Try a band called 'Arch Enemy' then. They do that sort of stuff with a bird screaming, no less. 'Wages Of Sin' is the album you need.PS: Try Biomechanical's debut album 'Eight Moons' aswell. And a band called Liquid Sky, if you are lucky enough to find anything by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Of The Fall Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 the haunted are indeed a class act. they formed from the remains of a thrash band called At the gates (their album slaughter of the soul is one of my fave albums) keep us the good listening \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 The Best Haunted album in my opinion is their first one, (self titled) folloed by "Made Me Do it" and then "One Kill Wonder" At the Gates are ok. But far more influential than they were actually good. "Slaughter of the soul" is a very classic album and "Terminal Spirit Disease" is also pretty good."Red In The Sky is Ours" and "With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness" are both terrible. I wish I'd never bought them...but I was young!Regarding Devin Townsend here is what I'd suggest:"City" - Strapping Young Lad (if you want brutal as fuck but somehow beautiful industrial extreme metal)"Biomech" - Ocean Machine (this is Devin's most beautiful piece of work, amazing songs)"Accelerated Evolution" - Devin Townsend Band (similar to Ocean Machine but a little heavier. Devy sings rather than screams through it and it has some beautiful progressive rock but still with heavy guitars. Not a million miles away from the deftones in places!)I'd say "Infinity" and "Terria" although 2 favourites of Hog's and still really good, are not the best way to get into Devin, as I think you have to already love him to appreciate and even "get" (without sounding like a Devin elitist snob) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 bought 'soundtrack to your escape' by In Flames today.... very fucking cool. one up have clayman and 'rereoute to remain' for 9.99...also some Opeth for decent prices so will have to purchase these over the coming weeks! didn't see any soilwork in one up though...hrm..

Dan G Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I'm glad you like the new in flames one.I was pretty disappointed to be honest. Sounds like a cross between Him, Korn and Reroute to Remain.And I don't like Him, Korn and not much of reroute to remain so you could see it coming... In Flames just dropped all those lovely guitar harmonies that made their old stuff so classy and memorable.I'm sure those lovely people at HMV could provide you with a bit of Soilwork though!

KarmaTsunami Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 might be my only choice...that or internet shopping. i reckon 'clayman' is next though..that or 'still life' by opeth.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Some mighty fine choices indeed!You could always ask One up to order you those Soilwork albums... Once you've got into those bands, I'll see how suggestable you are to a wee bit of Carcass "Heartwork" and "Arbeit Macht Fleisch" (from the album "Heartwork") are pretty nifty songs if that radiostation thingy has them....

KarmaTsunami Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 hmmm...''city'' by devin townsend...4...but it's a tape....i like tapes...''all hail the new flesh'' fucking rocks...ordered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 All Hail the new flesh is amazing! So is detox and underneath the waves off the same album.Actually that whole album is ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 which is why i'm chuffed i got it for just over a fiver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGEL O' DEATH Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I've not heard all of 'colony' by In Flames but Clayman is definetley the way forward with the next In Flames buy!!It's fucking superb....If you are going to get Soilwork get Figure No. 5 with the extra cd with 6 bonus tracks cause they are a little different but just as amazing. HMV definetley sell soilwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Yeah that's a pretty good bargain!I got the Strapping Young Lad setlist when I saw them live, but I gave it to Hog because I'm nice and he's obsessed I remember buying "City" in Edinburgh and at the same time I bought "Cruelty And The Beast" by Cradle Of Filth and "Greed" by Pulkas' ...I bet you not many folk can remember Pulkas! They would have well popular if they came out a couple of years later.Fuck me, that must have been 1998! It doesn't feel like that long ago. The 2000's are going way too quickly...
