Elite. So elite I couldn't find a decent-sized pic of it anywhere lol.[/QUOTE]

I didn't even know this was kicking about yet. I'll have to check it out, I remember liking Masterpiece Of Bitterness a few years back.

It's good man. If you can trust the tastes of a 14 year old girl ;)

I will be playing this [I]at least[/I] once a week until I DIE.

i dont really see the massive amount of replay on that album.

That sucks for you then ;)

yeah it does as its at most a 3.5 for me.

Go figure. I always thought you and I had pretty similar tastes. They gotta diverge somewhere though I suppose.

dude




cynic blows

No, not really. Not at all actually. You're entitled to your opinion though.

Okay, this is insane. I don't even know what to make of this except that the vocals annoy me, but the instrumentation is just bananas. Their drummer is a monkey.

yeah the drumming is so good on that album

np:

I really love how they (Infester) tempo change your face off and slip ****ing doom metal between the blazing like tech death. And it works.....

haha, i do love Focus though. 3.5 for TIA shows that i do like it, but its just not amazing to me like it is for most. sort of like how Balls thinks In Vain arent that good

Almost done. I really like it, and anyone bitching about the female vocals seems to have conveniently forgotten their first album.

...And out Comes the Wolves is a great album.

i'm listening to a richmond,va-based melodic hardcore band that isnt strike anywhere. theyre called landmines, and theyre pretty sweet

What's this? Looks interesting.
edit: Nvrm, the album cover is perfectly eligible ;). Is that their EP?

Well I like the different techniques he uses, but tbh I've never really come to grips with harsh vocals for the most part, and I probably never will. I've just learned to tune them out and focus on the music. That being said, I'll likely get used to them after a few listens.

Void of Silence - Human Antithesis

Just got that recently, haven't listened yet, it's funeral doom right? How is it?

[QUOTE=AngelPhoenix;17065969]Just got that recently, haven't listened yet, it's funeral doom right? How is it?[/QUOTE]

yeah its funeral doom (not as slow as a Ahab or an Evoken though), but it has some death/traditional doom parts. so far im really liking it. its has some really eerie dark ambient sections. the opening track is an epic 20 minute song. theres some spoken passages if those dont bother you. has to vocalist from Primordial so the vocals are awesome

It's kind of surreal hearing Billy Bragg's thick accent in pretty traditional country music.
