    Pretty sure Opeth is everything metal should ever be. Fucking perfect band. Brutally heavy, technical, powerful, tasteful, beautiful, and emotional. All perfectly balanced.

    Dominating my stereo the past 3 months.

    New record "Pale Communion" coming June 17. Too stoked for it. Everything I've read makes it sound like an amazing record.

    All good bands. Thanks

    Also, Analog, I highly recommend Direwolf if you haven't heard of them.

    I'm looking forward to the new Anubis Gate album next month. I prefer them as a prog band. They sounded like too many other power metal bands with their old singer.

    Edit: Just came across this 8-bit version of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller' album. So awesome.

    Never heard of Direwolf or Anubis Gate. I'll check em out.

    Dude, if you haven't found 8BitCore on YouTube yet, DO IT! The Spawn of Possession and Necrophagist in 8 Bit are fucking epic!

    Analog, what do you think of the last 3 Pestilence albums? I liked them all, but I can see why people don't. [/size]Resurrection Macabre was pretty basic brutal death metal. I liked Doctrine a lot more, and Obsideo also has its moments.

    Dude, call me a noob but I've only listened to Spheres. What would you suggest?

    Beyond Creation fucking RULES!!! I've been hooked on their record for some time now. Love that dudes bass tone. He's a killer.

    Is only really consider that Nocturnus record the only thing I've ever thought of as SciFi metal. I can definitely see the Obscura thing now that you mention it. I'll ponder that for a bit.

    Heard the new Defeated Sanity, Handsome? Most brutal thing that's come out in as long as I can remember. Just sheer heavy brutality. Punishing bass, too.

    Curious why you only mentioned the bass on Cosmogenesis. You listened to the follow up?? Septuagint and Celestial Spheres bass solos take a shit all over Orbital Elements, and the bass on every song is so clean and more tasteful, as I feel A lot of Cosmogenesis was full of very obnoxious basslines. That's not to say I don't fucking love every second of that record, but he complemented the compositions way better on Omnivium.

    Jeroen Thesseling didn't play on Omnivium. T'was Linus Klausnitzer :scooter:

    I actually prefer the bass on Omnivium as well. Like you said, it fits in with Obscura's style better. Having said that, I'm a big Jeroen Thesseling fan. He has a very similar style to Steve Digiorgio. I first heard him (as most people would have) on "Spheres" by Pestilence, which is a flawed but underrated album.

    Nope, it was Thesseling that recorded the bass on Omnivium. Linus toured with them in support of the record, though. So stoked I got to catch the L.A. stop on that tour. It was a phenomenal show, despite being at the Key Club which has awful acoustics.

    The dudes were really fucking nice when I met them at that show. Surprisingly so. I was afraid I was going to break Christian's hand when I shook it. That guy is tiny and mad skinny haha.

    You're right about "Spheres". So much good but just enough to complain about. lol

    Goddamnit, analog. You got me back into Obscura, and now I have to listen to them everyday. Thesseling's bass on Cosmogenesis... there are no words.

    Anyway, here is a pre-production sample from Christian Muenzner's second solo album, with Hannes Grossmann on drums.

    Sadly, he has a disease that affects his technique. Not that it seems to make him any less awesome.

    You're welcome. There was a solid two years where I listened to Cosmogenesis and Omnivium at least once a day each. I still listen to them very frequently (Septuagint>Vortex Omnivium is often my wake-up work commute soundtrack) but nothing beats when you first get into something this glorious.

    thanks so much for posting that video! I knew he was in production of the new record but didn't know there were any videos. I fucking love Timewarp and am stoked to hear how he improves upon it. He hadn't even realized he was dealing with focal dystonia during the production of Timewarp even though it was affecting him, so it will be interesting to hear how he's adapted his style.

    Hannes Grossmann recently released his solo record as well, and I'm fucking pissed I haven't been able to snag a copy yet.

    Apparently, if there is going to be a dexter spinoff

    Michael Hall will have to be involved.. Dexter in the forest sounds OK to me... but I think the last episode of the show felt rushed.... What was the point of all the other story lines introduced in the final season?

    For entertainment, nigga.

    Saw the final episode last night. Great episode and wrapped it all up, but come on.

    I know he's dexter and all, but I hate how he manages to take a body off life support and carry it out in front of everybody and onto his boat and nobody noticed.

    Ha. Thanks. That's the way I see it. Everything has a place in this world so I don't let myself be uninterested in whatever I'm learning. It's all fascinating.

    You're never too old to get more education, so I will surely keep my eyes set on other things even after my degree.

    Because I've been in the field over three years and love it more than most things, and have always wanted to do it in the back of my mind. I have a learned a lot from my boss/mentor as far as recognizing illnesses and diagnostics, reading bloodwork, identifying X-rays, anatomy, surgery, etc. It comes pretty easy to me so far.

    I have no idea what my future has in store, but the goal in the back of my mind is primarily to either find a good school in Europe, or to end up committing to a good veterinary school in America when I return (definitely not in Nevada)

    I'm not the no-work, no-school type. I have too great an urge to move forward and learn new things. This is just me trying something new. Who knows, maybe it will change me completely.

    I haven't come across that particular theory in his writings. He's taken evidence put forward by some geologists suggesting that the pyramids and the sphinx are thousands of years older than Egyptologists suggest. He also believes that humanity has been around much longer than we presently believe, but he's more of an investigative journalist than a historian.

    This.

    He doesn't really incorporate alien theories in his works, but he did get a little out there for a bit with a lot of Mars speculation.

    His book "Fingerprints of the Gods" is fucking amazing and very eye-opening.

    He also has a lot of studies on once-lost underwater structures/civilizations and used to scuba dive to near-impossible places and take amazing photos of them. I forgot what his book about that is called.

    If anyone wants to get a good intro to Graham Hancock, download some old Art Bell shows where he interviewed him, and he also joined Joe Rogan for three of his podcasts. All these are very enjoyable listens and replayable, but the recent Joe Rogan podcasts incorporate a lot more talk of psychedelics and DMT since he got way into that the past several years. All very interesting but all depends on what you like. Very smart guy.
