Doom Metal

[Blind Guardian]

New Solitude Aeternus is gonna be sweet. I guess Robert Lowe is THE doom metal person of the year.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Lowe is great, as far as candlemass goes, I still prefer Messiah (of course) but Lowe is the second best man for the job.

Has anyone heard the new Doomraiser? Wondering if it's worth it to pick it up.

Hm...I didn't even know this existed, thanks for the tip.

 

[Vilden]

Anyone heard the new Forsaken? I've heard it's great, need to pick it up.

It is great, following the same epic style as usual. Not topping Iconoclast or Anima Mundi though imo.

I actually prefer Dominaeon to Anuma Mundi.

 

[Omni]

I just started listening to Scald's Will of the Gods Is Great Power. It's stunning.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah it is.

 

[Crapples]

Have not listened to that in AGES. Rediscovering it as I type this. So epic.

 

[Vilden]

I actually prefer Dominaeon to Anuma Mundi.

It's a close call between them imo but Anima Mundi was the first one I got into so I like it the best. Iconoclast is easily their best work though imo, too bad it is only an EP.

And Will of the Gods is Great Power is pretty much the best epic doom album ever, only rivaled by EDM and New Dark Age.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Speaking of Scald, I cannot stop listening to 'A Tumulus'. Agyl's vocal performance is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

 

[Vilden]

I've always liked Sepulchral Bonfire the most. His scream in the end is the best scream in the history of screams?

lmao, we're going to disagre again friend...I prefer Nightfall and Lamentations.

I'm writing a review for the campus paper on the new Candlemass album. Care to share some opinions?

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I don't download, so I have to wait for the release. I have heard samples though and they pretty much ruled.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Okay, I cheated and went to youtube and listened to The Bleeding Baroness from the new album.....Holy fuck! This album is gonna rule!

Good. Now check out my review - http://zephyrusblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/candlemass-death-magic-doom/

candlemass doesnt much for me. messiah's vocals grate on my nerves. that being said, are 13th sun and dactigalyma or whatever worth picking up?

 

[Blind Guardian]

Well if it's because of Messiah's dramatic tone you don't like them you could very well like 13th Sun and Dactylis since Björn Flodkvist has much more restrained vocals. From The 13th Sun is among my top 3 favourite Candlemass-albums actually, it's very underrated. It's also different in style from the "classical" sound, darker and not as epic.

Good. Now check out my review - http://zephyrusblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/candlemass-death-magic-doom/

Good review man, can't wait to hear the rest of the album. The only problem I had was when you said Messiah's vocals sounded out of place on the ST album. I really disagree, I think that album was brilliant in every way, in fact, it's my second favorite after Nightfall.

 

[Rumpole]

New Candlemass isn't doing much for me.
