You guys should make an episode with Mikael Akerfeldt from Opeth. He is some kind of a music nerd..

[@amoeba]

We tried to make it happen last time they were in town and are aiming to try and get them next time they are in LA.

[@Opethianaut]

That would be great. Going to see them and Devin Townsend play at Red Rocks, CO in May :)

Just relistened The Satanist today. Such a masterpiece of an album

[@ashutoshtripathi.]

Xavi R Demigod is still better

[@ashutoshtripathi.]

Adan Ibarra I respect your opinion but I just didn't find that album as good as other works of Behemoth. Maybe it's because I was expecting something like sheer unbridled rage that demigod was but I just didn't like it as much it just felt a bit pale, sure it was more technical but I don't know. I feel like I would've enjoyed it much better if it wasn't created by Behemoth

[@nazgul66-sic87]

Ashutosh Tripathi The Satanist obviously is not as brutal as past albums. and most Behemoth fans love them for their brutality. but the satanist has so much raw emotion, and energy. it's hard to explain. but the album helped me to get through my break up with my ex fiance of several years. it's just a powerful, epic album. and you just feel it. I love all Behemoth albums honestly.

[@ashutoshtripathi.]

Nazgul 66-sic That's the thing, I don't care much for the emotional aspects of the music, not my cup of tea

[@nazgul66-sic87]

Ashutosh Tripathi I can get down with that. we find different music, at different stages of life. perhaps I wouldn't of liked it as much. if I wasn't in such an emotional stage of my life.

+moremetalthanyou71 i dont really care, as long as new album will going to be as good as In the Minds. And many metal musicians dont listen to metal anymore. They like to create it but dont care about other bands/genere. I dont give a fuck as long as they can create good music themselfs.

i'm a huge black metal fan, but i like behemoth... Also, their early 90's work is definitely black metal. However, i get what you're saying. just like Sabaton is metal for people who don't like metal.

[@adrianac3258]

Of course Nergal is cool so his picks are wonderful !!

[@IsdudeMe]

Super articulate and clever, guess it shouldn't surprise me but a lot of the guys that play in the most intense, hardcore bands seem friendly and nice enough

[@raiz91]

IsdudeMe I’m not surprised, since these guys are well-educated and have read a lot of great literature. Most of their lyrics are inspired by it.

[@velinas_]

You mean intelligent and well-read, not the same thing as lots and lots of formal education. It may overlap, but it doesn't have to. I have met plenty of uni/college lvl educated ppl from a middle - middle or upwards background, who fully lacked intellectual curiosity, just barely passed their exams (requiring a lot of extra tuition to do so) and lacked the ability to think for themselves. Then you have people like me, with extremely minimal formal education, due to circumstances, but who have plenty of intellectual curiosity, think for themselves just fine and are extremely well-read.

I have record shopped with Nergal. Sweet guy who is very curious to listen to new things. There was one occasion years ago where he was curious to hear what Canadian bands were coming out and there was this lesser know rock group called Nickelback whose album he grabbed. I never did find out if he enjoyed it.

[@laughingbuddha2948]

OH GOD!, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! We are long-haired, tattooed, black-dressed metalheads. We look tough but now we are scared! We have a terrible enemy, not one but three teenage Japanese girls! And now we are so happy that some guy Nergal, who plays in a real metalband, has said something against the girls. Hooray! Let's flock together and all cheer for our hero! I am a different metalhead. I like freedom in all shape and form. When I don't like something I ignore it. I'm not going to make an issue out of it! These girls do make different music and they are passionate about it. They opened for the Chili Peppers, Metallica and Guns and Roses. They don't play by the rules of mainstream metal, so what? You don't have to like it, do you? But a lot of people do, and a lot of bands do. Leave them be. Like Rob Zombie said:"Hey, they are nice kids out on the road touring. What are you doing besides being a grumpy old fuck?"

[@kimberlingcumberland541]

laughing buddha I think the problem is that people realize that the girls have nothing to do with the music, they just dance and sing to make money. Some of them have even gone on record saying they are scared of metal music and don't listen to it regularly.

I think he has recorded material in Polish, for a side project, where he used some sort of clean vocals. Don't remember the name of the album, haven't heard in in like 13+ years, but it does exist. Look up his side-project online and you will probably find it.
