Crap yeah!

[QUOTE=Evoke]I listened to Swallow The Sun too. Thanks for the recommendation. I would check them out soon.

You're welcome.
Enjoy.

You actually like them?
A lot of people give them **** because of the gothic element, but I really enjoy their riffs and atmopshere.
Plus the use of two vocalists works out pretty well, and that comes form a guy that normally doesn't like female vocals (in metal).
I'm looking forward to their new release.
They have samples on their myspace, sounding promising. :)

Brilliant stuff.

Yes they've been posted here before.

And I like them.
Good combination of different styles.
It sounds a bit like Tool playing doom.

Actually that's a good way to describe them.

I love the song Rebirth especially, I have it on my myspace page.

:cool:

Have you discovered any new doom related stuff lately Luc?

np: Primordial - The Song Of The Tomb

The new Virgin Black is pretty cool, it's basically a My Dying Bride -esque death/doom album with a funeral doom edge.

I also got this band called The Foreshadowing, they're pretty good.

My computer is basically dead so I haven't been able to really look for any new music. Next week I'm ordering parts and building a nice high end PC though. :cool:

Nice.
I've heard you talking about Virgin Black a couple of times, they're from Australia right?
Foreshadowing, never heard of the.

New PC ftw!

I believe so. They're sort of gothic/symphonic/orchestral doom usually, but their new album is really different. I like all their stuff though.

btw: [URL]http://www.myspace.com/theforeshadowing[/URL]

Oh yes and I also heard a nice sludge band called Dystopia.

omg i love The Foreshadowing! i was trying to recommend them a lot a whiile ago on some of my lists but it seemed Balls was the only one that looked them up. very good band

I found them out because they added me on myspace. :lol:

lol nice, i found them out through a blog. i bought their cd the next day

NP: Warning

/austin

I'm listening to The Foreshadowing thoroughly now and wow it is fantastic.

I had liked them before but hadn't listened in depth. :p

I'm listening to them right now.
Not bad.

They really remind me of a doom metal styled Riverside, especially the vocals, but also the compositions.

yeah they do show some Riverside, but also some Katatonia. which imo is a damn good mix

so far i cant decide which is my fav song but Ladykiller is near the top

I sort of went on a downloading spree a few days ago and discovered a few really good doom, death/doom bands. Last night I listened to the first hour of Esoteric's The Pernicious Enigma, I'm not really sure what to think of it yet. Definitely needs more than one spin to take in.
[QUOTE=pate;15980645]NP: Warning[/QUOTE]
Are they any good? (I'm assuming you're talking about the band) I almost got Watching From a Distance the other day but I didn't want to get carried away downloading.

Esoteric. \m/
Hell yeah.
Great band, they indeed need a few spins to click.
Psychedelic funeral doom ftw.

I'm so looking forward to the new album, which will be a double album, coming out during spring or summer. :D

np: Nadja - Breakpoint

Yeah, a good mix indeed.
Nice keys too.

Yeah, with the Pernicious Enigma being 2 hours long I decided to only take on the first hour/disc. I'll have to listen to the rest tonight. Good stuff as far as my initial impression, I just wish they would have mastered it a little better, ie buried vocals/guitar.

Well, that's sort of the point to make it sound so buried.
Get Subconcious Dissolution Into The Continuum, if you want a bit more clear production.

I know, but i tend to get a bit carried away as a guitar player trying to pick out the riffs in songs. The vocals being buried only bothered me a little.

Yes, very good.

At Giza has to be one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Jondur: Yeah, that song has fantastic lyrics, as does the whole album.

Yeah, it's an absolute essential.

Watching From a Distance is extremely good, Rattle you can hear one of their songs (the best one) on their sputnik page.

Esoteric are my favorite FD band. I love love love Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum. Everything from the name to the production to the atmosphere is breathtaking.

esoteric are a snooze

Breathtaking, eh?

It's the sonic equivalent of a Lynch film.

Not breathtaking, but awesome; yeah.

The artwork of the new album looks sweet.
I wonder how the album will sound like 100 minutes of new material.
Plus two new band members.
They always take ages to make a new album, but then it's good.

Whoever told me to get Pilgrimage instead of Conference of the Birds sucks really bad.
