The solo's may be difficult, but the riffs just don't strike me as very hard to play, just hard to memorize sometimes (this is more exemplified by the later output that I've heard).


Well, technicality comes in more then one way. It's not just noodling around like crazy.

Just out of curiousity..what kind of file is 'Gamma Knife' on the Canvas Solaris page on the archives. Or what quality is it...the version on my cd seems to be a really toned down version of it.

Last.fm doesn't have full samples, but usually a decent amount of 30 second streamable songs for every artist.

Are there any 'extreme death metal' sites that have streaming music? You know, for us poor folk who have to use dialup? I'm 'dying' to hear some of this music, but cd purchases are out of the question at the moment.

Coprofago is incredible,and a band I have been touting in the forum for quite some time...to little or no avail.

 

I like Genesis...but feel that Unorthodox Creative Criteria is better.They broaden their horizon's and experiment a bit more on that album.


I know...such an amazing band. I only gave Unorthodox two listens and gave Genesis quite a bit. I'll get back to Unorthodox for a better opinion of it. I'll review there albums when I decide to start reviewing stuff.

Simple....Meshuggah....Style???????

 

Word order confusion perhaps....what I meant was Meshuggah's style....simplified Wink

Have you guys heard of a band called In-Quest?

 
 
Awesome band,I am listening to The Comatose Quandries album and they remind me of Meshuggah a little.I am hoping to add them to the archives sometime in the future.

What was really funny was right behind them was a board of recognized children with the title in giant pastel letters "Sweethearts of the Week". Classic.
 
Don't think he was actually using a pick, just looks like it in the shot.

For Behold...yes, Warr Guitar. But bass only for Dysrhythmia, at least at that time.
