I do work in IT, but it has nothing to do with why I've visted Slovakia. :)

My first trip was in 2001, when I visited Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava. I needed to be in Vienna and I figured I should check out some places around it. Bratislava is only an hour away, so why not? I also went to an HC Slovan hockey game there.

I also lived in Budapest for a year and a half (2010-2011). While I was there, I made a couple of trips to Košice with friends, a few trips to Bratislava to see bands and for the Christmas market, and a trip to Trenčín to see Zdeno Chára show off the Stanley Cup. I'm a Boston Bruins fan, and Miroslav Šatan is my favorite player. :)

[IronSentinel]

another argentinian here :D

[Mizrael]

... and Miroslav Šatan is my favorite player. :)

And mine!!! :D
He used to be a killer in his days! it's a shame that he ended up his national career with arguing with Zdeno and the coach. our team is worth nothing without these old stars...
Still looking forward to the world cup here in switzerland next year(my son is 3 now so i can finally take him to a game).

Great album indeed! Speaking of black metal, i am glad to see some listeners here :cool:

[MoonShadow]

Love that profile picture, one of the greatest albums ever recorded.You are right, sir! One of the best ones released in the 90s (not a good period for metal, IMO) and one of the greatest of all-time, a perfect mix of black/death with a melodic touch, filled with passion, hatred and dedication... still nothing compares to this gem, after all these years.


You're so right Chaos! Bought it right when it was released in '95 and still flashes me \m/Listened to "Night's Blood", back in the day, on some Nuclear Blast compilation, and was completely floored by the song, then by the whole album, still going strong in my player, frequently.


Great album indeed! Speaking of black metal, i am glad to see some listeners here :cool:Same here! I do enjoy some good black metal, old & new!

Sorry to continue off topic and a bit late(forgot about this post), but i would disagree with this statement.
IMO the 90's saw the birth of some of the best albums of metal i have heard till these days. let me name just a few examples: black metal-satyricon,behemoth,dissection,marduk,dimmu borgir,gehenna,bergthron(less famous,but i just love the song "uralte gedanken"!) dare i say Cradle of filth?...for some?
and from doom metal i'll just mention my two favorite albums ever: Amorphis-Tales from the thousand lakes and Anathema-Serenades

But i'm also glad that there are black metal fans around!

But i'm also glad that there are black metal fans around!Marduk is my favorite black metal band, so many great albums. I also love Watain, Deathspell Omega, Cult of Fire and so much more. The US has finally started to produce some good black metal with new bands like Uada, Pale Chalice, Panopticon and Wolves in the Throne Room of course. I got to see Amorphis play the entire 'Tales from the Thousand Lakes' album at Maryland Deathfest a couple of years ago, great experience. I have to check out Bergthron, missed them along the way somehow. Maybe we need to start a thread somewhere so us metal connoisseurs can recommend obscure bands to each other...

Hi Moonshadow,
I'm not from Romania but my wife is. She's from Cluj, originally from Dej. Where do you come from in Transylvania? Did you see Maiden when they played at Polus a few years ago? I wish I could go there but didn't get free from work back then. We were in Cluj about a week after they played to visit my mother in law. She's living in Floresti, so I could almost walk to Polus from there.
Greetings from Germany, Pepp

BTW, I got the Vampire Hunter from that Eddie Event a few month ago. He was on the Tour Shirt from Cluj. I wish, I even had that shirt.

This is possibly the greatest exchange in LotB forum history. Transylvania?? I'd give Moonshadow my VHE if I could. This is why I stick around, great people's from one stretch of the globe to the other. Brb gonna go drink some blood.

[Mizrael]

@Chaosego- Haha! no hard feelings about missing Bergthron...they never made it big(think they only made an EP) and the lyrics are in german,dedicated to pagan germanic god Wotan. but as someone on their YT video commented- this is how pagan metal should sound...

