Oms Flight of the Eagle and Bhimas Theme are absolutely immense, theres a breakdown in the former that is absolutely out of this world.

On the stoner (rock) side of things Fu Manchu are bringing a new album out soon, liked the earlier stuff but they've got a bit wierd with recent releases.

[quote=txus]any of you like officium triste?[/quote]

Stabat Mater are ****ing awesome, filthy album

And I thought Officium Triste were pretty enjoyable, idk

and yeah stabat mater is crushging my soul as we speak

I left you a shout last night whoring my new blog, fag. It's a collab blog between me and my gf, haha.

That Stabat Mater album is one of the best in the year. Good year for music so far, tbh.

and yeah, mater is dirty ****ing crushing. double kick in like first or second song, cant remember, totally destroys.

Hah, thanks. I'm going to start linking friends blogs today, we just started last night.

[QUOTE=Six Foot Revolver;17516423]i've got pilgrimage and god is good, which om album should i get next?[/QUOTE]

conference of the birds for sure

variations on a theme is good but it's definitely their weakest album

Conference of the Birds is okay. I don't see the appeal to Om at all.

yeah i remember reading some of your comments in that review. they're not for everybody i guess. i can see how they'd be boring.

om appeals to my soul

I'm sure I said something stupid. I do need to give them another chance, I just remember everyone slobbering over At Giza in particular and then when I played it, I don't know, it just didn't hit me like it apparently did everyone else.

om are fairly good but very overrated

id have to really be in the mood for them to actually listen to them, and i dont think ive ever been in that mood and i probably never will be. but its pretty good music.

have you heard pilgrimage or the new one? i actually prefer pilgrimage over conference.

nah that's alls i have

will look further eventually

yah pilgrimage is sorta different to conference, a lot more focused and perhaps more 'solemn'. it's got bass.

Feel like I've neglected you guys. how's things?

Anyone going to the Dutch Doom Day? I only ask because I'll be there, thumping tubs for Unsilence on Saturday 24th October.

hey dude, whatta you think of the WHW lineup change? Pretty disappointing, huh?

Is this Tom no longer singing?

It's funny really, because he's a great, great singer but doesn't seem to like singing! Firstly he pulled out of doing Solstice and now WHW. This is pure speculation on my part but I wonder whether it stems from a gig they did in Belgium in 2003. Basically, Tom had some issues (I'm guessing women issues) and got steaming drunk, and I mean properly hammered, and had (unsurprisingly) a terrible gig. I don't think he managed to sing a full line himself - Frank from Mourning Beloveth/Old Season got up and did most of the gig for him.

I don't think they've played live since - but I may be wrong.

All the same I think it's a great shame. the new guy is a great singer but Tom's voice is part of WHW for me.
