You reminded me that I had Gates of Ishtar on my hard drive and I hadn't listening to them. They sound pretty sweet.

And speaking of melodic death metal, I love **** like Heartwork and Slaughter of the Soul, but before they started sucking In Flames were some of the most fun **** ever.

But you have to wonder if they even know they aren't?
