As expected. New round of cuts. 120 in the division across Norway, 25 at our location. Don't know how many in our department.

At the next concert, Bruce takes the mic:
"Aye, we pulled up yesterday next to the President of France and the Chancellor of Germany, and asked them if they needed a tug down the runway. It was like sitting next to a couple of VW bugs, you know what I mean? Anyway, this next song has got a main riff bigger than Angela Merkel's aircraft."

After that meeting at work, I left an hour early and took a long bike trip in the woods north of the city. Was lovely. Now a beer in the evening sun

Hm. We currently have active threads on "Death Metal" and "Black Metal." I'm not sure I know the difference. I'm not sure I care.
Very different. I'm sure one of our resident experts can explain.

Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
I'll leave the explanation to one of the experts, but I'll say this: They're different enough that Death Metal is one of my favorite genres while Black Metal is one of my least favorite genres.

I haven't listened to black metal in a long time but it was my favourite metal genre some 5-7 years ago while I was just getting into metal. I thought heavy metal was lame back then 
. Cannibal Corpse was my favourite death metal band at the time. My taste has changed a lot since then but some of that stuff is still good to listen to every now and then.
The most obvious difference between the two is perhaps the lack of growling in black metal, which is replaced by a "screeching" of sorts. Also differences in melody: black metal is often accompanied by more symphonic sounds and calmer passages.

Two different genres. If I were to describe the difference in a simple way, I'd say death metal is based on rhythm and riffs (it's also more technical), whereas black metal is more about chord progressions, melodies and atmosphere (heavy use of tremolo picking and blast beats).

Nice examples chosen there. Death and Amon Amarth may be the only two death metal bands I still enjoy.

Agreed, both really good examples of the genres. Black metal sounds darker overall to me, drenched in discord.

Both genres overlap in that way...as in...you can find very melodic black metal but also very discordant death metal.
