No, it's because you came into a metal discussion thread that's been going on for years and were shocked that people weren't talking about stuff that most of us discovered in high school and have moved on from. Then your response to all of that was effectively "that's just your opinion, man," thus contributing even less to the discussion then you would by posting "Have you guys heard of Deicide???" and leaving.

I only posted some things that I have liked forever. It was met with rude comments. Whatever though. I thought I had found some like minded metal heads. I was wrong. I found mostly a closed group that don't like "the new guy." It's cool though, it's not like any of this is important in my life anyway.

Just to be clear (and this is more for other people in the thread than for this dude), the group doesn't dislike "the new guy", they dislike "the annoying guy who won't shut the gently caress up and posts constantly and rolls with the punches any time someone criticizes him". For good reason!

The entire premise of this site is to mock things. That extends to the forums, where 99% of the userbase, including the moderators, insults each other on a daily basis. If you can't deal with ribbing, you probably should've lurked more before paying money to join in on it.

I met Alex Webster from CC last month, he was a really cool guy. He introduced me to his friend that used to be in CC and Origin. We pretty much shot the poo poo on metal and the bass for a while (I play an instrument~)

You must be referring to Jeremy Turner. He never did any studio work with them, but filled in on some tours when (I believe) Rob Barrett couldn't make them. The dude is a crazy guitarist and I saw him play bass with Unmerciful back in July.

Just got back in from Steel Panther and Judas Priest, good poo poo. Gotta say Steel Panther surprised me with how solid they are live. Good schtick and would watch again.

Priest is Priest. It's the first time I've seen them and the guys sans Richie are really obviously getting up there but I still loved it so much. Was kinda worried that Rob was having a really bad night until I caught that he was trying to get his monitor turned up, and from then on it was solid. Also: I love Rob's costume changes.

Was one awesome dude up in the balcony who was air drumming the whole time Priest was playing and when Scott whipped a stick up to the guy at the end of the night the crowd cheered :hellyeah:

My only gripe is that I feel like the band is chasing this hyper precise drumming that so many metal bands are going for these days with blastbeats and drumming in general. Like I understand the need to make the music intense, but it ends up feeling mechanical to me. Like if you told me that this was done by a drum machine I would totally believe you.

The intro didn't really do much for me, but the rest of the song was killer. I guess I'm at the point where the hyper precise tech death riff doesn't do it for me the way that it used to.

I'm really looking forward to this album.

hey man! I'm actually the drummer from NeO and stumbled on this. I worked extremely hard for years to be able to execute the stuff on this record. Yes it's edited like any record, but for the most part it's very natural, and if you happen to come to a live show (please do and come say whats up) I try to be really accurate with the records execution.

I think Jeremy Turner was in the studio with Origin for Antithesis? Or maybe I just think that cause that's around the time he did a lot of touring with them but yeah he killed it live when I saw them back when (they all did, Origin are awesome).

Steve Asheim claimed that Once Upon the Cross was played a lot slower because they wrote all the material and it was only 22 minutes long so they just slowed down to drag it out.

You would think they would've timed it before hand or something but I'm not Deicide.

I've listened to some of the new Ne Obliviscaris streaming tracks a couple times now, having gone back after reading positive things about it to see if it will click with me but it just doesn't. They're obviously great musicians that have put a lot of time and thought into their work. Lots of well-arranged layers, some effective counterpoint, but none of it grabs me. I also think it would be better entirely stripped of the clean vocals and that the violin generally doesn't add much to the compositions. Mostly it just makes me feel impatient. I hate to write a bunch of words just to poo poo on something that the artists presumably put their heart into but I'm stuck wondering if I'm all alone here?

I haven't listened to the Ne Obliviscaris stream, so I can't quite comment on what it is they do, but I completely understand what you are talking about with all the arranged layers and what-not. That type of heavy metal just does not do it for me at all in the past five years or so just because a lot of bands try to cram in as much poo poo as possible and think that adding more elements is what will finally push the album over the top, when in fact it turns it into an unbearable mess that will never be able to be replicated well in a live setting.

It's a huge reason why I've just been going with bands/albums that are so much simpler in terms of arrangements because then I actually have something to focus on and critique rather than try and put together some auditory puzzle that's eventually going to annoy the hell out of me.

The fact that Portal of I is so incredibly busy is part of what gives it a sweeping and magical feeling for me. For a while, the amount of poo poo going on struck me as flashy and annoying, but honestly it's one of the things I most like about the album now. I still occasionally notice new things on my twentieth listen, little bits of guitar interplay and what have you. This is why I'm not going to discount Citadel even though my initial impressions of it weren't amazing - they make music that takes a lot of time to get a complete impression of.

I've got nothing but respect for the musicianship of NeO, especially the drumming. I still stand by my previous statement, but that doesn't detract at all from how awesome the song are themselves. It's just my personal preference at this point in time. I can assure you that my opinion will probably change the more I listen to the album and pick up on the subtleties in the mix. I think that's the best thing about progressive metal is that you keep hearing new things every time you listen to the record.

If you're playing near the Atlanta, GA area in the States, I will certainly be at the show! I'm sure that the drumming will be as tight as it is on the album.
