How did Angela look in person? How big is that place?
She has better death vox than many men, I like this trend of having Dark Divas.

Sorry, know nothing of Sinister, what should we be aware of?

I found a really reasonable mail order CD place if anyone is interested. They specialize in Doom, Death, Black, and Ambiant Metal.

We need your impressions on those after you give a listen. I have had the Arch Enemy for a while now, solid CD with no real weakness I can find. Hard to find Cds like that in used CD shop.

I just picked up that Immortal and really likle it! From what I read their previous Cds would not appeal to me, but SoND has just the right blend of aggression/melody for my tastes, one of my picks for 5 best of 2002.

Sons of Northern Darkness overall I think it's a great album. Definately black metal, but of the newer veine(some melody and good production). I definately agree with DarkAngel on this one. Describing it as some what melodic black metal with crushing, but somewhat easy to digest riffs would be accurate.

Stigmata is definately one of the better Arch Enemy cd's. Personally I prefer it over Wages of Sin. The guitar work just is insane. Lots of dueling guitars, good melody, but still crushingly heavy.

Emperor Wrath of the Tyrants as I'm sure most of you know is of the purest black metal form. The production is horrible( it gets even worst after the first 4 songs) this is the way it really should be though so no quoms here. Keyboards are used very sparingly so don't expect much melody on this one. Personaly I'm really enjoying this CD as well, but if your not into the older scene black metal I would pass on this one. Try Anthems to the Welkins at Dusk for the more melodic side of Emperor.


Impressions on the rest coming tomorrow...

Lamours is a small club with 2 stages one in the front of the club and another rom in the back with the second stage.... its very intimate..... you can practically reach out and touch the bands....
she was great... very energetic.... her vocals are impressive and (to me) fit right in with the instruments....

here is the band SINISTER..... singers name is Rachel (ex OCCuLT vocalist)

their a great band on the lines of Cannibal Corpse, in the death metal realm.......... check them out at:http://sinister.wingsofdeath.nu/

That is the route I went, I have Emperor:
-nightside eclipse
-anthems to welkin at dusk

 

[BaronJack]

Traded in some crappy nu-metal cd's I had sitting in a box in my closet, and picked up emperor IX equilibrium, and Tidfall Instinct Gate. A good trade if you ask me

 

[KR...]

I for one, hail you BaronJack!

What are your favorite BM bands?

 

[BaronJack]

Current favorites KR... would have to be Ulver, Emperor, Mayhem, older Burzum, and Mysticum.

My latest End order came in today.

Dimmu Borgir- Enthrone Darkness Triumphmant. This could almost edge out COF C&B. This is better than PEM.

Moonspell- Wolfheart. Not bad, I think I may end up liking this one.

Eternal Gray- Kindless. Haven't had a chance to listen yet.

Sentenced- Frozen. I haven't had a chance to hear more than track one. I like Sentenced so I'm sure this will be good.

I recently got Opera IX- Maleventum. DarkAngel said their other album is better. I must get it as soon as I remember the name of it. I really like Maleventum.

Keep the news coming. a couple comments here.
Dimmu EDT is better than PEM, it is without question one of the greatest melodic dark metal albums ever made. Listen to the song "entrance" and be amazed, this is Dimmu at its best.

Opera IX best CD is "black opera" which is last Cd featuring Cadaveria, very worthy and better than Maleventum.

I have another CD you will really like:
Immortal - Sons of Northern Darkness.....very very worthy
