Os Abysmi Vel Daath

Welcome! I quite enjoyed reading your intro post, so I hope you stick around. It's always nice when people say more than "hi".

Also, I feel really bad that I disappear so frequently. I really like this community and it's the only forum I've stuck with (inconsistent as I am).

Should be studying programming, but instead I'm here.

Moodie Black - Nausea Been in a hip hop mood.

Tom Fischer from Celtic Frost/Triptykon has written a couple of books. I have Only Death is Real (written with assistance from Martin Ain) and it's fantastic.

The only records I'm looking forward to so far (metal-wise anyway) are Nevertanezra and Leviathan. Everything Burzum has done after Fallen is terrible and nobody else I particularly care about has come up so far.

One of their best songs.

Just to weigh in I actually do prefer Varg based on his music and the fact that he's a charming little nazi idiot, compared to Euronymous who was just kind of weird.

Oh shit, for once I arrive in the middle of something instead of afterwards.

Meanwhile Brent Hinds from Mastodon got himself kicked out.

Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist Decidedly non-metal

Mainly what's been on my mind since school started up is how incredibly stressful this semester seems determined to be.

Stargazer - The Scream that Tore the Sky Blown away.

Tom Fischer's book, Only Death is Real, is fantastic. I also really enjoyed Swedish Death Metal, if you're a fan of that scene you've gotta check that book out. I thought Dani Filth's book was kinda fun as well.

Awesome, man! I'm sure you're relieved.

No problem. Tool and Mastodon are both inspired by Melvins as you said, and of those two Mastodon's earlier stuff definitely fits into sludge. Honestly not many bands sound quite like Melvins though. If you like Mastodon you might like Baroness or High on Fire. Oh yeah, that's completely fine.

Awesome, do you like any other sludge groups?

Look forward to your return man.

Hi! Do you like Melvins by any chance?

For those of you who haven't checked this out yet, you should go download Temple of Void - Of Terror and the Supernatural. Some pretty enjoyable doom/death.
