Sounds like it will be as half-assed as the last release.

ghoulgotha sounds like gravediggaz' goth rock band

sweet, will check when my internet isn't buggered

Definitely gonna suck

lol

sounds good

Gonna rule. Was just jamming their demos today

Hoping for the quirky elements to outweigh the disjointedness of the debut. These guys have the potential to make something great but doing so with a straight face doesn't seem to work for them.

well now I have to listen to that Sweet Trip album dang thx for that snox. I mean I don't love Loveless but Souvlaki is sweet.

Song rips, really stoked for this

I still haven't listened to these guys but that is some sweet album art

If nothing else this band does have fantastic album artwork and imagery.

didnt like their last release so hopefully this one kicks ass, either way im stoked. awesome track m/

This is like death/doom for people with adhd

Mixed about what I've heard previously but will check

Song was actually really fucking good damn

This is like death/doom for people with adhd [2]

cmon guys the riff that starts at 0:42 might be the worst riff of all time.

lmao wow what was that

rest of the song is cool tho, if a bit amateurish. the production and guitar tone rule

lowkey sounds like someone who's been listening to dm for like 3 months trying to write a really super cool osdm song

it sounds nice tho so there's that

that's unfortunate

You guys have to admit this is a night and fucking day improvement over their debut cmon

first time i've heard them so i cant say. i dig it tho, criticism aside

First minute or so is kinda cringey but afterwards there's some decent/cool riffs, particularly at about 1:35ish. That "lead" guitar tone bugs me though, but yeah, I got into this way more than their previous work.

that's unfortunate

Love the artwork too. Album's gonna rule

Holy fuck this is awful

Songs starts off a bit shaky but overall pretty cool.

5's post are the best

5 posts are only good when Rasputin does them

Don't rate

Don't get hate

mo' ratings


mo' problems

The leads are not very good tbh. Production is awesome tho. Overall sounds like an improvement over the debut.

I still have to check out Sweet Trip stop nagging me snox

this is sweet

I really liked it, though I wasn't digging some of the vocal deliveries. Overall it was good, definitely seems better than the first album already.

dont care what everyone says, these guys slay. im actually rediscovering their debut and I was completely wrong about this band, really looking forward to this new release now.
m/

The hate will slowly disperse as it becomes less and less trendy

Debut rules and this will rule

lol

Boring -______-

After a few listens, this isn't terrible but I think Keyblade nailed it with "amateurish". The production is definitely the best part, but the rest is too disjointed. I actually am a huge fan of the members involved (I mean Father Befowled, Encoffination, Funebrarum, Decrepitaph all rule) but this still sounds like a newcomers attempt at creating death metal with a twist. Surely we can all agree that pedigree doesn't necessarily equate to quality.

not to mention the band is called "ghoulgotha"...

also that

wth is this garbage

How is the band name worse than literally any other death metal band name, that seems like a dumb complaint to me. Death metal as a rule is kind of ridiculous and over the top.

And I personally don't see the music as amateurish, it's kind if disjointed yea but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's intentional and part of the charm. The production is great and the riffs are great. Can't convince you to like it though do to each his own!

Yeah, the music doesn't come off as amateurish to me. Just the way some of the vocals are delivered, like the "Galaxies surrender amidst all trembling nuances passionate; awakening century" line at about 2:40 just doesn't sound good imo, but it's a minor quibble. The rest sounded great imo, was a bit of a surprise.

what the fuck is this "pseudo-maturity" nonsense?

he's clearly matured since his early days on the site

"cmon guys the riff that starts at 0:42 might be the worst riff of all time."

shit taste in metal confirmed


have yet to hear the debut but this song is quite impressive

"this song is quite impressive"

shit taste in metal confirmed

That album is really good though lol

"cmon guys the riff that starts at 0:42 might be the worst riff of all time."

shit taste in metal confirmed"


But it is an awful riff lol. listening to this again the vox are weak af too. I feel pretty much the same way about this as the debut really; some good ideas and cool moments but lots of problems too.

I have like 6 though

"That album is really good though lol"

No it's not

"But it is an awful riff lol"

How can I trust your opinion on riffz when you like slipknot?

