Naglfar new album "Cerecloth" announced for May 8th.

The new ...and Oceans album is also one to look forward to judging by the new track they released, sounded amazing!

 

[Dane0670]

I can't wait for Katatonia, Necrophobic, Blackfield, Eucharist, and My Dying Bride.

 

[MadTinus]

I'm also curious about the White Stones (Martin Mendez's new 'death metal' project) album, pretty interesting sound.

 

[arg]

New Nightwish and new Amaranthe!

 

[Lifemocker]

Western thots on vocals hard pass

 

[MadTinus]

So far, the tracks released by ...and Oceans, Green Carnation and Dool have delivered convincingly.

The God Dethroned album is also good, the new Naglfar track is pretty good. The mix and overal delivery could have been more convincing.

Positive surprise has been Soliloquium, The Discarded is a very strong and convincing track, my sincere compliments.

Talking bout Katatonia, recently tried to get into them again but just cant. Music is great, but vocals are so out of place it hurts to hear.

 

[DarkGift]

I've heard others say that, I don't agree at all, haha. Most of those saying it are people saying "metal should have powerful vocals" etc. Is that what bothers you too?

 

[Lifemocker]

Im not sure if it's about power. Akerfeldt doesnt exactly has powerful clean vocals and yet they mixed well with the music.
I probably have an issue with his tone of voice. somehow, but I can't explain it. But I'm pretty sure this would be a killer band with quality growls.

 

[DarkGift]

Haha, oh well. Have you listened to all their albums? They've done pretty different styles during the years, so maybe you'd like on better than another.

 

[Lifemocker]

I think most "recent" album Ive heard was from 2003 or 2005. I always listen from the 1st album up, but might make an exception for this one

 

[DarkGift]

I'd definitely give Night is the New Day or Dead End Kings a try if you haven't heard them!

 

[Lifemocker]

Again (after Dead End Kings), amazing instrumentals. But now I think I know why I don't like the vocals.
No matter what happens with the music the vocals are still monotonous. He sings exactly the same over some powerful riffs and acoustic parts.

The same reason I don't really listen to black metal or shitty death metal bands with mediocre growlers. It's just boring to listen to the same shriek / growl over and over again.

 

[DarkGift]

Aight, fair enough! Personally, I love Jonas vocals, even back on the older albums when he honestly wasn't a very good vocalist. He's just got so much feeling, and writes some really great lyrics to go with it as well.
