"Sitar, check their next album if you haven't. Their most unique and personal endeavour. Has influences ranging from black sabbath to alice in chains. Great album."

That does sound pretty interesting. Will do!

Yeah, that album is quite adventurous. It's where these guys tried to cut short all of their connections with candlemass and form a sound completely their own.

Some of the best riffs ever made on that and one emotional as fuck track. I had to learn to love his vocals, because I was all about growls and shrieks, but I did and it was good.

I get your point notrap but even then we would still disagree :p. I don't think sorcerer's brand of doom metal took the genre to the next level. They are very good at what they do, but not game-changing good, imo.

"That sort of thing doesn't happen nearly often enough though"



It doesn't happen often enough because the songs do not dictate that approach or at least that's what Lowe & crew might have thought at that moment. It's definitely deliberate and i would never criticize an artist's approach to songwriting simply because I would expect something different. They know better than us, that's for certain.



That being said, you're not the first person who doesn't give acclaim to lowe's work. His voice has its advocates as well as its detractors. That proves that his voice is certainly of an acquired taste.

The solo section of "plague of procreation" is one of my favorite moments in metal music. That high-end note that wraps the guitar lick at around 2:52, is pure bliss.

I'm not implying it wasn't an artistic choice. Merely that it's an artistic choice that gets monotonous. Clearly the band as a whole are capable of a lot, but that is one thing that doesn't always work.

Every music album has some monotony in one form or another. Thing is how much it drags the quality down. Even if Lowe and Co. didn't hit it 100%, they pretty much nailed what they were trying to achieve here.



And even if we don't agree on the vocal part we can at least agree that it is a minor thing stacked in an almost flawless record.

Better instrumentation, tighter arrangements, and cleaner production.

Can't believe I didn't think of this before, but there's actually a sitar solo on Darkest Hour, in The 9th Day.
