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)

I have no idea of anything. Zap might have got Lethrokai's right but then again he didn't answer yet.

Yeah, he just dropped that haiku and never came back...

Bongzilla - Amerijuanican?

Not that close.

I'm thinking Mastodon for Zaph's but none of the other clues really fit...

Except they totally do fit if you remember what their albums used to draw inspiration from...

I guess I'll go Mastodon - Remission, then, seeing as that album is supposedly about fire =P I see what you mean about "element" now.

Oh my fucking god Joe I don't understand your brain at all. That's twice that you guess the band but not the album.
CRACK THE MOTHERFUCKING SKYE!
Icarus burning - "Oblivion" is basically the story of Icarus.
The last element created - This album was themed around air, it was the last element they had to do.
By the extinct beast. - Mastodons are extinct.

You massively overrate my interest in lyrics and album's concepts =P I barely know Mastodon either, though.

Anyway, I'm counting that as a win

Journey without rest

Bumping the unresolved ones:

Mine:
The slow destruction
They are bitterly missed
Electric death squad


Leth's:
Solemn musical
Of man and his emotions
Colliding as one


Lit's:
It's magickal when
Flying like Angels we go
Straight into the light

Well, only the first line referred to the lyrics really. Everyone knows Mastodon based their first albums around the elements. And I never said it was an easy one But yeah, I guess you won since no one else even came close.

Yeah. And I had no idea Mastodon themed themselves that way. I thought they sung about Mastodons and hunting and shit -_-

Well, sorry then. I guess my knowledge of Mastodon goes further than most fans (which makes sense I suppose)

Haha, ok, this one... Well, let's just see how this goes:

You hate me, kiss me
Punish me and play with me
My hidden longing

I think we need a hint. I'll write a second haiku to help, much less inspired:

We might come back
Our values are our titles
We live our music

Yeah it felt like you were giving birth or something. Write one but take a break from guessing.

Emotional birth yeah
(Now I definitely owe Bolt Thrower another spin.)
And I still have an unresolved one, but I guess I'll write one more because why the hell not. You think I got better things to do?

Also negative
I admit this one might be a little hard for some, but it will be extremely easy for others. I'll give hints if it doesn't work out.

And here's the other one I still owe for, uh, "guessing" Ilham's. And this one's probably even harder (yes, I want others to feel my pain)

The risen pheonix
On his left hand, the demons
On his right, the cold


And I'll bump all the others real quick:

Leth's:
Solemn musical
Of man and his emotions
Colliding as one


Lit's:
It's magickal when
Flying like Angels we go
Straight into the light


My other one:

Oh yeah they are.
There was a time when I was searching for some lo-fi punkish industrial metal and could not find it, until they came and delivered exactly what I was willing to listen

Yeah they're one of the first bands I ever saw live, they're ridiculously entertaining on stage, you should watch some vids. I should listen to their stuff it's been literally years. I even think I nine'd one of their albums back in the day.
