Album Hall of Fame & Why?

[mrdevious]

nah, never heard of them. They arent like the typical death metal are they?? I'm a little picky on death metal, too much of it that i have heard sounded the same. I'll check Amon Amarth out cause i'm totally open to new shit.

well that depends on what you call "typical". it's definately not the dimmu-borgir/cradle of filth type singing, if that's what you mean. their older stuff is rather different from their newer stuff, the new stuff has a much more epic and solid sound, though without a doubt still death metal. they're swedish, and mainly sing about Viking's and the mythology following it. I'd definately say though, if you're going to check them out check out their album "Vs. the world", it's god damn brilliant. my favorite songs off it are "death in fire", "Across the rainbow bridge", "thousand years of oppression", and "and soon the world will cease to be".

and this one...just because....

This is very dissapointing. Does anybody actively search out for new music, rather than have it broadcasted to them on the radio or MTV?

Funny you say that. I get all my music recommendations from the internet and friends. I couldn't stand Tool when I was listening to the radio. Not all good bands are underground. It's disappointing you would generalize otherwise. I have a massively eclectic taste in music.

finally a metal fan!


btw you ever heard amon amarth? I've really gotten into them, they're death metal (though certainly a unique and beautifully powerfull type)

Isn't Amon Amarth viking metal? I like some of their stuff.

Death metal fans check out Cannibal Corpse and Cryptopsy. Then again, chances are you already have. Not much death metal on MTV, eh, adfsghjn?

[mrdevious]

Yes, they're "viking metal" I suppose. they are vikings, singing about vikings, though I don't believe this is a genre in itself.

That's just what I heard them described as. I have a Norwegian friend who is a fan.

Death metal lyrics are generally what you would consider suitable for the soundtrack of a horror movie.

I think "First Rays of The New Rising Sun" (both discs) would've, eventually, topped the charts, and rendered all music needless... :what:

Who's that by?


(note: if it's amon amarth, I only own 2 albums so I wouldn't know).

for death metal, i'm going with deicide- once upon the cross, the relentless pounding and driving grooves, then glen benton(sp) blows you away with some of the most evil lyrics.......EVER!

pink floyd's dark side of the moon, this album is the best. put together so perfectly the whole album feels like one big song. It cronicles the human life span, money,time,war(us and them),and madness(brain damage/eclipse). this cd never leaves my player, great to get stoned and listen to.

Was Saxon a viking metal band?

I think that's the stupid thing I've ever said
