Please have Aidan's babies for me, since I can't have them (yet).
Enjoy!
I'm so looking forward to seeing the in april.

I emailed Aidan to see if he could bring some merchandise to the festival, he answered me within a few hours.
Very nice guy. :)

[ATM]

The venue is so tiny, I am so excited. They just got a new sound system so I can imagine the immense sound they will make :)

[guitrguy]

You'll have the **** rattled out of you, literally.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, drone-type bands are a bitch to see live. I saw some local stoner / drone band and it felt like my ears were leaking out a fluid because my whole body was rattling senseless

[ATM]

I look forward to it.

[Kage]

I'd wear earplugs.

[ATM]

Yeah, I have some yet I've never worn them to a show.

[Kage]

Lately I've been getting a little paranoid of tinnitus and ****. I really don't want to put up with constant ringing in my ears when I'm older.

[ATM]

Yeah my sister has it and it really sucks for her. She went to school to be an engineer but her ears are really too ****ed to do it now.

Reverend Bizarre rule, I just dl'ed the spil with Minotauri and they amazed me again with their groove and epic songwriting.

NP: Pentagram - Life Blood

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I have mild tinnitus, it sucks. It doesn't annoy me all the time, but when I go to bed at night I can hear it pretty clearly. I don't lose heaps of sleep or anything but I definitely prefer to have a fan going or some quiet music to take my focus off the ringing.

[Nostalgia]

Daft Punk'll do that to you.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

lol

[Neoteric]

i've nearly finished My Dying Bride's The Dreadful Hours

gonna put on The Angel and the Dark River soon

**** yeah

[Iron Bars]

I haven't heard The Dreadfull Hours but The Angel and the Dark River is an absolute doom classic (and the only My Dying Bride album I own).

NP: The Red Sparrows - A Message of Avarice........

[Eliminator]

lol my dying bride

[Nostalgia]

Trinity is bad, Like Gods of the Sun is bad, As the Flowers wither is bad, Turn Loose the Swans is good.

[pate]

Like Gods of the Sun is great.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, you would say that.

[Iron Bars]

I like A Line Of Deathless Kingss too btw. I saw My Dying Bride a coulpe of years ago on Grasspop and walked away after hearing about half a song (5 minutes) because I thought it was boring. Since then I have embraced Doom metal and am still ashamed thinking back on that.

[pate]

I love A Line of Deathless Kings as well.

[Shattered_Future]

It's not bad (better than Songs Of Darkness, at least), but it's not great either.

I absolutely love The Dreadful Hours.

[Eliminator]

The Dreadful Hours' title accurately sums up a My Dying Bride listening experience

[Shattered_Future]

Is it because they don't have cracker harpist vocals?

[Luc214]

I like most of My Dying Bride's work tbh.

[pate]

I could do without The Dreadful Hours more than I could do without ALODK or LGOTS

I finally heard your band. I didn't expect to like it (in case you didn't know my tastes run to old school doom, old school death, old school black, old school grind, old school thrash etc The key phrase being OLD SCHOOL) but I did.

I won't lie - you're not quite there yet but there's some great bits in there - The chorus for Temples for example. I'll have to check you out next time you gig.

BTW did you see my post about honey for christ playing in swansea next Friday? trust me I've seen hundreds of bands and HFC are one of the best live.

Is Snailking the best Ufomammut album to check out?

I got Turn Loose the Swans and loved it, most everything was awesome, ace harsh vocals.

I'll probably get their 2nd album eventually, but not for awhile.

Does anybody have a link to the new Draconian album without the stupid voice over guy on it? I'm rockin it in the car and I hear some European sounding guy all of a sudden say "You're listening to the new Draconian album 'Turning Season Within'". I'm like Goddammit!

[jrowa001]

ok so i have been addicted to The Hidden Hand today. awesome band. so far i have only noticed that Txus and Pate (i think) are into this band

[Nostalgia]

My Dying Bride would be a lot better if they'd eliminate their harsh vocals and growls, which is what they use most, rendering almost every album really terrible. Songs like The Snow in My hand are excellent though.

