Personally, if there was ever an album to shoot up on heroin to and shatter someone's skull, Dopesick is defintely it.
Why is that good?

Shattering skulls is pretty metal to me...plus, have you ever seen Eyehategod live? They're totally strung out, and its incredible.

They're beyond simple strung out.
Need some more of The Smalls?
oh god, The Smalls own my balls.

The Smalls! Domination is one of my favorite tracks. pure gold

I meant the herion part. Doing herion is in no way good in my opinion, metal or not. Shattering skulls is metal, but you don't need to do herion...you just need to listen to Kataklysm :tem .
Edit: Also, personally I am not into the whole American Southern Death metal scene (Eyehategod, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Crowbar, and that junk). It's not interesting.

You don't like Down?
I thought that was one of Phils best projects.
What about the Union Underground?
Professor Pants

What about the Union Underground?
No, definitely not Union Underground, maybe for a bit when they first got popular on mainstream radio, but I grew out of that fast.
I am not a big fan of Phil Anselmo really...the only thing I really enjoy him on is Eibon, but I don't know if that album even got made/released? Eibon is Phil, Fenriz, and Satyr! So, yea wicked badass, but I've only got a couple songs.
Catatonik
09-29-2005, 11:35 PM
I dunno, I found that with Down, Phil hit that perfect stoner/booze rock sound that pretty much defines who he is :D
None the less,I can understand the feeling I guess. How about the majority of Doom/Stoner?
cloin
09-29-2005, 11:36 PM
Kataklysm... :eyeroll
*edit* Down rules.
Catatonik
09-29-2005, 11:36 PM
Yeah, not really into that at all. Some of it is because I am personally against drug use in general, so that carries over into what I'd like to listen to in music. Stoner rock/metal is not my thing.
Kataklysm... :eyeroll
*edit* Down rules.
Dude, check the "Holy Crap" spoiler in my sig.
No need to limit this. I am a music fanatic, not just a metal fanatic.
But yeah, any.
You like Hansi but not Warrel?
I'm confuzzled :D
Anyhoo, Props for Wilson and Akerfeldt.
But, Glen Burton? Or Benton?
sageman
09-29-2005, 11:37 PM
Dude, you should play some of that on The Incinerator. That's an amazing show and anyone into metal should listen to it.
cloin
09-29-2005, 11:38 PM
Yes! Kataklysm is coming out with the same album they put out last time which was the same album they put out before that, and on and on. Sorry, I've just always found Kataklysm to be extemely unimpressive, monotonous, repetitive, poorly drum triggered, watered down death metal.
Catatonik
09-29-2005, 11:39 PM
Stoner Rock/Metal rules.
Sleep. \m/
Anyhoo, I admit to being a n00b in the Doom genre myself, still working my way in.
BUT there are some amazing bands in Doom/Stoner.
Professor Pants
09-29-2005, 11:40 PM
Just different tastes I guess. I never really found Meshuggah to be all that impressive...
sageman
09-29-2005, 11:41 PM
Kataklysm is like a guilty pleasure, nothing technical, not impressive, just badass. Ambassador of Pain, In Shadows and Dust, Manipulator of Souls, good stuff. Plus, gotta love how Blood on the Swans starts, haha. Good stuff.
cloin
09-29-2005, 11:42 PM
Haha, not liking Meshuggah is all fine and dandy, but to deny their obvious talent is childish.
Catatonik
09-29-2005, 11:48 PM
I admit I don't care for Meshuggah much myself, but they are fucking hyper talented.
I mean...the shit they play is f-ing complex.
Much like the oft maligned Dillinger Escape plan
Professor Pants
09-29-2005, 11:51 PM
I don't know, there are only a few actual death metal bands I like. Unless the band really impresses me, or have some comedic value I find it hard to get into certain bands. There are just too many sub-par death metal bands (not Meshuggah, but many others) that I really don't enjoy listening to. In Meshuggah's case, I never really like his vocals. Musicwise I find nothing wrong with them. Same with Nevermore for me, I don't like his voice, but musically they are sound.
cloin
09-29-2005, 11:53 PM
Meshuggah really isn't even death metal. They're far too progressive to be lumped into that genre.
And are you crazy?! Warrel Dane of Nevermore is a god! A god!
Catatonik
09-29-2005, 11:53 PM
You don't like Warrel Danes vocals? o.O
Wow.
Umm.......
Okay, riddle me this:
Who do you consider to be the best vocalists?
I'm not being an asshole, genuinely curious.
Professor Pants
09-29-2005, 11:54 PM
Death metal or otherwise?
Mikael Akerfeldt, Peter Tatgren, Glen Benton, Steven Wilson, Russel Allen, Hansi Kursch, Jens Rydén(ex-Naglfar), Maynard James Keenan, Satyr, Tobias Sammet, Ilja Jalkanen (Kiuas), Matt Barlow, Bruce Dickenson...
Benton sorry..
You like Hansi but not Warrel?
I'm confuzzled :D
Different type of music...different styles. Edit: Just don't like the way he wines kinda. (Thought it was someone else).
Catatonik
09-30-2005, 12:07 AM
Nope
That's all Warrels own vocals.
Mind you he went higher more often when he was in Sanctuary, but still. The mans voice is so versatile, I (a severe Devin Townsend fanbpy) would rate him in my top three for vocal versatility and lyrical content.
Professor Pants
09-30-2005, 12:20 AM
I don't doubt his versatility or range, it's just not my style.
sageman
09-30-2005, 12:43 AM
Warrel is amazing. I do think it's funny though that he has an almost RI accent sometimes, like Heart Collector where he says "the Hahhrt Collector sang", at least how my friend and I hear it. Akerfelt is amazing, love his growls, one of my roommates can't stand his growls for some reason. His voice is so clean too, so good.
Catatonik
09-30-2005, 12:50 AM
In the metal industry, my top three fave voices are
Devin Townsend, Mikael Akerfeldt and Warrel Dane
But there are so many great voices out there, Spearhead, Mike Patton, Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Steve Wilson, Tchort, Kristy Thirsk....
Hell, Les Claypool, the guy from Slough Feg, Michael Caldwell (the Smalls), Tom Waits, Johnny Cash. Corb Lund...

