:o That's great :) I've not listened to much Opeth for a while...

Been listening to loads of In Flames recently though... it really makes me want to see them in concert again.

In Flames are amazing :D Well there newer stuff anyway, I'm a sucker for melodic metal, just listen to Alias for example, pure epicness :p

Going to see them in November with KsE, how are they live?

I disagree. Their newer stuff, especially the 2008 album, is quite terrible. Their older stuff is where it's at for them.

Some good melodic death metal would be In Flames, Dark Tranquility, Soilwork, At The Gates. I've never thought of TBDM as melodic death metal though.

I've been listening to a bit of DT, Soilwork and At the Gates. good stuff, but nothing that really grips me. im tired of In Flames, tbh... all their newer stuff just blends together.

See, i never thought of In Flames as melodic death metal... melodic, yes, but death? i dont think so... as for TBDM, theyre melodic and they talk about death all the time :happy:

am i confusing the definition or something?

I love the newest album, Sense of Purpose and Come Clarity I can listen to start to finish and love every song on both, I tried listening to their older stuff but there's just not enough catchy hooks or anything you can really remember or sing too. That's just my opinion though, the older albums are too death metal for me.

Well, this sucks turns out KISS is going to be in Toronto the same time as DragonForce, however tickets go on sale this Saturday and will most likely sell out the same day and I don't have the money for tickets to see KISS, so I will have to go see DragonForce as I get money at the end of the month. :(

Any Opeth fans wanna recommend some albums for me to pick up? I have about 15 tracks that I bought, but I would like to check out some full albums. I definitely want to pick up Blackwater Park, but not sure of which other ones I should get first. Any recommendations?

Still Life is their best album, so get that for sure. My Arms, Your Hearse is great. The newest one, Watershed is awesome too. Really it doesn't matter what you get 1st, as you're sure to get all of their albums anyway :p. Seriously, every single one is a masterpiece.

That's right, but if I had to get someone into Opeth I'd probably say Deliverance. And My Arms, your Hearse for Demon of The Fall!

Thanks for the input. I plan on getting Watershed as well, heard some good things about that one.

Looks like I should just go ahead and pick up them all. :p Demon of the Fall FTW for sure.

The Metal Club seems to come to the front page every few months or so, so I'm gonna try to keep it here for now...

I was listening to some Amon Amarth while I was driving tonight, and thought it might be interesting to see what everyone's favorite metal songs are? Maybe a top 3-5. I like browsing this thread to find some new bands to check out, so this may generate some interest for other bands....

Guess I'll start (hopefully I'll get some replies :p)

1. Slayer - Raining Blood

2. Amon Amarth - Death in Fire

3. Metallica - Master of Puppets

4. Pantera - Walk

5. Black Sabbath - Iron Man

I probably have left off a couple that could have made the top 5, but this is off the top of my head...

Wanted to spread the love for CC - if anyone needs introduction...the best death metal band ever =

      (macOS) Screen zoom was broken for me in beta 1 and it's now working properly in beta 2. In terms of performance and UI design/consistency, these betas are already much better than Tahoe.

      Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.