[pate]

Bullshit Austin. LGotS and ALODK are 99.9% cleans.

Yes, they were great. @jrowa

[Nostalgia]

I only gave Like Gods of the Sun a short listen because I was bored senseless, but I think Trinity is all harsh and same with As the Flowers wither. If LGotS is 99.9% clean then they must just be terrible vocals because I'm a sucker for anything clean.

[pate]

The vocals on those two albums are great.

[Nostalgia]

Jondur, did you play on Transfiguration?

Wtf? we have never ever talked about Asunder n00b.

Yea we have, it was like two years ago N00B. I mentioned that I found this band and their album had one 20+ minute song and another 50+. Then I mentioned that I didn't like it. Then we laughed and skipped into the fog.

Alright.
So I was browsing my music collection and I just popped in Lamented Souls - The Origins Of Misery.

Great doom metal, with Simen Hestnæs on vocals.
Lovely doom, powerful, fat production, nice vocals, nice bluesy references.
:cool:

Any fans?

[pate]

Yes, that's a good album.

[the2stranger]

I love the first seven tracks of the album.
The other stuff is in demo quality, so I'm not really a big fan of that.
But the first part is great. :D

[Nostalgia]

Yes. First record where I was heavily involved in the songwriting so don't diss it or I'll duff you up.

Haha. Nah dude, it was pretty good. Great vocals.

[Dargon]

Why does Lowe sound so much better on the new Candlemass than on Solitude albums?

Also, what's with this Warning band. Austin is clearly an emokike mallfoggot for whoring them so much.

[Txus]

Warning is for fags who have love problems clearly.

And Lowe kicks *** in the new Candlemass tbqh, but still, he is great with Solitude.

[Dargon]

Lowe gets so tiring on the Solitude debut. That same shrieky tone throughout the entire album really gets on my nerves. Listening to isolated songs is great but I can hardly last through the whole thing.

[Cocaine]

I preferred Lowe with Candlemass but I still don't particularly like his vocals. The only song I've really enjoyed them on was Solitude's cover of Heaven & Hell.

[Txus]

Lowe gets so tiring on the Solitude debut. That same shrieky tone throughout the entire album really gets on my nerves. Listening to isolated songs is great but I can hardly last through the whole thing.

Idk if you have heard Through The Darkest Hour, that's my favorite Lowe's vox display. Pretty ****ing awesome.

He's ace on everything he's ever done. Best singer ever.


I like him more with SA than on the new Candlemass though.

I like him on Through the Darkest Hour the most. It's a mix of the two eras.

[guitrguy]

Did Messiah move onto a new band, or is he just floating around somewhere in Sweden?

[pate]

He did some live dates with Therion in France and maybe some other countries.

[guitrguy]

He should start a new band called Messiah and the Saviors.

[pate]

Or he should join Wrath of Ragnarok OSHI

Warning is excellent, although I've been cutting my plays down for them. Been more interested in While Heaven Wept, rediscovering my love for Candlemass, and a few other epic doom bands. Glad you liked the Doomshine, too, by the way.

Anyone read the lyrics to "Where Nothing Hurts but Solitude?" I did the other day and the song is totally about flying. Like actual bird flight. Judging by the song title at first, I thought it was just about depression amongst other things.

[Jondur]

Haha. Nah dude, it was pretty good. Great vocals.

I prefer A Walk Through Oceans. Have you heard that one? Having said that "The Gallery" was probably the best song we did together. Can't believe we recorded it nine years ago. It was also the last song I played with them (it was always the set closer) in Bradford 23rd March 2003 - I was so gutted to leave the band (they'd been a major part of my life for 8 years) that I was fighting back the tears by the end of it.

Sorry about that - bit of nostalgia for you nostalgia.

