AMORTH - one of my favoUrite drummers

[JayKeeley]

You might not know him by name, but you know his music. He drums for both Drudkh and Astrofaes.

It's also listed that he drums for THUNDERKRAFT (Folk/Industrial/deathcore), which sounds fucken terrible by that genre description, and also UNDERDARK (black metal).

Has anyone heard any UNDERDARK? They have a full length that was released this year.

 

[JayKeeley]

ok well not that there's any rush. The only Astrofaes I have is Ancestor's Shadows and Those whose Past is Immortal, and I've barely listened to the latter. I need to spend more time with Astrofaes.

the only astrofaes that did anything for me was Ancestors Shadow, i think it was called. never really took notice of the drumming in either band.

the most disturbing thing in this thread is the use of a "U" in "favorite"

 

[JayKeeley]

For me, if it wasn't for the drumming in Blood in our Wells or especially Autumn Aurora, the albums wouldn't have the same impact.

In fact, AA has some of the best drum tracks ever IMO. The riffs stay the same, but the drum patterns are constantly changing to create all those undulations within the song.

Re: Astrofaes, when I listen to tracks like "Thunder I shall Bring" or "The Last Dawn", again it's the drumming that really seals the deal.

I think some of his drumming in Astrofaes is really awesome, moreso than Drudke mostly (although I really do like the drums on AA). Hes one of my favourite Black/pagan/whateverheathen genre drummers. Negru still being my favourite. Heritage and Ancestors Shadows in particular stand out in my mind.

For a while, I thought the drumming on AA might have been a drum machine.

Grey. So you spelled 1 out 4 correct.

"Realise" = real-ice

it's real-eyes, realize.

damn euro trash and your "U"

 

[dill_the_devil]

Fair enough, you' got me on realize - but seriously, the language is called 'English'. I'm English. If you don't like our 'u', make up your owned damned language instead of bastardising ours.

we have ebonics, brutha

Word, nikkuh

 

[Demilich]

this language bickering is kinda stupid. 'proper english' was originally just as much a bastardization of other languages... such is life! whine, whine, whine.

 

[dill_the_devil]

LOL - trust me Demilich, I don't think anyone's really taking it seriously... pretty much every language ever bastardises, borrows from or originates from others in some way.

 

[Demilich]

haha, i think i came off sounding too serious or offended or something. as usual, what pisses me off is people who DO take it seriously... you guys just brought it to my mind.

 

[Demilich]

i agree with Erik
