Obviously you guys aren't true metal fans if you say that change isn't good. Orchestrial overtones are found in a lot of our now days metal- Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth just to name a couple. God you guys are ignorant. Brillance comes in all levels of music...

MindSlavor,

What the f*** is a hot topic flavor of the month. As far as you're concerned I have been an avid fan of goth metal and other metal including Korn since f*** I don't know when. So f*** you if you think I don't know music.

THAT IS ALL...

COF are flea infested posion ivy to the ears.
However, I think Dimmu have released a decent amount of interesting music from '99-present.

If anyone could write an opera with a background in metal it would be Christofer Johnsson of Therion, hands down.
