They've only released one album since this, so it'd be the same scenario if it was 20 years ago. I take WHW's music seriously (I know it's lol on this forum if an album emotionally captivates anyone) but their new album doesn't do anything for me. I know he's saying the "music is good" but I look for something more than just how it sounds. Like I said, I bet there's 50 albums that you can compare their sound too, thus rendering it pretty damn forgettable.

This is partly due to Tom leaving. Rain Irving didn't even write the lyrics, so him singing about all Tom's experiences/events seems stupid.

emotional captivation hahaha

yeah see

So ****ing good

Swanson's back in Hour of 13. New tracks on their myspace. More at 11.

I quite like a bit of doom!

Recently been loving Pentagram's entire discography (even though some of it is questionable in quality, its all pretty sweet). Although the coolest thing I about Show Em How to me was the album title.

I know they arn't "doom metal" in its strictest sense, I guess its traditional doom?

Also a big fan of Witchcraft from Sweden. In fact, all swedish rock bands atm. :)

Electric Wizard rules!

Welcome. A lot of us are trad doom fans here.

Just got around to listening to Shrinebuilder the other day. Pretty good from the two times I listened to it.

Yeah I like it alot. It would be hard to f*ck up an album with those dudes behind it. Solar Benediction and Blind For All to See are probably my faves.

I thought it was pretty mediocre since I was expecting much more from that lineup.

Definitely wasn't mind blowing, but I still enjoyed it.

When I went to check out the albums for Grand Magus on here, I realized that these guys deserve much more attention on here. They are the business.

I think they're pretty well liked. They just haven't put out anything super-recently, hence the lack of current, topical discussion.

i've only heard iron will which was pretty cool

Grand Magus are great. Love the singer's voice, quite talented.

Any of you guys heard 11th Hour? One of my friends is constantly nagging me to get their album.

I didn't really like Iron Will, actually.

Iron Will is more of NWOBHM album than doom...though, there are a couple doomy tracks on there. I really like it alot. If you want their doom record, you should get Monument, that album owns.

Well, Iron Will came out last year, but there wasn't much of a response to it...thats what I am getting at, but yeah, I love them.

But I do love me some stoner/doom

Did you like Wolf's Return?

I LOVE Iron Will, but Wolf's Return doesn't do much for me.

On that note, I too love Iron Will, but the self title doesn't do it for me.

I was convinced I was listening to Messiah when I first heard Iron Will.

iron will is one of the most metal albums ever

Yeah, I wish Grand Magus would tour the U.S. east coast.

[QUOTE=pate;17681745]Did you like Wolf's Return?

I LOVE Iron Will, but Wolf's Return doesn't do much for me.[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard it. I'll check it out.

Just got Iron Will yesterday.

Really digging it.

I agree about the self titled.


For me, they're releases form a weird parallel.

s/t > Does nothing for me.

Monument =~= same style as s/t > I love it

Wolf's Return > Does nothing for me.

Iron Will =~= same style as Wolf's Return > I love it.


I hope I like the upcoming one as much as Iron Will.
