Albums currently kicking your ass

[crimsonfloyd]

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?

If and when I manage to stay awake through an entire Saint Vitus album, I'll let you know.

What about the rest of the bands I mentioned dickface?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

I found Trouble to be mostly a snoozefest, Candlemass I like, and Pentagram, I know I've heard but I can't remeber what they sound like.

 

[CiG]

Fair enough, we can't all like everything.
I just think your characterization of traditional doom metal is rather unfair if you're not being hyperbolic. If anything hey remember Black Sabbath is something stoner doom is much more guilty of.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

That's probably true. I'm mostly swinging a low blow at a genre I don't like.

 

[CiG]

I always placed you above HBB and his perpetual low-blows against black metal, which I'm sure has nothing to do with his innate desire to low-blow a black man or something.

Usually I don't like it when vidya tries making metal music because they habit of doing the exact same couple songs over and over, but this soundtrack does it pretty well. A good example of actual metal riffs in contrast to down-tuned Sisters of Mercy riffs with acoustic parts and keyboards interspersed found in 90s doom/death.

All I can of think when I see that Alien album is this....

 

[Krow]

If you told me this was King Diamond on the microphone, I would have believed you. Absolute superb imposter. Then again, I suppose if you go around calling yourself Meister Cagliostro, you pretty much have to back it up or just come off as a giant asshole.

Just when I was starting to like you, you go and say shit like this...

Why? You don't like Candlemass?

It's entirely unsurprising that you don't even know the difference between death doom metal and gothic metal. I suppose it's understandable in light of the fact that many of the progenitors of death/doom drifted away from the genre later on. Even so, you are a user of rateyourmusic.com, where you can look at each and every album to see what genre(s) it's considered to fall under, so there's really no excuse.

However will he recover?

Gojira - Magma

I found a new appreciation for this band after seeing a live performance and I am finding myself going back to this album often in the last several months. I really need to get the rest of the back catalog. I only have L'Enfant Sauvage and From Mars to Sirius.
