Sounds like the reviewer has a childhood trauma involving priests...
..altoughhhh there is a certain truth in that black metal used to be about anything but servitude and certain bands have taken the whole theistic aspect of Satanism a bit far in my opinion. I mean, you can scream really loud, wear scary face paint and play at 220bpm but basically you're still playing worship music. And worship, the act itself, involves servitute to a greater power. Submission. A quote from that review:
"Theism has no place in black metal, and theistic bands cannot be called black metal no matter how much they try to emulate the aesthetics of black metal."
I wouldn't go as far and say DsO are a Christian band, but I can understand the knuckle-dragging purist who points and shouts "vntrve". :wink_face:
EDIT: Not that the word untrue means anything ofcourse. Great music is still great music, whatever the philosophy behind it. But you know, the devil's advocate and all...
Bare in mind that most if not all Western civilization is rooted in Judeo-Christian values whether you are religious or not, that's just historical fact.
(I had an excellent Western Lit teacher in college)
Literature, art, music, you name it - all have been high influenced by the Bible.
DsO is no different in that respect.
But that review completely missed the point of the ENTIRE ALBUM and its MESSAGE. I think its outrageously hilarious.
And that Carach Angren review is also pretty darn funny too now that I read it again....
NOTE: Negakinu, Altar of Plagues' Mammal came on in the vehicle....man that's a great album....you were so right...
Two pretty awesome videos from Origin. the interview in particular is pretty cool, love hearing from extreme metal musicians. the live video is cool too just to see how ridiculous their parts are while playing them
Edit: haha a hot french girl singing a Sybreed song for the french version of Got Talent!
The new All That Remains wasn't all that bad. They definitely took a turn towards alternative rock, but I listen to genres other than metal so it wasn't a big deal for me. I do prefer the previous albums, though.
Check out these tracks from the new Herder EP with my friend Ché (ex- Born From Pain, Arma Gathas) on vocals. Excellent sludgy doom from The Netherlands.

i'm even generally a fan of "metal core" but i've never been able to get into converge. this album is winning top 3 of the year on every list out there, maybe i'll get into it more than their other stuff....either way another great review!
Help me find some technical death metal / metalcore / deathcore?
Something along the lines of Arise In Stability, Within The Ruins, War Within A Harlots Mouth, Born Of Osiris
there are so many more...straight line stitch, acacia strain, job for a cowboy, impending doom, black dahlia murder, etc, etc.
i'd say that "deathcore" is the fastest growing segment of metal (in north america at least)

I'm already familiar with Suicide Silence, White Chapel, and Job For A Cowboy. Heard of the Faceless and Crytopsy, but just getting around to listen to them. Good stuff.
Spawn Of Possession was an interesting band. Thanks for that.
I just found this band as I was clicking on stuff - Hideous Divinity
So nice to see an album like this get more exposure here. I need to get it out and play it more. Thank-you for reminding me. It seems either people love em or hate em. I love em!
