Glad to hear you like 'em!
Thanks dude, nice to be back.
Would've posted this as an edit in the "What are you listening to right now ?" thread in response to the heretic azazel's post, but since the post turned into a sort of review, it's probably more appropriate for this kick ass and far too ignored thread.
Just heard the two leaked opeth songs. Both of them are fucking amazing. I mean it, FUCKING AMAZING! I keep reading things about the Porcelain Heart being relatively weak because it's not a pure headbanger song, but there are other things that Opeth is about, and sadness is one of those things. This is possibly the song where Akerfeldt is being the more honest and unmasked about his grief than any other song, and you hear it not only through the lyrics, but sonically through the music. What I'm mentioning isn't unique to Opeth, but they do it so damned well. The Lotus Eater...you'll just have to listen to that. Growls, clean/melodic and POWERFUL vocals over the most brutal riffs you'll ever hear, complex and wonderfully arranged, and even a dream theater sounding little diddy around the six minute mark.
For anyone who isn't turned off by progressive and death metal, and who really knows how to listen, these songs will prove to be stunning. If the past is any indication of what a future Opeth album will sound like, I think we can expect this new album to be one of their best recordings yet.
Also check out Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt laying vocals on Bloodbath's new album Unblessing the Purity.
Bloodbath fucking rule.

Anyone listen to As I Lay Dyings "An Ocean Between Us" I Just have to say that the song "Forsaken" is pretty bad ass.
Edit: Ahhaaha Bloodbath is like my top 5.
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

The album before, Shadows Are Security, is a wee bit better. The self titled song of their latest album is the best though..Originally Posted by Paulyboy
So sad that they replaced the clean vocalist/bassist with someone who is even more crappier. Live wise.
Actually, As I Lay Dying is really that good live....
But hey, metal band? Norma Jean's older stuff, anyne?
Type "Norma Jean - Memphis Will Be Lade To Waste" : )!
