| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2003 4:00pm - MORKUL ""] FINALLY, DEATH METAL MAKING IT'S WAY INTO THE MOVIES WHERE THEY REALLY BELONG. GOOD CHOICE ON PICKING DIMMYBOOGER TOO.....:NEWHORNS: |
| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2003 4:12pm - retzam ""] Yeah that is awesome. What does it mean "attached to The Last Samarai"? The Motley Crue thing is pretty cool too. I don't really like them that much but I would totally see them if they toured again. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2003 4:13pm - retzam ""] By the way Morkul, Dimmu is black metal, not death metal. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 5,2003 4:25pm - thegreatspaldino ""] and to be really technical... they arent even black metal. more of a heavily black influenced gothic/thrash band... that would be something that describes them better, i suppose. |

I think the best description actually, is symphonic black, well their newer stuff at least. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 5,2003 11:08pm - thegreatspaldino ""] yeah... but tr00pers completely dismiss dimmu and the first album of COF as any type of actual black metal even though they sound very black metal. tr00pers even dismiss XI Equillibrium by Emperor as actual black metal (the keyboards). its quite ridiculous really. but the tr00pers are black metal and they know whats black metal and whats not i guess. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 6,2003 12:47am - DeOdiumMortis ""] Black metal is God Forbid. IX Eq. should just be classified as "awesome." End of story. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 6,2003 3:19am - MyDeadDoll ""] i've been listening to that off and on all week... damn you and this brain sharing!! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 6,2003 9:37am - the_reverend ""] god forbid is black hardcore. |

"tr00pers" is just fuckin' retarded. :ralphie: |
