Yup, I've heard a few of theirs, there's even one posted in this thread (or was it the other thread) - either RorrKonn or DMD posted one.
Have to say I prefer Behemoth, both the sound and the style, I'm not sure what it's technically called, but I like Doom Metal crossed with Death Metal, and the more melodic it is, the better, just as long as the chords stay dramatic and doomy sounding - happy sounding Metal just doesn't work for me - don't like it. I don't know what you four would make of this album (Psalms for The Dead) but I quite like it, almost all the songs on it are either good or decent (and the audio aspect is good as well). The only thing that's not ideal is the vocal, it's ok, but I'd love to hear an album like this but with a more growly vocal - that would be awesome - a vocal somewhere between Death Metal and, well, I dunno, standard Metal if there is such a thing (like I said, I'm clueless regards all that genre stuff):
But I'm pretty new to all this Metal stuff, I really only started getting into it a few years ago, and to be honest, I was never really a fan of it at all before then. I don't know what happened exactly, but I think it was a combination of a conversation I had with someone I enjoyed discussing with on DAZ, combined with a video I saw that got me into it. I used to see Metal as an excuse for not being able to play (lol), and I think that might be what subconsciously kept me away from it. Of course, I then came across a video about Death Metal (I think it was Death Metal), and gained a lot of respect for what they do after that. I couldn't have been more wrong if I tired, those Metal artists are insanely talented, the speed they play, the riffs etc - bloody hell. So I started listening to more and more of it, and then stumbled upon one of Infidelamsterdam's videos and have been interested in Metal ever since. I look forward to his videos every week, month, or whatever, seeing his Metal reviews, especially those new Vinyl Release specials he does, and not forgetting "Baldrick" of course (lol).
Anyway, crap, I'm rabbiting-on again.
