Doom Metal

That album will undoubtedly be recalled in Doom Metal history (along with Warning - Watching From A Distance and Solstice - New Dark Age) as undisputed classics of the genre in line with Trouble, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Revelation, etc.
 
Agreed.

The new Electric Wizard is weak and also comes in the shittiest and weakest digipak ever.
I haven't even bothered with it. I kinda stopped bothering with EW at all accually, they've gotten boring. I'm starting to be so "true" lately. It is kinda depressing. :(
 
Well I finally listened to Candlemass yesterday. Epicus Doomicus Metallicus to be exact. What rock have I been hiding under? It's fucking great. Gonna check out Nightfall now.

I just did that today, only with nightfall. Great fucking album. I thought doom was slower, but maybe I've been listening to the wrong bands :p

:lol: Why is that depressing? True/traditional doom kicks the shit out of most other forms of heavy metal.

You hit the nail on the head about Electric Wizard being boring now. Witchcult is just montonous and it all just blends into one song. Part of the problem is the new production style, it's really weak when you compare it to the sound that Come My Fanatics had. I also think that they're putting too much focus on their image with the whole 70s horror/occult thing, they need to concentrate on the music more. Although you can't complain about all the naked chicks in the artwork.

Album of the year for me, and I even like heavy productions, yet this production seemed to give the album more flow.

And I got the jewel case version.
 
For me, the production gives it too much flow. Like I said, the songs blur into one after a while. I might change my mind after a few more listens, but so far it's been very underwhelming.

Lucky you got the jewel case version, the digipak is supposed to be a gatefold replica and is ridiculously thin. The plastic wrapping it came in bent the spine out of shape so the ends of the thing overlap each other.
 
Yeah a couple more listens will do it justice. If you still don't like it, that's OK.


Heh, I just read some of the notes of the back of the album. "Candlelight supports PETA."

Yeah I know it does. :p (not most btw, ALL!). The thing is that I'm starting to think Dopethrone/Come My Fanatics/Let Us Prey sounds boring too. Too groovy or something.

lol

PETA is no different than any other organization. When will people learn to support themselves?

EDIT: Sorry stupid question. Never.
