Great album. Did you get the issue bundled with Return to the Rectory?
I finally picked up In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend and I've been addicted to Burn in Hell! The song is 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.
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.Agreed.
The new Electric Wizard is weak and also comes in the shittiest and weakest digipak ever.
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.

Agreed.

Yeah I know it does. (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.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.
Heh, I just read some of the notes of the back of the album. "Candlelight supports PETA."
