Apologies for the double post, but this is so loving awesome that it's worthy of a double post.

Holy gently caress. Why I haven't I listened to Vader before? GET ME UP TO SPEED PEOPLE.
As another late boarder of the Vader train (heard their previous album Welcome to the Morbid Reich and basically had the same reaction as you now), I can confirm what Defiant Sally said above EDIT: on the last page. Just get any and all of it.

Also, jesus gently caress this new song rules. My chest hair just grew a beard.

EDIT 2: Out of morbid curiosity, I checked out that goddamn LoL band, and... this is actually pretty good. What the hell. :psyduck: Also, didn't expect Jörn Lande, but then that guy is everywhere, so maybe I should've.

The one time I saw them, there were a few dudes dressed up but it didn't seem nearly as prevalent as at something like Paganfest. Mostly your standard band shirts and jeans.

Somehow Vader, just like Enslaved, keep getting better with time. 90% of metal bands go the opposite direction, but not these motherfuckers.

An adult Small might fit, depending on how big a kid he is. May have better luck with that at 10 or 11 though unless he's tall. Maybe get it and hope the dryer gives it a little shrink? I'm not finding any kid size stuff either... most bands don't have them, or at least most metal bands don't.

He doesn't just go to Amon Amarth shows, that guy shows up in that poo poo to a LOT of metal shows. I wish I could remember what band it was I saw where he was there. Unfortunately I was a bit drunk and this was a few years ago. My brother (he lived in NC for a while before going to Charleston SC) told me he saw that guy at least twice a year.

Went to see Blood Ceremony, Behemoth, Carcass, Slayer, Iron Maiden, and some other stuff in the Netherlands yesterday. It was awesome, especially happy with the shows put on by Blood Ceremony and Iron Maiden. Behemoth was unexpectedly quite disappointing live, but that could've been due to the fact that we were quite far away from the stage.

Yeah dude, they were insanely good. I never get into the pit, but I'll be damned if I didn't jump in there for "Merciless Death" and "Death is Certain (Life is Not)". It was a killer time.

I loved Weather Systems, even though it was the furthest possible thing from metal. The live album they put out that was largely songs from that album was supposed to be amazing as well, heard some tracks but never the whole thing. I wonder why they stuck to the Anathema name after that first batch of albums.

I hadn't been keeping up with the band for a while but it was nice to finally see the tone of an Anathema album go from bleak and depressing to somewhat hopeful.

Listening to Vader the last couple years, I have quite quickly come to the conclusion that Peter Wiwczarek is one of my favourite death metal vocalists. His roaring is badass as all bloody hell. Can't think of anyone who really sounds anything like him.

Deserves to be quoted again.

Anyway, Arkona released their album Явь (Yav/Jav) at the end of last April (2014). I don't know if anyone noticed, but it's interesting. If I summarized it, I would just say look at the album cover, and that's pretty much the mood of this album. I am kind of torn, personally. The album takes a darker tone overall which fits well with their folk style, but the vocals sound less distinctive. I thought Arkhipova's voice was masterful at switching between clean and harsh vocals, but this album has a middle-ground that I am not too keen on. Overall some songs seem really generic, and some are very unique. I listened to their epic (13min) song and it was nowhere as good as their other epics like На моей земле.



Here is a shorter song that I thought was pretty good. I recommend listening to the entire album yourself, though, and not to judge it off of one song.

Also, Turisas's violinist/fiddler is featured in this album.

He had been pretty open about his many close calls so its not a huge surprise but I like to think that dying of a heroin overdose as a rock god is much like dying in battle as a viking. At least he died on top and doing what he loved... heroin.
