I got the same EP. It is a fantastic song. I probably paid too much for it (£7.99) but it is really very good. I wouldn't really class them as death metal because they just don't seem dark enough. They are insane, but not in a satanic way.

It is possible to play death metal without needing to be a satanist you know.

I know, but if you heard Meshuggah, you may see what I mean.

I agree so much. I also like ...And Justice for all

...And Justice For All is good, but it sounds rather flat and becomes pretty tedious. Still, it was the album where Metallica were at their most progressive. Up until the Black Album, Metallica didn't make any real mistakes musically- going for a more melodic and less harsh style was a good move financially, but for me it killed off an amazing band, as they all but shed their thrash style. With the exception of some great covers on Garage Inc, Metallica spent the 90s stagnating, culminating with the abhorrently awful St. Anger.
The first three are hotly reccomended by me, especially Master Of Puppets, a true metal masterpiece.

Before you wrote this I was going to use the phrase masterpiece to describe Master of Puppets. Any other phrase would be underselling it.

SWEET MAN, I'm at that show too! Should be FRICKEN sweet. I've seen KSE before at the astoria and they were amazing. The other band that is playing with them 'All That Remains', I think I am more looking forward to them because I bought their album after hearing one song and they are soooooo damn good. So, I gots to learn me a lot of their lyrics and get singing.
Also, I'd reccommend 'Poison The Well' to anyone who's after a hardcore band. And if you're after REALLY hardcore, you might even wanna try Dillinger Escape Plan. Best live show EVER.
