ReVamp's new album (fronted by Floor Jansen) is one of my all time favourites now. \m/

One of the stand-out tracks...

So glad when I found the album in HMV, really didn't expect their sized down metal section to have it! :tongue:

yeah its pretty good. Still haven't gotten around to playing it through again yet. Really should given I really liked their first one.

Listening through Weather Systems (Anathema). I'm 3 songs in and fairly unimpressed so far. What's with this melodic ****? Give me something heavy!

Damn, I really liked it. After going through all their albums I think this is pretty much my favourite one, though I do love anything atmospheric. I find its their most consistent album. Their early doom stuff wasn't anywhere near as good as their contemporaries, their middle era period sounded quite weird, as if they didn't really know what direction they wanted to go in, but their newer ones are my favourite, the ones I go back to more often.

You liked the first one? You'll LOVE the second one! :yep:

It's more thrashy, mature and there are more moments reminiscent of After Forever (in ReVamp style).

I've heard it, I pre-ordered it with first class postage so got it release day :wink:

It just came at the weekend of Candlefest, where I bought a ton of other CDs and vinyl, and because of work I've not had the time to listen to all the stuff I've got recently more than once or twice. Will have to give it a few more spins soon as. I love SOP to bits, so having Marcela and Johann, as well as Devin is great

... or the decade (sorry, Black Sabath, I think so)

Nice!

Some nice touches in the album aswell, the CD itself was a shock! :lol:

Haha! I can understand that, hopefully SOP take some influence from helping out on the ReVamp album, because I'd like to hear them become a little heavier ahead of their new album, which I'm led to believe will be out around January or February. :smile:

Within Temptation's next album has had me excited for months and months now! :mmm:

20 days until the single is out. :woo:

They're touring with Amon Amarth this autumn, so I'll probably see them then. I can't say I really know much about them, aside from one of my friends knowing one of the band members.

This same friend also knows most of Mayhem, which is pretty cool.

yes, pretty cool, these are probably two of the more influential bands in extreme metal...

... although I'm not sure if I would want to know some people of the early norwegian black metal scene... :zomg:

That can be a amazing gig... :headbang:

If you like Amon Amarth I think that you like the last Carcass albums... (try heartwork may be)

Apparently when the cameras are off they're totally normal people - it's all just a show. I mean Dead and Varg are probably exceptions to that. I know someone who met Gaahl, apparently he's really nice and friendly until the cameras go on and then he's back to
"... ... ... ... *sips wine* ... Satan" mode.
I've seen a picture of my friend with Attila while he's wearing a police outfit and a fake moustache, I think in the dressing room for a Sunn O))) show:

Spoiler

I'll give that album a listen at some point - I find a gig is far more enjoyable if I know what's being played.

So the Finntroll/Tyr gig in Manchester happens to fall on the one night I definitely have to be somewhere else D:
Also Ex Deo are playing in a couple of days with Nile, but it's a bit expensive to get train tickets now.

Seeing Nile tomorrow. Haven't listened to them in years I realised yesterday, just bought the tickets as I used to like them. Hopefully it will be decent

Ladies and gentlemen, I think I've found the album of the year. Possibly decade:

It's staggering that this was just done by one person. Don't know if it was a home recording or what, but it sounds very professional.
I realise that (probably) none of you will listen to it in its entirety, but I really urge people to at least give it a chance for half an hour or so.
