slated to be a decline of western civilization thing [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] stylistically [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] part 2 of the DT reality TV show [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vaDfcKzLbY[/media]

1998 Power Metal made by Mikael Åkerfeldt and Dan Swanö. With Swanö on vocals. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Q-QtuaynA[/media] And for shits, some Candlemass, for some reason I fucking love the riff, and otherwise find this song absolutely hilarious. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8th_3AoTm_E[/media]

Hey don't diss the Black Dwarf. That's a fucking bad-ass song. I love Black Dwarf. The lyrics are amazing, just like all of Candlemass's later lyrics. I mean, just look at the lyrics for "If I Ever Die" [quote]If I ever die, I'm begging you, please come with me We're gonna groove, into the blue All the parasites, oh just leave them, pigs can't fly There's no tomorrow, no regrets, no goodbyes I will fly, into the sunset, way up high Don't be sorry, nothing good I leave behind You don't worry, evil lasts a 1000 lifetimes It won't happen to me I'm immortal, I cannot die Rivers will dry Pillars will break Hell feels like ice The mountains will shake If I ever die The stars will drop from the sky The gods will mourn me and cry If I ever die If I ever die If I ever die I wanna know when and why[/quote] WE'RE GONNA GROOVE, INTO THE BLUE! ALL THE PARASITES, OH JUST LEAVE THEM, PIG'S CAN'T FLY!

Believe me, I ain't dissin' on Black Dwarf. But you have to admit the song name is chuckle worthy, and I swear to you when he sings "Controlling the Masses" I don't hear the pronunciation of "con" very clearly so it sounds as if he were saying "Trolling the Masses"

I would love the song ten times over. :buddy:

Seen em live twice :smug: Need more of their albums, I only have Ouroboros and Vulgar

[QUOTE=bobste;29475985]what are their concerts like?

They're a great live band but yeah I have to agree. Same is true for a lot of Japanese bands though which is a shame

Who wants some old metal with Dan Swanö and Dread Axelsson? I do! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le-oWMe0ZbA[/media] Such a shame they split. Had some great potential.

dir en grey owned as a visual kei band. i mean I don't care for visual kei but I really liked those first three albums

[QUOTE=bobste;29479283]dir en grey owned as a visual kei band. i mean I don't care for visual kei but I really liked those first three albums[/QUOTE] x japan = good visual kei late era x japan = shitty ballads and bad visual kei dir en grey = late era x japan [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] Good visual kei died in the mid 90s. it was originally to scare people and be unique when now it's an accepted culture and done for the sake of just being fashionable. visual kei is as dead as hair metal

What would you describe Dragonforce as? I'm thinking light power metal [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] Maybe light Electronic power metal

sub-sub-genres are for nerds

[QUOTE=ksenior;29480742]What would you describe Dragonforce as? I'm thinking light power metal [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] Maybe light Electronic power metal[/QUOTE] Dave Mackintosh once said they were Extreme Power Metal v:v:v

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6TLYUP8A6E[/media] Holy fuck yes

[QUOTE=ksenior;29480742]What would you describe Dragonforce as? I'm thinking light power metal [editline]28th April 2011[/editline] Maybe light Electronic power metal[/QUOTE] Personally I'd describe them as fucking shit but that's just me.

Their music's p enjoyable but not to listen to properly since it takes the phrase "it all sounds the same" to a whole new level

Rammstein, anybody?
