The Crosstalk Black-Metal Riff-Off: Update The Second
April 11, 2008
Just a friendly reminder from your friendly friends at Crosstalk:
SUMBIT YOUR RIFFS TO CROSSTALK OR KNOW THE PAIN OF A THOUSAND DYING SNOW OWLS.
Allow me to clarify. We may never have another riff-off again*, so if you don't submit to this, the first and probably last Gearwire Crosstalk Black-Metal Riff-Off, you may never again have the opportunity to flaunt your doomskills in public. If you haven't even begun to compose your riff, refresh your memory as to the rules of this contest, and get a move on.
BONUS: if you feel like your riff-prowess isn't up to combat-snuff, submit you best Black-Metal Band Name. Good ones will get read on Crosstalk.
*We'll probably have another riff-off.
Listen to Crosstalk but not before you record your riffs, procrastinator.
Cool names
Hvile inne Pine (Norwegian for Rest in Torment, probably better for a death metal band but it's still cool)
Antikrist (Norwegian for Antichrist)
Kirken Brenner Avvikende (Norwegian for Church Burning Freaks, though it probably wouldn't be a good name)
Not the best names, but they work for me!
other translations
Also worth mentioning: The Norwegian word for "Beatles" is Mayhem, and the word for "Rolling Stones" is Emperor. Incidentally, given that logic Burzum is the Norwegian name for either the Plastic Ono band, or Wings. I can't decide which is a less favorable comparison.

henry is new and no one
henry is new and no one likes him. hes got the whole "i live in my moms basement but i make fun of others that live in thier mom's basement thing down man.
Hey now
I like Henry. I don't honestly get what beef people have with him. He makes a good addition to the Crosstalk crew, he knows what he's talking about and he's friendly. That he seems to have a lot of experience working in less-than-optimal recording conditions seems to be one thing people fault him for, but I'd say that it's a good thing because how many people looking for budget recording advice want to talk to someone who mostly works with Neve and SSL equipment? He's also a fine guitarist and given that he hasn't assaulted most of you jackasses for what you've said about him, pretty outstandingly patient. I highly doubt that he lives in his mom's basement, and those that do usually deserve to be made fun of, yourself included, given that you seemed to take particular offense to his remarks. Honestly if they made a bobblehead of Henry I would put one on my tour van's dashboard for good luck while touring.
I like your drink.
Seriously, iced tea AND lemonade. Sensory genius.
Anyway, while I have been the first to admit that I have found myself in less than ideal recording conditions (yes, I owned a Porta02 at the age of 14) I've also been lucky enough to experience the other end of the spectrum in the form of high-end studios in my years as a recording artist. Thanks for the level-headed (and well-written) response. This show is editorial, and I approach it from the angle of the young working musician that I am.
Also, look for Henry Signature Bobble-Headz to drop sometime this summer. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle on the flow!
oh arnold are you henry's
oh arnold are you henry's mom or what!?
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle on the flow! henry you SUCK!
