The terms "walking" and "talking" in this article are not completely literal. Think about it in terms of the expression "If you're going to talk the talk, you'd best walk the walk".

There are two types of people in this world, walkers and talkers. Walkers are the ones who get things done and save the talking for later, like a treat to be savored. Talkers are not exactly the opposite, but many of them enjoy illustrating grand schemes and designs without ever going forth with these plans, or at least not following through with them. The following paragraphs enumerate the…

Good lord. Yay! Scrobbles for shit I haven't been listening to! /palm

Fri 10 Dec – Rites of Darkness II

Only got to go to the 2nd day of this awesome thing… this was the first show I've ever been to, and to say it was awesome would be an understatement. The atmosphere was perfect, and the bands were all varying shades of awesome, all killer no filler. I guess I will do this band by band.. let's see..

Obeisance- I didn't actually SEE these dudes since I was browsing merch outside (I snagged the last Tribulation shirt and a copy of Sigh's latest album..should have brought more monies) but I could…

Here it IS!

The Birthday Massacre- Awesome band, hard to describe them, really.
Thrushes- Awesome dream pop with great drumming and vocals.
Scarling.- Jessicka's project after JoJ, soooo great.
School of Seven Bells- No idea. Very good though.
The Coat Hangers - Hilarious, also hard to describe.
She- Awesome electronica.
Emilie Autumn- Industrial with violins. Great!
Giraffes? Giraffes!- Absolute genius.
The Octopus Project- Experimental electronic music that I find to be…cute.
Black Moth Super Rainbow- Awesome, did a collaboration with The Octopus Project
My Bloody Valentine- Very odd. I liken…

Damn, this is perhaps the best Death Metal I have ever heard in my life. Everything is really catchy and, although the lyrics are totally racist, this band still kicks major ass. Now I am wondering, "What the hell have I been listening to all this time?" Not that what I have been listenening to is bad by any means, but the fact I overlooked something as amazing as this for so long baffles me. Arghoslent is definitely up there with the likes of Morbid Angel, Atheist, and early Amorphis.

They are truly talented and I cannot…

Kyuss is, as many people know, one of the most important pioneers of the stoner metal genre. And I love them. Everything they ever released has proven to be really fun to listen to, and even their weakest offering is what many doom/stoner metal bands strive to be like today (i.e, Bongzilla and Bongripper). As awesome as Kyuss is, though, I think Sleep and Electric Wizard are really awesome too.

I have yet to find a bad band in this genre… it's like you have TRY to find the bad stuff, which is why the genre is so great.…

I am one of the very few people who haven't been exposed to the likes of Emmure or Trivium, Slipknot, or any other garbage before digging into the real stuff. What got me into metal was the songTwilight Of the Thunder God, a pretty decent tune…

Later, on this very same visit of Youtube, I discovered the likes of Windir, Borknagar, and Ensiferum, all three very excellent bands that are quite amazing. Now, what I don't understand is the problem with people listening to this horrible -core music that essentially waters down the metal with repeated…
