Finally got my hands on the American release. 2 bonus tracks and a vid to boot. Bonus.

f**k you all if you don't like them. If you've never heard them and like opera-esk metal, you might dig them.

Somebody, I think Silvermouse, sent me Nighttime Birds, which I absolutely loved. I really liked the metal background coupled with the serene vocals of the female singer.

Is the rest of their music like that, or does it have a lot of the typical harshe male screaming in it? That I don't like, and don't understand.

Opeth makes the most beautiful music, and then they go and ruin it by the guy screaming as loud as possible. They are a love and hate band, for me.

The guy on the right just had **** with a goat in the Alps, I think. He's trying to look all innocent and shit, but we know the truth.

Nighttime Birds was The Gathering, a band I like better than Nightwish. If only Nightwish didn't have opera vocals...

Anyone else bust out laughing when they read that? Opera and metal...

Granted I am out of touch with modern music, I listen to classic rock and old school jazz, but that just strikes me as a really funny combination guaranteed to produce musical horseshit.


Can we get Salsa-metal next? A bunch of Latinos jamming with a death metal band. Maybe the Gypsy Kings and Napalm Death remixed together dudes!! That would rock!!

They did 2 shows in Montreal 2 weeks ago, went with Zorlac, was very good.

Therion is another interesting band.
