yea Blod-Draum rules

does anyone know if Stormvold is worth getting from them?

yeah definitely, it's a great EP

though obviously bloddraum is the highlight of their career

i hated molested for a while and then one day i listened to them and now i love it. donno what happened but im glad it did.

they just sound so chaotic it just stands out for some reason

reminds me of portal and mitochondrian just before either of them. pretty sweet

yeah, agreed

still hate portal but w/e

how can you hate portal

insert robots farting in space jokes

idk they're really incoherent and the retarded gimmick doesn't help things

^ backed. the music just isn't coherent enough for me to enjoy it. just sounds like white noise. imo

swarth is pretty evil sounding which is why i like it

i can deal with something incoherent if it provokes a certain atmosphere

i can't listen to portal without wanting to laugh hysterically

thats how it is whenever one of my friends think i dont know who they are and the start showing me videos of them

"dude they're so scary"

"he has a clock on his head. lol"

lol at portal being 'incoherent'

but then again, they're no protest the hero that's for sure ;)

they are incoherent, I can't make out anything going on 90% of the time

I mean aussie band has to be good though right :wink:

you not being able to make anything out =/= incoherence

except incoherence in your listening skills maybe

eh im not so sure.

the bass isn't even playing anything in tune or in time with the guitar half the time.
they do however sound a lot better with only one guitarist now as opposed to

So where the fuck is dead congregation?

greece

nice

I hear the weather is lovely over there.

I've never been able to understand the claims that Portal is incoherent, when I listen to it I feel like the structure and harmony of individual sections of tracks usually fairly evident if you pay attention. As songs they definitely just kind of keep mutating but is it really that different structurally from what bands like Ulcerate and the Chasm are doing?

Also people who shit on the production are silly, the unsettling sound is as much (or more) a product of the harmony involved as the production value

those videos are actually very good examples of exactly how structured and coherent portal is, so i dunno where you're going with them. beneath the grimeyness the band is very technical and highly structured, and it really doesn't take more than one or two listens to hear it.

and what itwasthatwas said too

also there is a huge difference between listening to an entire album by portal and just listening to half a track on youtube, which i'm sure is the extent which you, jason and tyler have heard.

Heh, I was at this show. Was great. Seepia and Outre era Portal is good.


Checked out some DM I've been meaning to get for a while now. Regretting not listening to Rippikoulu sooner. [i]Musta Seremonia[/i] is quality.

Also dug Blaspherian, after seeing it mentioned on the previous pages.

:lol: @ portal's costumes

and y'all should realize by now that jason doesn't like spazzy tech shit

you didn't like swarth?

No.

nice assumption

it's annoying when people assume I try to hate bands. The bands which most people here like that I don't (Portal, Ulterate, few others) I have listened to full albums multiple times over a period of a time and don't see redeeming qualities in. I want to like them.

but it's cool to slam the integrity of two of the longest serving posters in the thread and defenders of the genre too I guess

defenders of the genre

so idk. [I]valiant[/I]

so i tried listening to portal again for the first time since like 08 and they're actually kind of cool

but lmao at those costumes

[QUOTE=Deth;18690295]but it's cool to slam the integrity of two of the longest serving posters in the thread and defenders of the genre too I guess[/QUOTE]
lol

for the record i dont think portal is incoherent i just think they suck

[QUOTE]also there is a huge difference between listening to an entire album by portal and just listening to half a track on youtube, which i'm sure is the extent which you, jason and tyler have heard.[/QUOTE]

this is completely untrue and unfounded. I have listened to every one of their releases. From Swarth to Seepia, nice try berkay but no.

Backed, only I like Ulterate

yeah i've heard all their albums too. berkay for someone so defensive you've got the worst arguments of anyone on these forums.

and yes, protest the hero. just to beat you to the punch this time.

[QUOTE=rasputin]lol at portal being 'incoherent'

that already happened, js :lol:

I know, but it's usually his only argument so I'm saving him the trouble of repeating it.

[QUOTE=Haz;18690306]defenders of the genre

was listening to judas priest at the time, it was unavoidable

what. that's like saying your only argument is 'robots farting in space LOL!!' they're just jokes.

why does he need to have arguments anyway, you guys don't.

you're saying you don't like portal because you can't listen to them w/out laughing. and others are saying that they are incoherent. the gimmicky costumes. robots farting in space, etc.

and rasputin is saying they aren't incoherent just because you can't make out what's going on. assuming that you haven't listened to the album all the way through a couple of times isn't that much of an uncalled for assumption, because i'd imagine initial listens would be too murky/'incoherent' for everyone.

and it just comes down to portal fans saying they are awesome, and others making comments like these (which is fine)
[QUOTE]for the record i dont think portal is incoherent i just think they suck [/QUOTE]

I can definitely see why someone wouldn't like portal.

you really don't like ulcerate tyler? :(
