Wow, a PoS battle - these guys must be good. And now Dan is in on this debate, eh?

No. No, he's not. it's between me and Steph. Everyone else... we'll say they don't have a high enough power level.

Kristoffer played on BE, correct? I just checked wiki, it looks like he played on most of their CD's - perfect. I've watched videos of him on youtube, and I'm sold - I think he's great. Plus his playing with Dark Suns was impressive as well - I'm a definitely a fan now. Also, has anyone heard Dial? I read that's what Kristoffer is up to these days.

I have the Dial CD. It's pretty great, but it's not what you'd expect. http://www.myspace.com/thebanddial

Correct about the manslaves - and you're first on my list, Islands. I'm coming for you

I don't even play bass.

Manslave to a girl like you would not be the worst fate in the world. I don't do dishes though.

...fair enough, but you sure you're not just trying too hard to be "crazy and original" for the sake of it?

Nah actually, some pretty cool stuff there.

Listen to the clip posted there for the quarter tones. See what you think...

At least they are trying to do something original. As opposed to other bands who "go back to their roots" aka: "lets make an album that sounds like our old stuff to appease long time fans"

I expected more after reading that writeup. Samples sound like cross between Meshuggah and some typical 90s nu metal, with atonal solos thrown in (maybe they would work better with something other than generic metal riffs).

It definitely sounded more influenced by traditional Indian music. The use of microtones is definitely something you dont hear in metal.

Needless to say, I dig M.A.N's music. It's fun to listen to and from the sound of things it's becoming more and more complex with each release.

Fix'd. You know it to be true!! You play a little guitar, yes? Or am I mistaken? Doesn't matter, I'd take all kinds. I want to get in on Dial. Thanks for the link - you're the person to ask about music, afterall

^^ That's pretty cool actually. I dig it, the video was pretty creepy though, I must say So much djenting! =D

You fail at quoting. And you win at insulting yourself(?).

Correct

Score!
I don't suppose he convinced anyone to play a guitar with a bow though. Maybe next time. I've only heard a couple songs so far, but I do like them a lot. I didn't know Kristoffer could sing! I just thought he was bass, but I watched some videos on youtube and there he is.... singing. I love it. Hello is a neato song, that one's won me over.

Anyways, yes I like the album. Thank you.

Lots of comments on the Nibz vid about Dev's junk.

bleh same shit

Huh. Mustis and Vortex were fired from Dimmu Borgir. By SMS.

Well, there goes THAT band. No reason to listen to them now....

I read this yesterday and it really bugged me for a few. They lost their keyboardist and their clean singer. And not to mention how fucking awesome Vortex's clean vocals were, but that is a major hit to the band.

Maybe Vortex will go back to Borknagar though?!

Wow, that's a bit of a stupid move. Mustis and Vortex were awesome and probably the key reasons why Dimmu aren't just unoriginal shite, in my opinion. So now Hestnaes is bandless, seeing as he never did anything after supposedly agreeing to work with Code and Arcturus are long gone as well. Looking forward to his one track on Universal but I can't really see Borknagar replacing Vintersorg. I hope he finds summat soon. He's one of the best singers in metal and a personal favourite of mine.

+1

Although, I only really cared about Vortex...
Mustis was a perfectly cool member, but talentwise, Vortex just stood out so much, in the band and in metal altogether. Amazing singer.
