On an unrelated note; MsSvartmetall, would you mind taking a look at the Lyrical Feedback thread? I posted something mine there, and I'd like to know your thoughts on it. I don't like spamming my stuff, but what the hell

I checked it out and posted what I thought about it.

Jejeje!!! Unfortunately or not (for you) I dislike Manowar!!!

How can someone dislike Manowar ? :O

Thank you

Edit: How can someone dislike Manowar? Well, they're EXTREMELY pompous, to the point that they become overwhelming. I mean, yeah, I like cheese as much as the next guy, but only if it's in a sandwich accompanied with meat and other stuff. Too much cheese alone will cause me an indigestion. So yeah, I'm with XJuliusX on this one

Well, I think they are very cute :3

I don't know how to answer to that

Hahaha, I know, it was a weird thing to say xD

Pretty much

We should stop derailing the thread, don't you think? It's not that I want to cut the conversation but, you know... THE MODS...

Yeah, that would probably be smart xD

Aren't you proud...

She said in another post that she's trying to quit, man. Don't be so condescending. It's uncalled for.

Actually, I'm not proud at all.

HI all newbs before this post.
HI all newbs after this post.

Hello. My name is Poe ohlin. I joined the forums today. Some of my activities have been creating some threads, submitting a review, and editing out my collection on the main site. I hope I'm welcomed here with sickles and dead rodents ^^.

Welcome!

Why thank you for the welcome ^^.

About your sig, Poe Ohlin... it's not wholly accurate:

thanks, broskie.

yo dawgs, Im Schaus2, a hardcore wigger from the br00tal streets of Canada (eh). im a film student at Niagara college. im a huge fuckin nerd. I dig metal, horror movies, video gaming, and other shit.

Im mostly here because all my roommates listen to Dubstep, and it drives me fucking insane, I need somewhere where I can talk about metal, and AllMetalForums has basically gone down the shitter.

So gents, lets talk about metal shall we????????

Yes, and as such I bid thee welcome with an Overkill song:

HELLO!

Hello all.
As you can probably tell by my monicker, I am a prog-man. However, I can, at the very least, appreciate a little bit of everything. I am of the opinion that every genre of music has its share of both garbage and gems, so I can never dismiss an artist/style outright without giving them a fair shot first. That's probably the primary reason I created an account here, to get more music. I can always use a bit more metal in my rotation.

Hey guys.
Name's Eric, 17, from the US. I'm a long time lurker and basically a first time poster. I love all types of metal, though I can't say I'm a big fan of Black, Drone or Groove. I'm mainly a thrasher and a prog/experimental guy.

Instead of assaulting you with a gigantic list of my favorite bands, I'll just leave a link to my last.fm here. Forgive the terrible username, but I never imagined I'd actually use it much.

I'm also a huge movie fan. And I'm terrible at introductions.

A thrasher/prog fan? Awesome. I'll friend request you on Last.fm if that's ok.

'Course it's okay. Always nice to meet another thrash/prog fan!

Welcome, Sound Chaser! I am a fresh face around here as well but I've already discovered many metal gems in my time on this forum. Hopefully you will too. What types of metal are you into?

I've been lurking for a couple of months but just decided to join, mainly because the songwriting contest threads interested me. I play guitar and have some not-completely-terrible recording equipment. My taste in metal is fairly predictable I suppose. I like classic/thrash/death bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Death, Heartwork-era Carcass, Kreator and Sodom. Being fairly young (Late teens) I also like quite a few bands that would probably get me skewered alive on here but are pretty popular in my peer group like Periphery, Vildhjarta, TesseracT and Animals as Leaders. I also have a couple of Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage albums from when I was first getting into metal back in secondary school, though listening back to them now they sound pretty dull. I'm thinking I should probably stay far, far away from discussion of anything '-core' or 'djent'...

The only really ultra-obscure metal stuff I have is a couple of EP's by a local Iron Maiden-esque band formed by some friends which broke up a few years ago now. It verges more towards the rock end of things though, and the second EP has nu-metal elements, so I don't think it would be suitable for the archive. I look forward to discovering new bands and discussing with people.

Welcome Xan! Allow me to greet you with a little song here:

The Japanese brutal melodeath of Intestine Baalism! Hope you enjoy them!

Animals as Leaders are awesome, but the other 3 bands can suck my left nut. Welcome aboard to the board.

Nah man, those are actually some interesting Djenty bands is you give them a chance, if you like AAL, Periphery has an instrumental version of their album you may like, they sound a lot better without vocals.

Also, Welcome newbies!

I have given the other 3 bands a chance (quite a big one) and yes, Periphery are much better without vocals, but that's it.

I've been lurking the site since 2005, but I never thought about posting on the forum until now. My name is BreadGod. ("In" is simply a relic of when I first tried to apply for membership.) I'm 21 and I've been listening to metal since I was 13. My main areas of study are death metal and black metal, but I also love me some Touhou music. I also operate a metal review blog called The Autistic Metalhead. I'm not going to bore you with a list of my favorite bands, so here's a link to my Last.fm profile instead.

Hi. As you can see, I've had a few posts already, and I have already made some dumbass mistakes on this forum. Sorry about that. But anyway, I am a young, rather odd kid who loves all types of metal, but I tend to lean toward the doom/prog genres. My favorite bands in metal are Dream Theater (who would've guessed!), Electric Wizard, The Melvins, Isis, Sleep, etc., but I also like plenty outside of metal like Tool, Nirvana, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, etc. I've done a few (rather mediocre) reviews here too, but I never explored the forum until a few weeks ago. I also enjoy writing short stories, even if I'm not particularly good at it, but I try to improve my writing. Hopefully I didn't bore you too much with this post!

Thank you for the welcome.
I'm very much into prog-metal and its sub-genres as you could probably guess, my favorites being Dream Theater and Opeth. However, I'm also into some avant-garde acts (I love Unexpect and Sigh,) a bit of the more melodic sludge, thrash, and of course some old-school heavy metal. I also like some groove metal, and a little bit of death metal.

Ah, the obligatory "HAI I'M NEW!" thread. I feel at home already!


I've been utilizing the Archives for awhile now for my work as an editorial/review writer at another site (which I will not plug. I have some shame.) and figured it was about time to see what else this site had to offer beyond information. This place seems pretty chill, but appearances are most often a deception.

As far as metal goes, I like anything that conveys a sense of epicness that I cannot really describe without making a fool of myself (trust me, I've tried). It may help to know some of my favorites;

Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad
Iron Maiden
Metallica (mostly nostalgia, and a warm place in my heart for being my first metal experience)
Mastodon
Mayhem
Opeth
Symphony X
Meshuggah
(Early-Mid)In Flames
Cradle Of Filth
Nile
Immolation

And that list goes on and on and on. I also am the most amateur of amateur musicians, I basically fiddle-fuck with guitar and bass and am waiting for the stars to align proper to begin dedicating myself in more professional manner to drumming. I'm basically an all-around decent dude just looking for some decent conversation, new music and hopefully a few laughs along the way.


Hi.

Just discovered this site. Fuck yeah.

I'm not really new to MA, but I've only posted a few times on the forum, so I guess I'm a newbie there. I've written a handful of album reviews over the past few years (of varying quality; I'm probably proudest of my Diabolical Masquerade 'Nightwork' review), and intend to write more (eventually). This has been a very valuable resource to me in my perennial quest for more metal, and it appears to be the 'home' of many intelligent and often funny people, so I think I'll stick around. In closing: hello please.
