Credits go for Ilham, who started it here.

The game is simple: Create a haiku describing a metal album, then the others will try to guess.

For instance, I'm going to start with something simple, just so the game can begin smoothly:

Once it was ready
Suddenly not anymore
Maybe other time


Guess this, then the winner takes the turn (or passes forward if he wishes so)

Some random guesses:
Desert father: Dog Fashion Disco - Committed To A Bright Future?
Lit: Runemagick - Moon Of The Chaos Eclipse?

Nope for mine. Clue: It really would stink if the title was anything to go by.

I won't be able to post for a few hours, so the answer to mine was Eschatological Scatology.

If you like industrialised madness, you should try that aids album.

I do from time to time. The HIV is a huge selling point though, I'll check it out asap.

That just sounds like The Work Which Transforms God again (Choir of the dead, post-apocalypse, etc)

Ugh, I was gonna say that based on her giving the album a 10 but I've never heard the album -_-

Anyhow, Joe, bless us with your poetry

Hehe just because I feel like it, I'll post another while Joe thinks of one, less obvious but still easy:

The slow destruction
They are bitterly missed
Electric death squad

Exhale deeply
Though sleep terrifies me still
Must try to forget

Now that is an easy one. I'll go in gently, because I'm a gentleman

Fair enough, but I didn't think it was easy
I finally guessed a real one though (Wintersun and Darkspace didn't count)

Here's one:

Icarus burning
The last element created
By the extinct beast.

When I saw Icarus + beast I thought Iron Maiden, but extinct must mean disbanded. God I'm shit at this.

Not necessarily, but it's not Iron Maiden.
You're good at writing them though

I think it's safe to say that this is one of the most interesting threads on this site.

Aww thanks, it's like the poorly draw thread all over, good at making them, poor at guessing them. But no it's not TO-. I can help a little by saying I described the band's style of playing (line 1) a particular genre with a hint at their name (line 3).

Damn, if I'd gone with my gut on your other haikus I'd have been correct, but not this time
Electric Wizard?

And since no one has guessed my latest one since I left:
line 1: reference to a song off the album
line 2: reference to the theme of the album
line 3: reference to the band's name (not their current state)

No Zaph, not Electric Wizard . Maybe a hint? The second line is about their current status.

So yours is about a band with dodos in their name right? Hahaha. Or a dinosaur.

Damn didn't think about Lit's.

Yeah, I figured that second line meant they're disbanded. That's why I said Type O Negative. Electric Wizard was just a desperate guess.
I really have no idea, someone else will have to take this one. And Lit's. And that one guy that still hasn't replied back's.

And dinosaur is close, sort of. Need more hints?

Damn you guys come up with some hard riddles =p
I have no idea of anything. Zap might have got Lethrokai's right but then again he didn't answer yet.

Bongzilla - Amerijuanican?
Shaolin Death Squad? (too obvious) I dunno
