Pre-Obscura Gorguts is less contrived. Obscura is neat because it was their upgrade to Deicide's "Legion": a real labyrinth of an album. The earlier songs had a more organic, friendlier feel.

Schubert is amazing not in the least because he wrote all of his music in a short time, but in how emotional it is without becoming repetitive or losing its powerful musicality. Good choice! I'm on a Beethoven binge for personal reasons. (Among other things, Beethoven conveys the orderly sense of the classical period with the transcendental, emotional sense of the Romantic period.)

Will do; there are also some uploads on Audiofile that need exploring. It's fun to have new ground to explore (musically). Regressing now with SLAYER and PESTILENCE hehe.

Not really at this time. Mulling over Locatelli. I've got Bach on the CD player in the kitchen but while I admire it I'm still less of a fan. Germans peaked with classical/Romantic era... Baroque may belong to the Italians.

I think it's hard for many people to grasp how the nine symphonies function as a set and have no weak points, so the subtler ones get overlooked. Even the third gets slighted in preference to 5/7/9.

I think so too. The second ATG kind of fell off the radar, where the first was interesting; ideally, someone would make the more complex compositions of Eucharist/ATG with the atmosphere of early Burzum.

Today, the 7th is my favorite. Often it's the 3rd, but equally as often the 6th. Very hard to tell!

Yes, although I need to listen to it more frequently. Vocal music is always my last area of experience.

I remember Thorr's Hammer as being credible, and all of his visual artwork is quite well done, but it could be completely off-base.

Bruckner is a transcendental visionary, like Blake. I think a lot of these classical guys had that sort of thing going on, but Bruckner was the most able to combine the stormy and the adoring. Increasingly, I think a religious attitude toward life -- reverence, adoration, respect, delight -- is the ONLY way to live :)

For Greenslade, the self-titled or Bedside Manners; for Jethro Tull, Aqualung is a personal favorite.

As for your "why are you so angry" banter, this is a website about advertising your preferences in music. That includes the journals. When dipshis stop putting their misinformed, shitty opinions on the internet and impressionable numbnuts stop following them, my crusade will be complete. You're pretty selective in your criticisms; anus has posted the same article three times in the last half year about how these or those bands suck, hell, their review section is mostly to tell the world about what albums suck in the esteemed opinion of their burnout neckbeard panel. That site is so rife with stupidity and selective evidence for retarded statements like "metal is derived from classical music" that it's hard to discern what originated from "trolling" and genuine idicoy. Maybe it's time an ANUSbomber sent a package to Prozak's mom's house...

Geez....NegruVoda never stops.....you probably don't need reassurance that NegruVoda is wrong but....he is wrong. I don't have a username on Anus but I do visit the site to find quality music. It hasn't failed me yet and I don't think it will for a long time.

I prefer the truly epic art. It changes life and adds to it. I'm comfortable enough with myself that I don't need the lesser stuff to distract me. I think you probably have a similar profile.

That's a pretty eminent list. There are a few who capture not only musical quality but a spirit that is both useful for living, and joyful, although the two depend on each other. Lord Wind strikes me as one. It's like the brainier version of Graveland.

I thought it was a pretty funny joke and it wasnt by any means a crack at his taste. Either way, no need to white-knight for a grown-ass man.

It took me awhile to remember the dude's name -- here's the book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0060759747?tag=darklegions-20 It's not the best biography ever written, but not the worst; sort of hybridizes music discussion with biographical stuff, which can get tedious ("he liked classical music because his mother played it when she beat him") but doesn't here much.

Just finished a biography of the man Beethoven -- pretty intense. Needed to be given cash and sent off to figure out his symphonies, away from distracting people.

"I heard their goal with that album was to make an At the Gates equivalent to Reign in Blood." You "heard"? So that makes it hearsay, which doesn't prove anything about their "intentions" when making the album. For all you know they could've been influenced by Oingo-fucking-Boingo.

"Listening to Slaughter of the Soul is definitely a mistake." The fuck you talking about, that's like their only good album worth listening to. Sure there's some monotonous stinkers like Blinded by Fear but you also have more energetic tracks like Need, Unto Others, and the Legion cover. Also the songwriting on it was mostly Bjorler (guitarist).

Research suggests that the twins and Svensson wrote the EP and first album, and then their vocalist and drummer started writing more of the material, culminating in the heap of shit that is SOTS.
