[QUOTE=Jondur;14771419]I'm gutted that I missed this one. I have the Live at Stockholm DVD and they look like such a great live band. How Eric sings that good while smoking constantly is beyond me.

People who don't like Trouble are most definitely not metal.[/QUOTE]

Haha yeah It's wierd that he smokes so much and his voice sounds almost as good as it did 20 years ago. He must've gone through about 20 during the show!

[QUOTE=Nuke Broadcast;14778591]ive been enjoying them quite a bit lately. good choice.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I like them. They do very good instrumentals, which was something I was surprised at. I've only got [i]Second Season[/i] so far, though.

October Tide are soooooooooooo good \m/

Rain Without End is one of the best Death/Doom albums I've heard lately.

I just got a few albums in the post, most of them doom-related. Listened to a couple; Burning Saviours were great, groovy 'retro' heavy rock. Centurion's Ghost are, so far, great as well. They remind me a bit of Thee Plague of Gentlemen, I think. Excellent name, anyway. EDIT: Actually, just got to the end of "Misery Serenade" - they remind me a lot of ..Gentlemen.

Of the rest, I'm expecting one to be droning, maybe funeral-like doom, one to be Sabbath-esque proper doom, and one to not be doom at all. I hope I'm right; suppose I'll be letting you know.

October Tide's music could suck and I would still listen to it simply to hear Renske's harsh vocals again. Fortunately, the music is excellent.

[QUOTE='Tender]Centurion's Ghost are, so far, great as well. They remind me a bit of Thee Plague of Gentlemen[/QUOTE]
I need to check Centurion's Ghost out then, I loooove Thee Plague of Gentlemen.

And Renske's is a great vocalist, I'm downloading the other October Tide album as we speak.

If you like TPOG then you must check out SerpentCult who are basically TPOG with a female singer. Great stuff.

Bartender - who is the other one you're expecting to be Sabbath type doom?

Pale Divine.

I'm still working towards getting albums by Saint Vitus and Trouble and so on, but they all seem to be out of print, limited availability and so on.

I did find some kind of reissue of an album or two by a band called Mercy, which claimed to be along the same lines, but I've never heard of them. Are they any good, do you know?

Anyone heard the new Candlemass yet?

Yeah, the new Candlemass is great.

I was listening to Warning last night, great ****.

The new Candlemass is great, but Warning is better.

I prefer Candlemass, but I'm a fanboy so....yeah :)

And Trouble are SOOOOOO GOOD. I'm getting their discography today.

Hell yeah Trouble is amazing.

I like the new Candlemass, but Demonia 6 is a horrid song.

I'm a Rob Lowe fanboy, as well as a Candlemass fanboy, so the match worked well.

When I saw Centurion's Ghost I wasn't that impressed, althought I thought their album was pretty good.

Thee Plague of Gentleman are quality.

You guys into Om?

I like them a little.

I love them.

Their album Variations on a Theme kills.

[QUOTE=Kage]You guys into Om?[/QUOTE]
I only have [I]Conference of the Birds[/I] and their split with Six Organce of Admittance, but yeah, they are great.

Why you would get that split and not Variations On A Theme is beyond me. Variations is the album they are known for. AKA get it now.

I just discovered Bitterdusk. They are ****ing amazing.

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;14788436]Why you would get that split and not Variations On A Theme is beyond me. Variations is the album they are known for. AKA get it now.[/QUOTE]

I think Conference with Birds is alot better though. Haven't heard the split.

[QUOTE=Bartender;14785626]Pale Divine.[/QUOTE]

Great band.

[QUOTE]I'm still working towards getting albums by Saint Vitus and Trouble and so on, but they all seem to be out of print, limited availability and so on.[/QUOTE]

Should be fairly easy to find Trouble albums as the first three were reissued recently. Similarly Southern Lord reissued St Vitus "V" so that shouldn't be too hard to find.

the others may prove more problematic. If you really want them and are willing to pay - I can find them for you.

[QUOTE]I did find some kind of reissue of an album or two by a band called Mercy, which claimed to be along the same lines, but I've never heard of them. Are they any good, do you know?[/QUOTE]

Which album? Messiah Marcolin used to sing for them.

[i]Witchburner[/i] - always an attractive kind of name - and [i]Mercy[/i] together, apparently.

I'll try and look harder for the reissues then, to be fair my searching so far has been reasonably minimal. I'm usually willing to pay quite a bit for stuff if I want it though, yeah.

[QUOTE=Txus;14782019]October Tide are soooooooooooo good \m/

Rain Without End is one of the best Death/Doom albums I've heard lately.[/QUOTE]

Hell yes.
I love that album.

I will listen to it afterthis album finishes. :D

I've been 100% addicted to Ahab's The Call of the Wretched Sea lately. The shirt I ordered got shipped out yesterday :thumb: .

Awesome, I also want a shirt.
/looks around the internet.

I really hope to catch them live sometime.
They had my favorite album of 2006. :)

[url]http://www.napalmrecords.com/[/url]

go to their store.

Cool beans,
Thanks man.
I will order a shirt once I'm back in the Netherlands. :D

no problem. They're limited to 500 though, so you might wanna get one quick

Alright.
Hmm, then I indeed think it would be better to be quick.
Lemme check.

Does anybody like Ea - [i]Ea Taesse[/i]? It's probably my least favourite so far of the albums I've bought in the last couple of weeks, but then from my point of view it was a bit of a risk buying it anyway, and I've quite liked it the couple of times I've put it on.

I like it quite a lot, although some buzzing in the production makes it lose some atmospehere at times.
I think it'squite good Funeral doom.
The use of synths is quite well, even though you can draw some clear paralels to other fd bands.

I just got it because of the dead language thing - I'm shallow like that - but now that I have it, I do like it, yeah.

This dead language thing is really just media promotion.
But the music can stand on its own quite well.
Not bad and I will certainly be keeping an eye open for this guy in the future.

Dead language?

The name, titles, lyrics and so on are all "based on the sacral texts of ancient civilizations.. recreated according to the results of archeological research". Don't think they give any idea anywhere as to what language it is, which doesn't really seem to matter anyway since as far as I heard the vocals, apart from copious amounts of choir, were pretty sparse.

Oh. Sounds...interesting, I guess.

I recently discovered Bitterdusk and Spiritus Mortis. Bitterdusk is ****ing amazing, and SM is pretty darn good.

Yay for random finds.

Bitterdusk sounds very interesting Pate.
I will look in to them.
