Albums currently kicking your ass

[Master_Yoda77]

It definitely does. No idea why I didn't put them down there.

 

[CiG]

I don't disagree with your comparisons though, I'd also throw Wishbone Ash in there.
That logo needs to become a bloody patch though.

It's funny that it doesn't remind you of Uriah Heep considering Will formed the band essentially as a Uriah Heep worship project.

Album cover even looks like The Magician's Birthday cover.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Just watched Conan the Barbarian again. Got me in the mood.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Vordven. Some premium non-Summoning Tolkien black metal.

Reverend fucking Bizarre!

Great 70s Heavy Rock shit here. Reminds me of Hawkwind, Ashbury, and Thin Lizzy.

i thought it was you who said you didn't understand the hype for this but i guess not. it's rly good!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I feel like this shit is underrated. I have a fucking tape of this and it still sounds fresh to this day, somehow. Good stuff. Fowley is kinda the man.

I'll probably get hate from the metal elitists here by Tarot sounds very similar to Ghost in my opinion. Not a bad thing to me, I just listened to it and I enjoyed it.

I havent thrown on Deceased on a long time. Luck of the Corpse is definitely a great death metal album. Such good riffs.

Tarot sound like Ghost? Nah I don't hear it, kinda douchey to imply that if we disagree with you we're elitists though.

Nah I was implying that most people on this board who don't like Ghost come across as metal elitists to me. Idk if you can't hear the similarity between the two songs I posted I think there's something wrong with you. Both bands are going for a proto-metal style, although Ghost is clearly heavier (and better but that's just my opinion)

I think Tarot are heavier, Ghost are too sterile for my taste, they go for a 70's sound but completely fail in my opinion.
Their first record was okay, second is trash, third might be cool, but they sound like that one throwback band for people that don't even really listen to anything from the era they're throwing back to, because if they did they'd see straight through that stiff ass fucking production and total lack of warmth that is such an integral part of why the sounds of the 70's ruled.

I take Tarot any day, call me what you want.

Ghost started out as a gimmick, and im not even sure they were trying to be entirely a 70s throwback. Their goal seemed more to be heavy metal pop, but played with satirical undertones. The first album worked, the second one sucked, and who knows about the third.

How the fuck is Tarot heavier? I listen to quite a bit of stuff from the 70's, Hawkwind, Dust, Uriah Heep, Lucifer's Friend, Leaf Hound, etc, and I still like Ghost. I don't think they're trying to copy the 70's sound, they want to be their own thing but to be a homage to that era.
