angela of arch enemy is not only unreal as a metal singer but also as a person - she was actually apologizing for the high cost of tshirts sold at their concerts in one venue due to the club in question charging 20% comm.

i mean seriously, when was the last time you heard of a band lead singer taking care of the fans' interest at heart?

nope. But i am now HOOKED on DARK FUNERAL

WHAT?! Confirmed DESTRUCTION is coming to KL ? ok let me know...i am sure gonna attend

anyways, back to black metal - can someone else please recommend me a band that is as heavy as dark funeral and emperor ?

@cradleoffilth - yup - i just got exposed to dark funeral...i cant tell you how long i have been searching for a band which such a heavy sound.

dragonforce was featured in captialone's mobile banking app commercial. quite cool.

since i am on the topic of speedmetal - can i safely say that dragonforce is the best there is today ? i mean, look at gamma ray and helloween.... they are pretty much crap now

here is my take :
Steve vai - yup, his two best albums are passion & warfare + sex & religion. Perhaps he is comparing himself with Yngwie Malmsteen (hence the desire to something beyond metal like his opera) which, even though have been on a downhill but have accomplished so much more imho.

so back to topic of why older metal bands sound like crap now - i just wish more are like amorphis/emperor/dark funeral/bathory/Death. yes, they have changed their sound over the years but at least its not a pile of crap. Case in point - Bathory's Norland - clean vocals but yet the heaviness and the signature atmosphere produced is still top notch. Man...i really wished Quorthon was still alive..... there really isnt anymore bands that can make albums like him.

yup - cradle of filth's Dusk... and Her Embrace

after looking at the list from air hendrix....i always wondered by coroner split up - they had extremely fantastic technical melodic songs but never bcame big like kreator....

and btw, KL METAL CAMP 2013 - DESTRUCTION is headlining. who is going?

well.... am i the only one really tired with all these old timers breaking up due to money issues ? black sabbath , queensryche, slayer...the list is never ending man....

time to move on - i am hooked on arcturus now....its....very different approach to metal..... hint of old pestilence style of progressive/jazz but also quite modern riffs like therion....ehheeh

what time will destruction play ?

quite keen to see grave and obituary in spore but the exchange rate...2.5 now...too damn high

Destruction will definitely be last..... question is what time will they start their set....heheheeh

on another side note...i think our brader cradleoffilth is having his time of his life in perth music fest now

WTF...both COF and OBITUARY going to SPORE!!!?!!

knn ccb.....

Pics, reviews !

slipknot is ok....but for me...only their 1st album was good

Kalmah ok but i got bored very quickly ...maybe bcos they sounded a bit like the old AMORPHIS

I have been relistening to SYL's CITY ( Strapping Young Lad) - it is still as heavy as f***. Heavier than most metal (black or death) out there.

am i the only one skipping the metallica concert ?

1) i really dont know any of their new songs at all
2) metallica concerts nowadays nothing special.....

Yeah!!! hahahahahha!!!

Carcass ! oh yeah

Yup. they are still going strong.

since you guys are talking about megadeth....... actually why are we still talking about them la?
