I'd say something about not being that far off from that anyway, but I'd rather contemplate the image of melting at middle age; much more fun than what they did in 'Logan's Run'.

Ah, had I only bothered to specify 'degrees'. Though, I complain about the weather too much; this way at least it might be of some amusement...

Hmmm. Still too damn hot. Last comment about temperatures for a while, I promise.

Haha, I didn't bother to check the music out. They popped up on the MA main page under updates, so I decided to see for myself coz I was thinking..."oh hmm, dawn of dementia...*clicks*"

I listened to this just now though. Hmm. I am confused.

The frontman is more like a rapper than a metalhead/metaller.

What a terrible thing though. RIP.

Tragic, but god damn those kids were retarded.

Killing someone would probably be necessary though. I doubt his own skin will suffice for the operation.

His?

Inhumanist, Calusari is a woman.

About that girl who accidentally killed her brother; I know that it's tragic, and surely a terrible loss for that family..... But damn, that's natural selection at work right fucking there.

Haha, I just noticed Napero's comment about the "temperature". Classic. But come on Nap, be a gentleman to the lady will you.

In my defense, MA is mostly a sausage fest. I'm just operating on likely premises.

I read it more as inhumanist assuming the person calusari would kill would be male, and she would use his skin to enlarge her breasts to ridiculous proportions. It was more amusing that way.

That's what I was talking about, only with more man-tits.

That's really the wurst way to look at it.

BOOO! HISS!

Haha, I'm going to derail this train a bit by bringing your attention to yet another supergroup that's being formed.



Dates mentioned here.

Oh, I have no doubt, as I said, it's irrational knee-jerk reactionary BS. On the plus note, it appears that thread got deleted. Good for the NWN mods.

Eh? They already could, but assuming your date of birth isn't public information, all you have to do is contact us and we'd remove it and put a warning on the page, which we've done a few times with no issues.


Whaaaa...? You really think customs officers are gonna Google your name when you're touring and look you up on this site? I mean... really? And identity theft, um.... no. I'm sorry, but you are barking at the wrong tree and clearly haven't thought this through. (Again, not to mention, if you didn't plaster this date of birth in public interviews and your public band sites, we'll gladly remove it, all you have to do is ask... -_-)

I have heard a few people complain about this before - when a few guys show up in the US on travel visas (not work visas) and they have instruments with them, customs officers look into it, often simply searching for their names, finding a band name, then searching for tour dates for the band. It's entirely the fault of the people who didn't acquire the proper work visas, but they don't want to accept blame so they bitch about the biggest site that documents this information.

I know for sure customs officials Google band names at least sometimes, since I've had one tell me so in person. I was coming back into the US after KIT 2012 and the customs guy at the desk, probably noticing my long hair and band shirt, randomly asked me if I had heard of Accept. Apparently one of their members had just come through earlier that day, and he told me he had Googled a bit about them at the time. He seemed more curious than accusatory, and I can't say whether customs officials do this routinely when people claim to be in a band, but it's quite possible they regularly do a cursory search considering it would be quite easy to verify whether a given band is on tour during the given dates.

Oh dip!

was shown this today, thought it was amusing

Holy shit, that was kinda awesome. Love the small, midget robot dry-humping the hi-hat

Corrections House... What's next? International House of Pancakes?

I know for sure the google thing happens at some customs checkpoints if they are suspicious about you carrying merch and instruments through. It may be "the bands fault", but do you have any idea how expensive the correct paperwork is? About 5 grand per person - way out of reach of underground bands finances.

about 2 years ago I asked for it to be taken down and all I got was patronising responses about this being an encyclopedia and stuff in the public domain. If this has changed now, that's great and I will be in touch.

While I can't stand new In Flames, I've been spinning their older stuff like The Jester Race, does anyone know if they still play their older stuff like that album live?
I think I'd be able to cope seeing them play their newer, shitfest stuff if I could hear them play their a fair portion of their older works.

I saw them about five years ago, and the only pre-Clayman track they played was Morphing into Primal. And the only song from whichever album was after that (totally drawing a blank right now) was Cloud Connected. Otherwise? Entirely new stuff.