I haven't really been exposed to them.

Have you heard Rwake? They're from the city I live in and signed to At A Loss Records. They're very Neurosis inspired but not nearly as experimental. They're good though and worth a looking into.

Gates of Slumber just own like a new-age Sabbath.

It's almost that time again...time for metal radio! Make sure you're around tomorrow from 7-10pm Eastern Standard Time(GMT -4) , for the Incinerator Internet metal radio show. I know this is a pretty shameless plug, but it's a great show. We take requests, so you get to hear our stuff, and you get the chance to have everyone listen to your favorites as well. Check the sig. for links and such. Remember that it's tomorrow. Hopefully this will be enough advanced warning so that people will not forget, and not too soon that no one sees it.
Hope to have everyone listening tomorrow night.

I know I sound like a broken record, but tune in to the Incinerator in about a half hour. That's 7pm Eastern Time(GMT -5, Check your timezone and figure it out). Anywho, metal all night long, until 10 anyways. Tonight's theme is Light and Darkness, all songs will have "light" or "dark" in there somewhere. So tune in, make requests (as long as they comply with the theme) and have fun. Important links are in the sig.

hi people!!, i'm new in this forum and i'm glad to find metal people!!..., i just finished reading all the threads..., cause i didnt wanna repeat oldies discussions..., and i was really getting anoyed with: "hey man! i bleed metal!, i'm a big korn and linkin park fan!!", i was like..., whaaaaaaaaatttt!!..., now things are normal i guess..., it's a metal thread..., so let's talk about metal...
i'm actually not only a metal head..., but a true hard rock fan..., england in the 70s would be the best place in the world...., so..., my top 3 bands of all times are definitely Aerosmith, Deep Purple and Judas Priest...., i know..., Aerosmith, that band's not true hard rock..., but... 1.- my beginings were with this band..., 2.- their 70s stuff is just killer lick after killer lick..., well the 80s were really good..., 90s good..., and now i've rebuild my faith in them, with the blues album (after the ultra comertial years: I dont wan to... - Just Push Play)..., but that's enough about rock....
I really like the nwobhm bands..., there are a meny of unrated bands like satan and legend that deserve more atention..., i don't like at all the 80s american metal..., indeed..., for me hair metal it's not metal.... Trash!!.. i like trash!! it all began with the "welcome to hell" album..., thx Venom..., ah..., and Venom it's not black metal..., i prefer the german wave of trash..., my favorite trash band is SODOM (i can't believe that i have'nt read this name before in the thread), and also i like the old school trash, (like the first Sepultura album, Morvid Visions, their best work from my perspective), the best bands of this style are here in southamerica (i'm peruvian!!) but right now i'm really exited with this band..., merciless..., they're somewhere in europe...Death Metal...,well, i like the old american bands..., Death (r.i.p. Chuck...) specially the first 4 albums... Obituary, Deicide (Deicide is my fave death metal album..., but i hate Benton..., i can't stand him..., poor speaker..) Cannibal Corpse..., Malevolent Creation..., i like sweden bands like Dismember and Entombed... but i don't like at all melodic death metal (but i still like the burning bridges album..., what a master piece) from the death metal nowadays..., i like Nile, Behemoth (they 're death metal now...), Cryptopsy..., mmmmm..., there are some bands left..., but i prefer the old death metal..., and well..., i can't say a word about black metal 'cause i haven't heard enough (just the principal bands)..., i don't like doom, gothic, industrial, power metal...
