My wife is pretty tolerant wrt metal, but I think I've discovered that Finnish folk metal pushes her limits like few others. I was playing the new Ensiferum single linked on Adrien's MSN blog and as the instumental intro started I got the stinkeye and, "what the fuck are you listening?". Then the vocals kicked in, "seriously, what the fuck is that?".

Ha ha, my wife is just pissed off because the new Baroness album isn't as good to jog to as their last two (which she loved.)

When I joined my band(which had a different name prior, that changed due to my influence), she said I ruined that band. That they were good before, now they are just depressing... lol!

My girlfriend is a rocker.
At the Decibel tour show, she leaned over to me during the first Ghost song and said "they totally stole a riff from Angel Witch!"
Then later when Ghost covered "Here Comes the Sun" and I said "nice Beatles cover" and she would have had no idea if I hadn't pointed it out to her.

Don't get me wrong.. once the Hellbeard record was done and out and she saw the complete transformation, she got it... She's the rsddest chick ever. Never once has sweated me about my music stuff, something most chicks would have a fit over.. And she cooks brilliantly and has nice fat ass!!! LOL!
I WIN!!

Witchcraft have revealed the cover art of the band's forthcoming album, LEGEND, which marks the bands first after a long 5 year hiatus.
https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/531422_464739473538243_2061204487_n.jpg
Commented singer/mainman Magnus Pelander: "A friend of mine had an idea about a cover for LEGEND. I developed the idea and gave it back to my friend who then passed it on to another friend who happened to be a designer. The designer then pushed it in a new direct...ion. The result is already legendary."
Bass player Ola Henriksson adds: "The album cover is meant to reflect the music and I think it does that with its heavy, dark & clean design."
LEGEND will be released September 21st (Nuclear Blast EUROPE) and September 25, 2012 (Nuclear Blast USA)

this King Of Asgard album isn't strictly my kind of thing but I feel like it does these blackened Viking-y moves with a lot of panache and in a way that some folks on here would like

That was actually pretty interesting – not surprising, necessarily, but funny that the "stereotypical" correlations are true.

Also, it's nice to have statistical proof that metal is the best genre.

Some members of that Salem scene were in a terrible black metal band that used to incessantly ask me to put them in support slots for WITTR, Agalloch, et al. I refused because they were really unprofessional. Now they don't like me.
I think they found a positive outlet for their hatred, though.

I was admittedly nervous for a second, then I realized that they'd posted the video back in February. And I took the liberty of immediately "liking" their FB page and posting a big thank you on their wall.

agalloch show was awesome and 2+ hrs long and i also really liked taurus! great screaming, perfect tempo for grading papers (this is a compliment). i also saw ilx user stormy davis there and did not see blackironprison or nate, both of whom i have seen at the previous two chicago agalloch shows. did buy faustian echoes, love it.
the end.

Just announced my very limited seven date US run for Primordial, While Heaven Wept, and Cormorant.
If you're lucky enough to make it to the show in Charlotte, NC, this tour cross paths to combine with the Vektor trip.
See some of you on the east coast in September :)

I am probably the only person who is bummed that Primordial is happening the same day Bob Mould is in town doing "Copper Blue."
