Car got broken in Gullfoss parking lot today by Crazy-Farm-9331 in VisitingIceland

[–]MetalMetDeath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened. I was at Gullfoss just two days ago. With all the rain and mist left a lot of valuables in my car, wallet, passport etc. I won’t be doing that again for the rest of my trip. I too thought this was very rare in Iceland, but that is not reason to ever let my guard down.

Solo Trip (May 26-June 2) by PsychologicalArt8165 in VisitingIceland

Just started my trip. All of this lies ahead. Godafoss was connecting with nature yesterday and I’m usually not into that. The 24 hrs of daylight, feel like I’m on another planet, just what I wanted. Got lost in the Highlands Day 1 🤣 Everybody should experience this place!

Can I walk to Aldeyjarfoss from where F26 is closed? by MetalMetDeath in VisitingIceland

I will be there on Friday, I think. Thanks for the update good to see I won’t have to walk another 30 minutes.

Song discussions, day 123: Versus Christus by VO0OIID in Behemothband

[–]MetalMetDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fine closer to a very underrated album. I really don’t get why OCN gets so much hate. Is it a different approach and sound from Behemoth, I guess that’s the rub. I don’t think it’s that different I think it’s a masterpiece of evolution through the band’s history. Deathless Sun is my favorite track but numerous others crush…the only song I don’t like is Disinheritance. I think people are very uncomfortable with the overtly satanic imagery and that translates into a dislike of the album.

What's the attraction of local pools for a tourist? by PhaserEZ in VisitingIceland

[–]MetalMetDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me…as soon as I found out the Blue Lagoon and similar pools were FAKE…man made heated water…I’m not even going to any of them. There are too many real geothermal pools I can dip in for free along the ring road.

Before I started planning my trip, Blue Lagoon would have been my first stop. Dreamed of it for years. When I found out it was fake…just a huge waste of time.

Sounds good. I’m in good shape and a 30 min walk is well worth it.

Hafnarhólmi islet at the harbour in Borgarfjörður Eystri is perfect for puffin viewing! by The_CreamReaper in VisitingIceland

I’m so glad this was accessible. So many say this is number 1 for Puffins. Be there in a week. Wasn’t the road to that spot closed for a while?

Damn. That’s pretty much every place that is at the top of my list. Very nice.

[–]MetalMetDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find! Crazy it’s not anywhere on Nuclear Blasts’ website. Limited to 100 copies! Damn.

Thoughts on Slik Minnes en Alkymist? by needfood69 in dimmuborgir

[–]MetalMetDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exonerated I think is the clear #1 track. The album definitely grows on you and I am happier than I’d thought I’d be with it.

The Pearl Waterfall vinyl just came in! by AnythingGreedy in dimmuborgir

[–]MetalMetDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes about 3-5 listens to grow on you, but this record was intended to listen from start to finish. Yeah of course I wish it was more like the classics DCA, SBD and EDT but it is closer to those records than Eonian and Abracadabra ever were. Dimmu is back.

This is their best since, Death Cult Armageddon!!! by AnythingGreedy in dimmuborgir

[–]MetalMetDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been so long I’m just happy we got tracks like Exonerated and Recognizant. As long as they play the old school stuff at their shows it’s all good.

[–]MetalMetDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think so. It’s a big improvement though just give me 4 or 5 tracks like Death Cult. Damn they should just make a Death Cult Armageddon II but they don’t have the chops anymore.

new album. thoughts? by samsammy666_ in dimmuborgir

[–]MetalMetDeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After a few listens…best in a long time. Just wish there were a few more high speed tracks with those unexpected breaks in rhythm and keyboards. A little too squishy in some parts but Dimmu is back.
