I'm only gay for Schmidt ;3
Vattnet Viskar - Sky Swallower
Post black metal with doom vignettes. Sounds like a typical genre mash, but the completeness of all the elements sets this band apart. The post rock sounds like Caspian, the black metal like Ash Borer or Imperium Dekadenz (well-produced), and the doom like Eagle Twin or Conan. It's immense, impressive, and just altogether an enjoyable listen.
Oh shit they are from Denver! Ha what a small community! I just discovered them on bandcamp and immediately bought that album. I'll have to check Royal Talons and WHILT out, especially if it's anything like ItCoS. Incredible band sounds like they would be awesome live too.
I might be applying to UC-Boulder for a Ph.D program. We can buttfuck each other on a weekly basis if I get accepted and decide to go there.
I heard no resemblance to any of the bands you mentioned.
How many tracks did you listen to?
There seems to be a lot of dissonance amongst the Holy Trinity here lately man
If it makes you guys feel better, I think 90% of the stuff you guys like is shitty.
Oh yeah, totally massive. They are a wall of sound, that pair.
Start here for Royal Talons:
