Eh, I still have faith in Jari. We'll see how it goes.
Also, new Katatonia is out. I've kinda lost interest in them the last few years, but I've been itching for some good doom lately, so I figure I'll give it a try.

Re: Metal Thread VII: The Mosh Pit Don't Start 'Til We Walk In
Yeah, I don't really mind waiting for the new album. I've become a fan of Necrophagist over the years so I know all about waiting and disappointment. :smalltongue:

By the way, in the event of a tie, I'm giving the win to the higher seeded album. Call it 'home court advantage' if you will.

Pretty sure that's just you kneeing them in the head, and thus it is the fiftieth time you've done that to other people. :smalltongue: You got me intrigued by Embers so I looked them up on the youtubes (link for the lazy). Sounds promising.
By the way, people, voting for Round 1 ends tomorrow. Match-ups are here.

Glad you're into Embers, though. That album is one of the best albums I've come across lately in the black metal genre.
I considered it, but what if you were one of those people who always plays the victim? 'Skulls are much harder than kneecaps - I could've been seriously injured!'
It's good to know that that isn't the case and that, instead, you're just an... incredibly violent mosher.

RW, while a pirate legend, are also less monothematic.
Still awesome, though.

if you want violent moshing come to a paris hardcore show
i had the singer screaming "I F***ING HATE YOU" in my face and then he headbutted me
that was a pretty awesome night
the weird thing about the paris metal scene is that we mosh like monsters and get pretty banged up
and then in between sets give each other man hugs and share beers :P

Been listening to Diablo Swing Orchestra recently, and I find them pretty freaking awesome. They're... Swing Metal? It's easier if you just listen to them, as I can't think of an applicable genre.