[MoonShadow]

@Mizrael:
Well… I have to admit that I was thinking mostly about the end of the 90s, when metal, as a genre, wasn’t as good as it was during the entire 80s, but maybe I shouldn’t compare in that way, as every decade has its own highs and lows. It’s a good subject for debate, anyway, I’ve always liked to discuss about, as I was thinking back then that everything related to metal will disappear someday, due to some disappointments from the favorite bands. For example, let’s take Iron Maiden, as their best albums were released in the 80s and what they’ve released during the 90s wasn’t so convincing as their 80s albums, and everyone expected that they will disband. Or Judas Priest, they’ve practically vanished for the most 90s and they didn’t reach their previous popularity with Jugulator.

Sure, speaking about black metal, that was the period for the genre, lots of bands and great albums, mostly from Sweden, Norway or Finland, but Greece and UK had their own gems, I still enjoy some old Cradle of Filth.

And those two albums you mentioned are still going strong in my playlists nowadays, loved them since their release. I’ve also got the opportunity to witness an Anathema gig in 1993, when Darren White was still their main man, they did an awesome performance, playing most of Serenades…. two or maybe three members were painted as a black metal band and they were storming the stage (I don’t think they’re still the same nowadays).

@Chaosego:
It would be great to have such a thread here around, I’m always in search for good music. I’ve liked Uada’s debut album, I know about Panopticon & WitTR, but I didn’t listen too much to them, and I’ve heard for the first time now about Pale Chalice... I will check them out asap.

US has some good black metal, lately, aside Uada, there are more bands I currently like: Nightbringer, Pact & Nethervoid comes to mind right now, but there are some more.

@Pepp:
Hello mate! So glad to hear that, we have beautiful women here, I’m sure you noticed it.
I’ve been living in Cluj-Napoca, way back at the end of the 90s, but only for a brief beriod. It’s really a nice city and I’m still missing those days. I live currently in a small town near Hunedoara (where the Corvin Castle is located, maybe you heard about it), in the Hunedoara county, that’s located around 150 km from Cluj, maybe sometime when you’ll come to Romania and want to travel around, you may come here in this area, I can glady show you some nice places in this county.

I wasn’t been able to attend that Maiden concert, too, and I’ve been soooo angry for that, as I’ve had to go at a wedding... it was really a sad day for me, but I didn’t have no choice. I haven’t seen Maiden playing live and that was the closest place they’ve played. Life’s a bitch, sometime. Maybe that shirt was special made for that Transylvanian gig...?!

@Jofer:
Thanks for your kind intention, it would’ve been a pleasure to accept such offer, sadly the devs don’t have the intention to make it happen, I would’ve give you something in exchange, but I don’t know if you need a character from this game... LoL@brb purpose..

[Peppoah]

Hi Moonshadow, here's a picture of the shirt. 3660
I haven't been to Hunedoara yet because we have to visit my wife's mother and some friends who all live in the Cluj area. But we managed to visit Brasov and Sighisoara a few years ago. Maybe when I'm retired in about 20 years, we will have time to visit the whole country.
If you come near the area of Würzburg, I can also show you some nice places.

@Jofer: Good to have you back, at least in the forum.

[MoonShadow]

Hi Peep, that's a nice shirt, indeed, I haven't seen the print before, its looking so good with that castle in the background that reminds me of the one I've told you in my previous post. Hope you'll get the time you want, to visit this country and maybe others, I will retire after the same 20 years, we'll see what the next two decades will bring. :)

Brasov and Sighisoara are also some nice places, hope you've enjoyed the time spent there, next time, if you can, try visiting al least Sibiu (Hermannstadt), I believe you'll be amazed how much it resembles off a german town.

[Mizrael]

i guess that is the corvin castle indeed :)
Nice

[MoonShadow]

i guess that is the corvin castle indeed :)
NiceYou think so? I wasn't so sure, but if it really was their intention, it's a very nice tribute to Transylvania! \m/
