So I won't tell this death metal cat to date my daughter. that what you're saying?
death metals not the problem, its black metal that's a little sinister as far as i can tell, for some, especially the Norwegians, for their music comes with an ideology which some have put into practice, thus the suicides, murders, church burnings etc etc.

But despite the ridiculous aesthetics, some of the music is really great. Emperor's Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk is one of the most intense and chaotic - yet beautiful - pieces of music ever written.

As is Arcturus' Aspera Hiems Simpfonia, and Amorphis' Tales From the Thousand Lakes and Elegy. And let's not forget Nightwish (another Finnish band). The Gathering makes some rather beautiful music as well.

It is a sad state when aging metalheads get all nostalgic about how things used to be. When you all were what 16-20 you laughed in the face of the old dudes who thought your music was just noise and crap and such. There is nothing more depressing to see old coggers yammering on how things were better in their days. Hell I'm 35 and i'm not done trying to expan ...[text shortened]... off your devil horns and put out some effort or shut up and die into obscurity. Purists suck!

chill bozowell that makes sense. Jazz fans are pretentious and blues fans are hopeless. And I never said that metal fans hide their passion for music, they just feel like they are a pariah. Metal fans ware there passion on their sleeve(preferably a metal studded leather sleeve or on a hot day a sleevless T). Having said that I will go back to being my pretentious, hopeless sleevless self now thank you.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo but Maiden and Motorhead sounded a bit like The Stooges(with a bit more speed, wait Can you do more drugs Iggy? Maybe if your name is Lemmy) I say let the music morph!

Originally posted by SeitseI have and love lots of Finnish music - for example Circle, Tenhi, Kuusumun Profeetta, CMX, Alamaailman Vasarat, Moonsorrow and others, but I don't like Nightwish, sorry. I mean, they were vaguely interesting when they started out, but all of their songs and albums are pretty much the same trick repeated over and over again.
Have more respect for the pride of Finland, lol.
Or at least don't say it to Finns while you're here.
Want to hear some real Finnish talent? Youtube kotiteollisuus and Stam1na.
I've heard stam1na and don't really like them - I'll give Kotiteollisuus a listen.

Metal never died and will never die,it only melts together with other styles.Listen to bands as Fear Factory (metal with a flavour of industrial) The Gathering(Metal,industrial,gothic and psychedelic,I think the best dutch band ever)Or what about the old school bands like SLAYER,still alive and kicking.

Originally posted by quorthonI think Quorthon made significantly better music than those guys - though The Gathering are quite good.
