Any other Stoner/Doom metal fans?

[Jondur]

How are Soloman Kane? I almost got some stuff by them a few days ago...

Soloman Kane are a bit of a mysterious entity. Apparently they've been around since the 80s releasing only a few demos of extremely raw doom metal. Legend has it that they play 2 gigs a year in a secret moorland venue on the Summer and Winter Solstice.

Confusion surrounds who is actually in SK but mainman Titus Crowe (when he's not in jail) seems to the only constant member.

Pate: Solstice are indeed back. Only main songwriter and guitarist Rich Walker remains from the old lineup(s). Original drummer from Lamentations is back. Apart from that the new singer is Canadian but I've never actually heard him sing. Tom Philips from While Heaven Wept is 2nd guitarist and Diccon Harper (ex-DragonForce) is on bass.

The reissues are fantastic (including loads of great bonus tracks) and there is also a boxset with DVD coming out soon.

[Nepenthe]

That makes me really want to find some Soloman Kane.

And don't the other 3 members use the same false names?

Kickass.

[Nepenthe]

I just looked at Solomon Kane's myspace and apparentally they're releasing an album sometime in the near future. The Dread kicked enormous amounts of ***.

[RetiredAt21]

I love Graves At Sea.

[NemesisDivina]

what's the general feeling towards diSEMBOWELMENT on MX?

[RetiredAt21]

Graves At Sea is better.

[ATM]

Graves at Sea are pretty good.

I was blasting some Cathedral last night while driving, was pure bliss.

[RetiredAt21]

The only thing that bothers me about Graves At Sea is the vocals. He reminds me of Dani Filth a little bit. But eh, they are good.

[pixiesfanyo]

Electric Horsemen kill.

[Poofy 666]

New Isole scheduled for an early 2008 release :D


I've been listening to Forest of Shadows' Departure. He put in some electronic drum beats that vaguely resemble (dare I say it) rap beats. I was skeptical, but its still amazing.

[pate]

I was blasting some Cathedral last night while driving, was pure bliss.

There's nothing better than blasting Hopkins or Fountain of Innocence on a long roadtrip.

[ATM]

Tonight I realized how awesome Suma are. Any other fans?

[Kage]

Anthony is a big fan. I like them alright.

Anyone have any Knuse?

[pate]

Oh **** this blog is over now.

http://ultranihil.blogspot.com/index.html

**** it was so awesome. :mad:

[AA-12]

gg@having your band on there :p

[Kage]

Looks like there was a whole bunch of **** on there.

[Nostalgia]

I'll put your album(s) on my blog if you want, Lee, even though it's more dedicated to black and folk/viking.

[pate]

There was a whole bunch of awesomeness on there, especially the early posts.

Josh: Damn right :p

Austin: Kickass, but the reason I'm pissed isn't because my band was on there, it's because I got so much **** off of there and was counting on him putting up more.

[Nepenthe]

I love Suma, but you'd never be able to guess from my avatar.

[AA-12]

Suma is okay.

[Kage]

Anyone have any Knuse for chrissake

[Txus]

My friend might have some Kage, I will ask him later today and if he has something I'll send it your way.

[Kage]

Awesome, thanks.

[Phototropic]

I posted this stuff in the audio arena, its my bands new demo in the first form (we will record it properly once we have the dosh)

cheers man, looking forward to hearing what other people think of it!

[ATM]

From what I've listened to so far, it sounds great. I'd be interested in hearing more from you all.

[Iron Bars]

I've listened to the first song and it sounds very good. I'll listen to the rest tomorrow.

[Shattered_Future]

First one is good, aside from the one middle part that drags on too long. I can seriously hear the Isis in here...well done. :thumb:

[Bazarov]

NP: Wormphlegm - In An Excruciating Way Infested With Vermin And Violated By Executioners Who Practise Incendiarism And Desanctifying The Pious

I'm starting to gain a better appreciation for Funeral Doom

[NemesisDivina]

Funeral Doom? AHAB!!!!

