[QUOTE=Bleekill;17593172]It's definitely one of their best. Cannon and Why Dost Thou Hide Thyself In Clouds? are especially amazing.[/QUOTE]

I found a site th still has the double vinyl, I'm thinking about ordering it.

Got back yesterday from them there Netherlands. I was visiting the Dutch Doom Days in Rotterdam.

The Baroeg is a great place to play - great atmosphere, expensive beer but it's nice.

very brief band by band review:

Saturday 24th
Tekhton: Sludgy stuff with Crowbar vocals. Irritated me a bit by pissing around with some stupid noisebox for what seemed like 3 and a half years. Had some interesting chord progressions but ultimately left me cold.

My Lament: My boat remained thoroughly unfloated by this band. One member was wearing a top hat and a frilly shirt. Unfortunately the top hat was not top enough - too small! If you're going to wear a silly hat you can't be half-hearted about it. It was still better than the music though

Unsilence: I thought it went reasonably well and we had some nice comments from people.

Process of Guilt: This sort of thing is not usually my sort of thing, but you know what? I liked em. Like most bands of this ilk they could easily cut out 3 minutes of each song and you wouldn't notice but apart from that they were pretty damn good. Reminded me a bit of Morgion.

Saturnalia Temple: Pretty cool spacey stuff. Great frontman.

the Prophecy: The Prophecy are actually quite good these days. There's more clean vocals and they play well live. The lyrics still tend to be a bit weepy but I quite enjoyed them.

Lord Vicar: LV were ace. Chritus is a legend on stage - crazy faces, crazy moves. Well worth checking out.

Sunday 25th

Fatum Elisum: Started off with a guy in a priest's oufit singing hymns on his own. Sounded quite promising but then went downhill into standard doom/death stuff. Still some nice clean vox bits.

Mose: sludgy stuff. Pretty cool actually.

sardonis: One guitarist and a drummer. Boring.

the 11th Hour/Spiritus Mortis/Erob Altar/Count Raven: Fantastic true doom bands. really like them all. Missed them all because I had to get the ferry. arse.

the only two i know enough to comment on are process of guilt and the prophecy, the former being good but still standard doom/death while the latter being really mediocre (have only heard the latest album though)

Too bad you missed SM and CR. At least you saw LV.

What did you guys thought of the Shrinebuilder album?

Nice.
Were you there last year?
I was, but I forgot about this year. :(

I hope Roadburn has a good line up next year, cause that's also an awesome doom festival.

[QUOTE=pate;17601713]Too bad you missed SM and CR. At least you saw LV.[/QUOTE]

And Erob Altar who are ace. I was never that fussed by Lord Vicar on record but live they made perfect sense. You have to see the new record as well - Proper fancy! Hardback cover and all! Had a good nostalgic chat with Chritus as well - having said that he is a least 10-15 years older than me!

I bought the new Count Raven as well. I was a bit aprehensive as it's basically just Dan these days. But it's pretty good.

Jonduuurrr

hear the new WHW? Not really doom, but it's WHW so it's still pretty good.

[QUOTE=the2stranger;17602300]Nice.

No. To be honest I only went this year because I was playing! there tends to be a bit too much doom/death and sludge for my liking. I might make the trip next year though because it's a great venue and a good atmosphere. Rotterdam is a bit dead though - walked for an hour and a half trying to find a shop to buy cigarettes!

You forgot?! You're almost as bad as me!!

Yes but the hipster quotient is a bit too high!

got some recordings of my band up on myspace, might appeal to some here

Bollocks - now I look like I'm copying you! There's tracks from the new Unsilence album (featuring your truly on t'drums ov doom) on Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/unsilence

Please let me know what you think.

I don't really like the vocals, which is weird since they remind me of Terry Jones, and I like him.

that's you on drums then! for some reason i was thinking you did the vocals, and i was about to say very lightly i think they could potentially be changed or taken down in the mix, but that your drummer is very good. but really i think the songs would be much better with heavier vocals. obviously this is just my opinion, it also turns off a lot of other listeners. the production is also good, nice reverb on the drums and the guitars all sound great.

If by heavier you mean death metal vocals then no way! One day I'll upload the "Shadows Cast in Stone" demo from 1994 which is all death metal vocals but I think those days are long gone for Unsilence.

His voice could be a bit rougher for my tastes (more Butch Balich than Chris Barnes though) but he's a damn good singer - spot on. Funny - we had a far inferior singer for 14 years and no one really said anything negative about the vocals!

Anyhow - thanks for the comments.

been listening to iron monkey lately

been listening to stfu lately

Been liking Thou's Sabbath covers lately

yeah i enjoyed those as well, was nice to hear sabbath all sludged up

listening to bongzilla, lots groove on amerijuanican

Ive been listening to some Cathedral lately, so good.

[QUOTE=rasputin;17621210]yeah i enjoyed those as well, was nice to hear sabbath all sludged up[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Into the Void has always been one of my favorites and they nailed it.

Thinking of going to see Om and Sunn 0))) in London in December

Mainly going for Om but I've heard Sunn are an "interesting" experience

my friend said last time he went they had so many smoke machines on you could literally just see the person next to you, sounds like hell of an atmosphere

[QUOTE=thomasj12e34;17621454]listening to bongzilla, lots groove on amerijuanican[/QUOTE]

That's the CD I'm listening to right now, good ****.
