. Pretty cool that Behemoth, Megadeth, Pantera and Testament are sponsored by them though. They should latch onto Slayer, Destroyer 666, Dismember, Absu or some other cool bands next.
|
| BallsToTheWall Yeah. It happened a few months ago. I saw a grey and black sky designed Afflcition T with The Grim Reaper holding up a severed head in such amazing detail. There was no ****ing way i was going to pass on that. But yeah, ever since.............
|
| Crysis Word, I'll look into them, thanks bro
|
| TheSpirit Oh sweet. I've heard of them before but i never knew if they were worth checking out, but i guess i do now :D
|
| Hawks Yeah thank god I've been having a lot of luck finding the stuff I wanna listen to. I didn't think that Myrkgrav album would be on there, but then I found it and figured that if you and Spirit liked it so much then I might as well give it a listen. Really glad that I did too.
|
| Hawks No it's not fixed lol. I've been listening to all this stuff on youtube mostly or wherever else I can find it on the internet. Been having some luck finding all this stuff so far.
|
| Hawks I've actually been meaning to look into Manegarm for a while and I was actually planning on checking out Helrunar tomorrow too. I have that Otyg album and it's pretty awesome.
|
| Hawks Haha I really can't remember at all who gave me that rec, but it was a great one because that album is great. You should really check that out. But if there's any bands that are similar to Myrkgrav that you know of then let me know because they're pretty great.
|
| Hawks I listened to a song from that album the other day and loved it. I'll definitely check out that whole album tomorrow. Also listened to Dark Metal by Bethlehem today and I think it might have been you that rec'd that to me before, but I can't remember. That album was really great too. Mixing black and doom metal usually turns out really good.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah man. Can't wait to read that. Listened to the album earlier and it really slayed. Kind of reminded me of earlier Borknagar, which is a really good thing.
|
| Hawks Dude Spirit said he was writing a review of that Myrkgrav album for you so I decided to listen to it and I thought I would share with you that the album ****ing rules so far. I'm glad you told him to write a review for that because that's how I found out about it haha.
|
| Crysis sorry about the butthurt because I didn't tell you about my blog broski
|
| BallsToTheWall Who's in your crew? Im brainstorming for my upcoming blog wars list.
|
 | TRMshadow Well, every time I've seen him on a review discussion for an album I love he is standing there with a 2.5 rating saying it sucked. Maybe it's different for you, but that's what's happened to me.
|
| TheSpirit Haha sweet : ) it's good to see someone else on the site that bleeds green
|
| TheSpirit Yeah, i went on your Cure For A Musical Famine list and from there i picked up Pantheon I, Panzerballett, Profanum and a Echnida(sp?) All really good stuff.
|
| TheSpirit Haha. I'll definitely write a review for it when i'm done my Shining/Sigh stint. Maybe even before then. I like it better than the Mistur album, which is huge considering i was in love with that album for like 3 months
|
| jingledeath well it's refreshing to finally hear some good melodic bm after so long, first half of the album is excellent and better than anything they've done before probably. second half gets a bit boring but it's still alright.
|
 | Phantom I've got a few crust bands, old and new, in my library but i havent heard either of the ones you just recc'd so i'll check em oot. Thanks man.
|
| Phantom Yes I did indeed, they rule hard.
|
| TheSpirit I gave you an honorable mention on the list. Sorry i forgot in the first place but I'm pretty sure I forgot a few people haha
|
| BallsToTheWall Also Forteresse is a ****ing incredible band. Suprised they're not bigger here but suprised they're already on here with a few ratings.
|
| BallsToTheWall No not at all. Just suprised. i didnt even know SCREAM listened to that kind of music.
|
| BallsToTheWall Na, I just put them on our blog the other day. And then I saw you put them on your blog a few days later. And yes, new album. Celph Titled is the ****ing man.
|
| BallsToTheWall Now you're doing the AOTP. MWHUAHHHHHH competition. They have anew album coming out soon, so stoked.
|
 | ameypv Carach's 2010 is out!?!
|
| BallsToTheWall Yrg Alms from Njiqahdda fin rules. Why did you not recc them? Or did i miss the memo?
|
| BallsToTheWall She is....ridicuously ridicuously hot...... hottest hybrid alive.
|
| TheSpirit I was really happy to see the Taake discography posted because they are definitely an underrated band IMO. You guys should really really look into Spite Extreme Wing its like a more dynamic Taake.
|
| TheSpirit Thanks! I'm checking out the blog now, and i'm finding a lot of stuff that sounds really good
|
 | jrowa001 dont forget to check out my list dude. and sorry for never adding to your blog. i dont think i will have time to add anything
|
| BallsToTheWall **** this gay posting limit. But yeah, i'd also like to train with the basics of boxing, judo, aikido a personal trainer but excell at some of the other martial arts as well. Who knows though, I might be inspired enough to get lasic surgery and go full out. only time will tell. Im 20 so i got time.
|
| BallsToTheWall Completely agree with the big guy anaylsis. In my jiujitsu class, I grapple with a cop and ex military guy who are bigger than me, not to mention a blue belt 19 year old who kicks in at 190. It's definitely helped, especially since the class is small, about 6 people including my teacher, who's a Brazillian dude who knows his stuff.
