	   Good point...Entombed seems kind of simple, musically, although I've
   heard people say they're sort of complicated relative to many death metal acts. 

Simple?  Listen to the title track of _Left Hand Path_, or "Premature autopsy"
off of the same album....there is a lot of complexity in their stuff, a lot 
more than other Sunlight studio work as of late...

   I'd pick Dismember or Impaler over them...

Yeah, both are good.  It seems like there is a certain level of quality put
out by most Swedish bands, and its just the massive number of cloned Death
metal bands that makes that quality sound bad.  I mean, listen to a lot of 
demos of American bands, then listen to demos of Swedish bands.  The Swedish
bands sound better than a lot of signed bands' debut releases.  

I think Entombed, Dismember, and maybe one or two other bands are ahead in
that they just have that extra touch to them.  its usually attitude.  its
hard to describe, but it puts a few bands ahead of the rest.

	   Strange as hell.  As if dealing with violent Christians wasn't enough,
   now there's the possibility of Satan's children raging ...  argh.  Strange
   world, stranger justifications...Dark Throne may be partof it, as their limited
   success sort of went to their heads, by fifteenthand report...

Christian death metal, anti-death metal satanists...what is next, 
anti-medical treatment doctors?

I think people need to get off of their anti-this, anti-that kicks.  just
because you oppose someone else's point of view based largely on your own
ignorance doesnt make you a tough ass.  try seeing the other side.  im 
probably the only person really into satanic death metal that has read the
bible (the king james bible) more than once all the way through.  not 
because im a religious zealot, but because i realized if i really wanted to
oppose the other side, i had to learn about what i was opposing.  now i 
know more about Christianity than most Christians do, and if a bible-banger
comes up to me and tells me my way of life is wrong, i can quote his own
weapon faster than he can.

plus if more people would realize this is true, you wouldnt have all of these
concerned parents groups and censors telling us our lifestyle is bad.  99% of
them dont even know what our lifestyle is.

well, im preaching, better stop.  Xenocide 4 is practically done, mail me
about it if you havent already.
