Ugh, Dragonforce. I want to like the band... and the music itself is excellent... but the vocals just make me cringe like no other.

Dragonforce isn't worth a shit, I don't give a damn if Kirk Hammett called it the fastest playing he's ever heard. It doesn't make it good.

Dragonforce seems pretty cool, and that guitar solo is definetly amazing, their hands move so fast 0.o. I don't find find the vocals as bad as you guys say, but thats just a matter of taste I guess...
As for you, Terra, I finally got around to trying out Eternal Tears of Sorrow too, and I must say their pretty awesome. As Nai said the screaming takes some getting used to to but I think I'm getting there. Thanks for introducing me to them.

Why are you shitheads always stuck up Terra's ass anyway? I offer new music choices as well but you never listen to them. Your loss.

Im never stuck up his ass, but give us some recommendations.

I've been listening to Mnemic a lot lately. They're pretty fun.
What's your problem? Why do you care if people listen to Terra and try out what he recommends? Why don't you write a recommendation and we'll see if you can do it good enough for people to actually want to try the band.
I happen to enjoy Dragonforce to and i don't care if some guy on a forum says it isn't good, let people like what they want.
Holy Satan, I was just fucking around
Anyway I did make suggestions. And no one bothered trying! Terra may have seniority but I am SO TOTALLY more metal than him
Looks like the new Samael album is being recorded, check out The Cross, my fave song from them.
"They call it 'The American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
Samael is cool. But I could have sworn that your favorite song would be from their black metal period. The Cross is nice though, as is most of their electromaterial. I didn't like old Samael however.
Other metal news,
Rhapsody changes name to Rhapsody of Fire and becomes even more gay. Their new album has leaked, I haven't listened to it yet but for those who are interested; get to it.
The new Blind Guardian album "A Twist in the Myth" has also leaked. I am not normally a big fan of this group despite their vast popularity, but the new album fucking kicks ass! Especially the single, "Fly". GET IT!
"Otherland" is the best on the cd IMO.
Whoa, I was blindsided by the news of a new Maiden album, I'd no idea it was almost done..The single, Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, is awesome.
I've been into Graveworm as of late, I especially love the instrumental "Threnody"
OH and Symphony X's new album is going to be a concept album based on John Milton's book "Paradise Lost" (for those unfamiliar, the internet is a wealth of all knowledge) I can't wait to see what they do with this.
I got the new Blind guardian... I don't much care for it. Kind of boring

Anyone like Haggard? They're my favorite band.

Hoho, the new Rhapsody ( of Fire, now too! ) album was great with an ample amount of the usual gayness indeed. Strong vocals, awesome chanting, Christopher Lee narrating once again and their usual epic sound. I also felt their lyrics were better written than usual. My favorite piece was without a doubt Silent Dream. Old Age Of Wonders made me want to slit my wrists. FUCK THE GOD DAMN ELVES! I do however have to say that Rhapsody of Fire feels somewhat dull compared to Luca's own project Dreamquest. Guess I'm growing somewhat tired of fantasy.
At any rate, it makes me pleased to see that both Rhapsody and Luca are developing in such positive ways ( unlike oh so many metal bands ). Now Staropoli just needs to release that damn solo album of his!
/ No, you warrant no villain's exposition from me.
I'm having troubles. Should I create a new folder for Rhapsody's new album (since they have a new name now) or should I rename my original Rhapsody folder to reflect their name change? This is hard!!
Some metal I like:
----
Soilwork - Predator's Portrait
Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
Botch - Anthology of Dead Ends
Meshuggah - Chaosphere
----
I also like some stuff by Theory in Practice, Coalesce, derrrr.... as soon as I found this thread, of course I forgot all my favorite bands.
By far my favorite metal was composed by an amazing friend who is developing very complicated polyrhythms. So far I've seen him do four simultaneous meters (one with each limb). Heh, actually, he's a Japanese drummer who got me in to Naruto in the first place.

Symphony of Destruction is awesome as well when it comes to their "hits", and Tornado of Souls of course.