I actually haven’t heard it, but I’ll get it now. I do really like Transfiguartion, even though it’s only three songs, hehe.

[rattlehead42147]

I finally listened to Watching from a Distance yesterday so I now understand all the hype behind it. Great vocals.

[Jondur]

I'm glad. No doubt they're due the traditional MX backlash by now but f*** it they're a great band and have been for 10 odd years. I guess it's good that so many people are getting into the band, it's just a shame that very few of you are buying it. After all if you bought it then you'd get records from bands like Argus, The River, The Lamp of Thoth a lot quicker because the label would have more money to cover studio fees etc.

Yeah I know it's the typical Jondur rant about downloading, but the band and the label boss are friends of mine. And also I think that record is an all time classic and I don't understand why you wouldn't want to own it.

[Iron Bars]

I own Watching from a Distance, but your absolutly right that I download more than I buy. The problem with the more underground bands is that it's harder to get the albums than with more known bands like Candlemass (even those I have to order though) and if I haven't heard it before it's a bigger risk of spending money on an album I'll never listen to.

[Eliminator]

yeah, with all those copies of Watching From a Distance floating around waiting to be bought!

I wish I had the kind of connections you seem to have. I was actually thinking about buying the album soon but i almost never order from smaller labels.

[Jondur]

yeah, with all those copies of Watching From a Distance floating around waiting to be bought!

It will be reissued by CYCLONE EMPIRE very soon. As will The Strength To Dream. CE have good distribution ( I bought my copies of the Solstice reissues from HMV) so you shouldn't have any problems. Watching From A Distance will also be released on vinyl by METAL SUPREMACY.

All these labels are 100% legit, if you get ripped off I will send you my Die-hard copy.

I wish I had the kind of connections you seem to have. I was actually thinking about buying the album soon but i almost never order from smaller labels.

It's easy these days - everyone's got emails, websites and paypal. And you can check stuff out on Myspace so you don't have to spend money on an album you've never heard.

Anyway - I don;t mean to be so down - it's good that you're all appreciating a great band.

[guitrguy]

I really want to start getting some vinyls, so I may have to get the Watching From a Distance vinyl when it comes out.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

But nothing beats the first two albums.
And nothing beats Messiah.

EDIT:
O wait, you're talking about Evoken?
:p
I love the new album.
Fat production, great riffs.
Relentless doom attack!

[pate]

The new Candlemass is great. I'd say it's their 5th best, after the first four. Right after it is Chapter VI.

I think Count Raven would be so much better if it wasn't for those terrible Ozzy vocals. Everything else is top notch stuff.

The vocals are fine. Great band.

[ATM]

Show on Friday was awesome, although I may have gotten a bit too drunk.

The only thing that sucked is that the sound guy quit a day or two prior and took all of his ****, so they weren't able to get the sound right.

Ol' Scratch debuted a new vocalist, yet you couldn't even hear him really. Band still rules, they covered some Spirit Caravan which was cool. Sherman from Earthride, Wretched, and Spirit Caravan was in the front row smoking bowls. He got on stage to sing for like 2 songs.

Revelation came on next, and they look so funny. I never imagined them to look how they do hahah They were good, though.

Then came Hounds of Hasselvander which were ****ing awesome. They played some songs and then had Bobby Liebling from Pentagram get up there and sing some songs.

Badass night.

[pate]

Revelation look like old farts.

[ATM]

The drummer looks like he could be your dad's best friend, the guitar player looks like one of those bedroom guitar player guys, and the bass player looked like Randy Jackson.

[Phototropic]

Prosperina are needing a drummer if anyone in South Wales is interested (South wales in the UK, not Oz)

Get in touch

[Dimmu Burger]

Does anybody have the new Draconian album without the voice overs?

[Txus]

Man, Draconian are horrible :(

[pate]

The drummer looks like he could be your dad's best friend, the guitar player looks like one of those bedroom guitar player guys, and the bass player looked like Randy Jackson.