Blindly

Ghoulgotha is a great name tbh almost as good as phlebotomized

""That album is really good though lol"

No it's not"

Except it is

This is like Demilich but without the uhh... quality.

sounds nothing like Demilich

[3] I dig the band name

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/images/members/1065774.jpg

Was alright, probably need to hear it in context.

Adr must admire Bathory the same way I do, except he doesn't because he's a poserlord.

[2]

Like half the "metal heads" here adr is one of them

What do you mean attitude, image and ethos, like I need to have long hair and a beard to like metal or I shouldn't be bothered by band/album/track names and the general themes?

yikes, i hope yall are being facetious

lmao you're funny. Thank god i'm not delusional "metal head" . A snox protege, thought i'd never see that, but here we are.

yeah everyone who don't like this band is a poser agrd !@!11!

Die.

Pretty much what snox said, I see it all the time from adr, nocturnalize and torts.

Listen to the music but disrespect the culture and history, smh.

lmao i want some proof when i "disrespect the culture and history" you're talking from your ass.

I mean is there anything ACTUALLY wrong with that? I love metal and metal culture, but if I'm talking to someone that thinks Immortal has put out some amazing records but thinks corpse paint is fucking dumb, is that really something I should shun them over?

I have no opinion on this band one way or another, this single was bretty okay. Vox are kinda a low point

Last I remember adr was in the goatlord thread

"All the users on here who claim to like metal but distance themselves from the attitudes, image and ethos of metal are the biggest posers of all"

I don't know if I see eye to eye with that statement, but I do understand where it does stem from. But honestly doesn't the whole idea of metal or music in general get fucked up if the ethos and images of said musical subcultures take precedence over the music itself? I don't know but it seems pretty fucked to me.

Also, I think after a couple of listens, I can now say I feel that these guys finally channeled an approach that works. It sounds a lot more tongue in cheek now and doesn't try to be this ambitious and straight-faced wreck. Production also rules face.

I mean I think corpse paint is kinda cool in context but it's still kinda weird, am I a poser?

snox and the mystletfag are so delusional they think the metal albums they 5'd is superior and if u haven't 5'd anything with the "goatlord" in the title you're a poser legit yeah

"It's an unspoken reality that metal is ridiculous as fuck. That's the whole appeal."

But this I can 110 percent stand by.

literally no one said that

"Essentially the whole "haha I'm too above the silliness of metal" attitude is ignorant and poserish as fuck"
When you put it that way, it's actually kinda hard to argue with.

can we stop unironically using the word poser like this is 2003 metal archives

Metal is silly indeed, I don't feel "above" that but I generally choose not to outwardly embrace the silliness of it. Not that I'm embarrassed to like metal but I don't need a crusty jacket with a bunch of band patches and shit to enjoy it.

>can we stop unironically using the word poser like this is 2003 metal archives

reminder just in case somebody was still wondering why people take their distance from the attitude

I understand your point fully then. Yeah I think that's fair. It's definitely part of what makes the music unique.

The thing is that the loud, rebellious and extreme tendencies of metal culture doesn't exactly meld with my behavior or philosophies. It doesn't mean that I can't love the music.

But in the meantime, I do respect the reputation metal has. I don't think of myself being above it in any way but rather enjoying the music and culture to the limits that make my experience constantly one that I am able to invest myself in.

you think people "disrespected it" only by not liking some of the metal albums you worship, let's be real.

Part of me wants to disagree with you Snox because, as much as I love the ridiculousness of the genre, the whole telling people what to like/how to like something is generally wrong.

But then part of me can't help but agree that it's like watching a horror movie with your eyes closed because the monsters look childish or some shit. You either watch it or you don't.

"Unlike adr who frequently goes about trying to belittle people like me who quite clearly adore it and feel strongly attached to it."