[Phototropic]

First one is good, aside from the one middle part that drags on too long. I can seriously hear the Isis in here...well done. :thumb:

ahh thanks alot!! yeah we did actually cut the middle bit in half after we recorded it, cheers for listening

[Special Brew]

Graves at Sea, Elder, N.I.L., Asunder, Loss, Ken of the Crow, Amen Ra

Some bands I'm into, but I'm not a big metal fan or anything.

[samariah]

Ok, i dont know a whole lot about stoner/doom metal. Early Black Sabbath is considered doom metal right?

[MattyBlade]

nah

[Bazarov]

They certainly have some doom metal type songs, but they're not entirely doom metal. Just many of their songs went on to provide influence for the genre.

[samariah]

oh ok, thats what i was thinking.

[pixiesfanyo]

asbestos death

[TojesDolan]

That's a cool band.

[pixiesfanyo]

not as cool as esteban

[TojesDolan]

emilio esteban?

[metal-militia]

asbestos death

That's the band before Sleep isn't it? I've been meaning to check them out. What are they like?

[TojesDolan]

They are doom and stone.

[metal-militia]

I will look into them then. Thank you.

[TojesDolan]

No, thank you!

[samariah]

How is Sleep? I'm looking for some tunes to checkz out.

[metal-militia]

How is Sleep? I'm looking for some tunes to checkz out.

Sleep are amazing, I love them. Holy Mountain is their best, with Dopesmoker second. In fact, Dopesmoker is worth buying just to hear Sonic Titan.

[Nepenthe]

Om is better.

[metal-militia]

Om is better.

Each to his own but personally I'd rather listen to Sleep any day. Om are still ok though. On The Mountain At Dawn is an excellent song.

[samariah]

Anyone ever listen to Acid King?

[MattyBlade]

Sleep are amazing, I love them. Holy Mountain is their best, with Dopesmoker second. In fact, Dopesmoker is worth buying just to hear Sonic Titan.

holy mountain is awesome sleep is a great band.

[samariah]

cool, im downloading dopesmoker.

[Skyler]

What do you guys think of The Sword? I'm downloading their album right now. All I've heard so far is the song in Guitar Hero.

[RetiredAt21]

This thread is boring as ****. I'm sick of seeing everyone talk about the same bands all the time.

[TojesDolan]

The genre is kind of void and empty.

[RetiredAt21]

The genre is kind of void and empty.

How?

[TojesDolan]

I DON'T KNOW MAN, IF YOU WANT COOL CONVERSATION AT LEAST YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT BANDS THAT AREN'T BLACK SABBATH AND THE MELVINS AND SHARE IT WITH PEOPLE SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE A NICE TALK ABOUT IT

[samariah]

lol

[Nostalgia]

Tojes wins.

[RetiredAt21]

Anyone like Grief? I do.

[the2stranger]

I like me some Blood Of The Black Owl lately.
Nice one man doom/black band.

Nice and filthy. :cool:

[TojesDolan]

http://ultranihil.blogspot.com/search/label/Black%2FDoom

Go crazy.

Anyway, I'm looking for grief and blood of the black owl.

[samariah]

I wish i knew languages other than english.

[the2stranger]

That's such a great site, I discovered a lot of bands through that site.
The BOTBO is on the site btw. :p

[Phototropic]

Anyone ever listen to Acid King?

saw them in my hometown, great band although live they drag on and on, they're so heavy and sludgy, and her voice fits perfectly

excellent stuff, bad vision is rocking :smoke:

[pixiesfanyo]

anyone like Moss

cos' they suck

[TojesDolan]

I wish i knew languages other than english.
If you need anything particularly to be translated you can ask for help here.

Yeah Petey, it's a great site, the problem is most of the links are rapidshare and it tends to fag up constantly on me. :-(

[samariah]

Thanks.

Talking about Acid King, Blaze In is a sweet song.

