Dark Symphonies have set the new benchmark

[JayKeeley]

All CD's are $8 now (including shipping).

So what's Rivendell's "Farewell the Last Dawn" like?

The two samples sounded good -- sort of like a folk version of Falkenbach.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

$8 permanently?

uh oh

 

[Nate The Great]

Now if they'd just stock something I want.

 

[JayKeeley]

That sample sounds pretty fucken cool: http://www.nailboard.org/mp3/loits_veri.mp3

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Didn't you just buy their other album?

 

[JayKeeley]

Nah not yet. I can't decide!! I mean, how can I turn down some folk death metal with a grizzly bear front cover..

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

As I suspected, you only like TALKING about buying albums!

Well if you buy Loits, get that one since I just got the other one.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, I just can't deal with any more above average 7/10 type albums on my shelf. A penny saved is a penny earned!

Hey this Cryptic Wintermoon sounds cool too.

Kinda like Moonsorrow.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I've heard good & bad things about Cryptic Wintermoon, but I'd like to check them out on the hopes that the "good" outweigh the "bad." ha ha

You should get that Hellsaw album. They fucking slay.

Metal Observer went ga ga over them in both feature and reviews. Listen to the sample: http://www.cryptic-wintermoon.com/musicportals.mp3

That is SO Moonsorrow! There's a nice gallop leading into the battle march...fans of Sunchariot and Pagan Reign etc will appreciate this stuff.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I wouldn't trust that Alex guy from Metal Observer as far as I could throw him; he goes ga-ga over EVERYTHING, just fair warning. Vampire Magazine describes them as "very similar" to latter-day Dimmu Borgir, and Metal-Archives says their earlier stuff is very mid-90s melodic death metal. While Black Metal UK says they're fairly "thrashy black metal that uses keyboards to create epic-ness." lol, 3 different takes, so that (doesn't) help at all.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

my buddy bought that CD. I'll get him to burn me a copy and give you a fair review.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Nah not yet. I can't decide!! I mean, how can I turn down some folk death metal with a grizzly bear front cover..

Hey now, that's actually a good album.

 

[Krilons Resa]

[Krigloch the Furious]

all Rivendell is good, Cryptic Wintermoon on the other hand is kinda boring.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

That sample sounds pretty fucken cool: http://www.nailboard.org/mp3/loits_veri.mp3

cool album

 

[J.]

loits bored me really. get obtest and yeah, Rivendell is a folk version of falkenbach. the new is pretty good though it's nothing extraordinary, but for $8, its worth it.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Holy Shit! these guys rule! I'm perusing the shit they have and some samples. The price is right, so why not a few blind purchases and whatnot?

The 3 samples there kickass!! Im impressed.

Anyone heard of THARAPHITA from Estonia? Im dl the sample for them too.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Haven't heard Tharaphita, but I think they're NS pagan/black metal.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, it says they are folk/pagan metal...this song is taking FOREVER to download.
