I see and read everything you wrote, and I understand you all have your favorites and such...
Metal is such a WIDE thing that of course you won't get each time a band you like, it's impossible...
I'll try to cover as many types of metal as possible, as long as I find stuff to talk about and make fun vids about...
you could do a thousands of websites, each about different types of music, so if we have so far ONE show about the ginosmous REALM of Metal, obviously you won't get exactly what you were expecting...
I guess consider it a step towards that world...

hey benzaie,
will you be at W:O:A this year (or were you in the past few years)? not that i'm a fucking lunatic that'd haunt your tent, but it would be awesome to know.

I was supposed to be at HELLFEST 09 since it's just a 2 hours drive from here...
but it seems that even that has been cancelled, to bad because I could have done a Heavy Metal Package LIVE at Hellfest !

What are you talking about? Hellfest hasn't been cancelled.

Woah Badass BENZAIE, THERION!!!!!!!Does it make you hardcore???

Okay, the part where you rant about the Runic Teleprompter was golden. "Just think about how this works...IS THERE SOMEONE ACTUALLY OPERATING THIS?" It's so true. If you think about it, your head might explode. :P
But wait...making your head explode...correct this layperson if he's wrong, but isn't "head explodage" something inherently metal?!
-
Nice one benzaie! :) If you like Therion, you probably know and like the following bands: Epica, After Forever, Sirenia, Tristania, Haggard and Eluveitie.
If not, you should check them out! :)

The best metal band ever, huh? Clearly, you've never heard of [url=http:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=x8Js8kYET98]Wolfcat[/ url]. :P
But seriously, I like this idea for a new segment. There aren't enough music critics here and I appreciate how difficult it is to review such a wide and varied medium, so I'm glad to see you step up to the plate.
The gong bit at the beginning was a great joke to start with. I appreciate your honesty and your ability to talk about the good as well as the bad, though I have to admit there were times when I wasn't completely sure what you were driving at. There were quite a few times when I wasn't quite sure if you liked the song or hated it.
Still, the segment is good and the greenscreen gags were hilarious. Keep 'em coming, but don't forget to send in a few game reviews as well when you can.

That doesn't sound right... :whistle:
Pretty good video though.

Thereon is freaking awesome. I also highly recommend the Finnish folk metal band, Turisas. I saw them live in New York City, along with Eluveitie, Ensiferum, and Tyr. Boy, was that excellent!

Love Therion, love this video. It's good to see someone finally call the genre out on the dungeon videos.
-
06.08.2009 - 07:48 | adrasl300Exactly!
Metal videos pretty much suck....most of the time.
-
06.07.2009 - 22:19 | Melis
Yeah, like it!
Finally someone who does metal here.
Can you do the band Volbeat also?
They are really really cool!
Keep on with the good work!

Benzaie... have my babies.
Great new series!
-
06.07.2009 - 22:52 | dicnarhaha! A great beginning of a great serie :D It's funny how many bands play for like 20 years thrn suddenly became famous for n oactual reason.
-
06.07.2009 - 22:57 | nighthawkBenzaie's Heavy Metal Package? Yeah, I can get into this series........ :evil: AS LONG AS IT'S METAL!!!!!! :evil:
hehe I have a "band"
-
I first thought you were going to talk about the Heavy Metal movies and game but that's on cool new show there aaaaaaannnnnnddddd if you are going to keep covering Europen Hard Rock bands could you do a review on Rammstein and Guano Apes.
-
06.07.2009 - 23:15 | Richard WeskerI enjoy alot of music from outside the USA. In fact, about 90% of the shit I love is made in other countries. I don't think I've ever heard any Therion, but I'm interested now, I must admit.

06.07.2009 - 23:17 | Juel92
Yeahhh metal :D. Now do cannibal corpse xD

Great thing Ben! :D
You should do a whole episode about the shitty music videos of metal bands! Oh wait you should do a whole series about shitty metal videos! XD
(BTW I like metal ;D)
-
06.08.2009 - 08:57 | adrasl300Go back to your Nu Metal!
-
I've read trough about 6 pages of comments and it's so sad, that You people are so SERIOUS. Just like someone was offending Your mother and or sth like this.
Get some distance for God's sake. This is all about Ben's hillarious sense of humor. And You make this "Holy Wars..."
-
06.09.2009 - 14:15 | dethf_ck
pffft, you sir, have a sad view of metal
-
lol this is awesome man good work
the dungeon thing is so true its either that or forest... Atleast the forest is real ^^ If your a big power metal fan I cant wait to see what other bands your going to do keep them up dude!
*insert claw gesture here*

I like this.
Therion is one of my all time favorites. If you vant to see a good Therion clip watch Summer Nigt City it is a wery cheap clip but its great.
-
06.08.2009 - 00:50 | Jinx_McEllroyDear Benzaei.
First; if you are planning to do more packages please stop stereotyping people who like metal. Frankly this is the way metal is always portrayed in the media and it is rather insulting. Why can't you do a serious review instead?
Second; if you truly love Therion then do them justice by discussing their "deep" lyrical content and influence on the metal scene, instead of picking easy points and stereotyping.
Thank you.
-
06.08.2009 - 08:56 | adrasl300He's not serious and you have to be dense to believe in those stereotypes anyway
-
06.09.2009 - 05:46 | Jinx_McEllroyI just believe that an intelligent guy like Benz could do a much more nuanced and interesting review instead of taking the low road.
-
06.08.2009 - 00:53 | otakursed
Rock that shit! Particularly like the runic teleprompter bit :D And as a humble suggestion of my own, how about giving Angra a try in the future?
-
06.08.2009 - 00:54 | Malyce
nice Benzaie. Heavy Metal is exactly what I missed here. And Therion really is a cool band. Hope to see more Heavy Metal Packages :)