Haha yeah, and despite all that they still pwn.

[Txus]

Yah, Revelation are sick.

[Jondur]

Personally I think Yet So Far destroys any of the Bremner-era Revelation. I still enjoy Salvations Answer and Never Comes Silence but I just prefer the Cornelius stuff.

[Dimmu Burger]

Man, Draconian are horrible :(

I like them. I like the contrast in the vocals.

[Txus]

Yet So Far is the best, definitely.

[pate]

Agreed.

[Iron Bars]

My brother won tickets to see Weedeater and can't go, so he wanted to give them to me. Too bad I have to play with my own band. :(

[Nostalgia]

The vocals are fine. Great band.

Dude you're so gay. You like some pretty good bands, but for every good band you like two or so shitty ones to go along with it. It's like, you like Candlemass but enjoy bands such as Into Eternity and Opeth. Gay, gay, gay.

[guitrguy]

austin is soooooooo elite lololololololololoolololololol

[rattlehead42147]

I could not stop listening to At Giza from Om this weekend. I think it was Austin that said At Giza was a much better song than Flight of the Eagle, and I agree wholeheartedly now.

Conference of the Birds is the only Om I've heard, but I'm stoked to get more soon. I'm setting my sights on Pilgrimage.

[Nostalgia]

dude no, lee is pissing me off. I talk about about and shi, and he's alll "you're gay, they're great" when they're really not great.

I'm about to flip my lid.

EDIT: Yeah, At Giza is a bitchin' song, and is really the only OM I listen to now. It's a really groovy tune.

[guitrguy]

chill dude, we listen to bad music whether we want to admit it or not.

[Nostalgia]

I think you're taking me a little too serious. :lol:

[guitrguy]

you're just so angsty man, idk when you are serious or not.

[Nostalgia]

99% of the times I complain I'm usually being sarcastic.

[guitrguy]

kkkkkkkkkkkkk

I'll hook you up with the other Om releases

tomorrow night i'll try and upload them

At Giza the best song without a doubt though, the other stuff is trancey but nowhere near as melodic

[rattlehead42147]

I'll hook you up with the other Om releases

tomorrow night i'll try and upload them
awesome, thanks dude!

I showed At Giza to some of my friends when we smoked the other day and they said "this sounds like Godsmack." i had to wtf a little bit at that. I can see where someone who had never heard Om might think that but it's still an unforgiveable comparison. I think that the first four minutes of the song is much more akin to the Doors than anything but after that they only sound like Om.

[Txus]

godsmack? bahahahaha.

Austin: You have changed, bro :(

[guitrguy]

wtf how do you hear godsmack in that? regardless of how bad godsmack sucks, OM and Godsmack are nothing alike.

[the2stranger]

True.
Those two bands shouldn't be named in the same sentence tbqh.

I'm looking forward to the new Nadja album.
:D
I will be buying stuff from Aidan personally probably. :D

[pate]

Dude you're so gay. You like some pretty good bands, but for every good band you like two or so shitty ones to go along with it. It's like, you like Candlemass but enjoy bands such as Into Eternity and Opeth. Gay, gay, gay.

At least I never had a rap or neo-folk phase.

dude no, lee is pissing me off. I talk about about and shi, and he's alll "you're gay, they're great" when they're really not great.

I'm about to flip my lid.

At least I have an argument

[Txus]

Man, Aidan has so many releases....holy ****.

he is the canadian merzbow, seriously.

[Tyr]

Man, Aidan has so many releases....holy ****.

he is the canadian merzbow, seriously.

That might be the quote of the day.

[Eliminator]

he has done a lot not merzbow quantity tho

[Eliminator]

[Txus]

double post ftw

[Eliminator]

im like the musicianforum merzbow, seriously.

[Txus]

you are the musicianforum eliminator, seriously.

