My taste for Swedish metal is probably more early to mid 2000 Opeth (Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Ghost Reveries), early Bloodbath ( anything with Akerfeldt) even early Entombed (Left hand path).
Soilwork and In flames lost me along the journey. To me it has become a form of modern metal. To me modern metal is a bit repetitive and showcases instrumental virtuosity like a Dream Theater. I find that stuff pretty empty these days.
Giving this album a flogging. Bit of Hetfield in the cleansâŚSo EPIC. From the Inside, The Aisle of Fire and Undercity are my favours
New tune
So much new music in my wheel house. ( This is all Power / Heavy Rock - save you a click if that ainât your jam 
)
Also enjoying the new Amaranthe album.
Tuned right down. So good.
Thatâs cool. But unlike the many that hate St Anger, Iâve always liked it it.
Really liking these guys, all instumental.
Going to see Machine Head in a few days and havenât been to a show in years.
Question: Ear plugs or not? If yes, whatâs the best? Canât ever remember wearing them before.
Yes and I just wore construction ones but others probably have better suggestions
I recently bought a pair of these to see Blink 182 a few weeks agoâŚâŚthey worked amazingly well.
Cool. Thanks for the advice
anyone going to Knotfest? was hoping Disturbed would do a separate gig but alas not 
Check this one out if you have 5
