You might be able to get away with your shit talking in the Opeth forum. But no one here wants to hear your opinion since you obviously have nothing objective or constructive to say. Begone.

Well why are you here stirring everyone into your pool of drama? If you don't like Bloodbath then take your complaints back to your fellow Nevermore fan-boys. Standing around lions with a steak talking about how undercooked you think it is, is not ballsy.. You are not fooling anyone.

[EmeticGore]

Then tell us ma'am, what are you kiddies into nowadays? Because we all know how awesome Pantera is

You're always looking for something so you can keep this up, it's amazing how bored and lonely you must be.

What kind of a question is that about the bands anyway?

Use your subtler form of complexity of a brain and read the other threads regarding other Death Metal bands.

Bloodbath was formed under this principle, "BRUTALITY COMES THROUGH SIMPLICITY" and though they don't necessarily follow this concept anymore it still backs up the fact that people have their own opinions and if you don't like it... who the fuck cares?

So what do ya'll listen to, EG? Besides Bloodbath, I mean.

the height of death metal is subject to interpretation and i'd be more than open to argue whatever it is you throw at me.

^elaborate on this statement

[S.U.A.D.]

I dig it all, though there are shit bands in all styles of metal, and there are DEFINITELY shit bands in both old and new school death metal. Some of the newer stuff seems to be just a bit overkill on the tech aspect (like Braindrill, who I really have to be in the mood for to enjoy), though bands like Decrepit Birth find a balance pretty well on the Diminishing album. Suffocation seems to find a good balance, as does Dying Fetus, between tech and groove.

Thanks, man. Yeah, I've posted a bit here and there on the Bloodbath forum, though in fairly insignificant threads and quite sporadically. Normally I'm either at M.O.D. or Amon Amarth's sections, and on occasion the central forum. Anyways, yeah, cheers to death metal and shit.

[Luz]

dude with that statement i bet you tour everywhere

and your band is...?

The difficulty here is not the complexity of the music, if not the people who create them.

Am dying to see you playing with your own band, so lets see what YOU have to offer.

[Scavneck]

I would like to see him fuck off already, so we could all just completely ignore his posts till he leaves, what about that? Huh? Hun?

[Luz]

definitely

Nonetheless, the band builds songs of great interior complexity and ties the entire album together through the relatively simple device of reusing melodic fragments in variation (not unlike the classical notion of the 'motif'). That's what is missing from Bloodbath: the strategic vision to tie all those little tactical bits together into something more complex than dumb rock music that sounds like "old school" death metal.

Dude, 3 men having sex with a camel in your room while you sleep couldn't be more wrong than you.
