...thought these were really neat:thumb:

Cool :thumb:

Anyone else love that awesome "No longer struggling to declare your stand..." on The Baying of the Hounds? It's f[I]u[/I]ckin entrancing.

[QUOTE==-fukifiknow-=]MAH LIST
[B]Orchid- Forest of October[/B]
Morningrise- to bid you farewell/blackrose immortal
MAYH- April Ethereal
Still Life- The moor (the ultimate metal song)
Blackwater Park- Blackwater Park
Damnation- Hope leaves
Deliverance- A fair judgement
Ghost Reveries- Ghost of Perdition.

keep in mind, i listen to all the albums as a whole and love them all so picking a song is just falacious because tommorow i could replace any with another.[/QUOTE]
Forest of October is such a awesome song.

Sure is

Those vids are great.

So i just listened to The Night And The Silent Water for the first time in a couple weeks and man, what an amazing song. I especially like the acoustic parts in that song. The buildup towards the end is really great too.

Definitely. Morningrise in general is great.

I'm wondering if Martin Mendez wore that stuff all over his face. :amaze:

I was told that the dude on the far right was Martin Mendez.

I love the outro.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]I love the outro.[/QUOTE]


Likewise.

False.

Research isn't a forte with you guys, is it? :lol:
[quote=from the band's biography, one click away from the link...]
Requiem Aeternam began its activities in September of 1995 in Montevideo (Uruguay) featuring their first demo in a local compilation. At that time the line-up consisted of [u]Martín López (Amon Amarth; Opeth)[/u] on drums, [u]Martín Méndez (Opeth)[/u] on bass, Pablo Magallanes on guitar and José Romero (Inner Sanctum) handling guitar and vocal duties.
[/quote] Both Martins left the band (presumably to go join Opeth...it said lineup change was around 1997), but that picture is presumably an early photo while they were still in the group.

:lol:, that dude has black hair, Mendez has brown.

Orchid - The Twilight is My Robe, probably
Morningrise - Black Rose Immortal
My Arms, Your Hearse - April Ethereal
Still Life - Face of Melinda or The Moor, it's a tossup
Blackwater Park - The Leper Affinity
Deliverance - Deliverance or BTPISIO, another tossup
Damnation - Closure
Ghost Reveries - Ghost of Perdition

Black metal is a great way to start your carreer.

If you don't think so, Ask Kiss.

Huh? :confused: Other than the facepaint, Kiss are as far from black metal as they come...

Yeah they started the aesthetics for Black Metal.

>_>
<_<

Anyway and in a completely unrelated note, I'm asking a friend to bring me either Still Life or My arms, Your hearse. Or Porcupine Tree's Deadwing. Man I'm really digging "Blackfield" and "Lazarus" at the moment...

I don't even really like My Arms, Your Hearse. I don't even know why, but the albums itself doesn't really stand out to me.

Oh, speaking of PT...my private lesson with Gavin Harrison is next week! *gloats*

How did you get that? I've only heard of Cain meeting with famous people... John Petrucci that was. Seemed like and interesting meet-up. But have fun nonetheless. :)

Forgot to ask, did you get all the files of Morningrise? I left the computer alone and when I returned they had closed AIM, and I didn't notice if it got finished or otherwise.

And about MAYH, I wasn't really the biggest supporter of the album, but the files I have of the album are corrupted so I want to rip it correctly.

[QUOTE=SilentScream]I don't even really like My Arms, Your Hearse. I don't even know why, but the albums itself doesn't really stand out to me.[/QUOTE]

Yeh only liked a few songs off that CD

MAYH is terrific imo. The album builds such an amosphere and then builds up the emotion and tension as the album progresses to eventually come to a halt with the beauty that is Epilogue. When is also one of my favourite Opeth songs ever.

And I noticed no one was speaking of it:p

He's coming to the area for a drum clinic (his first one in the US). In addition, he'll also stick around for a few days afterwords in order to give private lessons. I signed up as soon as I found out about it. :)

Havn't you asked that already in here ? :p
