I don't think I was impressed. Didn't even realize I saw them.

ITT it takes lurch 5 minutes of shallow TV hype to get interested in good music.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Holy Fuck, that interview was painful.


With that being said, Cobalt

McSorley's haircut fascinated me ... it reminded me of prison era Varg ... hence my sudden interest in Cobalt

Sounds like a pretty average guy, doesn't he?

I thought the video was one of those dub over videos because of the headbanging at the beginning.

Altar of Plagues - Tides

A regression from White Tomb, more raw and primitive. More akin to the "Sol" EP, which is actually excellent if I hadn't mentioned that earlier in the thread.

 

[swizzlenuts]

So this isn't as good?

 

[Vittra]

The first track is so-so. I really like the second track though. (~15 and ~19 min respectively). Going through my second listen now..

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I'm diggin it so far

Pinto really put a sour taste in my mouth about AOP with that video on FB.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Which video is this?

Currently giving White Tomb another go. I was never that impressed with these lads, as I was Cobalt Almighty.

Hmmm well, they look like a bunch of hipsters, but the music's pretty rad. I dig the video.

I apologize for nothing! That video rules despite the hipster vibe.

You may actually enjoy "Sol" more, give that one a shot at some point.

I kind of got burned out on this style of newer black metal except for White Tomb. Spinning this now.
