so i took a listen to pallbearer, and lol, it sounds so much like warning/40 watt sun

yeah, but everyone says it's like Warning/40 Watt Sun, but not gay; therefore, it's so much better!

 

[swizzlenuts]

Anyone digging the new Dodsengel?

i can kind of agree but i don't know that its #1 EVER HYPE MACHINE WOOT

I like Pallbearer but it belongs nowhere on any Top 10 lists.

Because I control the cosmos, and have so decided.

I had a feeling it was going to be my album of the year around the third time I listened to it. Chuffed I got our Ryan into them as well with my endless Twitter proselytising.

well it is progressive, definitely

i don't know how to describe it, it's almost like if opeth was good, with a symphonic black metal edge

i know, that's not an exciting description, but give it a chance



this song especially is just pure genuine genius, this is the real deal right here

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'll check that song out later. I listened to some song last night on jewtube and wasn't very fond of it at all. The Dorian will definitely enjoy it though.

That makes me go but I'm listening anyhow.

This is quite good. Wow good even. And oddly enough yeah, good Opeth meets symphonic black, yet not shitty like that should sound. WTF?

 

[dill_the_devil]

I fucking love that album - hence its No. 1 spot on my list.

 

[Krilons Resa]

LOL...that video that Erik posted is the song I actually listened to. I'm not a fan. I think the violin throws me off. It sounds so "hokey" to me.
