Very impressed by Mors Principium Est's new album Dawn of the 5th Era. Definitely some of the best melo death I've heard all year. Much better than At The Gates, and I enjoyed theirs..

Well, I'm relieved. Appetite was the soundtrack to my youth.

G'n'R was also the first rock band I fell in love with when I was 8 years old. I even got my mum to have the bloody logo printed on my denim jacket and felt pretty cool with it.

Maynard Friedman

That jacket's getting a bit small for you now Max, I think it's safe to stop wearing it!

I was a tall kid and wore oversized clothes, I'm sure it would make a nice vest though.
