Yeah, what a joke! Wait, what was the joke?...I don't know I found all of grammatical error's in your post quite humorous, alongside the band's you listed as death metal that are not even part of the genre. Why don't you do your research next time, I mean for f***'s sake, I know we all have access to google. They also have a nifty feature called spell check and correction on google, now this is the part where you really need to pay attention okay. We have the technology, I promise you. There is no need to make yourself look like a complete dumba**, unless you just cannot help it what so ever, which may be the case. So go out there and get your hooked on phonics on brother, you stupid, co**sucking, cu*guzzling, fa**ot obsessed, useless piece of pustalate life. Have a good day :)

Did we listen to the same band? I thought I heard singing vocals about different lyrics then "killing n slaying". But hey maybe I'm still on the acid form New Years :p.

Nile is considered death metal but last time I checked they don't scream or sing or have lyrics about killing people. Are you sure your listening to the same bands and the rest of us or are you a complete f*** up and can't take the time to look up the things you are trying to argue about. Of course you think they suck balls if you haven't even heard them because they are too heavy for you. Someone needs to get back to there Coldplay huh?

@ everyone who posted after No.22
Well retarded morons of the metal world. Let me deal with you one by one.
No.23 Well metal b**** I havent done my research because I was listening to Meshuggah long before anyone had heard them. The only band on the list that "newbies" like you might not consider Death metal would be Meshuggah, well then pick up DEI, Chaosphere or better still ask Nicolas Lundgren who used to play drums for them at one point of time.
PS u said..."useless piece of pustalate life. Have a good day :)" Thats the first time i've ever heard anyone use the word "pustalate". i think it wud b better if u'd use the spell checker urself.
No.24. I'm glad I had u laughing!
No.25 Sorry, shouldn't have mentioned
Opeth, but most of their earlier stuff had more growling vocals as opposed to stuff they do these days.
No.26 I don't like Nile. I'm a huge ozzy fan and the fact that the Nile frontman once said he was too good for Ozzfest just really pisses me off. I like Karl as a guitarist but I cant bear listening to someone so obsessed about Egyptian mythology. Had it been a theme for an album, it would have been understandable but I think they 5 or 6 albums in now and its irritating now. As far as Coldplay are concerned, they might not be heavy, they might rip off Satch, but they do make a lot more money than all the bands I've mentioned so far. Not to say that commercial success means better musicianship but then again, who doesn't like money?

"Alongside the band's you listed as death metal" In reference to what I said, I was not referring to ALL the bands you had listed, but maybe I should have broken it down in the first place for you I suppose. You listed six bands, of those six only two would be consistantly considered death metal. One, of which is meshagguh from their early works, that one you are very correct. But, two out of six is still a major misinterpertation, and you are still completly incorrect and which makes your statement completly irrelevant. Not only that, but followed by your generic interpertation of the genre on top of that, which sounds completly ridiculous, and as we all know is incorrect, who would take you serious on a comment like that? So a little more justified you may feel, you are still wrong. And also your spelling and grammar looks alot better, so atleast you decided to fix that lol

Except for Aghora....which bands aren't death metal? Clear this query and then I'll let u know why Aghora is a death metal band as well.
PS. Its "consistently". If you thought my english was bad, well yours is absolutely pathetic. For God's sake you can't even spell 'completely' you moron and your usage of the word "and" in the same sentence is.......well lets just say it is too easy to ridicule(ref : "and you are still completly incorrect") I doubt you even listen to death metal. Which brings me to my next question, If you can't comprehend (@metal_rapture read understand) elementary english how the hell can you make sense of what Akerfeldt,Sundin, Friden,Sanders etc. write?

I do not have to discredit you, you have done that for yourself already. The fact of the matter is, you still have not brought a shed of light to correcting any of the statement's you said. So, just saying metal rapture sux and your retarded, doesnt make you anymore intellegent. Which means for the sake of argument you still have not really said anything at all.

I don't need to....I asked you a pretty straight forward question in my last post. Make that 2 questions. U havent answered even a single one. Add to that your grammatical inadequacies and futile attempts to project yourself as someone with a good command over the english language. Just because u got to choose a name like metal_rapture doesnt give you the right to hurl BS at anyone, specially when you have no knowledge of the genre.
PS. Its intelligent and their is a diff. between your and you're. You must have bribed your English teacher bigtime bro! LOL

^COB sounds more like a Neo-classical, power, black band to me in their first 2 (maybe 3) albums. They have become a bit more death based. IDK if I would call them a death metal band since their sound is a little too varied for one label but that is just me.
I've never listened to Aghora but I don't consider In Flames, Meshuggah, or Opeth to be straight up death metal either. In Flames started as a Melo Death band and has gradually experimented more and more losing a lot of their death metal roots. Meshuggah and Opeth, especially Opeth, are just way too progressive to be straight Death Metal imo.
How come the the person who posted in post 22 has a different IP log as the person in posts 27, 28, 30, 31, and 33 but those five posts have the same IP.

post 35 I've heard allot of people call COB melodic death but they seem to have allot of different elements in there music.
post 27 I think Nile is a very talented band and the reason they can sing about Egypt all the time is because Egypt has allot of interesting things in there history.

I'm sorry, but anyone who would hold Coldplay in higher standing than a metal band or death metal in general simply because of commercial success isn't even worth the time your all taking to ridicule him. Seriously. Especially a f**king idiot who evidently doesn't know what death metal is.

Well dms, if you see from post 31 and 32 time frames, we posted them at the same time. I was replying to post 30, I had not even seen that one yet. I gave you the benifit of the doubt on meshuggah, they still slightly consider themselves death metal, even though they are more progressive then most of genre. But, their old stuff would fall into that category, so i'll still agree with that one. Nile of course is death metal, that one is easy. Aghora and Opeth are both too progressive and don't consider themselves death metal. They may have some death metal roots, but you cannot say they are pure death metal by any means. No one considers COB or In Flames death metal. They are essentially too melodic to say they are death metal. So you come off saying that, including apparently they are "trying 2 scream and singing bout killing n slaying cuz their not getting layed", and that "all of 'em suck c***". This statement of course is just ridiculous and a over simplification of the genre that made you sound completly ignorant, do you really want to disagree with that? Im sure most of them get laid plenty enough also lol And you can get mad at me if you want with what I said, thats completly understandable. I just looked at your post and saw, sux balls, sucks c***, and not get laid. Seeing that, you sounded like a complete homophobe. That's why I said what I said, because it was obvious that it would offend you as it has :) Also that you have had to retract and say death metal is alright, to spending time on your posts this time around, to make yourself seem valid. Well, then thats what I wanted haha. I don't usually come off offensive like I did, seeing that you have actually replyed with some intellegence I don't see it necessary, so I thank you for that atleast.

I myself would have to say Clayman is much better the Come Clarity. Clayman is arguably my favourite album of the decade, solid, strong over all album, amny awesome hooks, strong tracks, and I felt it was a nice balance of the new and the old. Just my opinion. Gratz to In Flames. Good job on all the trolling. :]

It was great, but I really prefer Dark Tranquility's "Fiction" and "Damage Done" over Come Clarity. It is definitely really good and deserved more than the three skulls we gave it here. I would have given it 4 or 4.5.
