EMPYRIUM =

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Autumn : Fates Warning - APSOG, MDB - Turn Loose The Swans

[Black Winter Day]

There's autumn and winter in Greece??

 

[IOfTheStorm]

right now it is soo cloudy outside.

 

[lizard]

You really do have huge signatures, and this one has been up for 2 days now, which I think is some sort of record.

The biggest I have seen was in the maudlin of the Well forum, during that Opeth v. motW war one dude (or chick, who knows) had about a hundred images of random items that were "> than Opeth." That was funny.

was that Greg B/kleo706? he had the hugest sig with screen captures and such...maybe his crowning achievement was going onto the neil turbin board and posting to 30-40 straight threads with nonsensical comments...

 

[Black Winter Day]

Dude, me and RIP50 did the Neil Turbin board thing like... 2.5 years ago. It was funny. Until Mr. Turbin kicked us out, that is...

 

[spaffe]

i don't really have so clear seasonal distinctions within music expect perhaps for (early)darkthrone which really works infinitely better when temperature drops below zero.

nicomediX: not having heard empyrium indeed makes you an outcast, and a dested one to boot. steal, rape or pillage if cash is the problem; the end will justify the means

 

[JayKeeley]

When it's really icy cold, I like to blast some "Nightside Eclipse". Otherwise, I think I favour the Autumn soundscape.

Look people, regarding Empyrium, what does it take? Why are you spending money on other stuff before Empyrium - it makes no sense. If you like 'Autumnal' music such as early Ulver, Primordial, Drudkh, Agalloch, early Opeth, early Anathema, etc etc ad nauseum then how in goat heaven's name can you not own the entire Empyrium catalog? At minimum, hunt down Songs of Moors... and put away every other CD for a week until it has consumed your very being. None of this 'I listened to it once in the background' either - I'm talking full on headphones experience. 10/10 BUY OR DIE.

 

[JayKeeley]

By the way, another good Autumn CD -- Arcane Sun s/t.

 

[JayKeeley]

ITT, blast from the past: I recommend Skepticism to Dick Winter Day.

For me, if Farmakon was an image, it would be a silhouette of 5-6 bare trees on a hilltop. No snow, just grey sky and desolation.

How poignant.

Anyway, we don't exactly have an "official" SUMMONING thread so this is as good as any to say:

It's official! It's their best album yet.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Autumn - Type O Negative, Danzig, the Misfits, Samhain, old King Crimson

Winter - black metal, "cold" sounding melodic death, etc.

Holy crap, I forgot about the MYSTERIOUS GRAY FONTS that plagued us for about a week...

 

[MajestikMøøse]

o rly?

Man, a year and a half ago I didn't know Empyrium. Damn I used to be lame.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I can't believe I've been posting at RC for almost 3 years. That's it, I quit. I'm leaving for good this time...

 

[NAD]

Holy crap, I forgot about the MYSTERIOUS GRAY FONTS that plagued us for about a week...

What a great reason to bump a year and a half old thread, concerning Autumn, during March.
