Thanks at all the answers, but something is still not clear for me, if they (Arch Enemy) have two guitarists, why the hell is only 1 in the video. (2 guitar players + bass player = 3 people, Nemesis video has only two...). And I'm sure I've seen a poster in Metal Hammer or something, only 4 people in the band. Hmmm maybe they dont have a permanent bass player?

Ok here is the deal. Arch Enemy started with two guitarist that are brothers Michael and Christopher Amott. Around the release of their latest album 'Doomsday Machine' Christopher decided he needed a time out. So he left the band. On the 'Nemesis' video you saw, Christopher was gone but they did not have the new guy, Fredrik Akesson, yet. thats why you saw only one guitarist.

You could have found this info right here:

Google is your friend :)

If you ever need to know anything about a metal band, www.metal-archives.org is a wonderful place.

www.darklyrics.com is good for lyrics as well.

I'm a big fan of metal largely due to the same reason I am a fan of Prog Rock. Complex, interesting instrumentals. Compare a Nile song to say, Linkin Park. Now, you can like whoever you want, not arguing that....but just compare the talent and complexity as far as instrumentals go.

So because you have little appreciation for a specific vocal style, it's now "mindless?" Right.

If you're honestly interested in learning about it rather than poking little jabs at the genre, here you go.

Arch Enemy has two guitarists, the Amott brothers or something. Their original singer was replaced for 2001's Wages Of Sin. I think their new singer is pretty damn hot, got to see her live....and her vocals aren't bad....just kind of generic as mentioned. I haven't even heard their more recent albums but they have been going in a bad direction from what I've seen.

By the way, Gordian Knot is real good. Evergray bored the hell out of me when I saw them with Iced Earth though.

You guys hear about the new Cannibal Corpse album? If I remember correctly, it's going to be titled "Kill." Hahah. Going to be interesting to see how they try and top their last outing.

Can't wait for the new Corpse album. :D

The guy who thinks metal is mindless.. he must only see what's on MTV which only does fake metal and makes kids think metal is like korn.

Read properly, I never said metal is mindless, I said the screaming is mindless to me at least.

You think I like MTV? I only reason I sometimes (rarely) watch MTV is just to see the gals. You really think I like the majority of the bands on MTV? A lot of them suck.

As Ive said I dont like metal solely because of the yelling, without the yells I think I'd love it. The intruments and all I like very much.

im more into the whole instrumental metal scene like Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Joe Satriani. i really enjoy all metal.

i dont mind the screaming. just the deep, satanic screaming (or growling as i like to call it) gets on my nerves. cant understand a damn word they say.

Metallica is what got me into listening to metal. Granted I don't listen to them as much as I used to, but they still have a place in my heart for them.

Lately I've been listening to Trivium and Darkest Hour. IMO two amazing bands.

I can't wait for the In Flames tour. I might go see them in Tempe.

Trivium and Darkest Hour are amazing (Y)

In Flames tour is going to be awesome... im going to see them in either Detroit or Columbus :punk:

Opeth is still the greatest band ever. But here lately I've been really into Anathema, Every Time I Die, Dream Theater, and Cryptopsy. If anyone knows Cryptopsy, then you'll know that not all Canadians are dumb. (jk canada!)

Cryptopsy is great. None So Live is one of the best live albums ever.

they played uk a while back didn't they? i was considering seeing them, opeth or procupine tree - i wanted to see P.T. but it was easiest to see Opeth (as I had a house to crash at) - opeth is brilliant, I need to get round to buying the new album (only know grand conjuration)..

can anyone tell me if Finntroll will EVER play U.K. anywhere? I ... need to see them. . . even though I've only got one of their albums, its brilliant

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