But heavy metal is what i hear the most...., the gods Judas..., the kings Manowar..., the beast Maiden.., Accept, King Diamond, Primal Fear, Dio, Black Sabbath (wihtout ozzy, wiht ozzy they're hard rock), Scorpions, Saxon, Loudness, Diamond Head, Thor,etc, etc....
that's all, i wanna say that being a metal head here is really difficult... bands just don't come here..., i only have seen: Dismember, SODOM, Kreator, Destruction, Anthrax, Iron Maiden (but i have to go to Argentina), Hammerfall came but i couldn't go, Pandemia, Fleshless, Sepultura, Masacre, and that's it in the last 3 and a half years (i think...)..., but that doesn't matter..., i'm never gonna give up..., and here we are waiting the Desaster show in 2weeks...., and Napalm Death have confirmed their prescence here..., :D:D:D:D...
well that's all for now..., i hope to be in contact with you people..., bye....

A really good black death metal band is Augery. they are very heavy and crazy sounding, but the black metal parts annoy me, mainly cause im not a huge black metal fan other than some Emperor and the vocals are opera like in the black metal parts. They have some really great heavy music though
Catatonik

You must listen to Clutch!
Professor Pants
10-06-2005, 04:07 PM
Just grabbed the two mp3s (augury) from Galy Records site, they aren't too bad. I'll have to give them a few listens before I say anything definitive though.
metalanime
10-06-2005, 04:16 PM
there are some augery songs that are really great, like cosmic migration, beatus and alien shores. I am pretty picky about what i listen to, and you kind of have to be with metal because there are so many bands that dont have alot of melody or just sound loud and call themselves metal.
I fuckin hate clutch, I saw them at sotu and they fuckin pissed me off cause they arent metal and played a fucking long set. they are bar rock, not metal. Im also a huge opeth fan.
check out vehemence off the album god was created. their best album. the vocalist has a really great deep growl. really great music too, figured out like 5 of thier songs. the drummer fucking kicks ass too. saw them live, and while it was a really small 7 dollar show, still one of the best sets ive seen.
Professor Pants
10-06-2005, 04:31 PM
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of clutch either. I didn't go to SOTU because I can't stand pretty much every band that played except for Opeth. There were way more hardcore/metalcore bands on that tour than actual metal bands. SYL and Gwar would have been cool to see, but I didn't feel like spending the money on just those three. Especially because I would have had to deal with the fans of the hardcore bands (ugh). Anyways, I'm seeing Opeth in a few weeks so it doesn't matter.
metalanime
10-06-2005, 04:36 PM
yeah, at sotu, gwar played a great set, though im not a fan of them, syl really sucked, and opeths set kind of sucked because they only played 3 songs, deliverance, the grand conjuration, and demon of the fall, and I dont really like the grand conjuration. Opeth will be near me between the 21st and 24th of this month so I may go see them again. At least at sotu I got thier autographs twice, except for martin lopez.
There was alot of stupid little fucks though. screaming for norma jean and crap like that
Professor Pants
10-06-2005, 04:41 PM
They only played 3 songs!? I'm really glad I didn't go now.
Catatonik
10-06-2005, 04:41 PM
SYL really sucked?
WTF?
They not only have a synergy that few other bands can ever achieve, they have one of the most high-powered entertaining live shows available. Not too mention, they are also one of the heaviest and strongest metal bands right now.
And while I love Opeth, their live show leaves a LOT to be desired. A LOT.

