Be careful what you wish for .. Who remembers this unfortunate incident involving Anthrax: During the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States the band changed its website, providing information about the disease after people began searching "anthrax.com" on internet search engines. Amid a potential PR nightmare, Anthrax issued a press release on October 10, 2001, joking that the band's name would be changed to "something more friendly, like 'Basket Full of Puppies'." Anthrax dispelled any name-change rumors derived from the press release at the November 2001 New York Steel 9/11 benefit concert, when they took the stage in boiler suits with a different word on each one which ultimately read "We're not changing our name". Bello has stated they did so after receiving support from members of the NYPD and FDNY, who believed that changing the name of the band would send the wrong message. A picture of the band in the suits is on the inner tray card of We've Come for You All. I also recall reading an interview at the time in Kerrang or some other metal mag, when one of the guys in Anthrax stated that in the event of being targeted in an actual Anthrax attack, he refused to die an ironic death. We can laugh about it now 😁

😂 I have heard of Pestilence and Gorefest, yes.

Have a day off, will you!

Snap! Although I have never heard of Dead Head (Dutch band? - thanks Google) Also, I cannot stand Bobby Blitz's voice so sorry, no Overkill for me either.

I remember that documentary!

Outstanding choices there, sir 👍

Tenuous at best ...

The ultimate insult! 😂

Yeah, I can't get on with their synthyness ... It was very much a case of "How long have I been out for??" and "Come back, Judas Priest. All is forgiven." 😆

I could not comment whether Ghost qualify as post-metal. But I would say that genre labelling can be very subjective at times.

Have heard worse 👍

My sentiments exactly.

Nothing like a hot, sunny day to make you want to blast some atmospheric black metal 👍 Shortly after emerging back into society following several years of caring for my offspring in a vacuum-like existence, I found myself once again in a rock club with my old pals, re-living the heavy metal lifestyle of my youth. Sitting there with my pint, I pointed at the ceiling and said to a mate, "What's this??" as a Ghost track filled the dancefloor. "It's Ghost!" he said. And then added, "It's post-metal!" I stopped listening to him after that.

@ubit I took this photo of FFDP at Wembley last year. Thought you may appreciate.

Based on this thread, I just watched the first two episodes - very good. I laughed at the bit in episode 2 where Amina is trying to plug her guitar in at rehearsal. That's basically me ...

😁

If the October Behemoth/Arch Enemy/Carcass tour does go ahead, I will get to see Alissa 👍

I wasn't disagreeing on that part. I was disagreeing that Jinjer were the creator of that particular vocal style.

Deafheaven!!! Yes! I posted this on my FB a while back, nobody liked it..

Ha, yes - I understand you meant the video aspect rather than the vocal style. Nothing like listening to a melodic, peaceful line of song knowing full well that someone's going to start shouting any second .. Also, not trying to be an arse or anything, but Angela Gossow was doing the death metal vocals when she fronted Arch Enemy a good twenty years ago...

Disagree. Opeth have been doing that since their first album 'Orchid' in 2000.

I thought the core belief in Satanism was neutrality? Although, I am aware that there is more than one school of thought regarding what true Satanism is/means.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

😁 Oh you kidder, you.
