Hey, MetalGuardian! Our names are a bit too similar! Speaking of names; massive brofistcuddle to anyone who can point out which metal song inspired my username.

Those songs are just Beautiful, Every time I listen to them is just like so relaxing, I love Alcest, one of the very few french bands I know and that I actually would pay to see.

Blind Guardian and Tyrants by Immortal are the obvious ones... Just a straight-up brofist for trying?

Both parts are from the same song. It's not that obvious. No brofist for you, but you can have the cuddling part!
Hint: Arcana awaits.
Edit: You sir, are a god among men, and yes, we are! <3

Just lately i've come to realise that Bandcamp is one of the greatest ways to experience new music from people you've never heard of before...
Browsing through the Black Metal tags i found Oak Pantheon. They play a brand of atmospheric black metal with folk elements that's pretty damn good. I expect if you like Agalloch then you're in with a chance of liking these guys.
I also found Issachar who remind me of a less good version of Between the Buried and Me

You can listen to Megadeth's sound check for tonight. Its supposed to be a stream for an acoustic performance, but I think someone forgot to turn the camera off.
My God Mustaine is such a dick.

One word: Sonata Arctica; And I do not care what ppl say 
Just get all of the Ozzy Era albums and all of the Dio Era albums and you're set.
The Black Box = All Ozzy era albums, kinda pricey these days though.
The Rules of Hell = All Dio era albums and can be had for a reasonable price.
Those are what you want >_>

Awww... I missed it. What happened?
One word: Sonata Arctica; And I do not care what ppl say
Ecliptica and Silence are awesome, and still are awesome, but everything after that just never clicked with me. Few great tracks here and there, but all the albums just were so forgettable.

I've decided they need to make a shirt out of this album cover:
Only not the usual lame "album cover on black" motif. They need to have the devil/demon in the center, with the flames around him wrapping all the way around the shirt. The entire shirt should be flames.
It'd be awesome. I'd buy two.

have you seen his guitar rig? its fucking pathetic. He has a tech guy whos job is to just switch effects / amps for him. I mean fuck, do it like ac dc. you plug your guitar into a marshall stack, and you mic that.

LOVED their previous release 'Dark Meditations in Monastic Seclusion' so I have really high hopes for this.

And even with all this, his live guitar tone is absolutely terrible, as is the band's mixing live. He used to have decent guitar tones, now he's endorsing that horrendous Zoom pedal and using massive stacks of digital modelers, it's embarrassing.
It is beyond me why the guitar wankers feel the urge to use huge effects racks like that. the best guitar sounds I've ever heard have pretty much been from either medium wattage amps used for a high gain but high harmonic based sound (think jesus lizard), or high wattage amps turned up to eleven to push the shit out of the power amps (austerity program, isis, mastodon, etc). the only exception to the "digital models fucking suck" rule seems to be jesu, but his use is so different from the other types its hard to compare (he uses a pod xt, but he doesnt use it to copy the meshugah sound, shock/awe).
Speaking of Meshuggah, they're doing some viral thing over on reddit and leaked a new song from the album: http://iamaleak.com/
I'm digging the slower tempos, very excited for Koloss, and the tour.

haha the waveform
Fuckin a.
They suffer from terribly squashed dynamics and compression to the point of clipping throughout their discography. It's a shame, but most metal is okay with mastering albums to sound horrid. Still great music either way, though.
Pimping my friends band.
OLD SCHOOL DEATH n' THRASH.
They are blowing up in the underground scene.
This was filmed early last year.
http://youtu.be/TRwTLYRRlrQ
This is a song off their new album. Self-titled track. This is the way I like my Death Metal. With small touch of cross-over.

LOVE Sonata Arctica. And actually, I enjoy all of their albums. I prefer the older stuff, though.

I prefer the original cover, but this one is still pretty cool.

Haha. Look, I've not heard any recent Rhapsody "of Fire", but slagging on Symph Sex/Arctica and then proceeding to tell us that you're digging RoF... That just doesn't add up to me.
Of what I've heard, Symphony X are by far and away the best of the 3; they're shit now, but songs like The Edge of Forever, Accolade I/II, The Eyes of Medusa, Egypt, etc are fucking rad.
Actually, I think the only RoF song I've heard is Under the Rain of a Thousand Flames and it kinda sucks balls :S
I remember checking out Galneryus before, but first I've heard Liv Moon, that Black Ruby track is pretty solid, great riffs, and killer guitar tone.

Check out this badass necklace I just purchased! Gotta fly that metal flag wherever I go. Plus if I ever go to prison years down the road I can show the judge my amazon account history and "prove" that I've been a "legitimate pagan" for years so I can get out of the cell to slaughter a boar in the forest every Wednesday
Currently addicted to Rhino/Horn of the Rhino, especially this song:

people have preferences bruh. Im picky on what I hear/listen and if it doesn't click, it aint worth my time like symph x, and son arctica. Also who said I dug RoF? As I said before, Im diggin The Frozen Tears of Angels album only. So far...kind of meh except reign of terror. And I do agree with you that Under the rain of thousand penises song sucks dream theater balls.
One more thing, someone should ban Luca Turilli and Warrel Dane from making solo album(s). They're terrbile like Dream theater's Octavarium album. yes the DT album is not a solo album but you get the picture.
Not sure if this has been posted.
New Meshuggah track has been leaked, Looks like it was intentional.
http://soundcloud.com/gregoriev_suckalotsky/iamaleak
It's not overly agressive, a nice groove though and your standard chuggin.

I just got done telling my wife I want me a thor's hammer pendant as well. The prison thing is just a bonus to looking like a boss.
Also, random Rhapsody talk is always a plus. The last two albums (Frozen Tears and From Chaos to Eternity) are really fucking good. As diverse, creative, and (believe it or not) as heavy as they have ever been. Legendary Tales is probably my favorite album by them, but it's awesome that the band went out with a bang.

One of my lecturers has a tattoo of Thor's Hammer on his arm. He is 40+ and Swedish I think but it's pretty sick either way.
Rhapsody are really good though. Loved the direction Triumph or Agony took things. Frozen Tears of Angels was great too but Fabio's vocals kinda get repetitive for me very easily. Luca Turili is mind blowingly crazy at guitar. I cringe whenever I look at his videos for his site though. Neo-classical is cool and all but the romantic, white-rosed Italian guy thing is very weird for me.

I went to both of these shows within a week of one another. Gigantour was fun aside from being in the cheap seats which were far as fuck from the stage, and the 36 dollar beers. Still don't understand Lacuna Coil going on before Volbeat.
Iced Earth and Symphony X was AMAZING.
Have fun!
