Nocstar Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Bit late I guess But I saw Children of Bodom on the 26th in the Astoria in London Was SO AMAZINGLY GOOD. ALEXI LAIHO IS GOD. They were playing with EKTOMORF, who also are a really good band. Dude Alexi is so freaking insane it blows my mind... Listen to some of the older Children albums because they have kicked ass even more so in the past. But yeah their live show is pretty damn good.. Alexi loves what he is doing and the crowd loves the energy. Children of Bodom PWN!

rounds Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I've been hearing a lot about Trivium and I finally gave them a chance. Rather unimpressed really. The vocals are absolute, utter **** in my opinion, so I won't even cover them beyond this. They do have a few decent riffs here and there, but overall the guitarwork is incredibly uninspired. Nothing fresh, exciting, original etc...none of these words come to mind when I put on Ascendancy. The rhythm section is incredibly boring as well. The only redeeming quality I can think of when it comes to percussion is some cool double bass here and there...but honestly, what modern metal band can't pull off some sparse double bass? No interesting fills, intricate beats, killer groove...none of it to be found here. The bass is far too low in the mix, though it might as well be, because it wasn't doing much either. The only reason I can see someone being impressed by this band is having never heard a thrashy styled riff played over double bass. If you like that part, there are plenty of better bands that can do that (Dark Angel! Behemoth! Nile!). /Me deletes ascendancy from hard drive. Yeah, I have to agree. I used to like them, but I deleted their album from my PC quite a while ago :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344650-neowin-metal-club/page/35/#findComment-587190123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raum Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 CoB...wouldn't call them bad, but I don't really get into them. They were on the bill with Iced Earth (Saw them play their first show with ripper in fact) and they were kinda fun to watch, but nothing I'd go out and buy. Now, all I've really been doing is bashing **** in this thread, so for those interested in some metal I do like, here's what I've been listening to recently.... Behemoth - Demigod Velvet Cacoon - Northsuite And Oceans - The Symettry Of... Defiled - Erupted Wrath Bloodbath - Everything Sadus - Visions Of Misery Decapitated - Nihility Carnivore - Selftitled Pelican - Everything Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics, Dopethrone, We Live Stormlord - Gorgon Cult Limbonic Art - Epitome Of Illusions Kampfar - Fra Underverdenen and his Norse EP Earth - Earth 2 Sun O))) - Black One Necrophagist - Everything Demilich - Everything Artillery - By Inheritance Opeth - Orchid, Deliverance, Ghost Reveries, Damnation, Morningrise Ayreon - Electric Castle, Human Equation Liquid Tension Experiment - 1 Kreator - Endless Pain Candlemass - Ancient Dreams Damn, that's a good list of music. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344650-neowin-metal-club/page/35/#findComment-587190929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted February 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2006 Come Clarity as opposed to the two prior In Flames albums: Great Come Clarity as opposed to good metal albums like the new Psycroptic, Benighted, and Decapitated: Mediocre Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/344650-neowin-metal-club/page/35/#findComment-587193166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be worse though....playing is still damn good regardless.

Raum Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I've just never been a fan of the hardcore vocal style, with the only notable exception being certain parts to Isis songs. From what I heard, he does them good compared to other hardcore style singers, but it's just not a style I like as much compared to a more traditional death metal vocal style. It's still good music though. It'd be like Behemoth incorporating country music or polka influences. Might give them a unique sound compared to whatt hey used to do, but doesn't mean I'll like it. I'm just not a fan of those styles....can still appreciate them though.

D!ABOL!C Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I went to the Opeth and DTB show last nite and let me tell you it was an incredible show. Since Dark Tranquility missed their flight, Akerfeldt said that were probably drunk. He also said they were form the Anus of Sweden lol He's so ****ing silly. Anywho, since the missed the opening nite, Devin played a full set 11 songs about an hour and 15 minutes. And Opeth did the extended set that they are only doing on 3 other dates. First with Devin. I only started listening to DTB (I have been into SYL first) just recently when I saw they were on the tour, and I dug it a lot. He played 3 songs of Synchestra as well as some of from the others like Ocean Machine (Life, love that song) and a few others. I've always said that you never get a good appreciation for a band until you see them live. That rule applies here, but also to Opeth, I'll get to them in a sec. Devin was just jamming a long and playing some of his cool riffs. Awesome show by him. Then Opeth came on. They started out with Ghost of Perdition and went from their. Some of the others they played were, White Cluster, The Drapery Falls, Baying of the Hounds, Deliverance, and they played Under the Weeping Moon off of Orchid. Akerfeldt said that they didn't have their effect pedals so they couldn't do the set list from the Chronological Setlist they were gonna do, but it was still an awesome show. They were tearing it up really good too. And of course they ended with Demon of the Fall. This is my third time seeing them, and they have been better and better each time.
