You're not serious, are you? There is no way anyone can say such a blatant lie with a straight face. ...Wait, I get it. You're stuck in a timewarp? Well, we're in 2005, not 1990. I was speaking idiomatically. |

Phlogiston reminded me of Berserker with it's heavy use of synth drums. Meh. Very...meh.

Who are these guys anyway? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Some unsigned shitty band, of which I found their whole free CD online, they suck, but were free, so I figuered I'd chuck some out there...lol...I should have apologized in advance.

Any of Behemoth's older releases worth getting? I have Zos Kia Cultus and Demigod and love them immensly. I also enjoy symphonic black metal like Emperor and Abigor. Are Behemoth's early albums like that or more raw Darkthrone black metal?
How ya doing, buddy? |
If you like the last two Behemoth, get Thelema.6. Great stuff in the same vein. And "Christian to the Lions" is a classic.
Still, the guy's far crazier than I. His comments about Slayer are seriously disturbing. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
This might sound like sacralidge(sp?) but I've never been a huge Slayer fan actually, I mean I'd listen to them if I had too, but there are many bands I'd rather listen to...
For the System of a Down fans out there: Can you believe that Lonely Day is the latest single off of Hypnotize? I would have thought it would have been something like Tentative or Stealing Society, but I never saw that one coming...Oh well, I guess they want to show their softer side to the public everyonce and a while...

Either way, I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but I bought Dream Theater- Train of Thought, and that cd amazes me. That is probably the best cd I have bought since Once by Nightwish. I was speaking idiomatically. |
The "pie" song is Vicinity of Obsenity, and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), that the "terracotta pie" is referring to a certain part of the female reproductive system. The "banana" being the male reproductive organ. How ya doing, buddy?

I dislike Lonely Day more and more over time. The solo in it is really cool, but yeah.. the lyrics suck, even by System of a Down standards.
FELIPE NO |
Hey, what's that supposed to mean, there are some very good lyrics in SOAD songs, sure there's some "bad apples", but don't write off all their stuff. Admittedly their newer stuff has been getting worse, but look at some of their older stuff off of Toxicity or Steal This Album.

Eh, I like System of a Down, but they've never had the best lyrics. I think Soldier Side has some of the best lyrics they've ever written, however.

Their first album had their strongest work, both musically and lyrically. Back when "Spiders" was as light as they got.
How ya doing, buddy? |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Yeah, I appreciate the harder stuff, though I don't know if you heard songs such as Highway Song or Roulette off of Steal This Album, those aren't as hard, but still have a distinct charm.

Acoustic guitars is what turned most of metal bands into shit.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
I disagree, I think metal bands should be able to dabble in other types of music, just like any other band of any genre, I like bands who mix it up a bit genre-wise. Like I said before, I appreciate the harder stuff from SOAD more than some of their newer, shittier soft stuff, but I can appreciate some acoustic from time to time, especially when it's done well.

metal got it's genre name for being heavy and not some pussy ass gay acoustic crap. I like acoustic work as much as anyone else, but i don't like it when acoustic guitars venture into metal songs, the two things contradict each other.
FELIPE NO |
I seriously disagree with the 'pussy ass gay acoustic crap' comment there. If anything, having acoustic guitars, when done right really bring out the extremness and heaviness of the song. Such as The Nephilim Rising by Behemoth with a brutal ass riff and some really brutal vocals, only towards the end it has a beautiful acoustic passage that really fits. Another great example is Entwined by Vengeance by Vital Remains. The chorus riff features some great Spanish style guitar that fits with the distorted guitars. Besides, having contradictions makes things interesting. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. Listen to what you like, and stop trying to protect some nonexistent boundary line. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I've always found that acoustic work in metal is like Waylon Jennings doing a black flag cover album. There's nowhere I can't reach.

Stop being an acoustic hater!

And I thought Iwata liked music for what it was, and not for what it was forcifully genred into. Disappointing really. Bands like Opeth, Green Carnation, Tenhi, Elend, Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend and many other bring the whole contradicting into the picture and make it a steady part of the bigger picture. Metal can now be completely acoustic. And that's weird enough for me to make me appreciate it. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Like everything else, it's not the actual instrument, but the use of it. Same with keyboards in metal, violins in metal, symphony in metal, orchestras in metal, female vocals in metal, etc. You can have gay-ass shit like Sonata Arctica (crap keyboards) or Opeth (crap acoustic parts) or Nightwish's Once (crap symphony, crap female vocals), but you can also have Summoning (awesome keyboards), Dark Tranquillity's first two albums (awesome acoustic parts), Therion (awesome symphony, female vocals), and so on. Double Post: Though, I must thank you for stirring the conversation in another direction than something like System of a Down. Let's keep it this way. I was speaking idiomatically.