[RetiredAt21]

anyone like Moss

cos' they suck

I like them. :)

[TojesDolan]

Pantheist is mildly interesting.

[AA-12]

Moss is very good.

[metal-militia]

Acid King were good when I saw them. It was a shame only about 15 people turned up!

[samariah]

only 15? man

[RetiredAt21]

Moss is very good.

I think so, too. Jared always makes fun of me for liking them, though.

[AA-12]

I've got:

Sleep - Holy Mountain
Weedeater - Sixteen Tons

Coming in the mail soon

[Jondur]

Well it turns out that Orodruin are alive once more, signed to The Miskatonic Foundation and about to record a 10". If you don't know Orodruin then you need to check out "Epicurian Mass" NOW!

[AA-12]

Yeah, Orodruin - Epicurian Mass is amazing stuff. Can't wait for that release.

[the2stranger]

Yeah Petey, it's a great site, the problem is most of the links are rapidshare and it tends to fag up constantly on me. :-(

The un network in Norway loved rapidshare, I don't know about my home connection though, we'll see. :)

Pantheist is mildly interesting.
I like them quite a lot, the deep clean vocals are pure secks.

I've got:

Sleep - Holy Mountain
Weedeater - Sixteen Tons

Coming in the mail soon
Hell yeah. \m/
Although I haven't heard that Weedeater release, the one I have is ace though.

Well it turns out that Orodruin are alive once more, signed to The Miskatonic Foundation and about to record a 10". If you don't know Orodruin then you need to check out "Epicurian Mass" NOW!


Good news. :D
I still remember them vagueley, good band, should check some more stuff by them.

[AA-12]

I'm turning into a huge fan of that type of stoner metal :x

[the2stranger]

I love his voice, Stoner is great. :D
Especially during warm summerdays.
:chug:

[RetiredAt21]

I can't get into clean vocals.

[repcak]

i couldn't get into clean vocals as well for years... now i even prefer them over growls. not always, but it depends on my mood.

[RetiredAt21]

I can't see myself ever preferring clean vocals over growls and such.

[repcak]

i know what you mean... i thought the same way some 2-3yrs ago :p

[metal-militia]

Well it turns out that Orodruin are alive once more, signed to The Miskatonic Foundation and about to record a 10". If you don't know Orodruin then you need to check out "Epicurian Mass" NOW!

Fantastic news!

[Nepenthe]

Clean vocals are cool.

[TojesDolan]

I can't get into clean vocals.
This is wrong dude, you need to get your ears checked. :(

Anyway, I like dynamic voice changes.

[RetiredAt21]

I like the guitar and everything in Sleep, just not the vocals. Clean vocals ruin certain bands for me.

[Nepenthe]

Open your mind and heart.

[Kage]

There's a wondrous world awaiting you.

[RetiredAt21]

I like clean vocals in emo and stuff, just not in my metal.

[Nepenthe]

We will await you in our lush musical paradise. May you one day find your way there to join us where strawberries are so abundant that we only take one bite and then throw them onto the ground and where the women have sex with us while we sleep on a hammock.

[RetiredAt21]

I'll smoke a blunt and listen to Sleep until I like clean vocals.

[Nepenthe]

That's one way of finding this utopia.

[Shattered_Future]

Sleep's vocals aren't ENTIRELY clean though. There's more shouting than anything, really...

[pixiesfanyo]

Rosetta's Galilean Satellites is so good synced up.

[Kage]

Yeah it is. Totally immense.

On a similar note, so is Boris' Dronevil.

[Nepenthe]

I didn't even really like Galilean Satellites until I heard both parts at the same time.

[ATM]

I didn't know such a thing even existed. How does it work?

[pixiesfanyo]

I didn't know such a thing even existed. How does it work?

Play two discs at once.

[Kage]

Om's Conference of the Birds is some of the coolest music ever.

[Poofy 666]

Thats a good album to listen to at about this time.

