Saw them play live at Melbourne Park in '98

Was that the slot supporting Metallica? I was there.
Only listened to it once through now. A couple of initial thoughts:
- not really sure why they felt the need to 'outsource' the 3 instrumental tracks to Nathanael Larochette? Those 3 tracks dont really add anything to the album IMO and Agalloch have proven they can do it so much better...weird decision;
- lush production a noticeable departure from the more minimalist, sparse, agricultural feel on earlier albums eg The Mantle
- drumming again very good
- clean vocals have taken a back seat,
- less of that 'nature' feel to it that previous albums that made Agalloch so unique,
- no real standout tracks,
- overall - I am liking what I have heard dont think its a bad album - but its certaily a departure from there classic material (although in all honesty not a drastic one).
Of course they were, whadya think, I went to catch them live ...lol
So I hear In Flames have released 2 songs from their upcoming album.....

One of those bands I never got into. I downloaded a bunch of their songs about 12 yrs ago to see what they sounded like, which were pretty hit & miss so I skipped over them.So I hear In Flames have released 2 songs from their upcoming album.....
Early stuff was very good and helped define a genre.......last 15 years horrific. Avoid.

New Vader picked up today. Enjoying it on first listen. New Stormwarrior is really good too. Not sold on new Impaled Nazarene yet. New Autopsy is good. Got new Massacre, Incantation and Sinister on order. I understand Sinister is touring in November.

No idea. Good show? Don't like the new album. Saw them on the Heartwork tour, which was a real letdown. Firstly, Heartwork is a shocking album and secondly, they didn't play anything from SOS or ROP.
Haug's put up a vid of the Carcass show in Vic where J Walker stopped mid song and got stuck into the crowd for lack of participation.
Not really sure of Haugie's motives there to be honest.

I read the comment section and apparently they did the exact same thing at the same time of this track in their other shows. Pre planned bit of banter...
I'm not really one for going into the pit these days, i like to just stand back and take in the music.

I didn't go, but apparently at the Perth show he ripped into the Sydney crowd.

Close your eyes when he speaks and picture Ringo Starr.
This talk of ratm on previous pages and the band only living witness (hadn't heard them before, sound sick) made me think of this:
Hi all!
Hi.
I see new Accept song/video is online. Fairly standard (the song); very average video.
I've really been digging this today at work, atmospheric, celtic black metal.
Interesting to read that the band is a lone Scottsman, some brilliant elements and melodies created.. Although i'm not a huge fan of his vocals straight off the bat, the music is solid throughout the whole album. I might have to pick it up through his bandcamp page when I get home.
