    Getting old or just tired of bands?

    Guys, I am a member since 2002. I used to listen to metal for hours each day. As you can tell from my user name, I am now 36 years old... Lately I've found that I have no desire anymore to listen to a lot of the bands that I once loved, like for example Primordial, Enslaved or Neurosis. Am I...

    Anyone else agree...

    ...that all of Devin's albums since Addicted are more or less crap? I consider albums like Biomech, Infinity, Terria and Acc. Evolution as absolute masterpieces. But since Addicted I'm feeling a constant decline in his music. I hate how his guitar playing got so uninspired and how he...

    Why do all bands turn to sh**?

    Why is it that almost every band turns to sh** after some time? It's like in the beginning they're all passionate and serious about their music, but once they have gained recognition they seem to lose focus and start to suck. Lately I've been let down by my two favourite bands/artists, that is...

    Doom soundtrack - Level 8

    Somehow this tune reminds me a lot of some metal song: Honestly, maybe I'm wrong but I feel I have heard that melody somewhere else... on some metal album! help me out here, thanks...

    Ruun booklet - weird!

    For each song the booklet says "Music: I.Peersen"...ok, now look at the band photo page: Kjellson, Isdal, Larsen, Bekkevold, Bjornson - no Peersen! wtf??

    Neurosis live = win!

    so I went to the Neurosis concert in Munich on thursday.... Alone of course - as none of my friends likes this band. ;) Neurosis seem to do very few concerts and I think the last time they visited Germany was many (> 5) years ago. however, it was f*** great! most of the stuff they played was...

    Goosebumps

    do you get them when listening to some particular songs? some people don't seem to ever have experienced this. I'm happy about being able to react to music in such a strong way. the following songs do it for me: Devin Townsend - Deep Peace, Bastard, Deadhead, Away, A Simple Lullaby Fates...

    Your dream band...

    Try to describe your dream band, i.e. the sound of that band. This will probably be a mixture of characteristics of many different real bands... well, I start: -rough description: dark, progressive, emotional and technical metal -long instrumental sections with lots of long-ass guitar solos...

    Imagine...

    Imagine that due to some (imaginay) reason you could never ever listen to _one_ of your favourite records again (reason may be that all the CDs in the world spontaneously crumble to dust or that the Nazis invade your country again, take away all your records and throw you into some prison ;-) )...

    Can Opeth get any bigger?

    do you think that Opeth can get more popular than now, if they keep the death vocals? as far as I can tell they made a huge leap forward since Damnation and GR. they sure are one of the biggest bands with DM influences. but most people just can't get over the death vox(as a matter of taste or...

    Hammers Of Misfortune

    There's something really weird about this band. I have no idea how to categorize them... pretty unique in my opinion. I only have The Bastard but will get The August Engine in the next few days. Opinions? I read that there's a link to the band Lord Weird Slough Feg (?), is that a similar style?

    Beyond Twilight

    this band is great... I just discovered them, and immediately bought all 3 of their albums. They are clearly a prog metal band, but very original, focussing much more on composition than technical display. the main songwriter is actually a keyboarder. but it's not at all keyboard-driven...
