Deathcult For Eternity & The Chasm (WAY overrated)

[Quinn Dexter]

This album would be good - it has some ruling riffs - if it weren't for the fact that it's:

1 - Out of tune.

2 - Filled with 80's-porn-glam-rock-cheese-solos-of-skidding-forward-on-your-knees-death

3 - Amongst the most pretentious things in the history of recorded music. Funnier because it's out of tune pretention.

4 - They do the Status-Quo guitar shaking thing in unison when they play live.

See, even if you are composing Beethoven-neoclassical-Mozart-Nationalist-Mahler-core, it helps to be in tune.

For all the cool riffs, how is the Chasm not filled with cheese?
How can you talk something up as if it's a Classical masterpiece when it isn't even recorded in tune?

All those things you mentioned are among the things that make the album amazing, except no. 3. How anyone can call music "pretentious" is beyond me. I can't understand how a bunch of guys, playing metal, can in any way be considered pretentious! They're just playing what they feel like fucking playing!

 

[Jean-Pierre]

The Chasm is Heavy Fucking Metal, nothing pretentious about them. The elitist hype over the album is pretty stupid, but it's basically just a raw, somewhat sloppy, epic death metal album.

Nobody called it a "classical masterpiece", but it's hardly out of tune in any unintentional or ineffective sense.

True.

The Chasm is Heavy Fucking Metal, nothing pretentious about them. The elitist hype over the album is pretty stupid, but it's basically just a raw, somewhat sloppy, epic death metal album.

Also true.

Ohhhhhh burn!

Lolzors!

 

[Varg Vikernes]

Who gives a shit about pretension? The Chasm own.

 

[Life Sucks]

That CD rules. It's not out of tune. They incorporate some dissonant harmonies occasionally, but the album is not as a whole out of tune.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I don't think the muchachos in The Chasm sat down and said, "Hmmm, hombre, we gotta make some of that anti-populist neoclassical music that reflects our nationalistic spirit, chico!"

They most likely decided to play some heavy fucking death metal and decided to be great composers at the same time. Instead of following a trend or a standard verse-chorus or typical DM structure, they figured classical progression would work the best. Lots of bands have done that. They happened to be the best at it.

The untuned sound probably comes from a unique take on dissonance.

Like JP said, The Chasm is just heavy fucking metal. Nothing wrong or overrated about that.

I enjoy the music on it. The production is just really dull,flat and akward. The guitars have no tone at all which is probably why it sounds out of tune. I think it might sound out of tune due to the actually recordings. I remember the guitars not having sustaine which could mean they are out of tune, will give it another listen since i've not for awile. It would be a more powerful if the guitars,instrumentes were recorded somewhat properly. The new album has better production but the music is just not all that good.

The band could be slightly overrated. Depends

I think the dissonance is about the only thing I like about the album. The production is just so bad. I was majorly dissapointed.

 

[skeptik]

I prefer Conjuration Of The Spectral Empire over Deathcult For Eternity. The tone on the latter is slightly irritating to my ears, and the former is overal more enjoyable to me. I do believe it's slightly overrated, as I don't even consider it do be their best, but it's damn good, that's for sure.

 

[Edgecrusher]

The Chasm deserve whatever hype they get. They are simply one of the most amazing bands on the planet.
