Temple of Blood - Overlord

Put off picking this one up for some time, while I liked the debut, was not overly impressed. Then I was going to get it, but it was sold out. Put an order in over at "Divine Metal Distro" the other day and saw they had this in, decided to give it a day in court...sure glad I did, bloody 'ell, this is really good!

When ToB was still posting here, he said they were working on a new album. Long overdue...

Progressively better than the first one. The next one should be even better.

He's not around anymore?

ToB hasn't posted here since June of last year according to his stats.

I think I've seen him post a couple times on Blabbermouth. I'm not sure why he disappeared from this board. He probably got bored with us... not enough drama these days.

He still posts regularly on the Metal Archives forum.

He was pretty active at Painkiller's forum. Not sure if he's still there or not.

Only problem is the production is so muddy.

He got tired of trying to convert our unwashed ears to the Way of his metal thinking. So, yeah, what Troublezone said...bored of us.

He was rather forcefully opinionated...

He got bored with this place once SD/Detuned left. I think his only reason for sicking around, was so he could disagree with him at every turn..

He's a normal guy who has opinions on things that he likes and dislikes. Not sure what peoples beef is.

i still need to pick up Overlord. So many albums....

No such thing. You either accept that other people have differing opinions, or get triggered because some one likes a different band than you.

I never had a problem with the guy but his verbal jabs with SD was always entertaining.

I thought DMD folded after the guy got exposed?

I liked what he brought to this site, but it was fairly obvious that the guy couldn't wait to tell both S.D and Ult how wrong they were. I enjoyed reading what he had to say, even when I didn't always agree with the guy. I just found it curious that he left right when S.D called it a day. It was as if, when his musical equivalent from the Bizarro world had left, he got bored. I just never saw him as a middle ground guy or someone who believed in a gray area. Thinks were either black or white with him.

I respectfully disagree. While I may have differences of opinion with many people over many things (Toho and his STUPID Star Wars self-imposed ban comes to mind ) I always thought ToB came across more than a bit douchy, elitist, self-important, etc...

But he was/is a talented musician.

Yeah I can see that I guess.  I just think sometimes people gang up on him too much, all for mostly just having an alternate opinion & passion about expressing it.

Star Wars sucks btw.

You and Toho can start a club!!
