Metal Reviews

Thanks for turning gaycore, faggots.

wow on the second song, what teh fuck. This is total fucking metalcore gay shit. AHHHH

I bought their 2nd album as a 2 for 1 with Maiden's Rock in Rio and it was like At The Gates but with cheesy catchy choruses, no emotion and ten years late. I can't really see their new one being very good if they don't have Tomas anymore :\

Worst 20$ I've ever spent.

yeah descent into chaos was alright, sweet vengeance was really good though.,

Sweet Vengeance is ok, nothing too special. Tom Englund's vocals really fuck things up (in a bad way not in da kewl jumpdafuck up way k?) whenever he makes an appearance though.

I have no interest in hearing this new album. No Gus G and no Tompa = no care. I haven't heard the new guy sing, but any death metal band with a singer who lists Slipknot among his influences is in trouble I think. Plus he just looks like a mallcore faggot.

Husker threads put a little Husker in all of us (but not in da sexul way k?).

yeah dude don't listen to this it sucks.

I have heard the promo of this and i like it

in a totally unrelated subject, are you Opeth666?

anyway, all i heard was 1 track off "sweet vengeance" and i'm yet to check out the rest. i will sooner or later though, Tompa is the man.

Heard older songs and I didn't like it. Bog-standard melodeath.






So I'll be checking their new direction out!

I had many names and many lives.
Many spouses and many childs.
Opeth666 is what i was once called
A long time ago




Ok that was bad but seriously yeah i've been around for a while and i used the Opeth666 nick in the past .That was on the old boards when i was more active.

You sure do have a good memory

There is nothing shocking about the direction of this album. It's essentially the same as their previous albums but with more melody and clean-singing.

Shocking, really.

I think it's a great album. The clean-singing and melodies makes it come off a little less heavy than the previous two albums, but the songs are great!

No one's saying it was unexpected.

Umm, I just listened to Being Nothing (from the 2nd album) and the new song Scathing back to back from myspace and the new guy sounded almost indistinguishable to Tom! :O
There was also a live clip of some song with the new singer, and darn he sounded vicious live >)
So, there were no clean singing on these ones, so I can't comment on that. I wonder where you've heard those? But other than that, the new stuff sounded exactly like before

There is a good dose of clean singing on the new one. And the new vocalist is sick! You should have heard him in DeathDestruction. Awesome stuff.

Well at least Nightrage is a better outlet then paint by numbers metal like Firewind is for Gus G. Sweet Vengance is a cool album though, hard to find stuff like this anymore though or maybe I just don't pay attention.

Tom's vocals are awesome, I agree somewhat that he didn't fit in well with Nightrage though.

As for the new record, I haven't really gotten around to it yet, so I don't really have a comment. Nothing much to add really, but considering there's no Tompa anymore I doubt it could hold a candle to past releases.
