Ooh birthday tomorrow,

got from my sister and her bf a cd tonight!
Lemuria (a local band) named Ales, tale and fire... Will listen to it asap, but it's my favourite underground band here (seen them some times live) so I'm sure it won't disappoint me

Didi, happy belated b-day. How was it?

I found a cd called "Gods of Metal" and will probably buy it during the next week. So many great bands are there. :wink:

*moshes*

And today we had a local festival of Industrial music, with local bands. W :shock:

W, Ive just came, though it's quite late now. But it was really worth of it... Speechless, totally.

*moshing*

My dream came true, the cd is mine now. THough I found out I have bad memory - its name is "Monsters of Metal". :twisted:

Have you seen the DVDs of those particular compilations? :lol:

by **Didi** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 12:34 am

I didn't get an update mail for this

So took me a while to get back here didn't it

Just received my package from PerVertedTaste.de after quite some waiting - the package service couldn't find my home at first so they sent it back to Germany and then it lay there for some weeks too before they re-sent :roll:

Viking axe, v. sword, Moonsorrow shirt, Falkenbach LS, Månegarm shirt, Windir shirt & windir pullover

Should also contain a free cd for which I chose Einherjer - Odin Owns Ye All but seems to be out of stock so now I still have a creditnote from them...

Leaving to Graspop tomorrow --- so if you see anyone with the above, maybe it's me

*now playing* Finntroll - Fiskarens Fiende

P.S. Mono are all those on one cd? :shock:

huge

by **Monoceros** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 10:45 pm

Didi, they are in mp3 format. My aunt sent me cds with all albums of Iced Earth, Therion and Pantera. :cry2:

. Now I have new idol to worship.

by **Filthgrinder** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 3:27 pm

Hope Grasspop was fun Didi! I've heard good reports!

Only a few weeks until Wacken for me :lol:

My current obsession is Taake, anyone into them?

by **Monoceros** » Fri Jul 08, 2005 1:22 am

Uhhh, you're lucky! What is most depressing for me is that I'll miss Dio stop at Moscow in September, as I'm here till the end of the August. :cry2:

by **Didi** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 1:36 pm

It was good

indeed
I should post a review but I'm too lazy, just back from 3 weeks in France, going to take a bath and then a bed...

by **Monoceros** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 4:57 pm

Eru!!! Time to bump this thread again! Where are you, headbangers?

Guess what? I'm now into more black and death, though the priorities are still the same!

Got into Behemoth, Nile, Napalm Death, Benediction, Therion, Meshuggah, etc! :twisted:

How is your activity, btw? Been to any concerts?

by **Didi** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 9:21 am

Hmrrrzzzz bumpetybump...

Guess time for the traditional best-of-2005-lists? :twisted:

by **Monoceros** » Mon Jan 02, 2006 8:06 am

Didi, exactly!

here is mine:

1 Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine
2 Napalm Death - The Code Is Red... Long Live The Code
3 Demons & Wizards - Touched By The Crimson King
4 Nile - Annihilation Of The Wicked
5 Dark Tranquillity - Character
6 Opeth - Ghost Reveries
7 Strapping Young Lad - Alien
8 Behemoth - Slaves Shall Serve (EP)
9 Korn - See You On The Other Side
10 System Of A Down - Mesmerize

The last two strangely were quite nice, though they are not the tye of music I listen to now. :roll:

by **Didi** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 1:17 am

Hmmz not any of these cds I have ever heard

(the names sound familiar but the music not)

I havent bought many 2005-releases, was still mainly collecting older cds that I still missed.
So Im gonna make it a shorter list

1. Moonsorrow - Verisäkeet
2. Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
3. Falkenbach - Heralding-the Fireblade
4. Lemuria - Tales, Ale and Fire

by **Monoceros** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 2:40 pm

Didi, 7 of this bands are death metal. 3rd is thrash power, I think. Others two, I don't think I can classify :roll:

Oh, Eru, how I could forget Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet :oops:

Count it instead of System...

