Black Metal.

[Master_Yoda77]

I doubt I'll ever listen to it. I haven't liked anything by them since SMRC.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's a little more like SMRC.

I'm really enjoying it on my first listen so far.

 

[Vossyrus]

I really like Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice. At times I think this album is quite menacing, a quality that I rarely find in black metal, or any kind of music. And even at such a lengthy album, I do not feel it is a monotonous listen. Rather I see it as one of those albums that presents itself as a "journey" from start to finish. The production is great too, a bit on the filthy side and well suited for the style of the music.

On the other hand, I thought Fas had some great moments but ultimately, I feel disappointed when the album ends. The production is a bit too clinical for them and the drums are too high in the mix that they're annoying. And yes, the album doesn't have much melody, instead it's very technical and comes off as being too chaotic and meandering for me personally. I suppose I find this album on the monotonous side but maybe I didn't give this album much of a chance when it came out. After all I do like Abigor's recent album, and that's a very odd, technical one too.

However, I think once I give the new album another go, I'm confident that I will enjoy it.

Only heard a few tracks from Paracletus, but I like what I hear so far. Sounds kinda like the last album but with more elements of Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice.

 

[Zephyrus]

It's more tame than Fas, and more accessible. That worries me a bit.

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

Well I like it...

 

[Cythraul]

I'll be adding the new DSO to my list of albums that I will ignore.

 

[Eligos]

Your loss.

 

[Cythraul]

not really

 

[Bitencourt29]

If it really sounds like the last one with elements of SMRC, it should be damn good. Haven't listened to any of the new tracks though, I'll certainly give it a shot.

 

[Lateralus14]

I've listened to it 10 or so times and it's not better than SMRC or Fas but it still rules and will make my top 3 of the year pretty easily.

 

[Vossyrus]

I listened to Paracletus again, and I've decided that upon further listen I really do like it, my initial feelings of disappointment have subsided. I think it's much better than Fas. I think it sits somewhere in between the previous two albums in terms of sound.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

HHR has the newest Diocletian album in finally. Going to be making a huge ass order once the new Inquisition album comes out this month.

 

[gundamterran]

It's more tame than Fas, and more accessible. That worries me a bit.

It's definately a tad more tame, a la SMRC, but it is in no way more accessible....

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

not really

Yes really.

 

[Einherjar86]

New Draugnim. Doesn't seem as good as Northwind's Ire. The song "Weeper's Way" was really boring, just sludging monotony. This tune is pretty epic though:

[Hubster]

Hate to say it, but that song just sounded like boring, sludging monotony.

 

[Einherjar86]

You'd loathe the other one I listened to then.

 

[Eligos]

Aw... I really like Northwind's Ire.
