Symphonic Metal Heaven

Here, Paul: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface

I got to know a bit about meme culture due to my eldest child. I think I may be too old-fashioned to get the appeal of gifs, emojis, memes and the like. Humph, kids and their lol cats and stuff. I said that that to my eldest (18) and was told off for that being such an old one, people into that are like old like millennials.



So it's from 2007. I used to use an image blocker to block that kind of stuff when it was more popular back in the earlier 2000s. So much of it I find annoying, and sometimes it's meant to annoy, but to each his or her own.

I'll add Dimmu Borgir to my list tomorrow, along with the PROGRESSIVE METAL band, Dream Theater.

They're a Progressive Metal band, as everyone here agrees, and I'll be adding them to my Progressive & Symphonic Metal list tomorrow.

I've only listened to Dimmu Borgir's first album so far, so maybe I was too quick to judge them, based on what Archisorcerus and Logan have since told me, where they become more symphonic as you delve further into their discography. Dimmu Borgir's later albums are almost bound to be an improvement on their dismal first album.