Realistically, Id like to be a personal trainer but excell at some of the other martial arts as well. As I am blind as a bat, I can get away with it in jiujitsu.
|
| BallsToTheWall Yeah I say kickboxing because I saw how many chicks take that class in my gym. I surely need to work on my kicks and sparring which will be improved on in time, maybe taekwondo.
|
| BallsToTheWall Nice. I missed it a few months back but will go this time in February. No gi of course, well, I prefer it that way. Should be epic. Also will be heading to this place called The Forge pretty soon to brush up on some judo and wrestling. Might do muay thai and kickboxing first, not sure yet.
|
| Observer Hey Zoo, I found something you might be interested in that wasn't in your collection. Try out Hidden in the Fog -Damokles. Not meaning to advertise my review that I recently posted, but I really think you would enjoy this album.
|
| Observer Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I'm already a big fan of the Septic Flesh album and am currently looking into the Hollenthon album. The others sound great.
|
| Observer You seem to have an impressive metal collection - do you know of any symphonic death bands that might be good for me to check out?
|
| BallsToTheWall Skogen = melodic, mainstream Drudkh but awesome nonetheless. Could you hook a link? For christmas sake dire sir?
|
| BallsToTheWall WTF bro you never added Neun Walten to celestialblogspot
|
| BallsToTheWall Dude, do you happen to have a link to the new Neun Welten album destrunken? I heard one song on myspace and it drove me bonkers.
|
| Crysis So I got that Vali album off of your blog today.... god damn that thing is good. Any other neofolk you'd rec?
|
| Zip When is ur new list coming out?
|
| qwe3 qwe4 got banned like a month ago bro
|
| Zip Check out my new death metal list, it's gotta a bunch of stuff you put up on that blog and a ton of other albums
|
| Grimlin Ysengrin's full length isn't terrible, but I prefer their material on the split. Though I've honestly only listened to the full length once. Borgira's side made me order the full length right away since I couldn't find a dl at the time. It's worth buying, the artwork is great. Still waiting for the split to come.
|
| Grimlin Dude, have you heard the Borgia / Ysengrin split? Ysengrin aren't quite as good as Borgia, but they hold their own on their side. All in all a really good split.
|
| Infernis Definitely. Anything atmospheric or old school really. I do enjoy the bit of raw stuff as well. I'll check it out though! And yeah, I can totally see where you're coming from. It's far more minimalist...I guess even extreme repetition never bothered me (perfect example being Austere's Coma II.) But yeah man, I'll check out that blog tonight!
|
| Infernis New fragments? I'm curious to hear how that turns out. Realized you are my neighbor and wanted to ask why you felt the new Krallice was a 2.5? Honestly, just trying to hear another opinion...always refreshing.
|
 | OceanOfWisdom Whats up man? Been doing ratings all night on various artists, and added around 10-15 new bands and albums within the past 2 days....check them out, you may like most of it, based on our similar tastes in music.
-Will continue adding Bands and Albums as I see needed.; I expect to have around 30-40 new Bands or Albums added by Monday.
Also, tell me what you think about my Review for Dark Funeral's new cd. I'd like to hear your opinion.
|
| Relinquished Did you hear Secrets of the Moon's Antithesis? Pretty good stuff.
|
| Zip Thanks for the tip-off on the new Kata, it's pretty good
|
| Zip waiting for that list
|
| BallsToTheWall My main league which my main team thoroughly rapes. Peyton Manning, Cedric Benson, Willis McGAhee, Michael Turner, Roddy White, Steve Smith Car, Santana Moss, greg Jennings, Tony Gonzalez,and a whol bunch of awesome D-players. if II only didnt miss the sputnik draft.
|
| BallsToTheWall Harrison's only real slow game was thie first, otherwise he's been piling up tackles, sacks, and fumbles at an alarming rate. That not even Willis can catch up. And lol yesterday for the 49'rs, I scored 300 points yesterday thanks to peyton Manning, Michael Turner, Peppers, Harrison, Roddy White, and Cedric Benson.
|
| BallsToTheWall James Harrison not a beast this year? He added three more sacks and a forced fumble to his total.
|
| BallsToTheWall Great trend bro. Everybodys shortening their names now. I refuse to budge. 1st krieg till I die.
|
 | Ulsufyring SUP DAWG I HRD U LIKE MEGAN FOX SO I PUT SOME BILE IN YOUR MOUTH SO YOU CAN BE NORMAL WHILE LIKEING MEGAN FOX