[Phototropic]

i cant find Om anywhere to buy, and i tried downloading it but bittorrent hates me :(

absoloutely GUTTED as what i heard from live footage on youtube sounds right up my alley

[Patrick O)))]

I got it through customer orders at HMV

My orders list is a mile long, whenever I have a free minute I look something up and tack it on there :)

It's ace, Conference... It's not even that extortionate a price as you'd expect a vaguely specialist album to be from a high street shop.

[AlienEater]

Om are good

[Kage]

More than good. Om is ****ing amazing.

[NemesisDivina]

Om is great. I just d/led Conference of the Birds. It's f*cking great.

Here's a link for it if anyone wants. http://www.sendspace.com/file/7tp0tu

[ATM]

Awesome, thanks.

Any fans of Sloth? I checked them out from that blog that Pate posted and I'm really liking them.

[TojesDolan]

I was going to download the other day but I ran out of hard drive space

lol

[Angmar]

I'm so downloading that album :)

[ATM]

I just did :-D

I really like the Om that I've heard.

[NemesisDivina]

I like how their songs are pretty long, but there are only 2 songs on the CD. It makes for a very good listen.

i'll give that a try, they were good when I ordered The Ruin Of Nova Roma by Taint, they just messaged the record company and the company sent it direct to me in a few days

:chug:

[NemesisDivina]

It's very meditative. Especially the second song. good stuff

[Shattered_Future]

I completely apologize for not liking Ahab at all. Listening to it again, it's by far some of the best funeral doom ever.

Pretty good ta, my band's recording at the moment, going to see Zoe next week ^-^

Got our first out-of-Huddersfield gig in August :cool: we're playing Leeds Rios on the 14th of August, if anyone's local or interested... ? >_>

We're Lamb Of God/BLS/Exodus(ish)/Pantera-ey. At least our best stuff is

[pate]

it's by far some of the best funeral doom ever.

Agreed.

[Kage]

Nope, Esoteric.

[pate]

I prefer Thergothon and Worship to Ahab, but those are my top 3.

[ATM]

I still haven't heard Ahab yet.

[NemesisDivina]

I still haven't heard Ahab yet.

You have two options:

1. Kill yourself

2. Download this and listen to it NOW

[Kage]

haha

[ATM]

/slits throat

[TojesDolan]

Ahab is f‪ucking awesome. Excellent ambient they create, I must confess.

[knuckleduster]

I agree, some of the best doom out there.

oh nothing, sup wit you?

[NemesisDivina]

I hope you downloaded that.

[metal-militia]

Candlemass are playing London in September with Centurion's Ghost as support! I should hope to be going to that. :chug:

[Jondur]

I should be at the Leeds date. CG have been getting better and better. I was never a huge fan but lately they seem to have 'clicked' with me.

[metal-militia]

Yeah same with me. I hadn't heard much of them when I saw them open for Reverend Bizarre, and I didn't think they were as great as people made out, but I've grown to them more recently.
Jondur, are you going to the Doom Metal Inquisition in October in London?

[Jondur]

What? to see the reformed Pagan Altar, Warning, Against Nature, The River, Lamp of Thoth etc?

To quote our American friends "Well Durrrrr"

Course I am! That one is NOT to be missed!

[metal-militia]

Good man. Is there anyway to get tickets in advance or do you just turn up?

[Jondur]

You will be able to book tickets in advance but depressing as it sounds I doubt it will sell out.

[pate]

What? to see the reformed Pagan Altar, Warning, Against Nature, The River, Lamp of Thoth etc?

That would be such a great show.

[NemesisDivina]

any of you guys heard Catacombs?

[Shattered_Future]

I <3 The River.

[Poofy 666]

Drawing Down the Sun is good. I like listening to it in the car.

[NemesisDivina]

hehehehe... I just found out that Dead was in Candlemass's Bewitched video and now I feel retarded for not knowing before.

