Pretty much. Gehenna's vocals beat Bak De Syv Fjell's pretty handily, though, in my opinion. The guy in Bak De Syv Fjell just sounds bored.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

FELIPE NO

They're hitting Winnipeg, but minus Motörhead and Heaven and Hell.

Mind you, I've already seen all of those bands except Testament.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I... I really don't care for the new Opeth album whatsoever.

Maybe it will grow on me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The problem I have with bands like Dir En Grey isn't necessarily what they sound like, though I'm not crazy about that either, but that they don't understand the ideas behind metal whatsoever. They're like metal Barbie dolls. They come with all of the accessories, but there's nothing behind them except "we look so pretty whe we dress up."

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm not going to go pretending it's some lofty concept, Pang. Metal is about being angry. They're not angry enough. They like to look like they're angry, but they're not angry.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

*pokes holes with poking finger*



Also Sunn O))) & Earth. Don't get a bunch of anger from them.

Also, if anger is the only criteria we're going by here, then everything Trent Reznor touches (except for perfect drug and ghosts i-iv) is pure metal. Boy has issues.

"I am going to lie in a coffin and record myself screaming"

clearly no anger


And of course it's not the only criteria, but it's a pretty damned important one for 95% of the genre.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
