[quote]I'm pleasantly surprised by the doom scene in my country.
We have two doom metal oriented festivals.
I'm going to one of them next weekend[/quote]
Lucky.

[quote]Rasputin - if you are interested in Blackened Funeral Doom, and are keen on investigating Australian metal, try and obtain Elysian Blaze - Levitating The Carnal. Awesomely eerie in places.[/quote]
Yeah sorry, I missed that. I think I might've heard the name before, I'll see if I can find them. Cheers for that.

Are any of My Dying Bride's albums remotely close to being as good as Turn Loose the Swans?

[I]Angel and the Dark River.[/I]

k I'll check that out thanks

Turn Loose the Swans is imo the best, but as guitrguy says Angel and the Dark River is solid too. I enjoyed their new one quite a bit as well, had a few decent tracks.

yup, i agree!
Turn Loose The Swans is classic!

[QUOTE=guitrguy;16227862][I]Angel and the Dark River.[/I][/QUOTE]Awesome album.

Like Gods of the Sun and ALODK are my favorites.

priestess

sucks

balls

My Dying Bride is terrible with the exception of Turn Loose the Swans. The rest is garbage that all the fags eat up.

Austin you're like a butthurt version of Tyler.

i agree with austin

I hate MDB with passion.

:lol: this is so true :lol:

So, Sons of Otis are quite good. I think [I]Templeball[/I] is better than [I]Songs for Worship[/I], but [I]Templeball[/I] has a cover of [I]Mississippi Queen[/I], a song I hate with a passion.

I think I'm the only person who enjoys The Dreadful Hours, and I don't know why.

It's okay.

I think it's probably their third best, under Angel And The Dark River and LGOTS, which I'm spinning again now. Fantastic album.

idk, MDB gets pretty boring.

MDB are pretty gay tbh.

The Snow in my Hand and The Crown of Sympathy are their best songs.

Crown of Sympathy ftw, such an epic song.

I reached 1,000 Warning plays on last.fm. Now for 2,000.

I challenge you to 200 listenings in one week.

Hasn't he done that already?

idk

My record is 202, ahha.

I tied that this week with Melvins.

I can't pass 120 :(

I don't think I've even passed 100. Highest would probably be like 80 or so.

I think the most I ever hit was like 60, lol.

Although I'm a fan, I can agree with this statement. They have released a large amount of utter crap as well.

I've only heard the really early stuff and it's quite good, don't know about the later stuff.

[quote]don't know about the later stuff.[/quote]
The majority of it was pretty bad, but their most recent A Line of Deathless Kings was decent.

I get them and Paradise Lost confused sometimes, but yeah, both bands early stuff is great

Paradise Lost's Gothic is good, and Shades of God is pretty enjoyable. I don't really like any of their newer stuff.

The later MDB stuff is great. I could do without the early stuff, and all of PL's catalog.
