ehhh.. so many genres so many subgenres. You can read debate after debate on sputnik about what band = what. In the end people listen to what they like. Metal is awesome. Period!!! True not all metal is created equally, I enjoy all different types and for different moods/occasions as well. Lately have been listening to more and more black metal and deathcore.

Dimmu Borgir pwns imho.....

Where can they be bought the easiest?

They're available locally at The Drum Shop Manila in Parañaque. I got mine more than a year ago, bought it online.

^ Great! Thanks. These sound like they could be very useful

 

[Fido2]

Yeah man thanks for the tip Azathoth!!

 

[fuseboxx]

oh crap, Ronnie James Dio has stomach cancer...

 

[MaZa]

WHAT!? Oh dear, this isnt good.

 

[Azathoth]

I hope he'll get through it, slay the vile cancer dragon and come back stronger than ever. Look out! \m/

I'm really looking forward to a follow-up to Heaven & Hell's "The Devil You Know". His powerful voice just seems to get better with age.

 

[Fido2]

True Dat! Great album! Get well soon RJD!

 

[acidbasement]

That is bad news. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery!

Seems like it was detected early from what I have read, so he should have a very good chance in beating this. I am not a fan of his, but damn, the man can sing. I hope he gets better soon.

Another band I found lately is Ceremonial Castings. Symphonic blackmetal, some kind of mixture of In Nightside Of Eclipse era Emperor, Limbonic Art and a VERY SLIGHT touch of Principle Of Evil Made Flesh era Cradle Of Filth, the good sides. And add a one helluva singer (in blackmetal standards).

So far I REALLY like this band. You all who are interested in blackmetal should check out their myspace. Where The Witches Waltz is really good song, especially chorus part at half-way of the song with the high screams, deep growls and female choir. Almost goosebump inducing combination.

If you like black metal, check out Darkthrone's album "Goatlord". Most f-ed up black metal album in existence.

Hey, I am a long time blackmetal fan, so Darkthrone is definetly familiar band. Its afterall "an essential".

Though I never got into Goatlord, Transilvanian Hunger and A Blaze In The Northern Sky are on of my top blackmetal albums ever. Actually I think they lost their touch after Transilvanian Hunger, and especially their modern blackened punk/punkened black/What-ever-it-is is very dissapointing.

You might enjoy Peste Noire's album "La Sanie des siècles - Panégyrique de la dégénérescence". It's probably the most creative album in metal from the last 10 years.