[Nostalgia]

NP: Candlemass - Bewitched

Haven't listened to this is in a while.

I'll download it off the DU... the songs I listened to on myspace were pretty good but they lacked a certain punch and energy to the songs.

[Kage]

OM is basically the best band ever.

[Angmar]

Om owns.

[knuckleduster]

Indeed. Al's got some skillz.

[TojesDolan]

Electric Wizard is cool. Supercoven is nice.

[Kage]

Electric Wizard rules.

But not as much as OM.

Or Sleep, for that matter.

[NemesisDivina]

Om is great and I'm going to listen to Electric Wizard (Dopethrone) soon. I have it burned on a CD but I haven't found time to listen to it yet.

[Kage]

Go read my review of it. =D

[NemesisDivina]

Dopethrone?

[pate]

I don't really dig Om that much.

[Kage]

Dopethrone?

Yes indeedy.

I don't really dig Om that much.

Blasphemy.

[NemesisDivina]

Nice review, Kage. A bit on the short side though. Got my vote.

I'd rep you but it says I have to spread some around.

RING FOR MY DAMNATION
I AM AT THE GALLOWS END

**** yeah. Been listening to Nightfall all day.

[pate]

Messiah sucks ***, despite the ownage musics on Nightfall, AD, and ToC.

Johan slays him. And they're both slayed by Rob Lowe.

[Nostalgia]

Messiah ****ing slays on Nightfall, no doubt. Also, the video for Bewitched is insanely awesome.

[pate]

He's at his best on Nightfall, I will admit.

[Nostalgia]

I don't even think Johan on EDM is anything special, besides Solitude.

Yeah Lee whatchu gonna do.

[pate]

I'm gonna laugh at you.


:lol:


See?

[Nostalgia]

Your love of Johan aside, we all know Nightfall is superior to EDM.

[pate]

Ignoring vocals, I agree.

[Nostalgia]

Music-wise, I'm fond of both albums, but it's definitely Messiah's vocals that make the clear distinction for my love of it.

At the Gallows End almost makes the album for me.

[pate]

Yeah, that's a great song. WoR were going to cover it on the new album, but decided against it. :p

[NemesisDivina]

Messiah ****ing slays on Nightfall, no doubt. Also, the video for Bewitched is insanely awesome.

Dead is in that video.

Well of Souls is a killer song. It's been stuck in my head all day.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, he's a dead walking.

[NemesisDivina]

He's f*cking bewitched.

[metal-militia]

What does everyone think of the new Candlemass? I think it's pretty good, and better than the self titled.

[Dargon II]

I don't know anything after Nightfall.

What do you think of Mercy (SWE), metal-militia? It was Messiah's band before Candlemass, I recommend you get Witchburner if you haven't already.

[Txus]

It's definitely better, the S/T is pretty good but the new one has much better songs all around.

And EDM >>>> Nightfall

What do you guys think of Ancient Dreams?

[metal-militia]

I don't know anything after Nightfall.

What do you think of Mercy (SWE), metal-militia? It was Messiah's band before Candlemass, I recommend you get Witchburner if you haven't already.

I haven't heard them but I will check them out.

I like Ancient Dreams, but no where near as much as the first two.

[pate]

What do you think of Mercy (SWE), metal-militia? It was Messiah's band before Candlemass, I recommend you get Witchburner if you haven't already.

I don't think Mercy is anything special but, again, I'm not a huge fan of Messiah.

Mike: Ancient Dreams is great. Same for Tales of Creation.

[Nostalgia]

Anyone else really love Reverend Bizarre? Never really hear them talked about in here.

[Kage]

I've often talked about Reverend Bizarre, and yes they are awesome.

[Eliminator]

reverend boring

tbh

[pate]

They're excellent.

[NemesisDivina]

Anyone like 1000 Funerals? I downloaded Portrait of a Dream and it's really good stuff so far.

[Txus]

Reverend Bizarre are great, the new album is too ****ing long though :-\

[pate]

the new album is too ****ing long though :-\

A big 123 to that.

