    personal statement.

    basically i came across some reviews, took a chance with all three albums, and by the time i came to the the last i was hooked. i like power metal but i rarely get to hear it heard played this way and the vocals are incredible.

    am i the only one?( arcturus reference)

    put the album back on to see where i had problems. garms definetly not bad but still not sure. simens backing vocals on the beginning of MofD are perfect when matched with garm. takes a while for me to get into him on this song. great lyrics but the vocal melody seems more designed to be like...

    Thomen out of SAVAGE CIRCUS?

    the best thing about SC was how it gave the persuader boys a chance to get more music out there but i still like the eden burns album more so i can survive without another SC album though one more would be cool.

    am i the only one?( arcturus reference)

    there for sure are some great parts on the album. i just think it would have been better maybe if simen was used more in conjunction with garm.

    am i the only one?( arcturus reference)

    i pulled out the la masquerade album for a listen(its been a while) and as usual i get hit with the same impression: the musics great, the theatrical feel is awesome and different, but i just cant get into garm on the album(for the most part anyways). he really feels like the weak link here even...

    help a guitar player with right hand muting

    hi, ive been trying out fingerstyle lately but find i have trouble keeping things quiet while playing ascending scale passages. to much ring or noise for my taste as my fret hand moves from a lower string to a higher one. is alternating fingers using a "rest stroke" technique the key to my...

    need right hand muting help for classical/fingerstyle

    someone please tell me if i have the right idea here if you can. i ve been moving away from using a pick so i can use more of the advantages that an all fingers approach can provide but i've found difficulty in keeping strings quiet while playing ascending scalar passages with an alternating...

    RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

    im with you on this one too but only in that the messiah debut is better. im more partial to ancient dreams perhaps but im not quite sure.

    Opeth....

    very well put. my only qualm with the band is that they probably make the songs 1-2 min longer than they need to be.

    THORNOGRAPHY

    i'm a COF fan and as such i really enjoy this album after hearing it this morning. To say that this album isnt metal is stupid. my only complaint would be the lack keyboards on the album which has always played a key role in the bands sound. their are definite holes in songs where the keys would...

    God damn! I spend too much money on cds.

    i used to spend 120-200$$ a week easy but have eased off as im pretty happy with my collection. i find the end records to be a lifesaver as the prices are real cheap and the selection is pretty great as long as they can replenish out of stock items in a decent time anyways. if i cant find it...

    The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

    i enjoy mercenary as well but i dont think that they ve reached their full potential yet. the use of the vocals sometimes makes me think of into eternity even though IE does more death vocals. the hours that remain didnt blow me away as much as expected but that doesnt mean that it isnt pretty...

    DERON LIKES TRIVIUM

    you just read my mind. the first time i heard them i could see the talent but the hardcore approach to the vocals ruined everything for me and the cleans were definetly of the typical metalcore variety. i do feel that leaving behind the hardcore stuff is a step in the right direction and i do...

    getting into keyboard tips.

    through bands like mercenary, sonata arctica, and eternal tears of sorrow, etc i've really found an appreciation for keys in metal music and am interested in them as a second musical instrument but as i know nothing about them i have know idea what i should be looking for in the instument. do i...
