i personally really like the cover. Blood meat is great so far, and i am really hoping the rest of the album is a step higher though

dont know what you expect because that's already a huge step up vocally, melodically, instrumentally and lyrically.

remember it's album oriented. everything will sound better as a whole. bloodmeat is just 1/3, sequoia throne is 1/4

I actually don't have Bloodmeat

i see. i tend to expect a lot sometimes

And you guys were complaining about me bumping the thread...

Shut up and get over it. Everybody here looks for an excuse to bitch at non-elite posters. Live with it.

O I'm over it. I guess you couldn't tell... I wasn't complaining. It was more of a satisfied, glad i could help kind of comment.

But anyways... I don't know about you guys, but Fortress has got to be one of the most anticipated albums of 2008 for me.

The music video is alright.

The song ****ing rules though... it's already my most played PTH song, tbh.

video rules man, it's just a little short of blindfolds. doesn't show timba enough and the light flares are a little thilly.

I just read DFelon's rampant faggotry a page or so into the thread. :lol: This dude must have a burning mace stuck up his *** or something.

He just can't get over the fact that people like a band he doesn't. He has a point when he said they take from power, thrash and progressive metal as well as post-hardcore and metalcore but he tries to discredit the lyrics for no apparent reason and makes lame uninspired comparisons to bands like CTTS and Hot Cross (then again that's all he ever does).

God damn, I need this album to come out.

Tyler, I was sort of upset that they didn't show Arif doing the Klingon sign in the video. :upset:

*Vulcan salute.

Im not surprised, but still let down. I've been watching a lot of Star Trek lately :( Still, the end is really cool. The scene on the chair was kind of gaysauce though.

Yeah, I started loling when he kicked up the footrest and laid back. I was all wtf?

EDIT: On my RIP Chuck list on the reviews site, I meant that Leprosy was Death's second best album overall and their best in the early era.

I'm pretty sure we all do. Only 45 more days.

I thought it was 48.

No. 16 more for this month. Then 29 more for January. 29+16=45

i was taking a wild guess tbh.

Are their two EPs worth getting? I just downloaded Kezia a couple weeks ago and I've really been digging it, but I've heard their older stuff isn't as good.

But yea, cool band. Not the type of stuff I normally listen to, but it sort of grew on me. Quickly.

Well now you know. Start your countdown!

And for Sponer, I've only heard A Calculated Use Of Sound, but it doesn't seem much like Kezia. But I would still say get it.

Not really, no. I Am Dmitri Karamazov and the World is my Father is the best thing they've ever written at it's core but it's hindered by their pubescent immaturity and rody's voice.

But yeah no.

It's really cool to hear the basic progression but they're very evident of the group's youth.

Basically, I map their progress like this:

5th Commandment > Take and Take > Is Anybody There? > Silent Genocide > Asperity of Sin > ACUOS EP > Soft Targets (added to the EP a year later for the re-release, hence why it sounds out of place - it was rush-recorded for a sampler) > Kezia > Fortress blablabla.

The most drastic changes were from the Is Anybody There/Silent Genocide-era hardcore punk songs (Search for the Truth 7") to Asperity of Sin, and then from the EP to Kezia (excluding Soft Targets, which is a great song, but obvious in it's rushed, forced "just because we had to" nature).

It's still interesting to hear what they were with the EPs and what they have become with Kezia and soon to be Fortress.

That's exactly what I just finished saying, Jesus, reading isn't hard.

The point is that unless you were around when the EP, 7" and compilations dropped, they'll probably be meaningless to you. They're very immature, albeit still enjoyable, but in the end the people still appreciating it are the ones who got to see these songs develop, all before Kezia was solidified. There was nothing quite as exciting as seeing a group of kids evolve like that, and if you missed out on the initial evolution, hindsight is not quite as favourable. That's alls I'm saying.

Ok. Well you responded to the guy with a no, so I was saying it's still worth checking out. But whatever.

I merely put it in context.

lol, pth

oh look at you mike all lol up in this bitch.


wiiiiiiiith swords to wet with the blood of their deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad *bass shred*


I hope Arif sings more, I like his backups on Bloodmeat. I know he can carry a tune, so hopefully there's more of that on the album. I already know he growls alongside Tim and Rody but yeah.

Rody looks like Justin Timberlake sooo ****ing much.

And yes, Arif singing is quite good....so is his tapping. ****ing bastard :mad:

I dont really know what the deal was with Rody's dancing and haircut in the video but he's always been, er, flamboyant. Regardless, anything beats the days of his MEAT IS MURDER ripped jeans and long black hair, that was super lol.

heeeeeeeeeeellbent on heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevan
