That explains why I think it sounds fine. I don't get brightness. I mean it doesn't get in becuase I have upper frequency hearing loss.

But that won't stop me from picking something out of the bin of a store. Cause that's not "ordering"!
Came home with ARCH ENEMY-'Anthems Of Rebellion' (vinyl)
Ohh...do I like this! Liked it right away, loved it by track two 'We Will Rise'.
Angela is sweet.
Also saw and was tempted by vinyl picture discs of:
Sabbath's 1st LP
Mayhem's 'Chimera'
Cradle Of Filth's 'The Principle of Evil Made Flesh'
Also tempted by a Venom-'Welcome To Hell' vinyl (not pic/disc).
I don't know about the quality of pic/discs though so didn't get any.
Edit:correction: I think it was Mayhem's 'Grand declaration of War' not 'chimera'.

There is a video for that song they play on FUSE Uranium show where Angela is leading a pack of rebels carrying banner, Angela Gassow is very cool and we have been talking about her ever since she debut's in AE "wages of sin" which is even better album with better vocals by Angela. Easily best female death vocal I have heard and gives many men a run for the money
We have already discussed how cool picture vinyl is.......and COF has some of the coolest ever made. Also Black Sabbath 1 looks too cool for words to describe (glad I don't have turntable now, my wallet would be sick)
On my travels I came across news of the re-release of Dimmu Borgir's 'SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIONS' as well as the re-release of In Flames' 'COLONY' both on July 19th.
They appear to have the same "Deluxe" treatment that my recent EDT had:
- Photogallery
- Lyrics
- Screensaver
- Wallpaper
- Winamp skins
But more importantly there is no mention of remastering, but there is an extra song.
SBD-#10-Masses For The New Messiah
Colony-#12-Man Made God

Also anyone wanna pick anything good for me from page 1 or page 2 from theend's vinyl section?
OK, interesting that CDs and Vinyl are about the same price at The End. I would get in no particualr order:
After Forever - Decipher
Bathory - Norland I & II (final album, RIP)
Borknagar s/t
Edge of Sanity - Spectral + Purgatory
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
Ragnarock - In Nomine Satanas V (have not heard this, but have CD before and after it which are very good)
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness
Old Man's Child - Historical Box Set (I have all CDs and they are good)
Setherial - Endtime Divine (picture vinyl!)
Lacuna Coil - Comalies. The only song from that album I have heard is Swamped. I don't much care for that song. It is too slow, and just not my style. I am wondering if all the songs on this album are of similar tempo, or is that the slowest song there? The new music and video store in town has the Ozzfest edition of Comalies, so I have been considering picking it up. If all the music is similar to Swamped, I am not interested.
eyeteeth, Old Mans Child is a great band. I have most of those albums on CD and I like all of them.

1 - Edge of Sanity - Purgatory Afterglow & The Spectral Sorrows (very good-must have at least one : 9 out of 10, on my scale)
2 - Katatonia - Viva Emptiness (worth having - "easy" listening - prog. death metal, more prog. than death)
3 - After Forever - Decipher (worth having - "easy" listening - similar to Nigthwish, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil - but a little more complex IMO)
4 - My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness (although I don't think of it as being as good as their best works-Swans,Angel,The Light...)
Hey all!
The Crown have a release date for Crowned Unholy.
Here is a tidbit from Metal Blade records Quote:
Here’s some more info about the Crowned Unholy release by THE CROWN – to hit the market on August 10th! Read carefully
As you know by now, Crowned Unholy is a remake of the bands fifth album Crowned In Terror with re-recorded vocal tracks by Johan, re-recorded bass tracks by Magnus, a new version of the intro (originally written by Marko, now programmed by Janne), drum sound digitally enhanced by Janne, and cool synthesizer-spiced parts here and there, all programmed by Janne.
Crowned Unholy will be released with a free bonus DVD entitled THE CROWN INVADES KARLSRUHE. The bonus DVD is a full live show filmed professionally on their last tour when The Crown played Karlsruhe, Germany on the 24th of November 2003. Here you have the track list of that particular show:
1. No Tomorrow
2. Face of destruction/Deep hit of death
3. Deathexplosion
4. World below
5. Deliverance
6. Blitzkrieg Witchcraft
7. Cold is the grave
8. Zombiefied
9. Dream bloody hell / Kill `em all
10. Under the whip
11. Bow to none
12. Total Satan
13. House of Hades / Crowned in terror
14. 1999-Revolution 666

That is an interesting concept. I don't know The Crown but as I liked hearing alternative tracks of favorite songs, I have thought "I wish they would re-record the whole thing again" regarding favorite older CDs. Not re-record just for the improved sound quality but for a different interpretation. I like live off the floor recordings from radio studios (not suck-ass unplugged ones). But somethimes it backfires: Celtic Frost's remake of 'Circle of the tyrants' on the re-issued 'To Mega Therion' is definitely missing something from the original version (I only have an mp3 version of the original).
I take a chance on a re-intepreted 'Blackwater park' or 'beyond the veil' for example.
The End better have new albums by: Ancient
Nightwish
in stock this week or I will just purchase them from CD Universe. Steady price increases last few years to $13 per CD has me looking around for altrenative sources.....price for new Ancient only $8.39: Ancient
1. How to pronounce "Opeth." I've been saying it with a hard o, ohp-eth, but I'ce been wondering if it should be a soft o, ahp-eth.
2. Just what is the joke about about not wearing an Opeth shirt to an Opeth concert. I remember in a prior Darkest thread that (I think) Dark Angel saying that you don't want to be that guy.
Arrgh, not another "how to spell" thread. We had a long discussion about how Opeth and Dimmu Borgir should be spelled. You can find it by scrolling a few pages backwards. As a short summary : It's with a hard O.
That second question.. I would like to hear the answer as well

You can wear a rare or "vintage" Opeth t-shirt to show you have been fan for long time that is OK.....but only a noob would wear new Opeth t-shirt to concert. I think if you are attending an Opeth concert it is assumed you are an Opeth fan, Opeth t-shirt is not going to impress anyone.
Same thing like going to NY Yankees ball game and wearing NY Yankees ball cap, duhhhhh. People do it all the time, but you don't want to be one of those mindless sheep do you?
