    Yeah, AILD is awesome. It's a shame though, I saw them back at SOTU 2006 and only really knew a few songs off shadows are security. They have slowly become my favorite band over the past year and now I can't wait to see them again. I'm not as much a fan of their older stuff, I mean I like it, it's just not nearly as good as their new stuff imo. Shadows are Security is one of the best albums I've ever heard, it's just perfect the way everything comes together. I'm especially fond of the percussion work, it's just freaking awesome.

    If you like AILD, then I suggest you check out Zao. They are in my top 4 bands of all time with Thrice, Converge, and Darkthrone, plus Libarte and Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest are both amazing albums.

    And because I'm confused by the YouTube tags, I'm just going to post this link of them playing Back In Black (ACDC) and Autopsy, which is their own song, live. I wouldn't say that either of these song represent the band's sound, but it is fucking cool.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY3pEsccpb8

    Check out Fear Is What Keeps Us Here while you're at it and be in awe of Jeff's crazy drumming. A shame he's no longer in the band, though.

    I haven't met too many Nazis I like, either.

    I'm listening to Still Life by Opeth now, and I gotta say, they never fail to impress.

    IMO, My Arms Your Hearse is BY FAR their best album.

    Black Market Hero (Flaw, 40 Below Summer, Confliction) is a pretty good metal band, IMO. I'm looking forward to their debut.

    No! But I should have seen them opening for Fear Factory. Why the fuck didn't I go?

    Anyways, are they any good live?

    1) Good question, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU GO???

    2) Fuck to the Yes!!!


    Frank Mullen is a fucking lunatic onstage, the whole band is amazing live, and the Fear Factory tour was great. Hypocrisy had some of the best live vocals I've ever heard and their dual leads were great. Decapitated's singer looked fucking evil. And FF was on the top of their game, even though Christian Olde Wolbers was a jackass.

    Cool, I was never sure if Death Metal could be kick ass live. It seems like it would be or it would be too serious and suck.

    Oh, and http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/reviews.cfm/id/1054/page/top____most_ridiculous_black_metal_pics_of_all_time.html is fucking hilarious. Part two is also good, but the best/worst albums are way off. Sorry for the homophobic language, I was first offended too, but it's so fucking good!

    "Damn right these guys look old. They're all fucking bald! Did Crowbar turn into a black metal band when I wasn't looking?"

    For whatever reason, Shadows Fall tend to piss me off, as do Dragonforce and Trivium.
