I was listening to Legion and their s/t album the other day - I had forgotten how awesome those albums were. Once Upon the Cross was good, but it sounded like they were trying to hard to be anti-christian and shit. I read an interview a while ago from Glen Benton where even he said that he would have people going up to him and shouting "Yeah man, kill the Christians! When Satan rules his world!" and shit and Benton would just want to tell them to grow up.
Hehehe. Thats my only problem with them. Theyre a top ten favorite band of mine nowadays, but I feel that they kinda beat the whole "anti-Christian" schtick to death. Not very original in that respect, but I still like em On another note, Ive been losing touch with the black metal scene. I was big on BM back in April and May but I sorta drifted away from it. So if anybodys got some sweet recommendations Id appreciate it :beer: I prefer the brutal, war themed sound of bands like 1349, Marduk, and Keep Of Kalessin, but Im open to anything
Kult Ov Azazel is one big 'ol mess of screams and blast beats that you might enjoy. I'm with you on the whole drifiting thing though - I go through all sorts of spurts where I listen to one genre or sub-genre almost entirely, then take a 180 and get all amped about another type of shit. It keeps things interesting that way. :beer:
For anyone interested, CM Distro is running a $7.00 back to school special on certain titles. Definitely worth checking out. https://www.cmdistro.com/index.aspx?page=promo
Being anti-christian is the metal way..haha. It dates back to Mercyful Fate and Venom..That's never gonna go away. Once upon the cross was written during a time where that type of imagery was a big seller. I do think nowadays the themes should be alot more intellectual and correct than "Kill the christians!!! dead!!!". I myself write alot of lyrics, often of this theme and stuff like old Deicide and Acheron makes me want to cringe. So since this is a "Metal thread"...which of you metal guys play an instrument? I'm pretty desperate to get something metal going(I do vox and alil bass)..and was just curious
Nah, I know that, but I just find some of some of the lyrics to be so cheesy and corny like you said. Like the new Slayer for example RELIGION IS HATE! RELIGION IS FEAR!! RELIGION IS WAR!!! RELIGION STOLE MY CANDY!!!! RELIGION LEFT THE TOILET SEAT UP!!!!! RELIGION DOESNT CLEAN HIS BEDROOM!!!!! Not very original if you see where Im going with this
U R Wrong, Fucked And Over-rated I Think Im Gonna B Sick And Its All Ur Fault This Is The End Of Everything You Are The End Of Everything I Havn't Spelt Since I Woke Up And Found My Whole Life Was A Lie, Muthafucka This Is The End Of Everything You Are The End Of Everything
dam can't post all caps but u get the point. anyone who isn't a regualr contributer to the metal thread, just saying that what most these guys listen is much heavier than my shit
Im learning the guitar but yeah Kerry King is so unoriginal now, Slayer needs to mix it up more their lyrics are getting boring.
Speaking of which, I really need to find a new place to get my shit from. Usually I just go looking through stores near my house, where I find some of the more well known stuff like Cannibal Corpse, etc. Amazon is usually where I turn to when I cant find anything I like at a store near me, but there are certain bands I cant find there either. Nargaroth, Woods Of Ypres, and Drudkh, for example. Anybody have any suggestions where I could turn to for this stuff? A website maybe?