[Kage]

I haven't heard the new album.

[pate]

There are like 8 tracks, and 6 of them are 30 minutes or more.

And the majority of each track is the same riff repeated.

[NemesisDivina]

I haven't heard the new album.

that Godspeed You! link you posted didn't work.

[Txus]

Burn In Hell! has to be one of the best Doom songs ever.

[pate]

Damn right.

[Kage]

that Godspeed You! link you posted didn't work.

Worked for me, what happened when you clicked thereon?

[NemesisDivina]

Worked for me, what happened when you clicked thereon?

See daily upload thread.

[Dargon]

Anyone else really love Reverend Bizarre? Never really hear them talked about in here.
yeah in the rectory = 666

[Shattered_Future]

In The Rectory is definately one of my favorite doom albums.

[pate]

It's definitely up there.

[Nostalgia]

When we all known Nightfall is probably there as well, with EDM BELOW IT!

[TojesDolan]

yeah in the rectory = 666
I must agree with you there. In the rectory of the Bizarre Reverend has some very nice moments.

[NemesisDivina]

Yeah. I'm gonna have to say that Nightfall seriously pwns Epicus... except for Solitude

[Kage]

Anyone like 1000 Funerals? I downloaded Portrait of a Dream and it's really good stuff so far.

Yes dude, this album rules. I stumbled upon it randomly on Metal archives and never looked back. Great, depressing atmosphere and a really unique sound. I love it. So dark and brooding.

[NemesisDivina]

A fantastic album indeed. When I first heard the name 1000 Funerals I thought it would be gay, but I listened to the music and it was phenomenal.

[pate]

:O Kage browses Metal Archives?!

[Kage]

nemesisdivina and I had a bit of an identity switch there, actually. He found them and macked 'em out to me and I liked them.

yes I reckon that is more accurate.

This one:

lmao, are you sure that's 1000 Funerals? They're not Satanic or anything. He looks completely gay.

[the2stranger]

Yeah, it's the dude from 1000 Funerals and he looks absolutely ridicilous. :lol:

You can search for yourself on google and you'll see, it's him.

I love the inverted cross, he probably ripped that off the wall from his parents house. :lol:
(or not since he's from Iran :-\ )

[NemesisDivina]

it's the guy named Avinar... he has some other black metal projects that look pretty f*ckin gay

[Kage]

That's absolutely ridiculous. I never expected them to look like that, especially given that they're from Iran.

Pagan Altar - Volume 1
Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Doomsword - s/t
Bedemon - Child of Darkness
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Solstice - A New Dark Age
Trouble - Psalm 9
Pentagram - Pentagram

probably something like that
leaving out St. Vitus was hard

[Txus]

Bedemon is the only band I haven't heard in there. Great list btw.

NP: Warning - The Strength to Dream \m/

[Mother]

I love the inverted cross, he probably ripped that off the wall from his parents house. :lol:
(or not since he's from Iran :-\ )




lol i wonder what oppression christianity put on him

[pate]

Great great list but it needs Solitude Aeturnus.

[Dargon]

Great great list but it needs Solitude Aeturnus.
not top 10 material imo, but I need to re-listen to the two albums I have.

[pate]

Which two do you have?

Solitude are probably my favorite band period. Into the Depths of Sorrow, Beyond the Crimson Horizon, and Through the Darkest Hour are three of my absolute favorite albums.

And they are damn good live, and damn awesome to talk to.

[Dargon]

yeah the first two. They didn't catch my attention as much as Solstice for example, but I'll give them some more listens.

[bassaholica2004]

I know this is really late into my metal career, but I finally got Nightfall. I can't believe I've been missing this stuff for so long! How does Solitude Aeturnus compare to Candlemass? I want to hear some, but money is tight. :(

Also, I wish I could find Psalm 9. I want it so bad!

