Akercocke - Words that go unspoken Deeds that go undone

I love them, I think you knew that already, haha. Seriously though, they're an amazing band with limitless possiblities. Huge step for metal imo.
 
I have to admit that I've only listened to Akercocke rather sparingly. However what I have heard I've enjoyed quite a lot. They're one of those bands thats on a list in my head of "bands I need to sit down and really listen to more". There's certain bands whom I find I cannot just throw on any ol' time. I come across bands like Akercocke and after a couple of listens I realise, "Okay, I need to put this aside and wait until I can really take the time to absorb this properly." Know what I mean?

I'd love to tour with this band, actually. I think that'd be an interesting combo.
 
I know what you mean. Although, they are extremely complex in every term, but i actually find them very easy to listen to. And it is good because most deathmetal bores the shit out of me because of the lack of variety, akercocke has very little boundaries within themselves i feel. And they come out with some really thunderous riffs like one particular one in a song called 'The Penance'. Once i heard that i just bought the album instantly. Just for that riff. Silly, eh?
 
The Penance is a great example. I love 'Words...'. That song is a perfect example of how versatile this band is. Intractable is also shows some great musicianship. Eh, who am I kidding, this album shows great musicianship.
 
Really great album, the only thing that bothers me is all the cheesy evil laughing....I mean come on...
