Albums currently kicking your ass

[Draehl]

Nothing Wrong with The Sword's early stuff. Age of Winters in particular is fucking awesome. The past 2 albums were trash though...

Amen! I still play the first two albums often.

 

[Slayed Necros]

This Sword is better.

I've heard the exact opposite of The Sword and that Warp Riders is a far better album than whatever they were doing on their first two?

The first 3 are all great. It's Apocryphon & High Country that are meh.

 

[Draehl]

Terronaut. Never heard of 'em before. A post-rock/metal band that isn't boring!

Age of Winters > Warp Riders > Gods of the Earth. Don't even bother with the other two imo (but Apocryphon > High Country if you do)

Fuuuck. The power and narrative of the drums and the atmosphere created by the guitars. Seriously listen to this. So good! Track 2 especially...



RAVENTALE - DARK SUBSTANCE OF DHARMA

Damn. Just listened to Track 2 like you said and it's awesome. If the rest is as good it'll be a great album.

These classics:

 

[End of Glory]

Still kicks ass as much as it did the first time I heard it.

Love love this album. Saw these guys live a few years back and they opened with the first track - awesome show.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yep. Same. They played before Primordial in Chicago. Both were killer acts live. Singing along to Vessel with Rain handing the mic to me was a great moment. So was watching Alan of Primordial stage dive and having to touch his disgusting sweat-soaked body.

Thanks to Uneasy Conscience for posting this:

Havukruunu - Havulinnaan
A really solid slab of black metal

Niice. I saw them in some small venue in Raleigh, NC. I think they were the opening act - I can't even remember who played with them (shitty memory sometimes). Didn't get to sing along to the mic (thank god for the audience lol) but did get some serious metal horns haha.

The Sword are definitely not better than Pilgrim.
And Warp Riders was so boring I literally gave it away to someone.

Overall I'd say the vocals are their weakest element, they need a real Heavy Metal vocalist that has, you know, some balls.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... so you gave away your copy of their best album?

Well, the vinyl version I had yeah. I kept the CD because it's not so bad. I still overwhelmingly prefer the first two.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, part me likes that song because it's just fucking open note chugs and power chords out the ass, and then part of me wants to beat the fuck out of them and show them Witchfinder General for reasons I am not sure I know why.

 

[The Butt]

Gatekrashör - Gatekrashör

Just discovering this now. Enforce metal law.

Fuck yeah man!

Dug out some old stuff from my moving boxes, this one is a total gem.
Highly recommended to anybody into Progressive Rock/Acid Rock/proto-Doom.
