Nah, it is not a bootleg. I found it in Amazon (being resold for $30 or so). It was a tribute album made for Euronymus of Mayhem. Don't bother about ripping it off I can always get it from soulseek but I would like to get an original copy eventually.

P.S. I am talking out of my ass, they have new copies in Amazon but they are $25 cause it is an import. Ill get it anyways.

According to a metal loving friend (I personally can't stand it except for Tool) Mastodon is good.

Re: metal metal
 

Your friend is right. Mastodon is amazing. Although they are getting way too proggy in the last album. Hopefully they won't go to shit as Tool did. I cannot really listen to anything that Tool have done since Undertow without being bored to tears. One of the most souless bands in existence IMO.

Erick have you heard the Xasthur album Subliminal Genocide? somebody said it was like shoegazer black metal (:rolleyes: but kinda :D)

Dragonforce!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Saw both Mastodon and Tool last november, Mastodon wasn't all that good (they were the support act for Tool).
I admit the venue has horrible aucoustics (Ahoy, Rotterdam) but i kept thinking WTF??? Waist of time and money, Mastodon ;)
Tool, well, one of my 2 fav bands :D (sound was instantly way better when the Tool sound technician got at the soundboard, still barely listenable at the back. Every one moved forward and downward to get at least a bit better sound).
I've seen quite a few Toolgigs on vid this past year, i think they are unique. Maybe not as hard as a metal metal lover would like though.

Re: metal metal
 

Haha. Actually I think shoegazer black metal describes Xasthur very well. I have all Xasthur full lenghts, my favorites are either Nocturnal Poisoning or To Violate the Oblivious. I really really recomend Nocturnal Poisoning, it is a bit more raw than the rest as it his first but I think it his more solid effort so far. Supposedly he is using harps and all sorts of new instruments in his new record, I can't wait for the results as he has started to repeat himself.

YUCK! Listen to some Iron Maiden please. :D

Re: metal metal
 

I've heard this from several people that catched them in the Tool show, I don't know maybe it is because I've noticed openers seem to be outshined by the main act no matter who they are. I really recommend the album Leviathan, it is fucking mind blowing. I recently catched Mastodon on their own tour at a small venue, despise the fact that it was packed as hell and I could not get in into the main area until the very end (and therefore I could no hear the guitars sounds at all) they were amazing. In the last 2 song when finally it seems they pumped up the guitar sound and I was inside the actual concert venue they totally blew me away, incredible musicians, I can't believe people like Tool over Mastodon, I really can't....

Re: metal metal
 

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]nah, for me it had nothing to do with support act-blown away-by etc, it just sounded horrible, i was openminded, looking forward to hear them, as they were new to me. I'll give Leviathan a try :)
