I do, but what that has to do with the motives behind it? Exactly what I'm saying is that it doesn't have to do with the motives behind it enough perhaps, that they're only passively scrutinized by people and since it's similar to other metal like that they like then it passes the cursory examinati...

One general question. I read that 'many' US metal bands had that 'fakeness' and their motives were not as pure as they seemed to be and while I don't say that this didn't happen at all, I don't understand why such thing should necessarily detract alot of the pleasure their music can give to someone...

wom if you see it anywhere do tell me in MSN.

I dore the two Xerxes records more and more and more as time passes by. I can't explain it, it's like a lost link in HM that I've discovered and although I'd like more, I can just dedicate myself to what little of it there exists.

Yes there is, comparably. Greek metalheads bitch and moan about the magazine 'Metal Hammer' but the fact of the matter is, there is more talk in it about what we would deem in this forum to be true steel than on Metal Hammer UK or Terrorizer or whatever else. And even when you see how pityful it is ...

The most accurate description would be that a big portion of the (remaining) US metal fans of the entire world is in Greece Yes, more accurate. I do think that there will be another generation pocket of metal fans that worships US metal here of the same size, because I see all these 17-8 year olds ...

I listen to second wave black metal too and it's not all recycling of Bathory/Venom/Mercyful Fate. The problem with Nargaroth and bands like that is that they're self-referencing, they make black metal ABOUT black metal and that's completely navel-gazing moronic scenester shit. Black metal shouldn't...

I'm certain a lot of people have a 'pure' progression towards US metal in Greece and elsewhere, Ion. Not saying everybody's swept by a trend. However isn't it interesting how for as long as I remember talking to Greek 'serious' metalheads for example they have impressed upon me that Liege Lord (a ve...

The Forsaken album is good but I don't think it outdoes the previous Dominaeon.

man, I'll take that job.

A lot has to do I think with what 'scenes' you are introduced the earliest to in each country. For example when a wiser older friend played me my first real HM (after having listened to Metallica) he played me Sultan's Ransom, King of the Dead, Control and Resistance and I think Tysondog?! He just p...

They sound pretty excellent to me! Their mission statement is honest too.

Man I don't know, only a couple of listens into the new Believer but I don't think it's half-assed or anything. Pretty composed, structuralist following of the last few Believer albums... fitting production. I don't have any favourites because it's not the sort of music you can pick up in a couple o...

Yeah sure, go ahead and criticize.

HIGH SPIRITS is a new band that plays high-energy rock music! Or heavy metal if you prefer! We are not great musicians and we do not have fancy expensive equipment! So, our recordings right now certainly have some rough edges! But we are always practicing and learning, and also revising our songs t...

Oh man, I have downloaded it and I was expecting it to be good and then you write this Will post once I've given it half a dozen thorough listens.
