Necrophagist. Awesome.

Saw Motorhead last night with Rose Tattoo and Airbourne,

Very nice =D

Egads, fucking Opeth album is an albumwrap. CURSES!

EDIT:

Carcass confirmed for Wacken. :O

[Ton]

Entire new Exodus album up for streaming on their myspace, fucking awesome.

[Dr Mario]

The new Electric Wizard album has leaked. It's pretty good.

A little too on the modern side (especially the production..) Though from what little I heard so far, it isn't too bad. Definitely better than Shovel Headed Kill Machine.

Aaah, can't fucking wait!

[SA-X]

I suppose I should listen to Ayreon, I haven't bothered to =/

Any recommendations?

Listening to Carcass again, after hearing one or two songs a year or two again. This'll be pretty awesome at Wacken ^__^

For those who like doom/symphonic metal, listen Sobre Nocturne. They liberated an album for dl in their site.

Not my cup of tea, to be honest. Yet another band that's overdosed on the symphonics and forgotten how to write a compelling riff. Not that the songs are bad, just rather pedestrian aside from the soft sections which are admittedly very well done.

Not that I dislike symphonies or thinking outside the box (Haggard made some great albums in this style and Profanum Aeternum should be required listening for anyone who decries classical leanings in their metal) but if they're going to put that much emphasis on the choirs and symphonies, they should the full Profanum route and phase out the typical metal instruments entirely.

Well i liked. I like symphonic/doom/gothic metal. But i think their style is different
from Haggard. Haggard is classical + metal. Sobre Nocturne is more doom with classical influence.
But its my opinion, and it can vary from people to people.

[Dr Mario]

I don't really hear the Doom in their music. I hear a lot of "epic" metal influence in the songwriting ala Nightwish, Within Temptation and a few of the more pretenious power metal bands, but very little gothic/doom sound and nothing resembling any of the older Doom styles.

[dark_sephiroth]

yeah, maybe but i don't think they sound like nightwish, or other shit like that.
The lyrics aproach more like therion's.

So who's going to Wacken in 2008 then? Carcass, Iron Miaden and At The Gates (not my cup of tea)?

Me. You all should come, and we should set up an EP camp.

And how could you miss out Avantasia and Sonata Arctica?
