You're not going to find much worth bothering with from Africa, most countries don't have much if any metal scene and I don't think the ones that do are really doing anything of note. There's a few Indian bands I've seen mentioned here and there but again nothing too great. I'm not sure why you'd want african metal anyway - just seems like novelty seeking to me.

After last night I gotta say Voivod might be the tightest live band I've ever seen. Godamn that was a set. If you even like them a tiny bit on record, they are 10 times better live.

I don't remember setlists that well but at least those five. EDIT: Also for sure they played at least one off Target Earth, and they played that new single they released, I Am Connected.

Awesome. I'm not a fan of their alt-metal/groove era (angel rat, negatron, etc) at all, but KT through Nothingface is some of my favorite music ever, so I'm definitely going to the seattle show.

I'll interview Nightwish in about 30 minutes, and then I'll listen to their upcoming album (from restricted ipod provided by the label, to be used in their presence). I'll post my impressions later.

I see some people here really concentrating and taking notes... I'm just listening to it while reading the newspaper. It's a single spin, I'm not going to review it. So far (I'm about to start the last song which is like 20 minutes long) the album is quite nice. It isn't really groundbreaking, but it sounds much better than they did with Anette Olzon, and the addition of pipes works really well. Tuomas is wearing a Darwin shirt, two of the songs in the album reference darwin, and Richard Dawkins makes an appearance as a narrator, so I'm guessing this dude discovered atheism, and is being super subtle about it.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:The album title is taken from a Darwin quote. Yes, that's what I meant too. There's a song called Endless Forms Most Beautiful, and one called The Greatest Show On Earth, a 24 minute marathon of darwin and Dawkins. I really liked the album, but the Dawkins narration in the last song, seemed a bit cringe worthy, because they really are just basic information about evolution, as well as some inspirational darwinian quotes. It's ok, just not too subtle as to what he's trying to do. It's also strange when you think that his first album had the song The Carpenter, which I always thought of as about Jesus.

I'm going to see Alestorm on Saturday at El Corazon in Seattle. Should be a sweaty and nerdy good time. Those guys put on a pretty good show from what I hear. Plus their new album is pretty much peak pirate metal, IMHO.

Even the band knows it's a silly gimmick, I'll wear my "grim and dark and evil" Darkthrone shirt though. Maybe that will balance out all the fun, because it's not like Fenriz enjoys a wide variety of genres of music or anything.

I didn't mean that. I just can't not bitch at a band that covered "hangover".

It's fascinating how posters in this forum will defend the most awful garbage in whatever genre happens to be under discussion with the excuse that it's 'just a joke' and not serious or whatever. It's the same thing that led to that pirate rap poo poo years ago. How lame do you have to be to tolerate that gimmicky bullshit? There's so much genuinely good poo poo out there and you're choosing to listen to Alestorm.7734 posted:Someone piss in your cornflakes? Alestorm is not meant to be taken serious at all.

Non gimmicky does not mean whatever kvlt grim black metal strawman you think it does. There is 'fun' metal that is also good.
