    How's your chest today? Oh and fuck you, that line was the goodness. Not so much as an insult, but more as a sarcastic brutal text style date raping in return. Furthermore, no, insulting isn't my only specialty. I can hang in damn near any discussion this forum spits out, but I generally can't be bothered since with a good percentage of people here I don't get anything of worth in return.

    You don't have to be good at playing an instrument to be a good musician. I'm not a good guitar player, but i'm a good heavy metal musician.

    They ain't black metal in the same vein as Emperor or Immortal or Darkthrone. I'll a post a review of one of their earlier efforts. Basically the stuff that's said in this review comes to fruition in many ways on their new album. Landline 1999 Production: Distant but textured and rich. Review: Muscular power chord riffs weave melody into their powerful thrust cooperating with a characteristic style of percussion that breaks its even drive completely in fills usually in chunks of fractalized smaller size in which the playing is consistent until insufficient space remains and the phrase of percussion explodes in finality. Fast blasting, whispered guttural black metal vocals, and precise grindcore drumming at high speed complement the subtle sense of melody which fits behind otherwise chromatic and dark, entropy-ridden riff and song structure, supplanting its tonal motion with structure by hierarchical similarity. In the casual style of a death metal band Axis of Advance move between tempos varied from the moribund doompace to uptempo threshing with abrupt punctuations, emphasizing the melodic structure of accompanying guitar narrative. The listener is not forgotten with epic weaving of melody into landscapes of time and space agitated by furious technique and motion, using the forward motion of high energy music to allow themes a space to expand enough to be recognized, allowing numerous variants on riffs in structures bridging tonal spaces defined by families of riff motifs and allowing structural changes in tempo, tone location and direction; the resulting narrative orchestrates its events through linear music. Complexity and speed alone would have made this gratifying, but it joins the higher echelon of artists who can make in the postmodern style a stream of esoteric data which combines in a theory of existence expressed in music, with its depth of texture and inexhaustable mood and intensity variation. A furnace against heat death and despite its fairly primitive sound and aesthetic of delivery, this violent offering affirms the power of chaos over systematic processing. For that despite its membership in the more directly assaultive style of black metal, this release encodes a high degree of experience in its shock of sound redoubt. http://anus.com/metal/axisofadvance.html ----- Nowadays Black Metal is a mostly miss genre at the best of times, but there are a few soldiers who are providing worthwhile work that doesn't blindly subscribe to the scene and doesn't fall into the trap of resting on past accomplishments (Axis of Advance, Averse Sefira, Summoning) Modern Black Metal (post 2000) has become an almost all encompassing waste land anyway. Another act you might enjoy while I'm on the subject, that might not seem like your style is Ildjarn ( http://anus.com/metal/ildjarn.html ), particularly Det Frysend Nordariket and Hardangervidda 1

    Oh wow. You decided to mock me with a type of sarcasm that is worthy of a MikeSC post. Wonderfully vicious method of crushing me. Although, I give you credit for at least leaving me with bus fare to get home after such a brutal text style date raping.

    where'd the fantasy folder go?

    I'm not talking about garbage threads, I'm talking about ease of navigation since there have been complaints. The solution to garbage threads is pretty clear, for people who think for a second or three about posting.

    where'd the fantasy folder go?

    You know, I'm trying to help the people here, Nik, not crush their desire to discuss general topics regarding sports entertainment.
  8. Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye

    where'd the fantasy folder go?

    In those terribly cramped and now somehow impossible forums, do this. If you post a fantasy booking thread, put this in your title [FANTASY] or [E-FED] Rowe's WWE Diary Interview would be [iNTERVIEW] Jasmine St.Claire.... [REVIEW]Super Duper Indy Show 1/14 [QUESTION] or [REQUEST]Does Anyone Know....? etc etc

    yeah, if all the posters who go in there are monkeys and don't know how to read/scroll their mouse/click on the page select.

    Tell everyone else who posts in there to not post so many threads, easy. They'll listen to you.

    Upcoming shows I'm seeing:

    My 25th birthday is going to be spent with Alberta black metal leaders Axis Of Advance and my brother's band in some shitty club in town revelling in the sweet science of mental murder. Agent, you truly must check out Axis, they are like nothing else.

    I just got Cool Edit Pro.

    For extra band members you're basically looking for warm bodies who can play the shit you show them. If you're lucky, you'll gain a collaborator that has a grasp on what you're trying to express in your music that can take it to another level. If you're not, you're giving up a larger chunk of the payoff when you play out. Don't over stock.

    Techno...any suggestions?

    Don't get defensive with me, smart guy. When I call you by name, then you may address me in that manner.

    Techno...any suggestions?

    IDRM must get so frustrated in these threads. If people wish to list recommendations, then list the shit you think the person will like, don't just run off a list out of your winamp playlist of all the shit you know.

    Are you a pilgrim in an unholy land?

    I live surrounded by many different forms of Christian god who are slightly right in the left right spectrum of things. Nobody talks to me about politics and shit because if someone mentions supposedly important and life altering political dealings, I shrug it off and tell them about 1994 in black metal or something. At this point, I guess I'm green by default.

    I'm noticing a lack of old school

    I've just noticed that it takes me only two mouse wheel scrolls to get from the top of the board to the bottom. I am pleased by this improvement and wish to see the work continue.

    Man I Hope I'm Doing This Right...

    Making any post anywhere probably isn't going to work out well.

    US Troops use children as shields

    Well, one could ask the same question as your last one about American troops.

    I'm happy that he resisted. That joke would have been terrible on top of being far too easy to have any effect.
