Depressive Age

[EdenKriss]

i only own their third album, "symbols for the blue times" and i think its a great album (once you learn to ignore the lyrics - i usually dont give a fuck about a few grammar bummers, but this is really terrible!).

apparently they have reunited, if thats the right word for it. the lead singer is the only original member, and i just heard some of their new songs on their website and theyre ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!

any old fans here? and what do you think of their old/new music?

I can be considered an "old fan", since i bought "Electric Scum" when it was released in late 1996. Overall Depressive Age is one of my favourite bands, i love their technical, yet emotional, prog/thrash of the first 2 albums, the weirdeness of "Symbols..", and the true progressive spirit of "Electric Scum", which is imo the "Rage For Order" of the 90s. I liked the new tracks very much, different yes, but only Lubitzki remains of the old lineup. I just expected unique and emotional music, and thats what i got.
One of the truly underrated bands of the 90s, in the same league as many many other lost prog metal heroes.

Consider the fact that the sound of the clips is not good eh. I can wait for the album to be released.

I fucking adore this band....although I still cant get completely into Electric Scum.

Lying In Wait still is my favorite.

So what do you think about the videos? Perhaps the "Small Town Boy" clip will make you revisit "Electric Scum" and listen it from a different angle.
