b0zm4g 2 Posted July 15, 2005 Well i realised Neowin doesnt have a metal club or discussion of metal thread like most forums do, and theres way to many metal fans here to be ignored so come here and discuss latest albums youve bought, recomendations for future purchases of metal albums, and discuss your favorite metal bands with other members, and if your looking for stores to buy hard to find metal albums around your area you can ask people. Sorry if this thread doesnt work, but ive seen it in a few other forums and it usually lasts ages. A few stores in melbourne i know for albums and merchandise, there mainly in the city: Metal Mayhem, www.MetalMayhem.com.au Which is probably the best for albums, but they got some cool t-shirts and stickers and more crap. Smoke Dreams www.SmokeDreams.com.au Not exactly a metal store but they got some cool shirts. name any more if you know some. il start, well i went to metal mayhem today and i bought "In Flames - Whoracle" i reckon its one of there best albums, any one else have this album, would do you reckon of it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newer album Octavarium absoultuly kicks ass!! Fav song on the album is Panic Attack, any opinion on this album from you dudes? 586218375[/snapback] Dream Theater rules, the new album has a more thrash element to it so it's more appealing to people like me who listen to alot of death metal and thrash. Panic Attack and Never Enough are probaly the best two on that album. No good bands come to ****ing Australia period. Were stuck listening to Kyle and ###### Jock Jackie on 101.9 the Fox. Another good album out is the new CKY album, An Answer Can Be Found. Not Metal really... more alternative rock but it's still awesome. Listen to some samplers thrown around the net.

b0zm4g 2 Posted July 15, 2005 Opeth owns dream theater , get blackwater park , this is the best album ever 586218477[/snapback] quite possibly, thats one of my favorite albums, but there definetly the best progressive metal band out there, they sound so diffrent to the rest and they got a big variety of styles of songs, the acoustics, the heavy ****, with progressive metal i find sometimes it can be boring and you wanna skip to the next song like with dream theater sometimes but that never happens to me with opeth.

Evis 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Yep however if you dig melodic vocals then you'd probaly listen to Dream Theater. Opeth is more of a progressive death metal thrown in with a few melodic verses which pretty much keeps it interesting and is what makes it Opeth. The riffs are insane. It's mellow for a while then they just pump out blast beats and death vocals, it's great. Blackwater Park is an awesome album, but it's like the only album i've got lol So i better get some more.

Marduk 1 Posted July 15, 2005 I absolutely LOVE metal!

sacrifist 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Um, I think that you Dream Theater freaks need to create a Dream Theater thread. I have heard the new DT album and it sucks balls. But ofcourse so has all of their albums since the first one. Dont get me wrong, they are excellent musicians, but man does their song writing suck. But the majority of my bashing just comes from not liking their type of music. Whoracle by In Flames is a great album. As of right now im on a Killswitch Engage kick, I highly suggest both of their albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotdog666al 31 Posted July 15, 2005 You can't have a metal club without PANTERA!! Even though I love them so much and I'm seeing them on October 24th, I wouldn't really put Dream theater in the metal section, listen to "Anna Lee" and you'll see what I mean... City of Evil is good too, I just can't stop listening to it! SOME REAL MUSIC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey look, Marduk is trying to be funny. :whistle: You lose. Dream Theater is good but like i said they sometimes seem boring ESPECIALLY some of their songs that go for something insane like 40 minutes. My friend bought the Whoracle album by In Flames so i'm gonna check that out. I've been trying to find two albums, Pestilence - Spheres, and Cynic - Focus but i can't find them anywhere so it looks like an amazon buy. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
