Zaz, have you checked out Mastodon's new album 'Blood Mountain' yet? Seriously, that album is fucking amazing, a masterpiece, and I'm sure quite a few people here will agree with me on that.

Chrisbo's pictures always come out looking great, I wonder what camera he has...

I downloaded about 4 songs from it a while ago which are pretty good, but I really ought to just buy the damn thing and listen to it properly. By the way how much was your camera (if you don't mind me asking)?

Yes you DEFINITELY need too! Would have probably been my album of the year, if it wasnt for the fact that SNW is so damn good! Not one weak track on it at all!

Got the camera for 150 quid from Argos, it's great! 8.1 Megapixels is luvvly jubbly!

Ok I'll make it the next album I buy.

What's the optical zoom like?

[Chrisbo]

You wont regret it! More bands you should check out - Converge, ISIS (fact you've probably already checked them out, you're more a metal lass than a hardcore chick eh?)

There's a 3x optical zoom. Havent really had the chance to test it out at a big show yet, and plus all the shows I've been to, I've always got to the front for. But I reckon it'll do a pretty damn good job!

[neurotic]

Analena - scremo(I guess) with female vocalist...

Father - some kind of metal, lol.... was at their gig last night, had a great time..
http://myspace.com/fatherband

Yeah I'm definitely more into metal, not keen on Converge. Although I do like some stuff that I've read is metalcore/deathcore... Lamb Of God, Animosity, (which scared the crap out of me first time I heard it, haha), Chimaira... Don't think I like any straight up hardcore bands though. And I'm still yet to listen to anything by ISIS, I keep meaning to but haven't got round to it yet. Album(s)?

3x optical zoom eh? Hmmm that's alright... I was hoping it'd be higher than that... ah well I'll check it out in the Argos catalogue anyway! Thanks man.

EDIT: Just had a look on the Argos website, I'm assuming it's this:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5604717.htm

It says it's supplied with 2 AA batteries. Does that mean you can't charge it via mains? I guess you could get rechargeable batteries...

[Starz]

Here are my recommendations:

Day One Symphony
Unjust
Jacob's Stories
The Butterfly Effect
Sunk Loto
Burst
Devil Sold His Soul
Red Sparowes
Khoma
Breed 77
Sigur Ros
Liberty 37
Heavy Weight Champ
Open Hand

Fuck, I could go on for hours... If anyone wants anymore recommendations, let me know, my CD collection is fucking fuck off huge...

Have you tried Poison The Well? They're a fucking awesome band that would go under metalcore (I think). Norma Jean, you might like them too, especially the early 'Bless The Martyr...' stuff. Bleeding Through? The more I think of ISIS and what you say you like, the more I think you wont like them, but hey if you want to check them out, 'Panopticon' and 'Oceanic' are their masterpieces! Of course the earlier you go, the heavier it gets too, but the newer stuff for me is stronger.

Yeah that's the one. Trust me, you're not going to need the optical zoom that much with this bad boy heh! Yeah, the only downpoint is that it doesnt come with a plug for rechargeable batteries, but then none of the cameras I've had up to now have had that advantage. Plus, I only really use the camera for gigs and shows, where it works best, so I'm not forking out too much for batteries (it does get dead pretty quick though heh).

Arid  ---> alternative

I insist, here's a sample:

[defskull]

Five Pointe O is one of those bands that didn't go anywhere but really should have.  I think they got tossed aside because they were on Roadrunner Records whenever nu-metal was the shit..

I'd call them a metal-core-ish band but with melody as well. Highly recommended. They released one full length cd titled "Untitled". Check it out.
