Oh yeah, and I also just ordered the two newest Amaranthe albums. As far as the current crop of popular metal bands go, you're not gonna find one that pisses off old school metal neckbeards more. So of course I'm attracted to them like a moth to a flame. Well, I'm not sure how much I will like this overall, but these Swedes know how to do a mean pop-metal hook. I want to hear more metal that feels modern and forward looking. It's fairly slim pickings.
