Man you should not recommend an album like The System Has Failed even with a disclaimer if you want to be taken seriously...

Anyone who knows a lot about Therion? I downloaded their top three rym rated albums a while ago, and of those I found Theli > Vovin >> Lemuria - is the Secret of the Runes album more like Vovin or more like Lemuria?

EDIT: "Favre also will have $3.5 million in incentives added to his contract, based on postseason success, the Star Tribune reported, potentially boosting his 2010 salary to $20 million." unholy fucking christ

Just heard maiden came out with a new album called the final frontier. anyone heard it. thoughts?

[btb]

I've listened to it and it's mediocre at best. The only songs that stood out for me were The Talisman and Starblind and even then, they weren't that good. The many long/boring songs ruin the album imo

Another boring album by the progressive direction Iron Maiden.

They're one of the first extreme side bands that kids discover when getting into heavier stuff (majority which sucks, like Slipknot). Cradle of Filth are terrible.

well it IS black metal. ;)

np: Altar of Plagues: Through The Collapse: i) Watchers Restrained

more awesome atmospheric black metal.

just a question, and a huge bump.
were all of you metalheads growing up, or did some of you switch genres?
for me, i was a rapper, but i felt that it wasn't the thing for me. i started to listen to bfmv and a7x and dethklok, and since then i have learned about metal genres and became a metalhead.
\m/

[Nevermore]

I started listening to shitty mainstream metalcore/nu metal then I got introduced to other shit.

Speaking of being introduced to other shit, dl'd Jesu's Silver. Don't know if it's metal enough to warrant discussion here, but I listened to it twice and it's mindblowing.

Bolded = Huh?

Anyway, to answer you question, no. I started off an ignorant, racist, shallow, top 40 trend following kid. I only recently got into metal in summer 2009. I've grown up as a person.

don't try to refer me to the metal archives, i've been there, tried the random band thing, with little success.

Testament is good thrash.

Especially The Legacy, The New Order and Low (though Low seems to be up for debate, I like it).

When I was a kid like 4 or 5 my dad used to come home from work and play all the old classic rock n roll guys like megadeth, cinderella, deep purple, sabbath,hendrix,gensis,ccr etc.
Thats the music I used to listen to till i was like 12. He used to have a huge CD collection that streched over 3 large draws. Everything from the 60s 70s and 80s.
Uriah heep to manfredman, Jethro tull to floyd to yes. So I had heard vast variety of genres as a kid. Then I began listening to other stuff like linkin park and bryan adams. yes I know they suck but something about them, I really liked. I went through a rap phase after and only recently have got into the different genres of metal like black metal, jazz metal, folk metal, progressive metal etc.

And im Loving it...

i started listening to metal when i was 15 or so (2001). Extol: Burial was the first metal i was exposed to, and i was hooked immediately.

that's when Jesu stopped being metal, but not when he stopped being awesome.

get Heart Ache, Jesu and Sun Down / Sun Rise for more awesome.

I got into metal when I was six, my mum's a huge classic/prog rock fan (Iron Maiden, Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis etc) and I was first exposed to Aces High, I was immediately hooked and the entire Live After Death album became a regular in my childhood (and my life since then). For a while Maiden was the only metal band I really listened to, though I did hear AC/DC and Deep Purple quite a lot, but once I got my own iPod (Christmas, I was 11), I started listening to more of what I wanted, than what my parents had on around the house (my dad hates metal so I didn't get to listen to Maiden unless he was out). At this point I discovered Metallica, Black Sabbath songs not named Paranoid, Dream Theater etc and I've been discovering more ever since.

haha, the most awsome feeling in my childhood was blasting master of reality, the album and head banging in my room while parents would be out for dinner, and by blast I mean so loud that the entire house vibrates. Man I miss the good ol' days...

Did that with Fear of the Dark (live) when I was really young. I was home alone and had just realised I could use YouTube to play songs I didn't yet have on my iPod (We'd lost the album) and my mum came in and shouted TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN, then paused and said "Oh God I sound like my father!"

Not big on Testament. They just bore me to hell, save The Legacy. Any other thrash bands you enjoy other than Testament? ._.

it makes me feel old because there's now people posting on the internet who don't remember a time when there wasn't youtube and ipods.
