The wood shell movement is quite awesome. It's too bad that ebony is so bright sounding (well, coming from a guitar standpoint...it balances mahogany pretty well), because that would look killer.

Novembers Doom, Swanö, and Anneke? Damn.

Gilmour's solo there is incredible. His playing on that DVD might be his best, actually.

I'm currently rediscovering Nahemah.  It's like a mixture of black and death metal with post-rock, IMO.  Great stuff.

Can we call that the "Stormtrooper" mod?   BTW, great work all around in this thread!

This is the only picture of mine at the moment:

I second the Katatonia recommendation.  Anything from Last Fair Deal on, but especially that and Viva Emptiness.

Quote: They did play Set The World Afire on That One Night, although I definitely understand your larger point.

Danzig - IV Devin Townsend - Ki Kiss - Double Platinum

Quote: After is actually my least favorite of his solo albums.  Check out AngL - "The Alchemist" and "Malediction" are my favorites.  "Called By The Fire" off of The Adversary is pretty killer as well.  

Apparently the Big Four tour is coming to the US this year.  Woot.

I would like Blackfield 15 times more if Aviv didn't sing or write lyrics, lol.  Sounds better than BFII, though.

And I just remembered Evergrey..."Recreation Day" and "The Inner Circle" are amazing.  Although it's far more streamlined and hook-laden, I really dig "Monday Morning Apocalypse" as well.

Deadwing's one of my favorite albums.  Had front-row, dead center seats to see them at Berklee on that tour...quite, quite expensive, but so worth it.

Oh, Ihsahn's solo stuff is great, too.
