Isn't Technical death metal technically dm?

13:37 - Marcel Hubregtse
@3rdWorld indeed Death didn't play death metal on their last couple of album, especially not on The SOund Of Perseverence.

I saw Opeth last year on their anniversary tour, seeing them again in few weeks. They are amazing live, no matter the set.

OMG this is amazing I totally missed they put out a new record [link]

Niether did Death in their last few albums, according to you. :P

11:48 - Marcel Hubregtse

10:07 - Overrwatcher
Nah, since this is Sabbath's last concert ever a lot of people only very mildly into metal came in and were dead until Opeth got them going.

There is no need to say much about Finland's Amorphis anymore. Yes, they use to play Melodic Death until 1997 then turned into a one-of-a-kind skillful heavy metal/rock band. Silent Waters is only the second album since vocalist Tomi Joutsen joined the band to replace Pasi Koskinen, following 2006's Eclipse, which was an album that surprised a lot of people by its versatility.

Very good!

I love this album. It features some of my favorite songs by the band, including the acoustic ballad "Enigma", which I actually made my own cover of using the piano and a mellotron app i bought off of iTunes.

I can't stand the fact that I discovered Amorphis only because Netta Dahlberg worked both with them and Elvenking. I feel the greatest idiot in the whole fucking world. Anyway, this album really blew me away, I discovered something I couldn't imagine. Great.

Their best album since Tales.

I am halfway through the album, and I am thoroughly enjoying it! The only song I had originally heard was Silent Waters, so I was surprised to find all the screaming and heavier songs. I really like all of it.
