Don't confuse this store with the Australian 
store of the same name: www.metalmayhem.com.au
I've dealt with them solidly, and they have 
alot of stuff thats is normally pretty hard 
to get hold of anywhere in Australia, and 
their prices are quite decent.
If you're from the US, you should check them 
out coz our exchange rate is currently quite 
shocking, and you may be surprised by what 
prices you'll end up getting stuff for. 

Reimport again ;-)

"limited emotional spectrum" doesn't mean "unemotional" -- He's limited to 
happier tunes.

The lyrics are certainly dark, but the music isn't too dark.  Heck, the 
chorus with slightly different words could be a love song...

Is that the same band who did "Zodiac"? -- I couldn't even get through that 
album once due to the cheeze factor.  Is this one better?

I think his parts in Finally Free, specifically the chimes, are
suitably dark and sinister.

Which is exactly the style of FII, so it would have fit perfectly.

Indeed. This is not your typical crappy Top 40 "pop".

No, it was made completely in Europe (Italy, Germany, France), so 
technically it's simply an import.

Im not sure if he, as producer had anything to do with choosing who got more "screen time" but i noticed that in this DVD  Mikey doesnt get as much screen time as on other discs!!
Shy maybe?

seeing the name of this song made me think of another band who does a song
by the same name, only spelled "Xodiac".  anyone familiar with geezer
butler, the bassist from black sabbath?  he did a little solo thing a
while back, simply under the name "geezer", and the album is called "black
science".  there are songs on it i love, and songs on it i absolutely
can't stand.  the singer isn't necessarily a cookie monster at times, but
he is definelty a screamer.  however, he puts his voice through so many
chameleon-like changes, that i can't help but be impressed.  the music is
very solid too, however a far cry from anything resembling sabbath.
anyone else heard of this album?  what do you think about it?  give it a
shot if you haven't.

 Hi guys,

 I have the DVD now and I am wondering how many easter egg kindof hidden
things there are. I found one (keywords: hypnotist acting), and I wonder
if there's more. I seem to miss some of the 190 total minutes.

I love listening to DT's AWAKE CD for the dark mood and aggressive
atmosphere.  It's all over that CD and I eat it up.

OK, I give up!  Where on earth can I get a copy of StM or TLF, or any of 
those other non-album songs?  Also, does anyone know where I can purchase 
the DT singles for Lie, Hollow Years, et cetera?  I am very interested in 
buying all of DT's non-album material, but I don't want to buy any bootlegs, 
just the commercially available stuff.

Thanks everyone,

><Would I have preferred Speak to Me over any of those last three? of
course! I also would have liked to see To Live Forever(a PHENOMENAL
song) replace The Silent Man.><
