I would say at least a third of my music isn't in English, and in a way I prefer it that way. If the end of Arcturus' song Kinetic was in Norwegian like some of their earlier stuff, I'd appreciate it as a neat piano outro with Garm's great singing. As is, "via wormholes.... wormholes...

Hellhammer. No contest--just listen to that instrumental part in the middle of Arcturus' Hibernation Sickness Complete, or that Mayhem album A Grand Declaration Of War in its entirety. Trym from Emperor is also pretty good. Few others can make 99% blastbeating not get old.

I'm starting to really hate Candlelight. They've always kind of mastered things loudly, and lately even more so (like with Starkweather's Croatoan), but I bought the new Enslaved CD Ruun and it just sounds like complete ****. You can hear the static crackling on every track thanks to the blatant...

I've not liked any black metal remasters better, though in all but one there's not much of a difference. Comparisons: Arcturus' Aspera Hiems Symfonia: This is the only one where there is DEFINITELY a difference, the sound is very thick (too thick, I thought) compared to the very thin...

Emperor's Prometheus might be up your alley, they were straight up black metal until that but it's a prog-black/death album and I love it. The Tongue of Fire and The Prophet are particularly great songs, and only the first is a bit iffy. Ihsahn's scream isn't as convincing as it was on their...

Start --> Run --> regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SYSTEM --> CurrentControlSet --> Services --> Cdrom Double click the autorun entry, change its value from 1 to 0. Then just exit the registry editor and restart (not sure if you have to, but it's a good idea just in case). I love you too...

I'd be up for it, so you guys should definitely keep your calenders free.

Emperor - Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire and Demise Pretty good stuff, eight of the nine tracks have parts ranging from okay to very good with most things falling closer to very good. It's like prog black metal, and both Ihsahn's singing and shrieking sound great. The other track, The...

Hot.

would like to stick to rock/prog rock/alt rock to start out. Give Pain of Salvation's The Perfect Element a shot if you can get over their name, they're prog-metal but not particularly intense or fast or screamy or anything so it shouldn't be too unapproachable. TPE has one or two weak...

It probably won't, most of their last few albums have changed things up quite a bit within their given style. Like Jelena and Monsters were really different, and Rollercoaster and Amity--they're pretty good at keeping things fresh.
