Awesome Canadian Traditional Heavy/Doom stuff. If you like Witchfinder General you will like this, I reckon.

[QUOTE=Dargon;16092128]Why does Lowe sound so much better on the new Candlemass than on Solitude albums?

Also, what's with this Warning band. Austin is clearly an emokike mallfoggot for whoring them so much.[/QUOTE]

Warning is excellent, although I've been cutting my plays down for them. Been more interested in While Heaven Wept, rediscovering my love for Candlemass, and a few other epic doom bands. Glad you liked the Doomshine, too, by the way.

Anyone read the lyrics to "Where Nothing Hurts but Solitude?" I did the other day and the song is totally about flying. Like actual bird flight. Judging by the song title at first, I thought it was just about depression amongst other things.

Can't wait until Friday :D :D

[QUOTE=Nostalgia;16091997]Haha. Nah dude, it was pretty good. Great vocals.[/QUOTE]

I prefer A Walk Through Oceans. Have you heard that one? Having said that "The Gallery" was probably the best song we did together. Can't believe we recorded it nine years ago. It was also the last song I played with them (it was always the set closer) in Bradford 23rd March 2003 - I was so gutted to leave the band (they'd been a major part of my life for 8 years) that I was fighting back the tears by the end of it.

Sorry about that - bit of nostalgia for you nostalgia.

I actually haven’t heard it, but I’ll get it now. I do really like Transfiguartion, even though it’s only three songs, hehe.

At work today I was questing for crushing & epic doom instead of working (as per usual) and I came across this:

LOL

hahahaha

They look like major fags.

Darkness again, darkness forever, my heart is gone, gone forever!!

LOL, great lyrics.

They look like actors in a soap opera.

I'm beginning to enjoy While Heaven Wept's version of Epistle No. 1 over Candlemass'. Both are epic and amazing though.

LOL[/QUOTE]

I'm willing to bet substantial amounts of money that a band member wrote the review!

[I]So I got this album from a friend of mine who knows the band...[/I]

Dopesmoker!!

the one guy on the right side, looks like if he is going to kill himself... he looks so depressive :lol:

I finally listened to Watching from a Distance yesterday so I now understand all the hype behind it. Great vocals.

I'm glad. No doubt they're due the traditional MX backlash by now but f*** it they're a great band and have been for 10 odd years. I guess it's good that so many people are getting into the band, it's just a shame that very few of you are buying it. After all if you bought it then you'd get records from bands like Argus, The River, The Lamp of Thoth a lot quicker because the label would have more money to cover studio fees etc.

Yeah I know it's the typical Jondur rant about downloading, but the band and the label boss are friends of mine. And also I think that record is an all time classic and I don't understand why you wouldn't want to own it.

I own Watching from a Distance, but your absolutly right that I download more than I buy. The problem with the more underground bands is that it's harder to get the albums than with more known bands like Candlemass (even those I have to order though) and if I haven't heard it before it's a bigger risk of spending money on an album I'll never listen to.

yeah, with all those copies of Watching From a Distance floating around waiting to be bought!

I wish I had the kind of connections you seem to have. I was actually thinking about buying the album soon but i almost never order from smaller labels.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;16098352]yeah, with all those copies of Watching From a Distance floating around waiting to be bought![/QUOTE]

It will be reissued by CYCLONE EMPIRE very soon. As will The Strength To Dream. CE have good distribution ( I bought my copies of the Solstice reissues from HMV) so you shouldn't have any problems. Watching From A Distance will also be released on vinyl by METAL SUPREMACY.

All these labels are 100% legit, if you get ripped off I will send you my Die-hard copy.

It's easy these days - everyone's got emails, websites and paypal. And you can check stuff out on Myspace so you don't have to spend money on an album you've never heard.

Anyway - I don;t mean to be so down - it's good that you're all appreciating a great band.

I really want to start getting some vinyls, so I may have to get the [I]Watching From a Distance[/I] vinyl when it comes out.

I'd buy lots of vinyls if I had something to play them on

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;16098778]I'd buy lots of vinyls if I had something to play them on[/QUOTE]

Thats exactly how it is for me. I've been thinking about getting that ion recorder play Chris has.

Warning is so two weeks ago.

I'll see Warning next month.

np: Wijlen Wij - L'Anatheme

[quote]It will be reissued by CYCLONE EMPIRE very soon.[/quote] yeah thats what ive been waiting for

Friday I've got Hounds of Hasselvander w/ Bobby Liebling doing Pentagram songs/ Revelation/ and Ol Scratch
