Jigsaw9 reacted to Bear in グリーヴァ(Grieva) new maxi single & mini album release
As long as a band manage to keep up the quality there's nothing wrong with releasing a shitload of albums, EPs and singles in a short period of time.
Njiqahdda released 8 albums and 4 EPs (all well over 30 miuntes long) from 2007 to 2009 and the majority of this material is of very, very high quality. And in this time the two members also released 4 albums and 1 EP with their band Oaks of Bethel and 1 EP with their band Funeral Eclipse. There's nothing wrong with releasing this much if you fully capable of keeping the quality up. The only problem with doing something like this is that it is hard to keep up with the releases, but I've got all the time in the world so it's nothing but joy IMO.

I might check out Dissection then, thanks!
Also thanks for reminding me of Hypocrisy... last year I started checking them out more in-depth (I had only seen a couple videos before) and quite liked what I heard! Nothing fancy but all-around solid stuff with a captivating atmosphere. Then my interest kinda fizzled out but I might listen to more of their stuff soon as I'm on an extreme metal kick lately anyway.

The first album is a melodic black metal album, the second is a mixture of melodic black and melodic death metal and the last one is a melodic death metal album. The two first are pure 6/6 albums in my eyes. Fantastic albums in every way possible.
Hypocrisy should also be mentioned. Abducted and The Final Chapter are both fantastic melodic death metal albums where they manage to mix death metal with melodies. Both are classics!

It seems we both have the same problem with typical melo-death then. xD
Also, I've never listened to Dissection before but these tracks seem pretty fine! I was always under the impression they were black metal (or always read about them in this context) but I can kinda see/hear this "melodic extreme metal" you were going for.

Allright, fair enough. I'm not the biggest fan of meloic death metal myself, but I love a lot of the early bands within the genre, in the times before melodic death metal was synonymous with melodic extreme metal. The lack of death metal in melodic death metal is my main problem with the genre. Most bands fail to blend the melodic aspect of the music with the brutality and heaviness of death metal, and that's a problem.
Dissection's Reinkaos is recommended. Completely different from their earlier stuff, and much more in common with mid 90's In Flames, just a lot darker, yet catchy as fuck.

Jigsaw9 got a reaction from nullmoon in MH FEATURED POLL #1: What's your favorite DIR EN GREY album?
This is a tough question as I like almost each of them, depending on mood. I went with THE MARROW OF A BONE because I suspect it will get close to no votes. XD ...and because it was such a "tangible" experience for me, since that was the first DEG album I actually purchased at the time it was released, and that's when I saw the band live for the first time and the trip (and of course the gig itself) brings back good memories whenever I put on this album.
Other top favs would've been MACABRE or UROBOROS.

Jigsaw9 reacted to Ro plz in Crossfaith major debut & new single "MADNESS" release
I mentioned this before in the bands thread, CROSSFAITH is officially done trying at this point. Everything up to ZION was them trying their best to make it in American mainstream metal. Now that they've done that, they just don't feel like putting much effort in their material anymore. Their last album and this song is a total disappointment. However, my final judgement on this band will be made once they drop this new album. This could very well just be a crap-tier single for an album that may blow us away or at least will be a step up from what they've been doing.

Jigsaw9 reacted to doombox in Crossfaith major debut & new single "MADNESS" release
After all the effort they've made to be a part of the global metal community this is just, I don't know what they are thinking. I can hang with this new lighter sound but a lot of people are gonna be upset that they keep moving in this direction and I can certainly understand why. I mean this is getting into like... hard rock territory. :/ Waiting to hear the other songs on this release, maybe it's just the lead track by the sounds of some of the other comments.
