I love how they try to make it sound like it isn't spam. This one even has valid BBCode!
Or did SS make it valid. It'd be a shame if he did. :miffed:.

Question: what the fuck? Worms had a theme tune? You want to have said theme tune?

Opeth concerts are an odd mix. You get emos, goths, regular metal fans, irregular metal fans, and assorted other hangers on.
In other news, the new I album just arrived. Indeed yay at supergroups. If Immortal were a Bathory-esque thrash band with members of Enslaved and Gorgoroth, you'd ge... wait a second.
I - Between Two Worlds
Clear sights through the depths I ride, Inside my mind the thoughts I hide, I ought to burn my existence, And burn to be...
The visions that was brought to me, Not different from my fantasy, Between Two Worlds I am, Quested not to be...
I ride beyond the realms of the past, I see the sights of what won't last, From the blinding daylight, To the utter dark...
The golden winter blows a breeze, Not different from my fantasies, Dark and light far in sight, Quested not to be...
Too long I have dwelled in shadows, Too long I have slept in shades, Too long I have searched desires, Release me so I can awaken...
Between Two Worlds, Between Two Worlds,
Clear sights through the depths I ride, Inside my mind the thoughts I hide, I ought to bear my existence, And burn to be...
The vision that was brought to me, Not different from my fantasies, Between Two Worlds I am, Quested not to be, Quested not to be...

Mmm. Supergroups.
I - The Storm I Ride
I ride the wind, Of no return, My soul is cold, My mind burns, I ride by fate, With all my hate, This is my search, This is my state,
I ride the storm, Of no reverse, My spirit starved, This is my trust, I journey fast, This time won't last, My fate is sealed, There's none revealed,
The Storm I Ride, Again and again, A soul of ice, Storm I ride, 'Til the end, The Storm I Ride,
I ride the war, That's on my own, My will is strong, I bow to none, I have my fate, I breathe my hate, Into your soul, You're in the cold,
The Storm I Ride, Again and again, A soul of ice, Storm I ride, 'Til the end, The Storm I Ride.

Watching Top Gear on bbc3 reminded me of this one. The makers of that program have taste.
Killing Joke - Invocation
Hearts of darkness and hate, O evil, oblivion your fate, O betrayers I come, A war without end, my enemy's enemy is my friend,
Mankind becomes the whore, Temples are empty - no law, False religions shall rise, Flags of scarlet shall fly, O destroyer of world, Babylon,

BPSITE / Arts & Literature / What book should I read next?

Any idea if its another trilogy, or a five book series, or...? Trilogy. The second is already out - 'Last of the Wilds' considering the speed of that, I wouldn't be surprised if the third was out in 2007, but you never know. I'll have it on pre-order from the first day Amazon list it - very, very eager to find out how that series is going to end. And, yeah, I agree with the comments re: the Black Magician trilogy. When I read Knife of Dreams, I couldn't remember any of the even remotely minor characters. There was a similar gap between me reading The Novice and The High Lord, and yet I could remember everyone - possibly because there were far fewer characters? Still, I could probably name/describe most of the Black Magician characters, 2 years after reading it...

Trudi Canavan is my very favourite author, by a long, long way. I'd suggest you read the Black Magician trilogy first, if you haven't (mainly because Age of the Five isn't finished yet, and I assume you hate waiting for books as much as I do; Age of the Five has better characters, better story... better).
Phillip Pullman is very good, but, honestly, you should've read them a good 5+ years ago. Amber Spyglass is by far the worst of the trilogy - personally it gets worse as it goes. I'd suggest reading Northern Lights and leaving it there, unless you really honest-to-god must know how it ends.
Battle of Corrin sucked hard. Read it only for completeness.

I finished Knife of Dreams at the weekend. I didn't like the ending. Or much of the book, really. There were some bits I liked, but too much dithering and.... argh the bloody words in some parts of it were just ridiculously obscure. Like 'widdershins' - WTF!?! (of course I know what it means now, its a Scottish word for anticlockwise, but that just makes its use more baffling - stating the direction of the spiral staircase is really unnecessary.) Anyhow, been wondering what to read next and I'm still not sure. I think I'll go start a vote and let people here decide. It's a load of bollocks. Sorta glad he's dying, in a way... puts a limit on how much longer he can draw it out.
