God of thunder... hear my call (Jun 10 2004 23:53 GMT) - In case you're wondering why the frontpage is all in black today... Thomas "Quorthon" Forsberg, the frontman for pioneering Swedish metal band Bathory, has died of heart failure at the age of 39. Bathory's combination of garage-quality production and hardcore tempos, raw metal riffs and satanic lyrics through the '80s was instrumental in influencing the death metal scene. And Quorthon's inclusion of Nordic themes and orchestral flourishes in the '90s had a substantial impact on nascent Scandinavian black metallists, who fancied themselves Vikings. mtv. |

Re: Upstreaming impossible (Jun 10 2004 23:52 GMT) - I haven't been on a dialup connection in quite a while but I'm betting that part of the problem may have to do with timeouts between your modem and UserLand's servers.
