I have come to say I no longer stand by the words said in them and I feel strange when I read them now. Life causes changes to a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~295267241604 Thu, 21 Dec 2006 21:17:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_295267241604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_293708992132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Man, this album is so dark and bizarre. I have never heard any album that was this creepy and dark before. I've also been inspired to re-write my favorite metal albums of the 90's list because of this record alone. I now feel it isn't complete without... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~293708992132 Mon, 18 Dec 2006 14:54:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_293708992132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_285835103876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Not only is this a mediocre album but it is one of the most overrated albums of all time in metal. Finland's Children of Bodom are quite loved and highly hailed by many a metal head. However, I do not love them. In fact, I don't even like them. My older... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~285835103876 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 22:16:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_285835103876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_279068970628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - I'm a recent fan of Amorphis. After reading some comparisons to like minded bands such as Paradise Lost and seeing they were the first band to be added on the Metal Archives, I had to give these guys a listen. I had truly been missing out. Finland's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~279068970628 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 23:10:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_279068970628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262698536580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Skinlab can be sort of a hidden treasure now in metal. While they were certainly known when they were most active, most didn't really notice that they broke up in 2003. They also were treated a bit unfairly. They were accused of being a Machine Head (One... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~262698536580 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 20:57:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_262698536580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262666358404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - It is not enough to say Testament are thrash metal legends. They are more like gods instead. They originated from the same Bay Area that birthed Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. But while Metallica decided to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~262666358404 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 18:48:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_262666358404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262398709380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Now that I have a job at the library, I am surrounded by books. I'm not really a reader but whenever I see a book that captures my fancy, I won't hesitate to read it. Since the library is a universe full of books, I can come across millions that grab my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~262398709380 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 01:18:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_262398709380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262382784132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Greg the Bunny was a show that should have made it far but it unfortunately didn't. Originally appearing as a little show called Junktape, it perked up the Independent Film Channel's eyes and it was soon on that station. The show was renamed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~262382784132 Fri, 6 Oct 2006 00:32:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_262382784132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_242737974916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - This game is somewhat lost in time. By the time it came out, it arrived too late by modern standards. Doom's descendant, Quake, was making waves and re-defining the shooter genre just like it's ancestor did long ago. Doom 64 was a little more advanced... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~242737974916 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 20:50:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_242737974916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_238451854980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - After exiting one of death metal's most well known mongers, Cannibal Corpse, death growler Chris Barnes was free to focus on his then side project Six Feet Under he founded sometime in Cannibal Corpse's mid period. Six Feet Under are different than other... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~238451854980 Sun, 25 Jun 2006 15:48:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_238451854980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_234618195588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - What can I say about Paradise Lost? They are just one of the most fantastic bands ever. They are also one of the most daring ones since they have constantly changed their style from album to album. Starting as a death metal band, they later changed to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~234618195588 Sun, 4 Jun 2006 14:12:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_234618195588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_234450292356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Life can do some unexpected things to you. I originally could not stand this album but for some odd reason, I decided to pick it up from my closet a few days ago. When I listened to it, my reaction was much different than it was last year. Whether it was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~234450292356 Sat, 3 Jun 2006 12:26:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_234450292356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_230101913220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - This review is long overdue and I was supposed to do it last summer when it came out but I never got around since I was too busy having fun. Since summer is coming around the corner again, I better get this done before I'm swamped with summer fever and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~230101913220 Sun, 7 May 2006 14:14:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_230101913220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_229955440260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - I've been on a Nile craze lately. Though my introduction to the band was by the songs off this album (Samples, and this is also their debut), my first album from them was their junior effort, In Their Darkened Shrines. While that is a good album and it's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~229955440260 Sat, 6 May 2006 14:54:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_229955440260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_227831287428?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Vader are probably the most well known metal band from Poland. Originally a thrash band, they started adding death metal elements to their sound and are now a half and half mixture of thrash metal and death metal from what I can make of. I got this album... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~227831287428 Sun, 23 Apr 2006 16:03:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_227831287428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_227828928132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - The Dillinger Escape Plan are quite loved these days. They have gotten tons of praise for their high skilled musical ability, odd song structures, "technicality" (Quite an overused word if you ask me.) and what not. They are usually placed in the one of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~227828928132 Sun, 23 Apr 2006 15:30:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_227828928132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_227628846724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - This is going to be different. You all know I originally trashed Mastodon a year back to where I declared them as overrated, dull and so on. Well, looks like I'm going to eat my words now. While I feel the band is still overrated, they are not worthless... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~227628846724 Sat, 22 Apr 2006 03:28:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_227628846724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223307009668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Sepultura's first for SPV records and there will definitely be more to come. Tomorrow is actually when the new album is out! But anyways, when this album came out in 2003, it was received much better than the previous two albums with Derrick Green on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223307009668 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 01:49:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223307009668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_223142186628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - This was the last album Sepultura had for Roadrunner Records but it was the first for some things. It was the first album current front man, Derrick Green, had a hand in song writing and I think this is where he started doing some of his own guitar work... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~223142186628 Sat, 11 Mar 2006 13:25:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_223142186628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_222392848004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Escapism is something you don't really hear in Rock n Roll these days. Almost every band you hear today (from Hoobastank to Simple Plan and so on) is grounded in reality and not to mention uninspired music. It's also easy to digest which makes most of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~222392848004 Thu, 2 Mar 2006 23:41:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_222392848004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_214974959236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Sepultura: Not only is it Portuguese for grave, it's also a name of one of the most well-known bands in metal and one you should not miss. These Brazilian dudes definitely are no stranger to the word change. They began as a death metal gang on their... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~214974959236 Thu, 22 Dec 2005 15:54:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_214974959236?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_212110904964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - Nile are one of a kind in the death metal genre and will likely be remembered as death metal innovators for years to come. There is no other that mix the death metal sound with Egyptian themes. No one else could pull off the sound without getting pointed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~212110904964 Fri, 25 Nov 2005 12:30:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_212110904964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_208602173060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - What's that sound? It's the Infectious Grooves! They are (or probably now were but who knows what their status is right now) a side project of Suicidal Tendencies front man, Mike Muir and one of the pioneering bands of the funk metal genre.

They are great! These drunken blokes have been delivering slabs of sludge metal for little over a decade and will likely not stop anytime soon. While heavy metal is known for being fast, Crowbar take a little slower... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196521594500 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 01:01:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196521594500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195886943876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author markendust90 - If anger, energy and lots of heavy is what you want, Pro-Pain might just be the thing. They've been blasting out songs about anger for a long time and show no signs of stopping. As for their style, I would say it's groove metal on the thrashier side with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195886943876 Sun, 11 Sep 2005 17:26:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195886943876?linkin_id=8003929