The SOTU was too much of a bad hardcore tour instead of a real metal tour. Putting bands like everytime I die and Opeth together is just wrong :S
Catatonik
10-07-2005, 02:54 AM
Yes and no. Opeth has now been seen by many, many more fans than before. This only gives them more exposure.
If only fifteen guys walk away from that Tour looking to check out Opeth (or Strapping Young Lad, Clutch, GWAR, etc) then it was a good idea. Not to mention that when a band like Opeth or SYL hits the stage, all that vaunted hardcore "technical" elitism melts in the face of their sets.

I remember seeing Meatlocker Seven open for SYL in Victorie. While ML7 aren't technically Hardcore, they have a good solid core element, and some great technical playing.
They also have rabid hardcore fans.
By the end of SYLs set, all of the CD's Devy and gang had brought along were gone.
That's good enough reason to make these kind of mixed tours IMO.
And I discovered ML7 and loved them ever since.

funny that you mention that cause during deliverance, the mic stopped working before he even started singing, and while they were trying to fix it, in which they seemed in no rush to do, they cut off his guitar and didnt get it back until after they fixed the mic.

Im not pissing and moaning, it was a good show. Still had to drive 2 hours to see them though. Its not my fault most of the bands sucked, but thats not why i went anyway. not alot of shows come here either, but sometimes they do, Nile came, morbid angel, slayer a few times, pantera, diecide, vehemence (back when nathan was still around), and a few other rock and classic rock bands and what not, but I dont really go to shows unless they have something that is worth it or I get in for free.

I lived in Vancouver.
I have seen Dimmu, Hypocrisy, Children of Bodom, Nevermore, Moonspell, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, Meatlocker 7, Motorhead...
I could go on, but I won't. cause I live in Calgary right now...and it is teh suckage...but still better than poor Erks situation.
Vancouver is one of my favorite cities. My cousin lives there now and it gives me a cheap excuse to visit. ;)
Soilent Green's "Sewn Mouth Secrets" was just re-released today. A staple of the metal genre. Info and whatnot. (http://shop.relapse.com/store/product.aspx?ProductID=21806)

SG is a bad that must be seen to believe. Almost as powerful as the music is the story behind the band. Anyone who has cheated death twice out of sheer toughness, recorded most of an album from his hospital bed, and taught himself how to walk again in a public swimming pool is guarenteed to make damn good heavy metal/grindcore.

Just thought I'd pop in to say that I'm seeing Judas Priest, Rob Zombie and Anthrax on Oct. 30th in Long Beach and also Children of Bodom on Nov. 27th in Hollywood.
Guess I should make one of them thar favorite band lists:
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Children of Bodom, Black Sabbath, Cryptic Wintermoon, Hollenthon, Therion, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Dark Moor, Iced Earth, Mercyful Fate, Yngwie Malmsteen, Shaman, Old Metallica, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, and Sydian.

I just managed to find "An Extra Nail For Your Coffin" by Lamb of God. It was a song released only in Japan and it definitely is really good. I personally like the outro for this song, synchronized electric guitars and all that good metal shit.
And because I care, here's a link in which you can download it from. Get it while it's hot! (http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=37BLYMJ14XOLZ1NONBFUCW22BL)

Does it matter? As long as I get to see Priest.
I'm more excited about Children of Bodom though since it'll be the first time I'll see them headlining. Last time I saw them they were opening for Lamb of God and they only got a 45 minute set.
Speaking of Lamb of God...

