all i have to say is that the music scene here is way different from what i'm used to. but then i am from a larger city, where there is more of a variety of music. here i find it's all about the death metal and if you don't fit into that group then you most likely aren't accepted. i like metal, but i'm not a big death metal fan. where are all the normal metal bands. i like to understand what someone is singing about. to me lyric's are a big thing, and i always enjoy knowing what is the song is about; i like some of it but the rest of it is is grunting crap! overall, i'm not impressed! - Sat, 10 Jul 2004 10:25pm

Oh my Libertine, please do tell us all of where these super elite death metal groups of people can be found!
***I'm not joking!!!***

I've lived here all my life, and I'm one of the few who actually perfers death metal, and find that other fans are extremely few and far between...

*also, most of the bands that are metal in this city are not death metal by the way, theres hardly any of em'!!!(I'm talking like 3 or 4???)*

So... Can I get those directions to the Deathmetal union you spoke of, because I want in!

Libertine! have you ever heard Seasons of Sorrow?? That is some real singing. Actually if you really want to get into it, there are not many "death metal" bands in Victoria. For the most part each band has their own unique sound. Honestly, IMO no two metal bands are alike in this town really. I am quite happy with the scene here. - Sat, 10 Jul 2004 10:53pm

mostly in response to "libertine":

the whole "death/black metal suck because i can't here what they're singing about sucks" comes up way too frequently. There are more aspects to music than the words someone is saying, and im not just talking about metal here. Vocals and singing (for me at least) are part of the "music" more than just a delivery of lyrics. Why do you think people all over the world who dont speak english (or speak it well) can enjoy american/english music? It still sounds good. Theres tons of examples of that, but im too lazy to write any more, but still bored enough to post.

Thats not to say lyrics can't have an importance. I just usually only give a shit after i really get into a song, and with respect to a music scene, you usually only see bands play live, and thats not enough. I dont sit there during a set and scrutinize what someone is singing. If you actually do, i feel sorry for you. You're probably missing the music.

whatever...im just bored and posting

its an interesting debate though, when people say death metal sucks cause you cant understand anything. - Sun, 11 Jul 2004 12:54pm

I think that half of you people who's ears can't seem to comprihend the unclean metal linguistics should just try and read the lyrics.

If you can't understand what's being said after that, chances are, you're mildly retarded or you're listening to grindcore or crust, and therefore, the vocalist is probably speaking in tongues.(for lack of a better discription)

On that note, wonder why noone mocks Opera for not being able to understand a word, yet they mock metal for it all the time???
... "interesting"....

It seems to me that when people gripe and bitch about not being able to understand death metal lyrics it's 'cause they've spent their whole lives listening to Counting Crows or some dumb shit and have never learned to understand what's being said. I admit that there are some vocalists that are extremely difficult to understand ( like Lord Worm for example ) but they're still talented screamers and these days almost all CD's have lyrics listed in the booklets. Anyone who says that all death metal lyrics are incomprehensible is a mallcore pecker. - Sun, 11 Jul 2004 7:41pm

eMOticons are sooooooo cuuuuuute (wimper wimper).

I love when bands don't include lyrics in their CD liners and then make fun of me for not being a troo fan and figuring them out myself.

Then the page after that, they list all the fine corporations that have "hooked them up." - Mon, 12 Jul 2004 5:23pm

man, I can understand Mtiochondrion and Allfather alot better than I can Armchair Cynics or Lythic Blue. It's all just a matter of opinion and what you're preferences are mostly. I'm not gonna call you an ass for saying that you cant understand the vocals of death/black metal, cuz many people cant. I'm gonna call you an ass for bitching about it when theres top notch bands like Seasons of Sorrow or Meatlocker 7 that you can go see if you're into the "message that the lyrics convey." - Tue, 13 Jul 2004 2:35pm

my personal local fav to sing along to is ISKRA...certainly NOT death metal..but all black and crusty. I think the full on emotion scott portrays in his vocal outbursts does sweet justice to all the lyrics about peace,love,puppies&kittens and that warm fuzzy feeling you get from thinking about authorities and the government. rumour has it a sweet young couple broke out in a waltz the last time they played. aahhh....love! - Thu, 15 Jul 2004 6:35pm

"hey libertine! how long did you date dod sanger ? "

Hey Colin!

If you want to start live vic's days of our lives, thats your prerogative, but when you want to make my personal life the subject matter on a public music board, thats where you can fuck right off.

Whats with that man?

A: As if you diddn't know that answer ages ago.

B: What business is it of yours anyhow?

C: What makes you think it's cool to air 2 people's personal shit on a message board, especially when it has jack fuck all to do with you?

Next time, why don't you gossip about your personal life on a public message board instead of mine?

Or... mabye we should return the favour and post some personal crap about you for the city to see?

Bottom line:

You allready knew the answer before you even posted.
Even if that post was warrented, it's a useless question that has nothing to do with music or especially you.

Mind your own business pal.

If the details are slaying you that bad, which is fucking retarded in itself, this isin't the place to inquire. - Thu, 22 Jul 2004 7:35am

Doesn't hurt man, it's just not cool.

If it was her saying it, well then it would have been her business, but it wasn't.

If you can understand, I'd rather not have my laundry aired on a public board, much the same as everyone else, including libertine I'm willing to bet...

Mabye I was a little bitchy about it, but come on man, when people are discussing your personal life on a board, aren't you gonna get PO.ed just a tad?

HA! and furthermore, now libertine has to hear "you dated that prick??" for the next little bit.

Look, deathrod has a point.... Vic's scene sucks.... Where are the industro-Anarchist darkwave goth-dance bands? Or the Babylon 5 inspired stoner sludge-core? Or the Fashion-Electro with keytars and octagonal drumpads and go-go dancers in cages?
