  1. It´s the first Time i ever listened to TBDM and the new Album "Ritual" is quite intriguing. But i would not call it Metalcore. It sounds more like technical and melodic old school Göteborg-Death Metal Style to me. But maybe that depends on how one does define Metalcore.

    I love the Aggressiveness and the well worked out Melodies, that never sound cheesy or cheap.

    Its probably the best Death Metal Release this Year, besides Obscura's "Omnivium" Album of course.


  2. The Concert in Cologne was awesome! They started the Gig with "Ouka Saki Some Ni Keri" and "Schwarzschild". I didn't expect such a strong Opening. They played their strongest and heaviest Songs, only one "Ballad", which i can`t remember right now and a nice Drum Solo.

    The Signing Session was fun too, shaking Hands with the Group, saying hello... Ruiza had a lot of Fun, while hide-zou seemed to be a little bit exhausted. I bought the little Flags for 10 Euros *lol* and they signed them afterwards.

    If i had known that they sell the Flags, i would have tried to learn this:

    lol


  3. "Between The Burried And Me" are truly awesome. How good they really are can be heard if you listen to Songs like "Sun Of Nothing" or "Mirrors", which show the Diversity of the Vocals as well as the Guitarplay.

    I would not call them "epic", but they sure have an Understanding of how to pull off a good Balance of progressive, brutal and melodic Elements. They even remind me of Chuck Schuldiner to some extent.The only Thing that sucks about them sometimes is when they get lost in Mathcore/Breakdown kind of shit for too long.

    I haven't heard their new EP yet, but looking forward to do so.


  4. this game is one of the only reasons to still own a wii, besides the new Zelda and DQ10 when ever those are coming out... lol

    OMG, Dragon Quest 10 for Wii/360/PS3 would be awesome! I hope they will think about doing so in the Future and make an End to this mobile Madness. I can´t stand these handheld Releases anymore...

    :ey:


  5. Yep, one of my favorite western Bands. They often tend to get excessive, but its not really that bad, writing Songs that do not repeat their Refrains over and over. I like the 70`s progressive Rock Elements and Åkerfeldts Vocals a lot. And they are awesome when playing live.

    New Album will be out at the End of the Year. They actually got a new Keyboarder, so i am curious how he will be involved during their recording Session.


  6. The only really long Songs in the japanese Department i can think of at the Moment are:

    Merry - Gekisei (15:12)

    Sound Horizon - Meiou (8:08)

    Asaki - Shinkyoku (9:26)

    Sendai Kamotsu - Otokotachi No Banka (8:31)

    Other nice Songs are:

    Opeth - The Moor (11:26)

    Opeth - In The Mist She Was Standing (14:09)

    Opeth - The Lotus Eater (8:48)

    Opeth - The Drapery Falls (10:54)

    Mirrorthrone - No One By My Side (10:26)

    Leprous - Disclosure (11:04)

    Pensées Nocturnes - Hel (9:59)

    Orakle - Limminence Du Terrible (8:09)

    Artefact - Gargoyles Unleashing (7:25)

    Todtgelichter - Moloch (8:11)

    Abigor - Time Is The Sulphur In The Veins Of The Saint - Part I (19:42) / Part II (18:30)

    to mention some of my favorite longer Tracks...


  7. I loved Enslaved from the very start. Even in the Beginning of the Black Metal Scene in Norway, they were always something special and outstanding. Even today i like these old Tunes from the "Vikingligr Veldi" and "Frost" Albums, which really gave a good impression of the harsh Nature, combined with this Viking Metal Thing.

    And i loved to see how they developed and grew up into something more mature. The progressive Elements got stronger from Album to Album and the unusual Chord Progressions in each Song transforms every new Release to something very interesting to hear. It never gets boring, because of the unpredictable songwriting.

    The "Axioma Ethica Odini" Album is their best Effort so far. But all the other Albums are great too. You have to sacrifice some Time to get into each Album, though.

    Wonderful Band!