That's literally what you're doing all the time tho

"Keyblade just perfectly exemplified that attitude by denying the word "poser" and its longstanding history in underground metal. It's not ironic because the word has always been rooted entirely in a facetious and ridiculous sub culture!!!!"

just because it has a history in metal doesn't mean it's still not a stupid and exclusionary word to use, and hasn't always been. there's a lot of unsavory shit that has a longstanding history in metal, that doesn't mean u should accept it because METUHL m/, the fuck

the irony is, is that ur basically the other side of the coin to the very ppl ur criticizing. u take it all way too seriously and swallow and accept everything at face value simply because it's 'metal'. others might be 'posers', but you're a sheep...or goat if u prefer idk i'll let u defer to wikipedia's metal section as per for that one

This thread proves that Ghoulgotha ultimately achieved their goal.

Such discussion, such controversy.

Such hate

Metal

m/

"but I don't need a crusty jacket with a bunch of band patches and shit to enjoy it."

You're right you don't need this or long hair or w/e else a typical metal head wears but the thing is, if you listen to the music you shouldn't make fun of the people that do.

On this website I've seen people say metal is immature, insult people with battle jackets and long hair and all metal heads are neckbeards that dwell in their parents basement. That shit ain't okay, just like society rejects our lifestyle and image, we will reject poserlords like adr, torts and nocturnalize.

Keyblade just perfectly exemplified that attitude by denying the word "poser" and its longstanding history in underground metal.

Lol that guy is the worst, still can't get the point 200 commnets later

"On this website I've seen people say metal is immature, insult people with battle jackets and long hair and all metal heads are neckbeards that dwell in their parents basement. That shit ain't okay, just like society rejects our lifestyle and image"

jfc

Mystle, you won't find me making fun of people for it. I don't choose to dress that way (although I do have a beard), nor could I really because of work, but doesn't matter to me how someone dresses.

Poser has it's purpose whether you like it or not


That's why you're cool Space

And I live in California I can't be snox too, it's not possible.

"On this website I've seen people say metal is immature, insult people with battle jackets and long hair and all metal heads are neckbeards that dwell in their parents basement. That shit ain't okay, just like society rejects our lifestyle and image"

Man I've been lurking sputnik since 2005 and maybe I don't pay enough attention (definitely don't), but I don't think I've ever seen that outright. Actually I always stuck with sput because it always seemed like an awesome metal friendly music community that took the genre as seriously as anything else...

Maybe I should shut up and go back into hiding

Pavera you're a welcome addition so far man/woman. I would agree that I haven't seen a ton of it, but I also haven't been around here very long myself.

Just ignore shitty people and continue along your metal merry way and all will be good

yea that's one of the biggest bullshits i have read in a while

Yeah I've been here since 2008 and I find this place has a healthy metal community.

honestly the metal bashing was strong a while ago, not so much now after the "perpetrator" vanished so it's back to usual business

yeah in the era of Sachiko and beeps

at least now I get to see Trascendence into the peripheral on the main page almost every day so it's cool :]

best album evar

"Man I've been lurking sputnik since 2005 and maybe I don't pay enough attention (definitely don't), but I don't think I've ever seen that outright.

Eh a while back I made a list about battle jackets/patch jackets since I'm working on one I wear to shows and like the look and was wondering if anyone else was into that. Started off with some decent discussion but got derailed to bullshit "lolvirgin jackets" and stupid bullshit like that. So yeah, it happens unfortunately

spread the love fellas m/

i concur that the 0:42 riff is too awks and funky but im pretty excited for this album regardless, rest of the track was sweet

glad to feel welcome to this metal friendly community. I'm a man btw

Noted Pav, figured you were but never know.

I thought that riff was bad ass

man just listened to the track. mmm I thought that riff at :42 was cool actually, though yeah it kinda seems funky and comes out of nowhere. Overall I liked the track...maybe enough to give the deathmass cloak another try. Better overall impression here than what I came away from that album with.

Also agreed that their album artwork is sick. Will check the release when it's out for sure

Lol good timez

"Keyblade just perfectly exemplified that attitude by denying the word "poser" and its longstanding history in underground metal."

...which was taken from punk culture

The word has become about as parodied as 'brutal' at this point.

I am your alt

Everyone in the metal community is your alt and you're just arguing with yourself

Everyone on sputnik is OvDeath with mass dissociation identity disorder

Psychologists everywhere are baffled

Mind blown, it all makes sense now tbh

fuckin' snoxall is such a celebrity here

Ghoulgotha is dope yall just scrubs.

