i realize literally no one cares about vintersorg

excuse me?

 

[einride]

haha i was going to type "except marksveld" but then i did not

but yes, i acknowledge that you do, in fact, care

 

[Ellestin]

this song is a bit weird, I'm not sure I dig the Adams Familiy-type intro or the harpsichord parts. Missing a link between the Viking stuff and the Renaissance sounds...

 

[lurch70]

finally the Dordeduh slackers have the debut on the way

New dopethrone! How the flying hell did I not know about this?!

 

[Ellestin]

don't know what to make of bands who name themselves after albums of other bands. Snailking or Kauan also come to mind. Could be coincidental but the music betrays that in either case.

 

[Tranquillian]

The last Candlemass album kind of came and went. Don't think I've heard it more than 3 times so far.

especially albums that are less than 10 years old

 

[neal]

ok electric wizard is obviously named for 2 sabbath songs, but its a combo name, and those songs were about 25 years old when ew started, so i dont really find that as weird.

 

[Krilons Resa]

agreed.

 

[neal]

taking your name from a lyric/poem/quote is a little more cryptic as well, id give that a pass

it's the straight title-for-title that feels less like homage and more like lazy as shit

stopped caring about candlemass after "from the 13th sun", nothing i have sampled from the reunion or post-reunion albums has yet convinced me that was the wrong decision

and they all have awful, AWFUL mix/mastering jobs that make them a chore to listen to

a fun game to play is "list bands that named themselves after a darkthrone thing"

superjoint ritual
thulcandra
pagan winter
sin origin
voidhanger

im sure i could find ten more bad german and brazilian bands if i tried, these are off the top of my head

 

[einride]

astral sleep from finland gets a pass for stealin a tiamat title, just because frankly: more people need to steal from tiamat already

 

[Ellestin]

a fun game to play is "list bands that named themselves after a darkthrone thing"

metal archives lists four bands named Funeral Moon

and also four bands named Funeral Fog for good measure

 

[Hell Mike]

92.6% of all bands name themselves after other bands' stuff

 

[einride]

thats patently false

 

[einride]

although the forever season is named after a line from acid bath

 

[neal]

i already knew that, cause im awesome


or cause ive listened to when the kite string pops approximately one million times