Never been really into In Flames. I used to enjoy Whoracle, but it kinda lost its appeal with time, and now I find them to be infinitely bland from the beginning to the end, with the difference that their newer stuff is not only bland, but also intellectually dishonest and offensive.

http://www.setlist.fm/setlists/in-flames-43d6837f.html

If they would play the whole The Jester Race album as a special tour, I would go...

xlxlx, "offensive"? What? That's a bit too much. Don't give them too much credit.

Maybe, but I find their blatant musical dishonesty to be particularly distasteful. I don't often get to that point with most bands that are accused of "selling out", but Fridén and his troop of hacks step seriously out of line. Just my personal thoughts 'toine.

Nope, you're lucky if you get more than one song from before RTR. They seem to be changing up between one from Whoracle/Colony/Clayman, but their setlists are almost entirely newer crap. They never really played much of TJR live though, I saw them a long time ago when they played a dozen pre-Reroute songs, half of them from the first three, but the only TJR song they played was Moonshield, which was cut a bit short as they started after the acoustic intro.

I dunno, dishonesty never really seemed like a part of it. That would be if they kept making TJR over and over. What they do now is much worse than being dishonest. Though to be fair I haven't heard their last album.

Not gonna lie guys, I kinda liked Come Clarity. Thought the first half was pretty damn solid, plus the track they did with that girl, "Dead End" methinks, was excellent.

But, for the most part, I think I only really liked it because I was desperately trying to rekindle my youthful love of the band!

You aren't missing on anything, Emp. Anything, I tell ya. You should spend your time listening to A Sound of Thunder's Out of the Darkness instead!

Let me see if I get this right, because I'm confused about this part.
So worst case scenario is that they're suspicious, Google the musician, and may see evidence that he's actually really in a band and his carrying of instrument adds up... and this is a problem because the musician in question is lying about being a musician and lying about his reasons for getting in the country, he's pretending to not be a musician? Nevermind that he's carrying merchandise and instruments in the first place? >_< And of course lying to customs officers, but somehow we're the problem because... we just copied the information from the band's Facebook which the same Googling would have revealed anyway.


So their solution is to pretend to not be a musician in order to avoid dealing with the paperwork and take huge risks by crossing a border carrying merch and instruments and saying "nuh uh I'm not on tour"? Is that about right?


I found the thread in question, and the only moderator who answered your thread (i.e. the only person whose opinion mattered) was Derigin, and his response was thoughtful, detailed, thorough (as they always are... overly so xD) and certainly not patronizing. You didn't respond to his post or address anything he said, but I should tell you, the policy has not changed since then. If your DOB is not public information and was put on here by an acquaintance of yours without your permission, we'll gladly remove it and prevent others from entering it. If you plastered it on your public Facebook page and someone simply lifted it from there, then you really have only yourself to blame, I'm afraid.

Edit: oh, I didn't see your PM before sending this, sorry. I'll check this out. And yeah probably best if we continue this discussion in PM.

Really been enjoying Profetus recently. Glad to say that their sophomore, ...to Open the Passages in Dusk, is pretty much right up to par with Coronation of the Black Sun, and anyone here that enjoys Mournful Congregation or Skepticism should definitely take a moment to check these Finns out. Beautiful stuff! :

Random pain all over my body and a pounding headache right now. Been having these symptoms every night for the past few weeks. Anyone have any clue what it could be? I can't wait to go back to Canada and use my free healthcare to find out what's going on.

I'm only asking because right now I have no way to contact a medical professional. Also, yes, I smoke.

What kind of pain is it?

I still like the track ”Reflect the Storm”. I listen to it every now and then, reminds me of my junior year in highschool. Pretty catchy song and I love the solo. I've always loathed everything else on that album though.

Finally got my ticket to the Marduk/Portal/Ignivomous/Order of Orias show next week, and heard Portal will be offloading a lot of old merch at their gig.


Oh, wow. I knew that the Deep Ones of Y'ha-nthlei know of unimaginable eldritch terrors, but I never considered that those would include puns of such soul-scorching horror.
@inhumanist: Yeah, it is actually a pretty reasonable assumption, going by the statistics of people on this board; it pops up every now and then.
@Necro: I can see great potential for a Troma film in your mental image there... or maybe an indie short for the next Masters of Horror series. I already have a trailer in mind; it kinda writes itself. Hehehe. One day, one day.

Come Clarity was the first In Flames album I ever heard. As shitty as they've become nowadays, many of those songs still are special for me.
