YYeah,she only did UK dates with them. Lol,i heard the sucked too. The rumour was that Paradise Lost was going to do some shows with them,but it didn't happen. I would love to see them. Bullet for My Valentine opened for them here. I was on the beer line for their set though.

^The helicopter tearing through the flock of doves was also a Mayhem reference from that episode. Also my gf sometimes wonders why I refer to grocery stores as "food libraries" in a Scandinavian accent. I haven't seen that show in a while, I hope the first season comes out on DVD soon.
Speaking of Mayhem, I only just picked up their Live in Leipzig album yesterday. Maybe its just me, but I really think that Hellhammer sounds better live than he does in studio. I also finally picked up Dark Angel's Darkness Descends, among others. Awesome stuff.
So metalheads what are your top albums of 2006? Here's mine: Amorphis - Eclipse | Amorphis' best album in 10 years since Elegy and very accessible. Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis | Man, Decapitated really have mastered the art of playing tight, technical death metal but still brutal as fuck. I like the new singer better too. Great overall album. Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain | I never get tired of folk metal and Agalloch certainly doesn't disappoint with their new one. They don't rely as heavily on the acoustic and classical guitars as with The Mantle which is an improvement IMO. I'm sure I'm forgetting some so lets hear them.
Hmm.... my top 5, in order... 1) Spawn of Possession - Noctambulant (IMO its by far the best of '06... I highly recommend it) 2) Vader - Impressions in Blood (has some cheesy moments, but overall a solid release) 3) Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis (I liked Sauron alot more than Covan on vocals, but still great stuff) 4) Keep of Kalessin - Armada (dude, silent scream, common man, how could you leave this off your list) 5) Krisiun - AssasiNation (its Krisiun... nuff said) Ive heard from alotta people that the new Corpse album (Kill) was actually pretty awesome. I might pick that up. As for the new Deicide... meh, I actually think its tremendously overrated. Owen and Santolla may be better guitarists than the Hoffman brothers, but Im probably one of the few who prefers the Hoffmans to the new crew. The solos just sound too exotic and too different from what Ive grown to expect from Deicide. Theyd sound better on some fruity DragonForce record, at least in my ears.
Yeah I forgot Keep Of Kalessin. Armada is awesome. I suck at making lists off the top of my head. I heard the same about Kill. I've been meaning to pick it up. As for Deicide I keep hearing good things about the new album despite it being Deicide. I'm definitely going to have to check out Spawn of Possession. As for the Decapitated signer I didn't dislike the old guy he was good but the new guy just sounds so pissed off, I guess it just suits me better.
My Top Five "Metal" Releases Of The Year..... 1. Iron Maiden - "A Matter Of Life And Death" 2. Pagan's Mind - "Enigmatic: Calling" 3. Shadow's Fall - "Fallout From The War" 4. Dream Theater - "Octavarium" 5. Disturbed - "Ten Thousand Fists"
1028 likes St.Anger. I have a question which was raised awhile ago on another board I'm at. Who do you prefer, Iron Maiden or Black Sabboth?
I used to say that if I can see one concert of a band in it's original form it would be Black Sabbath. A few years later they reformed for the Ozzfest and it might have been the most boring concert I've ever seen. Maiden has never disappointed.
I like Risk and Christ Illusion too. Those albums are hardcore. I dont think any band will ever top Maiden.
So Ive been listening to alot of Dark Funeral lately, in anticipation of a show this upcoming Wednesday. Satanic Blood has to be one of the worst black metal songs of all time. Ineffable King of Darkness is sick, though.
