This album is much better than Error in Evolution, and it'd be more likely to turn your opinion around of the band than any of them, even though I think the one before it is superior.
Your name from the Insomnium song?
I might check it, although it's not exactly high up on the priority list. I'll take your word for it though, so it better not suck.
It's kind of from the Ins. song, but also from people constantly referring to me as a killjoy. Figured it was fate since one of my favorite albums is AtWW (even though my favorite song on the album is Drawn to Black).
Ah, so you're a party pooper? A KB'er? lol. That's what I would infer from the word being interpreted literally, anyway. The only way I heard "killjoy" used before was in old, old comics, probably Spiderman. I haven't checked your profile, could be used more commonly where you live?
ah, my fav is StDIACD. But that's always shifting around w/ the 1st 3, the last 2 are overall lacking in subtlety and cerebral effect but still I think they have the "seal of quality" in the end, at least they can write a riff... then, OFS hasn't grown on me yet.
...and w/ the One Man Army album, Dark Epic, don't look for insane bells n whistles, it's just melodic death metal but it's done well, and more brutal than most melodeath. Every song on this album varies from the one before it in theme, structure and approach, while sticking to the concept and the music sticking to the genre's confines and the band's style. The lyrics are immature on all One Man Army albums, they're supposed to be; Johan is living vicariously through his songs in order to do dumb, fun shit, and I think it has an honest charm, and is not dumb on the level of Barnes' "Tomb of the Mutilated" (though maybe not as fun, either lol). So I hope you like it, and if you do, please give "Grim Tales" the album between Error in Evolution & Dark Epic, a listen, for I feel it is one of the best entries I have ever heard in this sub-genre. (Johan's former project, The Crown, blows this away, but it's not like it does everything that this does better... musicianship-wise it does, and w/ songwriting I'd probably give them the edge, but One Man Army covers some other grey areas that the Crown doesn't and does it well.. if we were comparing them)