[Nostalgia]

Regardless, Count Raven's vocals are too Ozzy-like to be enjoyable. With that said, I have been enjoying a few Slow Horse songs - pity I can't find an album anywhere. :(

[pate]

Never heard of Slow Horse. The reviews look good though.

[Shattered_Future]

Does anybody have the new Draconian album without the voice overs?

The album came out like a month ago. It's definately all over torrent sites and shiz.

They're still not doom, but I like them. New album especially...crushing production.

[guitrguy]

Sexing to At Giza would be awesome, js.

[pate]

I really need to hear this At Giza you ****ers keep jizzing over.

[Nostalgia]

Reading the lyrics along with it is the best part... since I really have no ****ing clue what is going on.

[guitrguy]

I really need to hear this At Giza you ****ers keep jizzing over.

See my OM thread in the other forum and get Conference of the Birds.

[Eliminator]

at giza isnt as good as most of the people here make it out to be

[rattlehead42147]

wtf how do you hear godsmack in that? regardless of how bad godsmack sucks, OM and Godsmack are nothing alike.
well they do both make crushingly heavy tunes. :lol: VOODOO
Sexing to At Giza would be awesome, js.
Damn, I've gotta do that now.

[the2stranger]

Man, Aidan has so many releases....holy ****.

You're rightt hough.
He's the man.

Saturday 05.03.08

Iron Man (original MD doom, Hellhound Records)/Revelation/Pale Divine

\m/

[Nostalgia]

Pale Divine would be cool.

[pate]

Best lineup ever.

I'll be seeing Testament and Suidakra that night.

[ATM]

I talked to a guy who told me Pale Divine get the STRONGEST weed ever.

[Nostalgia]

I think Cimmerian Codex is my favorite Solstice song now, although that whole album is awesome. That song in specific is perfect, though.

Icelocked the nexus, an empire awaits
Axiom abhorent, protean triumvirate

They were doin' in before OM was.

[pate]

My favorite from that album is either that or the first track.

[Nostalgia]

http://static.metal-archives.com/images/1/9/5/4/19542_photo.JPG

It's hard to think the vocalist of Solstice was in that band when they were active.

[Eliminator]

its hard to think the vocalist of solstice could get any gayer

[pate]

Quit being a fag Austin

[Nostalgia]

Haha, what? You like them? I have never listened, but those outfits are pretty unforgivable.

[pate]

I have no idea what the band is, but I really don't give a **** what outfits they wear for a promo pic.

[Jondur]

http://static.metal-archives.com/images/1/9/5/4/19542_photo.JPG

It's hard to think the vocalist of Solstice was in that band when they were active.

That's the new vocalist. He's not sang on anything yet. As far as I know none of the other vocalists have ever worn velvet.

And the best song on New Dark Age is definitely Hammer of Damnation follwed by Cromlech.

[Jondur]

Here's a tip for those of you who enjoy doom in the style of The Obsessed : Iron Hearse.

I got one of their demos a few years ago and it was really good and I did a gig with them when I was in The River which was also great. But then they just dropped off my radar as real life interrupted my quest for doom. In the meantime it seems they've released an album and sound ace. Check them out!

damn, great!
you have to tell how suidakra are live!

Lee shut the **** up already. I'd kill to see Testament. I have a The New Order shirt isn't that good enough!?

[pate]

Yes, since I'm wearing my TNO shirt right now.

[Nostalgia]

You like guys Solomon Kane? I just got The Dread and it's pretty good... pity it's only one song though.

[Txus]

They were pretty rad, yes.

[guitrguy]

Solomon Kane is pretty awesome. I think Jondur said something about them recording new material.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, that's what M-A said too. That's funny they're releasing new material now, since their last album was from like 1983, haha.

[guitrguy]

I wonder if they are going to pull a Pagan Altar, and keep their style pretty much the same.

[Txus]

They probably will, they seem like ELITE people.

[Iron Bars]

The one song they have released is good, though I hope they inproved a bit on production.

[pate]

Yes, The Dread owns.