Yesterday here in Peru the german band DESASTER gave a great show, the biggest since Anthrax...
The opening show (the local bands: Anal Vomit, Necropsya, and Bestial Possession) were great.
Once DESASTER appeared, the mosh started and there is no way to describe the excitment of the people. Sataniac, Odin, Tormentor and Infernal looked really happy at the end of the show, actually I could speak with Infernal, and he was amazed about the people's answer (and a little drunk too), I bought him a beer :P, he deserved it. My personal faves: Teutonic Steel and Metalized Blood.
In 2 weeks Napalm Death will be here..., same place, I hope to repeat the insane moments of yesterday...
Let's see.
Blind Guardian, Edguy, Kamelot, Emperor, Borknagar, Nightwish, Rhapsody, Zyklon, Dimmu Borgir, Bathory, Bal-sagoth, Children of Bodom, Avantasia, Burzum, Opeth, Immortal, Finntroll, Haggard, Iced Earth, Moonspell, Metallica, My Dying Bride, Nevermore, Ram-Zet, Ragnarok, Vintersorg, Wintersun, Soilwork, Sonata Arctica, Symphony X, and many more. \m/

They were touring as the backing band for Jello Biafro, so they also did a buch of Dead Kennedys songs with him. That was cool. I love Jello, but hes really annoying. I hope that album they did with him is the last, so they can get back to being gargantuan.

Just saw the Opeth, Nevermore, and Fireball Ministry show on Sunday. Great show I must say. Opeth were awesome as usual. Did a good set, mixed it up with songs from every album except the first two. Much better than the Deliverance tour, when they pretty much only played from Deliverance and Damnnation. No Drapery Falls, so I was a little disappointed but other than that, great songs. (Baying of the Hounds, When, Bleak, Face of Melinda, In My Time of Need, Deliverance, The Grand Conjuration, Blackwater Park, Demon of the Fall, possibly more that are not coming to mind.)
Nevermore was so-so, I couldn't hear his voice well, so that was a plus. The guitars were a little too muffled, and I couldn't really discern the music. It's too bad, because I enjoy the music, just not his singing. Fireball Ministry was decent enough. Not my type of metal really. It sucks because the next scheduled tour date Into Eternity takes over for Fireball Ministry. I would have liked to see them again.

Wow...you guyz are some serious rock heads. I like stuff like fall out boy, billy talent, nirvana, blink 182, sum 41, greenday.
Not really metal. =/
Catatonik

Nope, not really metal at all.
But I think you are mistaking us just for metal heads.
That would be an incorrect assumption.
We listen to whatever is good, and atleast the colin and I are very opinionated assholes :)

Any of you guys ever make a really uninformed CD purchase? I remember when I was buying a Naruto manga and I bought Soundtrack to Your Escape in a rare lapse of judgement. It still pains me to this day that I bought that CD instead of Whoracle. But next week I redeemed myself and bought Morbid Angel's Covenant.:)
Catatonik

Oh yes.
That's why Cannibal Corpse - Galleries of Suicide sits on my shelf virtually untouched.
Infact, it is one of my two oldest remaining CD's, out of my original two hundred plus CD collection, the thief left behind Chris deBurgh - Spanish Train (thank god) and Cannibal Corpse (asshole.)
Oh and I also bought a Rhapsody album based entirely on the cover art.
Yeah.

I make uninformed purchases all the time. Sometimes they pay off, but usually I find myself smashing records out of frustration.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 09:27 PM
I try not to do it anymore.
But...well, you know, enticing cover art.....
cloin

I find myself buying absolutely any album I come across that actually proclaims itself to be 'pure fucking satanic black metal' on the cd case. God that's funny.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 09:34 PM
which means you have gotten your hands on some truly badly produced, poorly played shit recorded in the drummers moms basement.
Ahhh, corpsepaint and leathers.
cloin
11-07-2005, 09:35 PM
But it's so fun to listen to, and so funny. I mean, come on man, 'fukkin' kVlt!' Hahahaha.
Catatonik

2 Tr00 man teh nekrokvlt black metuhl is teh bestest.
>.>
Hehehe
I mean I LIKE Black Metal as a sound (mostly) but damn, I could certainly live without the imagery.
Probably why I like Akercocke so much, any guys who play death infused satanic black metal while wearing business suits are awesome in my books.

I think some black metal tries too hard to be all "tr00 kvlt" and scary and ends up making itself look ridiculous. To most metal veterans, anyway. The only people I think find black metal imagery scary are republicans and old people. Off the topic, I once knew a guy who considered himself a "satanist" and a "warlock" because he listened to Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson. Other than that he was a pretty cool guy. I felt like calling him on his delusions a few times, but I thought it would be better for him to grow out of it on his own.

