"Hi veteran vocalist of a 10+ year band that is incredibly well respected and produced maybe one of the greatest melodic death metal albums of all time. How dare you imply that I am not the godhead of a new metal revolution, and should take myself less seriously!"
On this topic; I am of the general opinion that live shows suck when the band is all srs bsns. This is unfortunate since so many metal bands do this and it prevents them from putting on an awesome show as opposed to a good show. Yes I know you can swear like a sailor, but it really doesn't add anything.

Same here. You guys are getting to play to an audience and rock out in front of tons of excited fans.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm starting my journey into the Realms of Chaos and if I don't return... then it's been nice knowing you.
I'll join you on that trip. My interest in Bolt Thrower has been piqued.
Blood for the Blood God!
You guys should hear the Sabbat (UK, not Japan) song "Blood for the Blood God". It came on a flexi-disc in a White Dwarf Magazine one month, a few decades ago. Great song. Some of the Games Workshop artists also contributed art to their first two albums (they never did any 40k stuff really though). So Bolt Thrower wasn't the only Warhammer related metal band; Sabbat did it first by a few years.
See, that makes sense. I guess I'm more irritated by people who jump on the 'it's cool to hate metal band X' bandwagon (mostly because both my guitarists are like that). But disliking them because you actually don't like them is totally logical.
I am the complete antithesis of cool. After all, I am the one who thought Cold Lake was a great Celtic Frost album...

What is it with bands who wear their own merchandise on stage and in photographs? Yea, we know you are if we're at your show.
I was just reminded of this annoying habit when I came across a Suicidal Tendencies video and Muir and the rest of his cholo douchebag band are on stage, decked out in ST merchandise from basketball jerseys to shorts to a bandana.
Get fucked, that is horrible.

Any band that wears their own shirts for shows/photos should probably be avoided.

A 2008 album I'm surprised no one mentioned on their list, including myself, is that last album from Canvas Solaris.

Actually, that one cover reminds me of a rejected Blood Mountain cover.
Or would have been a rejected Blood Mountain cover.

This one of the three songs I actually like from them. Mainly because this one actually has a decent message to it and it's catchy.

So I just realised that Rebellion is releasing the third part of The History of the Vikings in April/May. For those not familiar with the first two parts The History of the Vikings trio isn't really about Viking history, but about how much ass is kicked in Norse mythology. I request autothrall's input on this subject.
New Deathstars is out, but there's something wrong with my copy, so I'm gonna wait to check it out. Sounds like they're overstaying their welcome, though. Those "riffs" are getting pretty stale.
hey, does anyone have any links to the old threads we had? I'd like to have a list of those in the op, since I know I like to go back and see what albums we were talking about.

There's a good chance most of them have been bumped off the forum.

It's power metal, so take the lyrics with a grain of salt. Power metal concept albums are usually more of a fantasized 'tribute' to their subject matter than based on any true historical perspective. However, Rebellion seems to have researched numerous historical figures and folktales so I would say that these concept albums are slightly more accurate. Norse mythology is very important to the Viking lore but it seems this is about the Vikings themselves, and their eventual subjugation and assimilation. Miklagard was indeed pretty awesome.
Expect more lyrics like:
Come Skald sit thee with us and tell us of the past
The deeds of viking warriors in your songs they'll ever last
We long to hear of Hakon, the Earl of Norway's shores
Or how he killed the Gravskin and stood the Jomsburg force
He was born the son of Sigurd, his father stabbed by royal hands
He escaped and turned a viking, his frame spread across the lands
And on the day he faced the Gravskin, anger wished just like a burning flood
Hakon the maker of widows taking lives as his blade drinks blood
The fish return now into the fjord, the harvest rich Hakon we hail thy sword
Raising temples where a church did stand. Odin smiles to praise the land
Sword in the storm, the rock in the battle
Hakon you stand and be Odin thy guide
Strong be thy arm, oh sword in the storm
Thor grant you strength to defend what is right
And when the viking of the Jomsburg set their sails against our shores
Strong in numbers famous heroes, Hakon you fought them to the core
And in the middle of the bloodshed, standing strong I saw your hands reach for the sky
Calling for help in the turmoil, Odin took your son as a sacrifice
The fish return now into the fjord, the harvest rich Hakon we hail thy sword
Raising temples where a church did stand. Odin smiles to praise the land
Sword in the storm, the rock in the battle
Hakon you stand and be Odin thy guide
Strong be thy arm, oh sword in the storm
Thor grant you strength to defend what is right
But in the end of people asked for the reign of a christian king
Betraying Hakon they soon forgot the good his rule did bring
In his sleep, killed by a thrall a hero's bitter end
Trygve's son was to succeed to rule the Northern Land
That's what it looks like to me. I can't find anything in between the Blood Fire Update and our previous thread.
New Yob would be excellent, especially after that Wisconsin fucking abortion of existence ruined Middian. Fucking breeders, they've got their shit coming, one way or another.

The group was sued by a Wisconsin-based band named Midian due to the similarity in names. Midian had never played out of their state and had no albums released. As a result, the band that got sued, Middian, got dropped from their Metal Blade Records and to pick up the moniker "Age Eternal", after their album of the same name.

What bullshit.
It makes me so goddamn pissed off, especially since Middian's debut was pretty brilliant. I...ARGH HATE HATE HATE
I once shouted angrily at an ice maintenance kid wearing a Trivium shirt at a hockey game but I think my cries were lost amidst the wall of drunken screaming polluting the air.
If you blokes weren't aware already, Realm of Chaos' album art was actually supplied by Games Workshop, and an ex-designer did the art for the follow-up, Warmaster. Warhammer was a pretty big influence on these albums.
also, don't ever buy any Bolt Thrower stuff from Earache. If you need the cds (shirts are impossible to get ), either go with Metal Blade or get used. Earache are still fucking them over with unapproved releases and they're not even signed to them.
Earache sound like a bunch of cunts, between this and their part in destroying TOOH

I don't think threads get deleted after an amount of newer threads/posts, I can't remember where any of the discussions about this are though
I think there were erm unpleasantries associated with the metal threads, possibly causing them to be erased from memory, but that was before I joined so I'm not really sure. And yes, Earache are not good peoples, indeed.
I just got back from seeing a pretty good small black metal band in Santa Cruz and found a bunch of new electronic music to check out, so I'm stoked. Oh, and I got the new Leviathan album for the friend I was with at one of the record stores then, whereupon someone else informed me that Wrest is a tattoo artist in the area that I live. I have been working on tat ides for a while...:D Oh, and the whole deal with Leviathan going under isn't the end, he's just going to do work solely under the Lurkers of Chalice name from what I can tell.

Take those shirts and patches off...what the fuck is this?
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
Or would have been a rejected Blood Mountain cover.
Lights...Camera...Revolution is a good melodic speed metal/thrash album. Very catchy. Their old punk/hardcore stuff is also fun.
I met them and they were pretty cool guys as well. Mike Muir is tiny IRL.
Otherwise....I have no defense for them.

Also, I listened to Killing Technology in the car with my new GF a few weeks ago and she admitted it was cool. HOW ABOUT THAT.
Normally I'm not so much into the fan videos, but this one just made me smile
Chainsaw dueling and log drumming included.
If the band had actually used this as an official video, they would have had my heartfelt respect forever.
So, have we ever thought about doing a top metal videos list? It would at least be amusing, though I realize they are pretty much all terrible.
