Found this thread at random on the gamespot.com forums. Really nice to be used in such context.

Pantera is the only metal I really listen to. I respect the talent and skill it takes to play metal, but I find the "artistic merit" (if that's what you want to call it) to be nonexistant and painful to listen to.

Metal is actually home to quite a few "artistic" bands, however they are usually pretty obscure.

Some random examples of metal bands that (imho) have plenty of artistic merit:

Agalloch

Be'lakor

Daylight Dies

Slumber

Neurosis/Isis/Pelican/Tides (if you want to count post-metal)

Scale The Summit

Swallow the Sun

Wolves In The Throne Room

Clad in Darkness

Orphaned Land

Alcest/Amesoeurs

Sepia Dreamer

To name a few...

That's what people are saying after hearing the EP, imagine what will happen when Nepenthe, Undulations, Deluge, Forestall, and another are properly recorded

 

[JohnInDarkness]

It's pretty awesome to be included in a list such as that. I agree about the album. I've always had the feeling that after it is recorded properly, it's seriously going to make waves. I'm not saying this because I am in the band or anything, but purely as a music-listener. I can't wait to hear it.

 

[circus_brimstone]

It's sure taking long enough!

 

[JohnInDarkness]

All good things come to those yeah you're right.

 

[circus_brimstone]

I can wait.

 

[August Gales]

If we thought we went broke recording the EP, I can't even imagine what is going to happen to the wallets trying to tackle a full length......

 

[Seanindarkness]

it's comforting to now that your fanbase now includes gamers.
I can just imagine the CID full length lying amidst the special edition version of Oblivion and crumpled up tissues

 

[opeth_353]

ahaha.. Sounds like my bedroom!

Yeah.. record the album you fucks.

 

[opeth_353]

..And yeah.. That's pretty awesome that someone included you on a list that includes Neurosis, Neige's bands and WITTR..

 

[Seanindarkness]

I usually mention them in a list that would include:

Static X

Limp Bizcut

Trivium

 

[JohnInDarkness]

Don't forget our major influence Papa Roach.

 

[Seanindarkness]

Oh I forgot, the very reason you started playing music in the firstplace

 

[opeth_353]

..Wait a minute... PAPA ROACH AREN'T YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE.

Venerated was

 

[Seanindarkness]

True, but then again who hasn't been influenced by Venerated.
even Papa Roch has

 

[opeth_353]

..musically.. no

..Lyrically.. yes.

 

[Seanindarkness]

you can blame Venerated for the whole Nu Metal Craze
and blame Amaurosis for the whole Metalcore craze

 

[MichellesGhost]

I'll pee me panties when its done

 

[August Gales]

Well that certainly does sound like a lucrative offer.

 

[Seanindarkness]

Once Metalcore ends, the way will be paved for my genre, GARTHAXCORE! More whiney and bitchy then Nu Metal and Metalcore Combined!
