I agree, but the first four are classic.

I was reliving the glory of Fairies Wear Boots today. I need to re-learn that on guitar.

Ancient Dreams Rocks my socks, hard. Epicus is a close second.

How can you like Ancient Dreams more than Nightfall? Ancient Dreams, to me, is much less doomier, has worse production, and doesn't showcase Messiah's best vocal performance.

Nightfall will always be Messiah's best, but that's not to say Ancient Dreams doesn't have great tracks. Epistle No. 81 is one of my favorite Candlemass songs.

It is less doomier, but overall I think the album flows as whole really well. Not mention some of the riffs are absolutely fantastic.

agreed, Ancient Dreams sounds like a rehashed Nightfall to me in a way, although I still think it's a great album.

The production on Ancient Dreams doesn't make sense to me. Nightfall has superb production (vocally and instrumentally) and the production on Ancient Dreams is thin, Messiah's vocals don't sound as they should, and it almost has a minor "tin can" sound to me.

The album sounds much better through speakers, but forget listening to it with headphones.

I've only listened to it through speakers.

I've only listened to it through headphones tbh.

No one ever talks about Tales of Creation, which is also a superb album.

Agreed.

Into the Unfathomed tower is incredible

The prohecy sets up the mood for that album right from the start and it has Under the Oak on it, which is a Candlemass classic imo.

Is Asphyx (Hol) worth checking out?

Always been a fan of Martin Van Drunen's vocals

yeah, get [I]The Rack[/I]

I've already got a rack.

Your mom's


lolololololololol


EDIT: This album is killer.

Yes, Asphyx is worthwhile.

So yeah, got myself an EP by a band called Doomthrone, and it totally sucks.

On the other hand, the new Mar De Grises is absolutely fantabulous.

You've found a leak?
:eek:

I was just looking up some information about Mar De Grises on M-A.
Coincedence? I think not!

How's the CD like?

It's very atmospheric...almost has a bit of a post rock vibe, yet a lot more depressing. I never really listened to the first CD, so I couldn't compare, but I really like this one.

EDIT: Just repped you the link. :thumb:

Looks like I get to see the Thrones next month :D

Colour Haze live, probably the tightest, most atmospheric stoner band around at the moment!

What I'd give to see these guys play live :(

Indeed they do. Too bad that I only have[I]Tempel[/I].

Listening to Brave Murder Day right now. ****ing awesome...

That youtube clip is bitchin'. I'ma grab some now.

Are The Sword any good? They're playing a show close by and im considering going if they're good.

Really, really bad. I think Josh is the only person who likes them here.

Acid King, y/n?