[Silenius]

I haven't seen you around forever man. :)

[Jondur]

now this is real doom

Candlemass - Nightfall
Solstice - Lamentations
Pagan Altar - Volume 1
Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend
Doomsword - s/t
Bedemon - Child of Darkness
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Solstice - A New Dark Age
Trouble - Psalm 9
Pentagram - Pentagram

probably something like that

Good list. There's a few alternatives I'd have put in but all in all good work.

And here's a few more for those who like the real stuff:

Penance - all albums are essential. My favourite is SpiritualNatural
Iron Man
Bloodfarmers
Warning
Orodruin
The Gates of Slumber
Las Cruces
Well of Souls (US)
Mirror of Deception
Revelation
Ritual
Place of Skulls
Rising Dust

There are so many great, great doom bands. Easily the most consistently great genre.

[Dargon]

I've got a few of those Jondur. The Gates of Slumber are great. I'll look at the others but I'm not a HUGE doom fan so I'll probably just stick with what I got.

[pate]

There are so many great, great doom bands. Easily the most consistently great genre.

And this is why I love it so much.

[bassaholica2004]

I haven't seen you around forever man. :)

Lol yeah I've been trying to get into new music lately. I think I've grown out of death/black metal, so now my new obsession is doom.

I got two new cd's today, Cathedral- The Carnival Bizarre, and Black Sabbath's Vol. 4. The Cathedral album is really good, I like it a lot. BS is my favorite band, and this was my last cd to complete my collection. :smoke:

How would you guys rate St. Vitus? Are they closer to a Candlemass or Sabbath type of doom? They look interesting, but they didn't have any of their cd's at the store. :angry:

[Shattered_Future]

St. Vitus always gave me more of a Sabbath vibe. They're some of the most traditional of traditional doom metal.

[pate]

The Carnival Bizarre is an excellent album.

And Vitus is essential listening.

[TojesDolan]

Great great list but it needs Solitude Aeturnus.
Corrupted nigra plz

[NemesisDivina]

Hey man, would you please upload Pentagram- Be Forewarned? I know you have it cause I read your sound off on it. I want that album so bad and I can't find any active links for it or anything.

[TojesDolan]

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

gg I'll listen to this now

[Jondur]

Buy it.

[rippa32]

I bought the new Candlemass album today, despite having none of the others and I am very impressed. Some great songs on it. Just a question though, is it a concept album?

[Dargon]

And this is why I love it so much.
I love it because it conveys an epic atmosphere far better than any other genre.

Speaking of epic, I need to hunt down the latest 3 Doomswords.

NP: Doomsword - Helms Deep

[Phototropic]

just ordered Hex: printing in the infernal method by Earth, love the 2 tracks i've heard off it so far, can't wait for it!

also just bought Neurosis - given to the rising and Sunn0))) - white 2 this morning :) will settle down and absorb them later

anyone dig ?

[AlienEater]

The Neurosis album is good but they break no new ground whatsoever.

[Phototropic]

The Neurosis album is good but they break no new ground whatsoever.

I agree

its good stuff, more straightforward i find than usual, alright though!

[Txus]

Speaking of epic, I need to hunt down the latest 3 Doomswords.
Let Battle Commence is sooo ****ing good, get that now!

[bassaholica2004]

Candlemass' From the 13th Sun has been playing continually for the past few days now... I'm sure you've all checked it out, but if not, its some of the best stoner/groovy-type Doom I've ever heard and I highly recommend it. Its very very Sabbathy. Its not as epic as their other stuff, but incredibly heavy.

I just kinda felt like expressing my love for this album. :smoke:

[pate]

Check your rep, Jondur.

I like From the 13th Sun, but a lot of people don't.

[bassaholica2004]

I like From the 13th Sun, but a lot of people don't.

Por que? Not traditional enough, or different vocals, I assume?

[pate]

Probably because it's not Messiah on vocals.

[rippa32]

Well neither was the first album and everyone seems to enjoy that.
