Metallica are the third headliner aswell, been to Download twice now, who have yet to officially announce ANYONE, and this announcement just screams of; Merry Christmas Download Organisers, swivel on this big juicy middle finger, Love Sonisphere.

Think sonisphere might get my money this year, unless download pull something out of this bag full of bands they must have, soon.

I thought metallica were playing at the one in Poland?

Either way I'll be getting a ticket - dunno who to go with though :(
 
Some bands I discovered thanks to Last.fm





I already knew about Immortal but never bothered with the first two albums until someone recommended them to me on Last.fm, very good love the drumming. :cool:

Haha yeah I got that bit - and I am a fan, mostly of the likes of Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Firewind and lately been listening to Five Finger Death Punch (a bit redneck but for one reason or another it appeals) and also Killswitch Engage (the new stuff as opposed to the old).

Never got into the whole tryhard paint your face death/horror/closet desire to wear mommies makeup so I paint my face drivvel that seems to come out of the Nordics these days. I quite like to understand what is being sung and having it in a melodic audible fashion. The death/horror thing seems a bit like they're trying to compensate for something...

Immortal aren't about the death/horror thing, all of the lyrics are about a fictional land, most of them are to do with cold and frost. (infact most of the best black metal bands aren't)

As for the paint, I don't know really it's just what they do, they can pull it off at least as they were one of the first bands to do it.

The lead singer/guitarist of Immortal is actually hilarious :D ;


By the way I can understand everything in Immortal songs, it just takes getting used to.
The Nordics make great music that's for sure.

Sounds lyrically a little like 3 Inches of Blood - dunno muscially Immortal don't sound that accomplished. Each to their own I guess :D

Actually I've been thrashing this out a bit lately - really not a bad cover. Howard Jones does it justice IMO.

3 Inches of Blood vocals are kind of odd, they get annoying after a bit, Immortal are awesome though, they have great instrumental sections especially in the song Tyrants where an amazing synth kicks in.


Amazingly atmospheric intro.
