| ___________________________________________ [Feb 17,2010 1:44pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] unless this band gets back together with their original line up i will continue to not give a shit about it. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 11:50am - ouchdrummer ""] listen, joke all you want, these guys are still touring, playing all over the world, and everyone that fills in drums OR guitar, kills it. I know they seem like they hire young, but wouldn't you? Just saying. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 11:51am - brian_dc ""] If they cut all of their songs in half, they'd be geniuses. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 11:52am - RichHorror ""] I'm not really a fan but they are doing a lot more than the majority of the people talking shit ITT. |

| ____________________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:03pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Epic song lengths was a major part of their musical appeal. All tracks on Forever Underground clock over 6 minutes and there's not a dull moment to be found. When Dechristianize came out, I hated it because I thought it had too many blasting sections. I've actually come to appreciate that album after years of dismissing it. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:04pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] All tracks not including that Mortiis styled instrumental, btw. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:06pm - brian_dc ""] I think post-Forever Underground they just got in the habit of playing the song, having a solo. Then playing the entire song over again the exact same way with almost no new development. That's what bugs me about their lengths. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:07pm - arilliusbm ""] I always loved the solo in Dechristianize. I think Glens vocals get a little monotonous though. |
| ___________________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:08pm - largefreakatzero ""] I dig the Into Cold Darkness era VR. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:08pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Totally agree, which is part of the reason I couldn't get into Dechristianize. I feel like I should give Icons of Evil a shot, 'cause I still consider VR one of the best death metal bands, due to their past efforts. |

"Now swear it, swear it, swear your oath to Saaataan!" I always liked the commanding aspect of this lyric - U SWEAR NOW! |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:50pm - goatcatalyst ""] First three albums are fucking unreal. Dawn of Apocalypse on... no care. Guess you gotta give Tony credit for soldiering on, but shit like ditching out of that Long Island show a few years ago and other similar antics just kill any credibility. Bring back Gruslin and Flynn or get fucked. |
| ____________________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 12:56pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Yeah, they'll never be able to top the first three. They used to put on a killer live show but it's been years since I last saw them. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 1:01pm - goatcatalyst ""] I've got a pretty sweet video I shot of them when Capharnaum played with them at Maxaluna's in '96. Can't really see shit since they played in total darkness with lights only on the baphomet scrims they had over their stacks and there was some fog goin on, but it sounded fuckin' mean. War in Paradise is my fuckin jam. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 18,2010 1:01pm - goatcatalyst ""] ... and that's how I prefer to remember Vital Remains. |
