I just discovered Bitterdusk. They are ****ing amazing.

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;14788436]Why you would get that split and not Variations On A Theme is beyond me. Variations is the album they are known for. AKA get it now.[/QUOTE]

I think Conference with Birds is alot better though. Haven't heard the split.

[QUOTE=Bartender;14785626]Pale Divine.[/QUOTE]

Great band.

[QUOTE]I'm still working towards getting albums by Saint Vitus and Trouble and so on, but they all seem to be out of print, limited availability and so on.[/QUOTE]

Should be fairly easy to find Trouble albums as the first three were reissued recently. Similarly Southern Lord reissued St Vitus "V" so that shouldn't be too hard to find.

the others may prove more problematic. If you really want them and are willing to pay - I can find them for you.

[QUOTE]I did find some kind of reissue of an album or two by a band called Mercy, which claimed to be along the same lines, but I've never heard of them. Are they any good, do you know?[/QUOTE]

Which album? Messiah Marcolin used to sing for them.

[i]Witchburner[/i] - always an attractive kind of name - and [i]Mercy[/i] together, apparently.

I'll try and look harder for the reissues then, to be fair my searching so far has been reasonably minimal. I'm usually willing to pay quite a bit for stuff if I want it though, yeah.

[QUOTE=Txus;14782019]October Tide are soooooooooooo good \m/

Rain Without End is one of the best Death/Doom albums I've heard lately.[/QUOTE]

Hell yes.
I love that album.

I will listen to it afterthis album finishes. :D

I've been 100% addicted to Ahab's The Call of the Wretched Sea lately. The shirt I ordered got shipped out yesterday :thumb: .

Awesome, I also want a shirt.
/looks around the internet.

I really hope to catch them live sometime.
They had my favorite album of 2006. :)

go to their store.

Cool beans,
Thanks man.
I will order a shirt once I'm back in the Netherlands. :D

no problem. They're limited to 500 though, so you might wanna get one quick

Alright.
Hmm, then I indeed think it would be better to be quick.
Lemme check.

Does anybody like Ea - [i]Ea Taesse[/i]? It's probably my least favourite so far of the albums I've bought in the last couple of weeks, but then from my point of view it was a bit of a risk buying it anyway, and I've quite liked it the couple of times I've put it on.

I like it quite a lot, although some buzzing in the production makes it lose some atmospehere at times.
I think it'squite good Funeral doom.
The use of synths is quite well, even though you can draw some clear paralels to other fd bands.

I just got it because of the dead language thing - I'm shallow like that - but now that I have it, I do like it, yeah.

This dead language thing is really just media promotion.
But the music can stand on its own quite well.
Not bad and I will certainly be keeping an eye open for this guy in the future.

Dead language?

The name, titles, lyrics and so on are all "based on the sacral texts of ancient civilizations.. recreated according to the results of archeological research". Don't think they give any idea anywhere as to what language it is, which doesn't really seem to matter anyway since as far as I heard the vocals, apart from copious amounts of choir, were pretty sparse.

Oh. Sounds...interesting, I guess.

I recently discovered Bitterdusk and Spiritus Mortis. Bitterdusk is ****ing amazing, and SM is pretty darn good.

Yay for random finds.

Bitterdusk sounds very interesting Pate.
I will look in to them.

I love Spiritus Mortis. Vesa is a great singer - belting it out like Eric Adams!

Even I must admit though that they're on the border between Epic Doom and just plain Epic Metal.

Never heard Bitterdusk - any more info on them?

Any Burning Witch fans?

I like clutch and queens of the stone age.Kyuss is cool along with unida.

Lolz at Pate's music getting pirated.

Second band down. It should be.

Pirated on a spanish blog no less.

Off the top of my head right now, they have elements of My Dying Bride and Candlemass.

@ that blog: I talked to the guy who runs it, and sent him the album.

Best Doom blog I know btw :)

I bet the people who run it are your uncle's attorney's sons right? Or something close to that.

**** you Anthony

You're upset because I hit the nail right on the head.

It's all in love Mike, all in love.
