Metal thread

[triste realtà]

No, although I heard that song once, I am too busy being old school and finding some lost gems like a track left off Metal Church s/t: I did really like the new Voivod album Infini though.

The cover these three chicks is bad ass enough to be metal in its own right Now that was worth listening too...nice!

How about these guys, they play on cello's, pretty impressive!

How about these guys, they play on cellos, pretty impressive! They are incredible live. Seriously, if you ever get a chance, do it. Their original stuff is even better than the Metallica covers they're most famous for: They're actually members of the Finnish National Orchestra and are considered world-class cellists in classical circles, but the get special dispensation to go and tour with their own band when they need to.

More hard rock than metal but i love these guys, booked my ticket to see them in April when they come to the UK

At the end of the day though, this dude should be in Iron Maiden now. I know Bruce has a good voice and all that but everything past Powerslave is complete and utter gash IMO. Come oooon man!: Although, I agree that Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son (so sue me maiden-geeks), No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark and Virtual XI were all sub-par albums (I removed The X Factor from this because it's a total departure and can't really be compared to any Maiden albums before or after), but every one had at least one decent song.

That new Slayer track is leaps and bounds better than anything they've done in 2 decades. Attending some sweet metal shit very soon: -Cannibal Corpse, DRI, Voivod (!!!), Magrudergrind, Absu, and Brutal Truth for free in Columbus, OH (Mike, you better be there) on March 13th. -Megadeth, Exodus, and Testament in Baltimore on March 16th. Megadeth will be playing Rust In Peace in it's fucking entirety!!!!!!!!! -Maryland Deathfest May 27-30. This one's fucking insane. AUTOPSY, OBITUARY, GORGUST, ENTOMBED (!!!), SODOM, POSSESSED, ASPHYX (caught them last year and they were fucking great), POSSESSED (seen them a couple times, not so good live), EYEHATEGOD, PESTILENCE, IMPALED, BIRDFLESH, DECEASED, PENTAGRAM, DRI, and about 50 more. I don't think I've seen any of you ever mention having been to any of the Deathfests, but I highly recommend going; it's so much fucking fun. Plus the distros/vendors always have awesome/rare DVD's and shirts.

Next Thursday I'm seeing mother fucking KREATOR and VOIVOD!!!!!!!!! Not to [re]mention, I'll be seeing Voivod again the following weekend, along with a slue of other greats!

How do you guys like the new Fear Factory?

[MikePizzoff]

Here's a picture of me and my buddy hanging out with Orvar Safstrom at Maryland Deathfest. He's the singer/guitarist of Nirvana 2002 and was once in Entombed (did the vocals on the Crawl EP)! He's also "the Roger Ebert of Sweden", hosting a weekly movie review show. Very awesome/friendly dude - had a great time hanging with him. Will have a picture of me with Jeroen from Pestilence, soon, as well!
