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?

[QUOTE=Steerpike]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]

Pirate Metal?

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]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. :) )[/QUOTE]

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.

The only ones I've heard of are ones from Japan - one from '03, and one from '04. If these be the ones you're talking about - look on ebay; there's one or two of both on there today for @£15 apiece

Yes, pirate metal. I think it's self-explanatory.

Which reminds me, I didn't learn until after the fact that last Monday was Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yes, this is real. I'll make sure not to miss it next year.

I had been anticipating it for weeks and took full advantage during the day.

Piracy prevailed! YARR!

My friend keeps telling me about all these power metal bands that I never heard of and I was wondering if you guys had:
Olympos Mons, Black Majesty, Nightmare. Anyone? Worth checking them out?

I don't think I've ever heard of these.. anyone else?

Do we have any Helloween fans in the house? My friend yesterday was telling me about how great they are but I've never heard a single song by them? What are they like?

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]Do we have any Helloween fans in the house? My friend yesterday was telling me about how great they are but I've never heard a single song by them? What are they like?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I love them, try "Halloween" for a great song...

I was just brosing In the black-metal forum and I noticed someone said:
"Power Metal is for fat people".
I was just like, what the f u c k?, that dosent even make sense.

I dont know but I love power-metal (Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Dream Evil, Balsagoth, ect). Is the new Kamelot album good?

Yeah, the new Kamelot slays. It's one of those albums that's good top to bottom, not just a coulpe songs. Lots of good riffs, very melodic, and of course Khan's singing is top notch.
