You certainly know more about death metal than I do. I thought that much was apparent. However, that doesn't mean I agree with your opinions or have the same taste. The fact that I haven't heard of the band before, I don't see how it really makes that big of a difference. I've gone through, and am still going through your list. Any band that I have not heard I have been listening to in the past 3-4 hours. So far demilich and baphomet are pretty damn good, but the production is holding it back. I've gone through some ~15 odd bands that you recommend and Bolt Thrower has been the only one so far that I like the beats, the vocals, and the overall production of. I'm not done with your list, yet. Am I a noob? yes. Even if I wasn't, that doesn't mean I agree with all your stuff, we have already disagreed about albums that I have listened to quite a bit.

the simple fact that you're complaining about the production of classic death metal records is highly questionable

Shadowgay, what is your point about the drums? As far as I can tell, a blast beat is when you double bass, hit the
snare, and the hi-hat in a machine-gun fashion. I'm not a drummer, so I can't explain exactly why Human is a faster
album than Symbolic. Is there something you are trying to prove, other than the fact you have a small dick? Maybe you
can enlighten me as to what exactly it is and explain why Human is a faster album, or you can continue to look like a total
fucking tool, kid.


Lol are you fucking serious?

Gonna do some blastbeats on my drums later, gonna go balls out so hard...

ShadowRemains is so cool, man. You guys only wish you could be like ShadowRemains. I mean look at his avatar! He's the fucking Witch-king of Angmar! And god damn look at his music pie chart! LOOK AT IT YOU NUBS! Look at how black his shit is! Tell me this isn't the coolest mother fucker you have ever laid eyes on. He even 5'd an Eminem album, thats how cool this cat is and how awesome his music taste is. 12,000 posts in a year and a half, too, guys. Can anyone else fuck with that?

I know, right.

*puts on Amon Amarth, Once Sent from the Golden Hall*

..."not hard enough"

*puts on Entombed, Left Hand Path*

..."nope"

*puts on Morbid Angel, Altars of Madness*

..."not bad"

*puts on Eminem, The Marshall Mothers LP*

"fuck yeah"

LOL.

Pose harder man. Your avatar and pie aren't dark enough, and your post count isn't high enough yet. Maybe when your balls drop, you can display your real age, and soon after you'll realize Static-X bulldog's Eminem's face to the dirt.

You can't hang with me, dude. I'm too crazy for you, and I'd go to jail for sharing a beer with you. I mean as far as I'm concerned, man, you win the fucking interweb. 12,000 posts in a year, witch-king avatar, deathly looking pie-chart, and Eminem at the top of it all like icing on the fucking cake. It's almost like Satan himself burst out of the ground and bought a PC to talk with me.

not defending shadow because i think hes a dumbass, but do you even know what a poser is? a poser metalhead wouldnt have a rap album as a 5. its a common misconception among retards that being a poser means not adhering to a stereotype. some people can jam Hate Eternal and Immolation and then throw on Neutral Milk Hotel or Brand New an hour later.

youd better have long hair, wear death metal t shirts, and wear camo pants valerius, otherwise youre a poser.

I've got a shaved head and a goatee. Blonde hair and blue eyes. I wear dickies and plain t-shirts, and doc-marten boots.

I'm not a poser, because I never claimed to be any metalhead. I thought that much was obvious, with me liking classical over your shit metal that sounds like it was recorded in a garage. I couldn't give a fuck less what anyone thinks of me that I meet IRL, much less some 2-dimensional shit-for-brains on the internet. I have nothing to prove to anyone, only myself.

You are a human being when you are in my phonebook, or I drink a beer with you.

album rating: 5

being a metalhead doesnt mean looking like one, acting like one, and listening to only metal. i consider anyone who enjoys and mainly listens to metal the most to be a metalhead. thats it. it doesnt require any stereotypical crap. youve proved your ignorance already. go listen to some classical music though, im sure it makes you feel smart. get a little self-esteem boost, and then come back.

This album sounds twice as good than most of the shit rasputin is trying to push on me. Could this album sound better? Ofc it could. The drumming is a little off(but as another poster said, I find that kind of cool), and the production isn't the most stellar, but it's still a rock solid album. Considering it was their first, and it's faster, and has more intense vocals, and I like the guitar work in it, I find this album a classic, and a must have for any Amon Amarth fan. At first I didn't care for this album as much as their later, more polished releases, but more and more I jam this album over the others.

u think it's a privilege when someone hangs out with your "I've got a shaved head and a goatee. Blonde hair and blue eyes. I wear dickies and plain t-shirts, and doc-marten boots" sorry ass?

its an aquired taste, buddy. i figured someone who listens to classical music would understand that. once you get acquainted with metal, you realize this is far from a 5. its really fun to listen to and very accessible and an easy listen, but theres much better. this is the very tip of the iceberg.

If it's an acquired taste(as I said about this album in my first post), then why do you knock my acquired taste for this album? You need to listen to what you just said, and realize how contradictory it is. This album is an acquired taste, and I have acquired it. If you like Amon Amarth and don't dig this album, I highly recommend repeated listening of it, because I think it's a grower. If you don't like Amon Amarth, you might as well wear a dress and get the fuck out of my face. That's all I have to say about it.
