    I find Reroute to Remain not so bad. But yeah, "not bad", it's different from "good", and after Reroute, I can say neither that.

    Anyway, I've just listened spellblast. (Don't expect nothing original, mind you)

    bands that drag on lose the magic

    they finished before they could drag on and start releasing crap with their name on it

    Finally, some free time!

    @grimbold: Lemme know how your school project turns out ;)

    @In Flames: Yeah, they were good up until and including Clay Man. Soilwork were good up until and including Natural Born Chaos for me.

    Afterwards the sound of both bands went too much into another direction.

    IF are my showcase object for evolving _away_ from their sound, while I always cite Dark Tranquillity as a band that evolved their sound further. I hope this makes sense outside of my own head.

    Also: Darkane - Opinions?

    @In Flames: I never really got into In Flames to be honest. It's not that I dislike them, I just never thought of them as anything special. They're the sort of band I'd listen to if they came on the radio. There are many other Melodeath bands I prefer.

    Also, opinions? Found them a couple of days ago. Pretty damn awesome methinks.

    @ Darkane, they seem pretty good but a bit unoriginal, still i approve, the video scared me
    @ Crowbar, this band seems a bit more original than Darkane, its like Death Sludge Metal, in short, pretty cool

    They're the first sludge band I've heard that bothered harmonizing guitars, or at least doing it on a "single". Can a metal band that isn't shooting for commercial success have a single? *shrug*

And I really like their cover of SOAD's Aerials. That was one of my favorite songs growing up and I think they did a really good job of playing it as a melodeath song.
    I dont think I really want to buy that album because... it sounds like it will be exactly like their last two albums, which are great, but 3 albums of the same band playing the same song over and over again.. sucks.

    So, just for fun: favorite metal instrumental?

    I'd personally have to go with Chaos, by Ayreon.

    Death Rides A Horse.

    Of course, that may not be in the spirit of your request, because every Russian Circles song is an instrumental.

    There are a couple of other instrumentals by bands that normally employ singers that I enjoy, though. Like Sons of Thunder.

    Wayfaerer by In Flames is my favorite instrumental. It's pretty good most of the way through and then gets completely awesome at 2:45.

    My second favorite instrumental would by Orion by Metallica.

    I don't consider Van Halen metal; he's straight up hard-rock, especially the fist album. That's, of course, a matter of opinion, and there's no question he influenced basically everyone who came after, but there it is.

    Eruption is an awesome solo, and I DO consider it metal, but it's not the best instrumental IMO.

    A good metal instrumental ?

    I like Blind Guardian's Beyond The Ice (from Follow The Blind).

    And Scott Columbus died ? Man, Sign of the Hammer was the album that got me into metal. Well, R.I.P. metal in Valhalla, brother ! \m/

    Well... crap. I've really enjoyed his playing, and his stage presence and vocals have been spot on too in every Opeth video I've seen and the one concert I've been to.
    Still, I'm pretty confident they'll find a good replacement.

    Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) by Metallica. Really, it's a Cliff Burton vehicle, but was released by the band.

    I'm a thrash/NWOBHM/traditional revival listener mostly, so I fall pretty strongly on the /megadeth side of the Metallica/Megadeth split, but I've always thought Cliff absolutely fantastic, so...

    I just bought tickets last night to see Rammstein in concert. Floor tickets, so I will be embracing the moshpit. Their music is decent-good, but I'm really looking forward to the pyro show! Metal just isn't metal without 15' tall jets of flame everywhere...

    As far as metal instrumentals...you guys know about Ryashon? I recommend Becoming the Storm and The Skeletorium. All their music is vocal-free.