I think it was Hellhammer who said that black metal bands that have bad production aren't doing it because they're "real", but because they want tho hide the fact that they suck at playing their instruments :P
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:07 PM
Heh
True dat.
Black Metal has some of the most amusing and childish imagery in the metal scene.
Jagermonster
11-07-2005, 10:09 PM
I think the only time bad production is an acceptible excuse is when you clearly don't have the money to afford it. Like Megadeth's first album, Killing is my Business... And business is good!, and that album is a fucking classic! Same goes for Show No Mercy and Kill'em All.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:10 PM
Production is as important a tool as any instrument IMO, and gritty and grindy production are still different than just badly produced.
cloin
11-07-2005, 10:11 PM
There's nothing wrong with gritty production. Pig Destroyer's album Prowler in the Yard is a good example of this.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:15 PM
As I said, there's a difference between gritty and just bad (or none at all)
But it can be a hard line to define.
louuster
11-07-2005, 10:16 PM
But there is definitely something wrong with over-producing an album while trying to make it sound under-produced, see Metallica's St-Anger.
My friend just gave me Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines.
Needless to say, I requested her hand in marriage
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:18 PM
There is so much wrong with that album that the production is merely par for course.
Ironic that not three months apart, Metallica (minus Newsted) releases an utter steaming pile of fecal remains, and VoiVod (add Newsted) releases a strong, tight and highly impressive album.
Edit: In Their Darkened Shrines is a fucking brilliant Epic!
louuster
11-07-2005, 10:23 PM
Yeah I know I never said it was a good album, but I heard they really over did it in the studio while trying to return to their kill'em all sound.
And RIP Piggy, who died in August this year :crying
Edit: In Their Darkened Shrines is a fucking brilliant Epic!
I dont know what to listen to! The Smalls or Nile; so much goodness.
:spaz
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:28 PM
Umm
>.O
Don't do that to me man.
I recommend The Smalls - Waste and tragedy, then Nile, then the Smalls. :D
louuster
11-07-2005, 10:38 PM
By the way thanks again for The Smalls, I was finally able to dl it yesterday :thumbs

Best songs ever:
Toughest Times, Domination, Payload, Two Pigs in a Gunny Sack, Empty V, Pity the Man With the Fast Right Hand, Murdering Me..

Erkekjetter

You're Gonna Die~ The Smalls. Awesome song, tied with Domination though.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:49 PM
What he actually meant was toughest Times ^

Fuck that, get Roger Dean to draw your 'best of' cover art.
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:52 PM
That would be interesting.
Jagermonster
11-07-2005, 10:53 PM
Any of you guys think that SOD will tour again? I would do anything, I mean anything to see them live at Bogart's. Yes, anything. hahaha
Catatonik
11-07-2005, 10:54 PM
Kinky.
I've never been a big SoD or Milan fan.
But they do get a chuckle from me.
Tony Laureano is a fucking machine, the drum work is out of this world.
Erkekjetter
11-07-2005, 11:00 PM
Yes I did. I was listening to the song though and that part came by.

Matt Pike is a cool guy, very friendly in person.
Catatonik

Dopesmoker is a wickedly awesome album.
Truly cool.
Yoshi
11-08-2005, 03:00 PM
Light of day, day of darkness is a really good song. Are their other albums any good?
Catatonik
11-08-2005, 07:19 PM
Green Carnations albums are all completely awseome IMO. But each one is very different.
Erkekjetter
11-08-2005, 09:36 PM
I'd like to check the others out. I only have LoD, DoD.
Catatonik
11-08-2005, 09:39 PM
Hmm, I think that can be arranged

I am now Cata's padawan, learning the ways of metal.
Catatonik

I have, like an army of Padawans.
Call me the Emperor!

I are t3h padawan! Been that way for awhile.
Catatonik

One of the first you were.
Hmm, yes, to the darkside you came swiftly.

Catatonik is building up a vast metal army. G'night, I'm off to bed.

G'night, pleasant nightmares. On a side note, I listened to LoD DoD tonigh while sleeping.
