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)

Was my guess of Human Equation as the emotion one confirmed or not?

I'm sorry, I forgot about this thread.

Hint: The term "angel" is supposed to be a reference to the band's name, but the term actually doesn't fit with the name as I had to shorten it for the haiku to work. A more appropriate term would be "hybrid angel" or, in other words, "biblical giants."

Bam.

I knew that hint was too revealing.

I feel really stupid about Lit's one.. I was actually singing that song (walk straight into the liiiiight) after I first read his haiku -_-

As for Joe's haiku, I'm thinking Botanist - I: The Suicide Tree / II: A Rose From The Dead
Although I wasn't gonna guess anymore.

Nobody knows. Lethrokai comes, spreads his knowledge as a poem, and vanishes never to be seen again, leaving us amongst the obscure universe of our curiosity

Since no one has guessed the punish and play one, here's a hint:
The whole haiku consists of song-titles from the album.

And no one has even tried for the other one so you can suck it.

Nooooooo.

Clue time: First line describes the album title, and the second and third describe the band name.

Yeah, I figured that one would be too hard.
First line refers to how the band came into existence (this should need no further explaining)
Second line is the translation of the album title (think about different ways to write 'demon')
The 'cold' in the last line refers to one of the main member's past projects.

Here's another one, should be easy:

Abuse of power
Strings come from many forces
Controlling the dead.

I want to say that sounds like Master Of Puppets, but that third line makes me wonder, because the song itself is about drug addicts.
