Heh, that was a cool little story, I enjoyed that very much. It reminds me of when a few of my brother's friends came over (they're 14) and one of them said he liked metal and I replied I did as well. He then asked me if I like Dimmu Borgir, to which I replied "they're alright, but Darkthrone are better" and he had never heard of them before, so I made him listen to it, but I don't think he liked it.

rofl @ Jack Daniels & Pizza. It's the first song on Retaliation and is 55 seconds of someone throwing up. Carnivore sound like an amalgam of early Type O, Misfits, and Voivod. The crossover sound is mixed with doom and NWOBHM making for an interesting listen, but the lyrics are the absolute best part.

And send your strongest effort, although lyrics don't really matter outside of prog and doom

Just to throw in my opinion, I love the 80's. It was all just the best. I like thrash to even hair metal. The whole decade was just made for guitar.

I'm not sure if they've been mentioned here before, but I just found out about a band called Anata. They're a sorta technical death metal band, and they're fucking AMAZING. I love their album 'The Conductor's Departure' SOO MUCH.

^^ OMG I love Anata. My favourite album was Under A Stone With No Inscription. Too bad their guitarist left the band, but they are recording a new album, so I assume the singer/guitarist is capable of playing as well as Andreas did.

So I just saw some of the videos for the Peace Sells album available on Rock Band 2 and felt:
1. Angry that the Rock Band series has been getting all the good songs I want to play (Clouds Over California, Painkiller, Peace Sells album.)
2. Upset that I'm limited to whatever they decide to put in these games (or so I thought.)

I have decided to pick up guitar. I was planning on playing bass but that's only because I didn't think I could play guitar. I'm currently watching a black-metallic Kramer Vanguard on ebay and I plan on buying it within 2 weeks. I looked around for other guitars before choosing the Vanguard but couldn't find any I liked as much. I checked all the BC Rich guitars everyone shits over but the radical shapes were cool for about a minute. I've never been fond of the classic styles either like the Les Paul, Strat. or Explorer.

Anyway, last night, as I was arranging my cds in chronological order (don't like it, bad idea), I checked the wikipedia article for release dates from Atheist. To my surprise I see that an untitled new album is set for a 2009 release date. So let's recap: Possessed is back, Exumer's back, and now Atheist? What's next, is Chuck Schuldiner going to rise from the dead? I think Destruction has a new album coming out soon too. It's as if all these old metal giants are being forced back into the metal scene to clean up the mess the 2000's made. My only complaint is that there will be too many cds to buy.

*Slightly off-topic* The future of my cd collection thread is looking grim. In addition to purchasing the Kramer Vanguard I have also decided to finally buy a pair of the Nike Hyperdunks with the McFly colorway. Only 350 pairs were made with that colorway, making the price ridiculous (for shoes, anyway.) I'm planning on buying a size 10 for close to $650. These are more than shoes to me. In '91 I promised myself I'd have those shoes (that was before they existed) and now they're staring me in the face, so the price is small compared to how I'll feel actually having them (they won't be for casual wear either.) After I buy the shoes and guitar I plan on strictly saving my money for a car (a Delorean you can probably tell I REALLY like Back to the Future), thus enabling me to go back to college. No one thinks I can get that car and no one thinks I can start a band either. It's about fucking time I start proving people wrong.

hey guys, check out this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktuWC9ZXdkY

This is my favorite metalcore (shut up haters) song ever. Nothing I have ever heard in the history of music compares to that chorus.

For all you lazys out there, its "A Threnody for Modern Romance" by It Dies Today.

Has anybody here heard of a band called Epicurean?

They're a pretty unique melodic death metal band. They're one of the bands that mixes harsh vocals with clean. The harsh vocal parts are pretty average melodeath (which is never a bad thing), but their clean vocals are really unique. They have a sorta poppy sound to them, which I've never heard used in metal before. At first it was kinda annoying, but I grew accustomed to it, and now I love it.

Love metal. I like everything from Black Sabbath to 1349. 1349 is the best black/death metal band ever. Also, I like Atheist, System of a Down, and many other bands.
