definitely a fair conclusion. they don't really sound like a screamo band ever but they have those climaxes that are all screamo-ish

honestly this has more balls than most of the bm that it sounds like. people jump to conclude that they're just another band doing the WITTR thing but they definitely have a different approach. the thing people should remember about this band is that they are just as much a product of the SF hardcore/screamo scene as they are a product of the whole "post-black" thing that's happening now, which i think is important to understanding them.

belligerent and stupid as always are we? i don't need to justify my opinion, last time i checked sputnik is for talking about music. sorry if you were confused about that.

anymore dumb questions? or are you done being an asshole now?

this is a really great review. i don't think the record is as great as you do (it's certainly not bad), but i'm pretty impressed that you can put out a review of this quality for a genre that is mostly alien to you. i dont think there are really any users who could do a better review of this, including all of those who listen to bands like this regularly.

you spent a paragraph explaining their approach and why it puts them above the other mentioned bands

let the music speak for itself there junior

a little context never hurt anyone.

Album Rating: 4.5

I find this to be beautiful. And I loved enslaved. As far as black metal goes, I know im not one to be

a champion of the genre but unless it has the super atmospheric/dense/layered quality to it, i'ts not

for me. Exception: symphony(no dimmu not you try like arcturus/code) and exception clean vocals.



Leviathan(post arrest) is good but still rough for me....

Album Rating: 4.5

the intro few minutes to unrequited make me feel....so many emotions. unbelievable.....close to bumping the rating.

god shut up

I haven't heard this yet but I don't really feel compelled to. Swell review either way.

rasp: it's like i said before, at no point does the band really sound like a screamo or hardcore band but i don't think its ridiculous to say its somewhat telling of their influences that they often play shows with hardcore and screamo bands, and not bm bands. i won't pretend to be an expert or anything, but i'm also not retarded.

sure they might have some screamo influences, but the fact that they play shows with those sorts of bands can easily be explained by the label that put roads to judah out

thanks for the compliment regarding the review berkay, much appreciated coming from you. I had this sitting around a while before posting and I think that helped

Eric, check out the new album by Verwüstung. Never really dug the stuff he did under Airs, but I personally like Beyond the Watercolor Sunset, We Feel New Life better than this album.

Yeah Verwustung rules hard

has the AngelofDeath and Spirit approval? I'll listen.

Album Rating: 4.0

It's much rawer than this but don't let that put you off - it's easily one of the better examples of shoegaze influenced black metal.