I always lol when I see people calling each other posers

Yeah, like acting pretentious and being a dick to people on the internet is going to change anything

Dwelling on it and getting butthurt will change just as much

Move on people, nothing to see here

Album is going to rule

All the users on here who claim to like metal but distance themselves from the attitudes, image and ethos of metal are the biggest posers of all

You can't be a fan from a distance, boyos.


lol

You mean we should all dress up with long hair black leather jackets like its 1986 and have some pissed of tough guy attitude?

Your the stereotypical metal guy Snoxall, calling everyone posers, its like you came right out of the 80s.

Definitely.

Of course it's dumb. Pretending like you're the only sane one who somehow doesn't get it proves the poserness.

It's an unspoken reality that metal is ridiculous as fuck. That's the whole appeal.

It means you shouldn't pretend to like the music and then be like "haha but they look so dumb i mean are they really serious??? ? its ridiculous"

Well I must be the biggest poser then, because I think corpsepaint is fucking ridiculous, unless done right, theres nothing more cringy than a bunch of adults dressed up like clowns taking themselves seriously.

A small amount of paint around the eyes is ok, but full panda face like Immortal just looks completely stupid.

holy fuck, vetimus is almost speaking sense.

too bad he dug up a fucking backdoor enema of a thread, but oh well, baby steps.

He'd almost be speaking sense if he wasn't an idiot.

Nobody here even mentioned corpse paint until he came along.




You where ranting on about bands image, and corpsepaint is a big factor in that when it comes to metal.

Maybe you would understand why I brought it up if you were not an idiot.

And you would not have been ranting on about how image matters in metal when you look like you belong in a boy band!

holy fuck, vetimus is almost speaking sense.

too bad he dug up a fucking backdoor enema of a thread, but oh well, baby steps.


I can respond to any god damn fucking thing I want, if its a backdoor enema of a thread, it makes no damn difference.

Just rekt you both, now admit defeat.

what the fuck is this "pseudo-maturity" nonsense?

he's clearly matured since his early days on the site


Exactly. Poser.


Your the funniest guy in the world Snoxall seriously.

LOL!

can u stop reviving this abomination

You mean Snoxalls hilarious comments or this band?

did someones posts get deleted or did Vetimus actually write like 5 comments to reply to things in this thread

"Corpse paint is a tony fraction"

Is this the same Tony starting a supergroup with the bloke from QOTSA

riffs of truth

"did someones posts get deleted or did Vetimus actually write like 5 comments to reply to things in this thread"

second thing

Corpse paint is a tony fraction of half a sub-genre's history. There are two decades of metal history before corpse paint, which was frankly overused in the 90s (and was deliberately used in a facetious way by Immortal).

So fucking what? Its still used, and its still associated with black metal.

So your still a dumbass.

And I can call rekt because I just destroyed you.

I retract my previous statement in regards to vetimus.
have a good day.

I retract my previous statement in regards to vetimus.

repetition for EMPHASIS!

I retract my previous statement in regards to vetimus.

You should change your name to ihateeveryone

Because clearly you have an agro problem with everyone on this site.

rekt

Fucking obliterated m8.

Just like how I destroyed Hawks and Ovdeath.

%)

%)

Your saying wot m8?

no one has to destroy you vet because you do it yourself

no one has to destroy you vet because you do it yourself

No, only in your dreams Mystletainn.

I offer legitimate points to my arguments, everyone else just gets butthurt and rants about off topic BS.

I win everyone else loses.

I think your reality is different from everyone elses

So offering valid reasons mates me the new skele? Thanks bro.

Because from the small amount I have heard about skele you seem much cloer to him than me.

Coming in here calling everyone posers because they dont like some shitty ass band which you do.

Then ranting on about how image matters when you look the furthest from a metalhead yourself.

Not to mention the things you post are even more ridiculous than anything I ever say, and atleast im joking 99% of the time, I cant tell if you are or not.

Watch out.

Already got a bunch of homo porn to send you

and I know your facebook!

He's defintely short-circuiting

I just need ya address so next time I visit Australia we can fight this out face to face!

Better have your gang of Kangaroos to protect ya m8.
