You haven't lived until you've moshed to this band live.

[Crispy 5,563]

On a more somber note, I think this might be the last time you'll see me around here. Not going to get all whiny, but when you've got to go, you've got to go, you know? Figured you guys out of all of them are the ones I should even bother telling.

 

You guys have treated me well, and been some of the most rad guys I've talked to over the 'net. For that alone, I applaud you. Furthermore, I pretty much owe it all to Crispy for showing me metal beyond just modern prog, so for that... you've given me something I'll enjoy for a lifetime. Thanks man. To the rest of you, keep on rocking and keep it real.

 

Sad to see you go, my friend, but all things come to an end.  We won't forget you. <3

Everyone, pay attention to the bolded.  I hope this is the kind of respect and admiration that we can all have for each other.

 

I haven't been around nearly as much as I'd like (I'm sure some of you have noticed how infrequent my posts have become), but I still feel like this thread has the best collection of users on the forums.  The regulars are more a group of friends than causal forum goers, and I hope you guys feel the same.

Hey dude, I just wanted to thank you for showing me Periphery cause they're really awesome, and I probably wouldn't have even heard them if it wasn't for you. 

 

 

[Crispy 5,563]

Alright, nerds, listen up.

 

So you've probably seen me post on these two before, but...

 

 

Sockweb's album comes out on Tuesday and you should buy it.  A dad and his seven year old daughter doing some solid grindcore.  Also with guest spots from Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Pig Destroyer.

[Crispy 5,563]

 

Listening to the EP for old times sake.  Still amazing.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

Guys, this is sad. Seriously. RIP Dave Brockie. http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/gwar-frontman-dave-brockie-found-dead-at-home-1.2584164

 

On that note. Here's a good old classic tune by the most absurd and awesome metal band out there. BRING BACK THE BOMB!!!!

I really didn't know what to think when I saw this had happened.  That's two of their members now that have died early deaths.

Love me some Hammerfall! I seriously will drop ANYTHING I have planned if they ever come to town.

@@Crispy,

Yeah man I know right? It's so strange. I actually entertained the thought of conspiracy, given the fact that they tend to kill political figures on stage in pretty brutal ways. But that's purely a hunch with no evidence. It sucks though, they're a great band.

 

On that note, I will share with you one of the most influential songs in my life. Shadows of light, by Novembers doom. The lyrics to this song send chills up my spine to this day.

[Crispy 5,563]

Have we talked about Intervals new album?

 

 

Because I gotta say, I'm digging the direction.  Reminds me a lot of The Human Abstract.

[tehAgg 268]

If you haven't given Judas Priest (w/Tim Owens) a chance, you're definitely missing out!

seriously that is my favorite track off the album (which has been the first album i've bought in quite a long time). It's so jazzy, but also so heavy. Semesky's doing a great job on the vocals, i too am one of the people who are liking this direction. And like you said, the human abstract was the first band to come to mind as well with the album haha.

Dude.. wow. That is some awesome technical work, and the lyrics are really interesting. Good find.

Still gives me The Human Abstract, but at the same time, I feel some Racer X of all fucking things.  I love it.

Since this is the first you've heard of them, I think you should know that they were instrumental first!  The vocalist was a big change in direction for them and (in my opinion) a great addition.

 

That said, both EP's are totally worth your time.

Kick your friend in the head and have a ball
Come on and do the toxic waltz
And slam your partner against the wall
Everybody's doin' the toxic waltz
Good friendly violent fun in store for all
Get up off your ass and toxic waltz
If you hit the floor you can always crawl!"

So far, the ONLY band I've found in metal with a female vocalist that I like.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

@@Samrules350,

That band is my crack cocaine. Just saying. XD

Manowar! I seriously wish these guys would come and tour here in the states.

[Discordian 6,015]

Yup, still love Scar Symmetry. I love the disparity between the clean and dirty vocals they often use. I know other bands also use this sort of vocal style but SS does it better than most imo. Most bands will focus too much on one side or the other, these guys have a much more equal ratio of the two. Edited March 30, 2014 by Discordian

Saw those two bands back in January with the companion of Protest The Hero and The Safety Fire, literally the best damn concert i've ever been to!

Classic. Simply classic...Amazing lyrics as well.

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help, no one's around
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
Seems like no one cares at all

Always an emotion but how could I explain?
Kinda like the scent of a rose but you can't explain
The same with my pain, caught up in emotion, goes over my head
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death
Am I living or am I dead?

The clock keeps ticking but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And then I think about all the times that I've had
Some were good, most were bad

I search for personality, and I look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind,
pain and hate is all I find
Find no hope in nothing new
and I never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony
through my eyes that's all I see

If I'm gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears?
And if I'm gonna die, Lord, please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow, well, I just want to say
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?

Today, today, today when I can't even smile today
Today, today, today when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?

You think something's funny?
Laugh at this!!!!

So when I look outside my room,
I see the world but not the reason
What is done to me is not fair,
you call it fate, I call it treason

But I know not what to do, gimme a sign, I'll take whatever
But if you want me, here I am, ain't gonna die forever
And I tried to hold you but you just turned away
And I tried to tell you but not a word I say
Cried out so loudly but you just covered your ears
I gave you all the signs but you ignored my tears

So if you want me, here I am,
I sit here waiting your decision
But my body fights my mind
and it is headed straight for a collision
So am I getting near
Or am I still looking in all the wrong places?
But the only thing that seems to change
Are the looks on the faces

Doesn't anyone?
Seems like no one cares at all

I search for personality, I look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind,
pain and hate is all I find
Find no hope in nothing new
and I never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony, through my eyes that's all I see

How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?

How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?
Today, today, when I can't even smile today?
Today, today, when I can't even smile today?
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can't even smile today?
