Metal Reviews

the actual problem with the band, not Gossow's vox.

I'd wager both buts thats just me.

And everyone check out the new Exhumed if they're just looking for enjoyable death metal, good meaty fun.

New Exhumed is Awesome! I Agree. Also the new Decapitated. This is supposed to be a quote, or whatever, from Goat. I don't know how to do it correctly. Anyway, I agree with Goat.

Some guitar stuff isn't bad for thrashy stuff, but still pretty generic mallcore crap.

fucking hate this adjective for being a catch-all for things people don't like. This is limp melodeath. Neither -core nor sold at Hot Topic so what the fuck is that even supposed to mean anymore.

I wish I knew where all these malls are that play hardcore. Lucky if you get Lady Gaga's better moments over here.

The phrase is lost in 2001 and some people haven't moved on.

So are "kvlt" and "tr00", but since when does that stop anybody from using those hackneyed phrases?

Hmm. In all seriousness, isn't your argument against Krallice that it isn't true black metal but lacking of the characteristics, the je ne sais quoi which would make it legit bm?

*sigh*... am I to be forever doomed to have to explain every single little thing to you, no matter how obvious it is?

Fuck it, I'm not even going to bother.

I'm just asking how it isn't contradictory to say "kvlt" and "tr00" are 'hackneyed' when they are exactly what you go on spiels about in the criticism you make of Krallice. That's fine whatever. I shouldn't assume you are rational.

And I shouldn't assume you have any intelligence about you.

Last time I explain something that should be obvious to anybody with any sense, because it gets BORING after awhile:

"kvlt" and "tr00" are derisive terms used to marginalize those that take a more purist approach to the genre, usually employed by dilletantes and idiots.
Did that cut through the fog?

You're just pouty because the shoe fits.

What shoe is that?

That you're too true for school.

Yeah, whatever you say, sparky.

I shouldn't poke fun at the grump so much, right?

I just use those to make fun of you serious types.

Trapt I agree.

It's melodeath. Just cause it's not the best melodeath does not make it mallcore.

I actually like it but I also like Pantera and early Machine Head.

Sue me!

Tony - nice review. I think that we're certainly in the minority around here of those who prefer Angela in AE. I also agree that this album is better than Rise of the Tyrant on every level. Overall this album met my expectations for an AE album plus I'm a sucker for the Amott brother's guitar work because they continue to harmonize guitar solos. A throwback I know. Mike Amott also makes very good use of his wah pedal in the majority of his solos which I enjoy too.
