Albums currently kicking your ass

[ProphetofHatred]

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.

"Heavy metal pop". You sound like a moron. Even if that was a valid label, are you automatically biased against anything referred to as pop?

Ok blackened heavy metal pop. And I said I liked the first album, so kindly shut the fuck up.

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.

Their sound is rawer, more rough etc.
That makes them heavier to me.

Ghost is fucking stupid.

That band needs to go away.

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

That was me. I saw so much fellatio for the band and hear one of their EPs and didn't quite get it at the time. Things changed when everyone I know that was cool was saying I'd love it and shit and then I listened to it. I did love it.

I fucking love every second of this band. I also love driving around to this album and trying to sing along.

Everything Will (from The Wizar'd) does rules, if you're into old Mercyful Fate you should check out his other band Dracula.

Dunno about Yoda but I'd say their first two albums are on par, though I am very partial to this album myself.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Their most recent endeavor is kinda eh but the one after this album was solid.

 

[CiG]

Yeah their newest is lackluster as fuck.

Count Raven are one of those doom bands that I never got the appeal.

How have I not listened to this before? What the fuck is wrong with me.

Wow, was not expecting that from you.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

It's been a long ass time since I listened to them. Perhaps I should revisit them.

 

[CiG]

I fucking love them, one of my favourites.

I wish the dudes from Legend would give permission for a damn reissue, that masterpiece needs to be out there officially.

ever heard heavy load's debut? that's another eccentric late '70s thing, nothing like their other records.
