  2. Never seen them live, but from the live clips I've seen, they're very typical of the style. Frantic motion and "weird" gimmicks replacing tight performance and masking (lol!) their music. Perhaps deep down they don't trust the quality of their own music?
  3. No, they are certainly metal, just incredibly bad metal.
  4. Mastodon is the very best of the predictably wacky metal bands, particularly out of Relapse Records and their ilk. I've soured on them a fair bit
  5. Czech read my shadow's fall review <3
  6. After selling overpriced garbage for years, they are scrambling now because people have a choice in how they get these products, and it's ruining their business model.
  7. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?...topic=62136&hl= The band reference in this post has splintered and I'm in as a full time member (as opposed to helping with writing). The deadweight is gone, and it's time for a new name. Same rules apply as with the previous request. Go.
  8. If you're looking for a more synthesized/computerized style of music, I think you might also benefit from higher caliber Ambient/Dark works out there. They share much of Metal's ability for emotional bonding and spiritual examination, following a parallel path in arriving there. First recommendations would be Dead Can Dance - Aion, Serpent's Egg Tangerine Dream - Phaedra, Rubycon You asked that there be no industrial metal recommendations given, but you have to listen to Godflesh Streetcleaner anyway. You might also get something of worth out of listening to the earlier works of Neurosis. Through Silver In Blood uses some metal styles as accents, and it's kinda like listening to pure gravity if you hear it at high volume. Not sure what exactly you're looking for when you drop those band names, then ask for no Industrial Metal.
  9. Criminals give up their right to vote once they've committed their crime(in an ideal, intelligent system of course...). If they can't live within the rules of their society, why should they be allowed to help determine the fate of people who do?
  10. Why's that?

  12. Then you lock/delete those complaints and keep on truckin towards the intended target, in this (somewhat) hypothetical case, a functioning WWE discussion forum. To keep something healthy, you sometimes have to prune away dead and diseased parts. Once this work has gone on for long enough, you have then succeeded in creating a community that is basically self regulating. Is there a fear of bruising members' egos or being made to look like an asshole?
  13. Maybe it's time to really stop caring what these feebs think and just do it? It can be said a million times that their opinion doesn't matter if they call you a nazi, but it's hard to back up when 99% of them aren't axed.
  14. A ridiculously good post/idea about running a message forum. http://thephora.net/forum/showpost.php?p=27715&postcount=6 "ou can have fun, but don't let it descend into idiocy. If a post is unproductive, lock it, explaining WHY it is unproductive, and move one to other topics. Egocases will whine and bitch because of the Nazi mods locking or deleting their topics, but they are a minority. If your focus is on an overall quality of forum content, the moaning of a few whiners about a locked topic is insignificant, to say the least. Otherwise, you attract more people by having a great forum to begin with. If a few leave because they don't like having to speak within a certain standard of intelligence, they are more than welcome to leave and find other pursuits. More will find the forum and, seeing the quality of what is there and the intelligence with which the users converse, they will most likely stay, and strive to fit into the overall standard of quality themselves." Regardless, there are plenty of other forums out there that serve a purpose for bullshitting, queries, reviewing, discussing, learning etc etc etc, and it's up to the members of a forum to decide what they want from it. There's plenty of other places to go if this one doesn't suit you. Let the nostalgia go if it's a lost cause. About the original post: Is it genuine anger at the content here, of is it an assertion of your own percieved superiority? Doesn't strike me as a call to arms more than it does an insult to lower posters, imo of course. And why not set that standard yourself, instead of asking someone to do it for you?
  15. Rip the sacred flesh Sodomize the holy asshole Drink the red blood of the mother of earth Masturbation on the dead body of christ The king of Jews is dead and so are the lies Vomit on the host of Heaven Masturbate on the throne of God Break the seals of angels Drink the sweet blood of Christ Taste the flesh of the priest Sodomize holy nuns The king of Jews is a liar The Heavens will burn Dethrone the son of God God is dead Holyness is gone Purity is gone Prayers are burned Covered in black shit Rape the holy ghost Unclean birth of Jesus Christ Heaven will fall Fuck the church Fuck Christ Fuck the Virgin Fuck the gods of Heaven Fuck the name of Jesus
  16. nicotine is great Weed is great codeine phosphate is pretty good Alcohol is good Hash is good ephedra(ephedrine??...anyway, that shit that killed that baseball guy and was in cold medicine) is ok, but caused me to nearly off myself. Got to know myself better. Never again though. I haven't done any of the cool drugs yet, and I never will.
  17. Bah, go take your favourite of 05 and shitty trash music to their own threads and stop gaying my awesome listmania up!
  18. Is this game any good on PC? Is any baseball game good on PC? I've been thinking of getting into a baseball game, and I'd prefer not to do emulated Bases Loaded 2.

  20. So why mention it, especially in a Death Metal thread? lol
  21. One thing I have just thought of (of course the moment after I sent admin a message about posting articles) is whether or not you can post to the main site if you have previous bannings/suspensions. Does it make a difference?
  22. The Upright Man and Dave O'Neill
  23. yes sir, it does suck. Mightily. Replace it with Averse Sefira Tetragrammatical Astygmata
  24. I'm not all fanatical about it, and I hope I never am, I just feel it would be in "our" best interest if some of the fun was taken out of it until such time that the quality artists can come out of the woodwork and shine again. Being a lazy prick at 3:40 am, I'll just quote from the Dark Legions Archive, who have basically influenced my thinking on this. Speed Metal: Thrash Metal: http://anus.com/metal/about/genre/ Most people have the same idea about Thrash and Speed as earlier mentioned in the thread, simply because it's been represented that way in the media for so long.
  25. Being so inclusive creates a problem of allowing more people into the Metal Clubhouse ie: emo bands and thusly bringing down the overall quality to an even lower level and drowning the greats in even more obscurity. But this, like much of my ranting in this thread I see, is getting a little tangential(almost edit: this whole post is tangential. rock out!) Thrash: Formed from a hybrid of speed metal and hardcore punk, thrash was metal riffs in punk song structures and rhythms. Thrash songs were short, furious bursts of energy that took either political topics or a political look at everyday life, asking why it was so empty and threatening. Where speed metal put punk tempos into metal riffs, and borrowed structure from both prog and heavy metal, thrash structure was almost improvisational. It was also more literal, eschewing entirely the metaphorical (hobbits, wizards, occult) side of metal for the day-to-day life descriptions and metapolitical social critique of hardcore bands. At first, it was avoided by most metalheads and punks alike for not fitting enough to either genre, but eventually someone came up with the word "crossover" to describe it. While many metal writers tend to lump it in with speed metal, or some media creation like "thrash metal," it is a distinct genre, and foreshadowed both the metalcore of the 1990s and the abstract critique of modern mortality denial found in grindcore and death metal. However, its popularity among those who liked realistic and assertive music was such that, despite poor recording quality and songs too explosive for radio play, most thrash bands made it onto labels of a respectable size before being absorbed by either metal or hardcore in the late 1980s. DRI = Thrash Slayer = Speed/Proto-Death I've begun to realize the importance of putting more limits on what is and what isn't good or metal and the genres they fit into etc, simply to do my small part to reduce the amount of truly lousy crap that's spewing out of the heavy metal universe.
