Hi MMA

Thanks, everyone!  I'm a bit slow to get into the forum so far but I'm keen to whip up a couple of reviews, and it's sapping my free time, but thanks for the welcome!

Thanks 

Metal was first, probably because I was playing in metal and metal-ish bands through high school and on. Jazz came later, when I felt like a change and now it's stuck, but metal remains deep in the soul.  How about you?

UMUR wrote: Yeah they tread the fine line really well. Successfully putting humour in metal is always a hard balance to strike. I like the sarcasm and even the at times "fart humour" approach of Type O Negative.   ...about Meshuggah I purchased "Contradictions Collapse" on vinyl (second hand) back in the early nineties and I purchased "Destroy Erase Improve" upon release. But I was actually never much of a fan and didn�t listen to anymore of their releases until I saw them live in 2005. That experience completely changed my perspective of them, and I�ve become quite a big fan of their music since. I�ll even go as far as to call myself a fanboy at this point

I feel a bit the same, after seeing them live I went back to albums, and now 'Destroy Erase Improve' is one of my favs. I'm not quite at fanboy level, but I like them a lot, for sure!

Ah, nice one! And I should mention Devy too, I suppose.

Thank you, both!  Good to be here, I've been meaning to join for a while now, finally made it over.

Thanks! I wish I'd been able to get them even dirtier when I was playing a lot, but it was taking too much out of me and I was loosing some steam, especially after a few years of it. I just have longer breaks (between playing/recording) now and it's easier on me.

Welcome and hi!

Hey Jonas, me too! Cool!

I saw Meshuggah & Type O Negative on your list too. One of the things that always impressed me about Type O Negative is that they brought humour to their metal and it worked so well.

Hi everyone, I've jumped across from JMA (where I'd in turn jumped across from PA) so like a few of you, I now have the complete membership set

I used to 'sing' for a metal band, though I was more of a screamer really. Once my band splintered and the four of us found ourselves in different states, I found myself been making less music, but I've never stopped listening. Keen to write some reviews when I get the time.

A couple favs, Black Sabbath, Pantera, Opeth and some others that I can't think of right now!