BTW, my list is not in the order of preference. :wink:

by **Didi** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 1:40 am

Yea I know they're death etc...

but I meant I didnt know their actual sound
And about the newest CoB I only heard abd tjhings :shock:

I think on VB it will get voted Wrst cd of the year

by **GlamdringsFire** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 9:45 pm

Well guys... I finally set up port forwarding for DC++ and found that it works about 10,000 times better. I downloaded over 30 albums last night comprised mostly of Ulver, Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, Clutch and Ministry. I'm excited to listen to them.

Also, does anybody have Trilater Progression, the 2005 Neuraxis full-length? Upon my first few listens, I wasn't totally sold. But it's become one of my very top metal releases of 2005 after listening to it more and I've been listening to it on average about three times a day for the past two weeks. It's amazing.

Napalm Death and Opeth released a pair of crackers last year for sure. But KoRn and System of a Down???

by **Monoceros** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 5:20 pm

Hehe, well, I used to listen to KoRn a lot several years ago, and last year's release seemed pretty nice. :wink:

As for SOAD.... cannot really explain... myself

by **Didi** » Thu Jan 26, 2006 3:02 pm

Me doesnt like SOAD either, but I saw them on Graspop this year and that gig was so great!

by **Monoceros** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 2:52 pm

Hmm, new Sepultura album is out! :twisted:

Does anyone have it already?!

Didi, well, they're not bad, but I have heard only several songs from their previous releases...

by **BoM** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 11:43 pm

By the way, the title of this thread needs to be updated quite badly! :shock:

by **Monoceros** » Sat Jan 28, 2006 7:44 am

Yeah! Where is Lysandros btw? Has anyone seen him?

edit:

last time visited 1 Jul 2005!!!!

by **BoM** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 3:29 am

Hmm, well some highlights since the last time I posted in this thread (2004? 2003? :shock:

):

Electric Wizard's We Live, brilliant album from the Wizard with the new, improved line-up, can't wait to see them live;

Been getting in the Melvins a lot recently, the album Lysol is great, also been listening to Thrones, which is Joe Preston's side project;

Obviously not a highlight, but a hugely sad occasion for all of metal, Mieszko Talarczyk's death (R.I.P.)...

Nasum have now split up, which is a real shame, since they were just hitting their peak in my opinion. By way of parting, they released the Grind Finale box set late last year, and I would urge anyone with a love of extreme metal to check it out.

Well, that's me done I guess. And where is Lys? And Moonbiter for that matter?

by **Monoceros** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 11:38 am

Haven't seen them for ages. Seems like they are touring with all the bands around :shock:

by **Monoceros** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 8:47 pm

*BUMP*

I'm starting to feel myself guilty of bumping this thread from time to time

Don't even want to think that metalheads are leaving TORC.

OK. Is anyone still here? I'm in dispair...

by **Bolg** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:52 am

I am a former metal head here, I sort of dropped out of the scene in 1993, I know some of the labels on what was exactly ' metal' may have changed, but I listened to quite a variety of stuff.

Iron Maiden -- Scorpions

Judas Priest -- Sanctuary

Fates Warning -- Voi-Vod

Slayer --Forbidden

Infernal Majesty -- Dio

Megadeth -- Queensryche -- Coroner

Mercyful Fate -- King Diamond -- Cirith Ungol

by **Monoceros** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 5:00 pm

Hey, Bolg! I think I have seen you around the boards, but I'm not really sure.

Btw, are you going to visit fest this summer? I know there is a huge Sounds OF The Underground tour in US. *sigh*

by **Bolg** » Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:24 am

Yeah, I have been around, I pop in here and there but I mostly lurk in Books.
I mainly just keep a casual interest in some of the old bands I used to listen to, I do not even own the CD's anymore, I listen on Napster and MusicMatch now and then.

I have not been to a show for at least 13 years, I think, so I am well out of the loop. My hair is not long enough to be allowed in the doors these days !
