Dark Lunacy - The Diarist

[dishcloth]

Has anyone heard this yet, I've only heard one track "Snowdrifts" which is awesome. Looks like I'm going to have to order this one off the net, hard to find in Aussieland. Can't believe that no one in this forum has seemed to of heard of this band...

 

[Turion]

Ya this band is awesome, I think they didn't beat Forget Me Not though, their previous album. But it was so FUCKING good, they couldn't do it

 

[dishcloth]

Awesome. Finally someone agrees! I also love Devoid, but yeah Forget Me Not is outstanding. Definately one of my favourite bands!

 

[spigot]

I'm gonna need some confirmation on this before I check it out.

 

[Turion]

What kind of confirmation ? :O It's humm a sort of black-thrash symphonic metal

 

[Deadlift]

Pretty good band. Absolutley above average.

I'm gonna need some confirmation on this before I check it out.

Hell, why not just take a risk and check some of their stuff out, can't go wrong...

[illidurit]

great more melodeath, just what the world needs

 

[Powers]

Just say melodeath we'll all understand.

I take it your being sarcastic...thanks for the great contribution to the thread. Shit replies, just what the world needs...

Oh and I got the album and its excellent. One of the best albums I've heard all year.

 

[Prognostic]

in flames will probably always remain the best melodeath act

 

[NFU]

makes you want to just bust out the old lego sets from when you were 5 doesnt it?

absolute garbage.

 

[dishcloth]

Hey if KSE and 3 minute escort girl blow jobs are your thing, who am I to argue

 

[NFU]

true enough.

but again, like ive said before....KSE arent pretending to be some pseudo-intellectual band with growls, but "symphonic" passages or whatever other pretentious nonsense bands like this Dark Lunacy have. They do one thing very well, and stick with it. Ive yet to hear one thing Dark Lunacy here do uniquely or even that well...for that matter. The verses sound like b-side at the gates reject riffs. The choruses are barely even that, and have nothing memorable about them...ive already forgotten how the song goes. the backing strings make it sound like a video game. and the growler is absolutely boring, generic and awful. what else...

 

[dishcloth]

KSE do their thing well, as good as any other band that goes for that sound does, but I really can't stand their thing. It just seems so cliche. I dunno, you could probably say the same thing bout Dark Lunacy, uninteresting, crappy or what not, which is totally fair enough, you like what you like, I like what I like. I feel that I only need to ever heard one KSE song, otherwise its simply deja vu, I don't feel that way with Dark Lunacy. But hey, each to their own.

 

[illidurit]

lmao the difference is, with dark lunacy, you get deja vu from in flames and at the gates

 

[dishcloth]

Yeah totally because In Flames have a string quartet....

 

[illidurit]

lol I listened to a song on their myspace and the riff sounded exactly like every in flames riff, stfu

 

[BurningSky]

They don't really remind me of in flames as much as dark tranquillity. I agree that its not memorable stuff, but these NFU/illidurit gang bangs on threads are getting a bit old. Because NFU has too much pride to follow someone else, even if that meant he'd be following someone for his own wellbeing, i'm gonna say it's illidurit dangling from NFU's sack.
