Symphony X are God...

Actually, Nightwish is god. Symphony X are Jesus though. :p

Romeo is one of the best guitarists I've ever seen/heard, specially when you're watching him from 3 feet away. :D

[QUOTE=The general opinion of The Iron Maiden thread]'arry is god. Bruce is Jesus though.[/QUOTE]


This is my version of bible events...

Much to my own surprise, I've been getting into Children Of Bodom recently (got Hatebreeder on as I type)- does anyone else think there's a similarity (in some ways) between CoB and CoF?

did anyone else get an email with dream theater doing number of the beast album (bootleg) run to the hills sounds almost like the real song its crazy.

When you say CoF, you mean Cradle of Filth?

Not really, no.

Hallowed Be Thy Name with LaBrie is SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!

He can't DO Brucie...he should get that through his head.

The music sounds quite good though...

The only similarity I can come up with between COB and COF is both use a keyboardist. :p

[QUOTE=Whale and Wasp]im listening to arcturus.....i think its pirate power metal....anyway i love it!![/QUOTE]
no its progressive but there cool listen to the hibernation sickness complete its got crazy drumming stuff.

I'll be genre whore and make the second correction, that being that Arcturus is Avant Garde metal.

Why is it "pirate" ?

[QUOTE=cjborton]I'll be genre whore and make the second correction, that being that Arcturus is Avant Garde metal.[/QUOTE]
wtf is that?

To my knowledge, Running Wild is the only pirate metal band in the world. And it better stay that way until the day Rolf retires and it comes time for another ambitious young blood to take the helm.

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]wtf is that?[/QUOTE]

Avant Garde music is basically music that challenges what is commonly known as music, or in other words, pushes the common musical boundaries. It often includes abnormal instruments, noises, and ochestrated elements. Anyone who can describe it better, feel free to add.

I honestly don't see the appeal to Cradle of Filth, but to see Cathedral live! Hot d[size=2]a[/size]mn.

yeah me too i havent heard cathedral but i really odnt see why COF is good.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]I honestly don't see the appeal to Cradle of Filth, but to see Cathedral live! Hot d[size=2]a[/size]mn.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm going :p

It's the best band I could have hoped for supporting.
It's almost as good a tour as it would be to see say, maiden supported by Dream Theater or Dragonforce, like they were this summer around (mainland :rolleyes: ) Europe.

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]yeah me too i havent heard cathedral but i really odnt see why COF is good.[/QUOTE]

Check them out. Lee Dorrian slays any attempt at vocals Dani Filth makes.

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Why is it "pirate" ?[/QUOTE]
eh i think i heard some one call it that



gosh im getting my genres mixed up today

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Check them out. Lee Dorrian slays any attempt at vocals Dani Filth makes.[/QUOTE]
**** none on rhapsody...are they death?

Doom/stoner actually.

Cathedral was one of the original doom metal bands...they helped form the genre.

anyone here like kamelot or am i alone? :p or are the prog?

Kamelot isn't prog... :confused:

They're power metal as well...

I rather like them...they have a really original sound going for them.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Cathedral was one of the original doom metal bands...they helped form the genre.[/QUOTE]

Actually, they came a little later in the game. They were mostly influenced by Candlemass, Trouble, The Melvins, and Saint Vitus.

However, they really do kick [size=2]a[/size]ss. Lee and Gaz are an awesome duo.

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]anyone here like kamelot or am i alone? :p or are the prog?[/QUOTE]

I got into them a while ago. Roy Khan really helped take the band to a new level.

Which reminds me, I still haven't gotten around to buying their new album. :upset:

there new albums pretty prog

Well, Cathedral was still a major influence in doom metal circles...

Off topic, my new Futures Of Metal is up. Go find it, and comment on it (or bump it for me if i haven't already. :) )

Who is a fan of mystic prophecy here? I bought "Never Ending", because I'm a fan of Gus G's work. I seem to like the vocalist sometimes and dislike him other times. Its weird.

Anyways, did i get one of the better Mystic Prophecy albums, or are there better ones?

Well it appears no-one else saw any parallels between CoB and CoF; I think it's just the vocalists have sort of similar voices at times. (To me, anyway)
On another note - thanks to Det sending me an After Forever sample track, I've just purchased Decipher; and they were described as "melodic death/goth" :confused:
Seems a bit odd to me, anyone care to suggest a more likely genre that AF fit into?

AF? after forever?

[QUOTE=Laihoistheman]AF? after forever?[/QUOTE]

Considering the fact he said After Forever in his post, I think he means that, yes.

I'd cosider them Gothic metal, really.

owned :upset: yeah on metalstorm they said there gothic metal.

According to the review on sputnik, Stormhammer is supposed to be pretty crappy. Who agrees with this statement and who doesn't?

[U]I[/U] AM ONE OF THE ORIGINAL DOOM BANDS!


I can't back that up with any real evidence, sorry :(

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]From Wishes To Eternity.[/QUOTE]
End of Innocence is my favourtie Nightwish dvd from the ones i have seen, god knows how those lot get any work done considering they seem to be pissed 24/7

Anyone heard anything of a supposed Sonata DVD?

Can't find it, care for a link?

It has been bumped...

If it disappears again (it most assureadly will) here's the link[URL]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=393948[/URL]

So I just picked up the newest Kamelot album, The Black Halo, and I'm really digging it. It has quite a few softer moments, but they're well placed and don't get boring. Lots of good riffs and extremely melodic. I'd recommend it to anyone in here. As someone mentioned earlier, it does have some progressive elements at times. If anyone wants to download a "testing" track try Momento Mori, a killer track indeed.
