    Metal Ep’s/demo’s/split cd’s that you like better than the full-lengths

    Metal with occult atmosphere

    I'm looking for quality bands with sounds/atmosphere similar to that of bands like Necromantia, early Varathron, Master's Hammer, Mortuary Drape, Root, Mortuary, Necromass, etc, etc (they all have occult/supernatural themes in the artwork/lyrics too). I'd describe the sound as evil, creepy...

    Album cover of the debut (and what the title means)

    For those of you were into (real) metal back in the 90's...

    I am curious to know what it was 'like' to be into (real) underground metal back in those days. What I mean is this... how did you attain knowledge of the bands/albums compared to how most people do today? In those years, did you ever form an understanding of metal's different genres and how...

    Your preferences regarding number of tracks on a cd

    (this thread was somewhat inspired by the ‘metal listening’ thread by Zephyrus) Couple questions--- (1) Do you tend to prefer cd's with lots of tracks (over 10, mostly meaning upwards of 12 or more tracks), or less tracks (less than 10), and how much does that preference affect your judgment...
