Icarus, I'd be interested in looking over that post-hardcore list.

I hardly think that pondering about a relatively new look is the same as being clueless about corpse-paint

Fearmaster has turned hating on me into a daily job. Get off my lawn, ya whippersnapper

Yeah the guys went around trapping gods with vacuum cleaners and charming women with inaccurate statements about old school death metal.

godbusters... isn't that a movie from the 80's?

01:45 - Ilham
No, that would be black metal. But that doesn't exist, stop godbustering Johan.

dark metal and corpus paint is fun

When it comes to melodic death metal, Kalmah are a band not known by too many people. And for those people who know them there are a lot of different opinions. They are often compared to CoB and Norther because of the clear facts that make these bands stand out somehow: One, they are all from Finland and two, they all play melodic death metal. Anyone who has bothered taking a look still knows the differences between bands and describing them here would be impossible, a song can tell you more than thousand words.
