Greetings all, We've recently launched our My Space page (http://www.myspace.com/maerimbrium) with a few samples of our songs. We're still looking for a drummer and bassist in the Southern California area who's into Progressive Death/Doom Metal in the style of Opeth or Daylight Dies. Any...

Feel free to check out our newly created My Space page (http://www.myspace.com/maerimbrium) for our band Maer Imbrium. We're still looking for a bass player and drummer as of now, but we have a few songs for your listening pleasure. Any comments or insights are appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Yes sir, that ending vocal line to Moonlapse is one of the best in their entire disco, I believe. Always listen to that twice per run through of the song. Great lower vocal harmonies there.

Being that Moonlapse Vertigo is my favorite Opeth song, and the one that introduced me to their style, I'd have to go with this one as I never see it mentioned. "Across the leafy pathways, their deeds smeared in blood!"

Diminished is all minor 3rds, what you have there is a tritone. E (root) Bb (b 5th) E (root octave higher).

I always noticed the acoustic bit in The Baying of the Hounds right before the ending heaviness sounded A LOT like the music for Tristram in the original Diablo. Seriously give that a listen and you'll hear it. Tristram had great music, such a sad atmosphere, maybe because no one ever moved...

I'll risk it, a track currently being recorded: Through the woods I used to stroll There lived a girl I yearned to know Her ocean eyes I’d eternally sail And to be her knight I’d never fail I beheld her all; her shimmering dazes me Upon the threshold of my hopeless reverie...

There are always exceptions to the rule, as in Coil. To me, the steady guitar part keeps the pulse while the bass is adding harmonic flavor. On the other hand, there's a part like the first clean breakdown in the Baying of the Hounds where the bass is really keeping a hard and fast pulse...

I really like the groove in Hex Omega on the first two distorted riffs. They kind of float and hang in the air for a second and then drop back. Maybe groove isn't the right word but they have a distinct rhythmic feel that I really dig.

They may be considered rhythm instruments, but strictly speaking they can create melody and thus should not be confined to that one category. A rhythm instument is a musical instrument that keeps the beat, which the bass can not always be said to do, though it generally helps to reinforce the beat.

I always think of the bass as part of the rhythm section, though not a percussion or rhythm instrument per se. Usually the bass and drums keep the rhythm going, playing more in the pocket, though that's not to say bass players and bass lines can't stray from that standard from time to time.

Don't tell me that, there has to be people with their progressive stick so far up their ass as to actually believe that bs. :mad: Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now... Hoochie mama!

Wow, that review made me sick. If being into progressive music means you have to come off as a pretentious ass hole who uses Nickelback as a reference point for just about everything, then count me out. That review sounded like Nickelback lyrics being written by a former member of...

Going to give Morbid Angel a good chunk of listening time (okay after I can play Watershed entirely in my head). I've always been interested in which bands influenced those riffs. The Master's Apprentices one took me awhile to wrap my head around and now I love it, sounds like a snake tamer...
