Wode Servants of the Countercosmos

 

[The Ozzman]

An album I go back to consistently because it always sounds fresh. Joe Satriani is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

I'm surprised how high this one is ranking on my list. But I can't deny listening to it front to back that every song is stellar.

90s doom death> traditional doom "hey remember Black Sabbath?"

 

[CiG]

90s doom death = "Hey remember Black Sabbath? Wonder what happens when I also remember to growl instead of sing."

I love that Tiamat album though.

"hey remember Black Sabbath?" >>>>>>> "hey i forget, what's a 'riff' again?"

I don't see how you could describe Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Tiamat, Katatonia etc. as Black Sabbath with growling.

 

[CiG]

I don't see how you could describe traditional doom metal as remember Black Sabbath. I figured we were both being hyperbolic, do you actually think Saint Vitus, Trouble, Candlemass, Pentagram etc are mere Black Sabbath clones?

Riffs

Masterpiece, everything that followed is such a massive letdown by comparison.

"hey remember Black Sabbath?" >>>>>>> "hey i forget, what's a 'riff' again?"

Well, you weren't around back in the early 90's, or were still in preschool at the very most. Those death-doom bands weren't able to consult you as the sole arbitrator of what is or isn't worthy of being considered a riff. They just had to make do with conventional logic, which is how they, along with their listeners, mistook so many of the guitar parts they wrote for riffs.
