Drudkh - Blood In Our Wells

Crap, Zod values production! I completely forgot!
True. However, by my standards, I shouldn't much care for the Drudkh CDs either. While decently produced by Black Metal standards, they're not exactly an Andy Sneap-like effort.

By the way, I'm spinning up D666 and digging it. I thought I had previously checked these guys out and didn't care for them. But I'm not sure what I wouldn't have liked. Cool shit (well, at least the 1st song on "Unchain the Wolves").

for the record, even though i agree that zod should probably not waste his time*: "hvis lyset tar oss" does in no way have worse sound than any drudkh album








































































* listening to nevermore and opeth
 
I'd feel bad worshipping Drudkh and not giving a shit about - at least - Burzum. Then again I listen to Riverside with fair fondness and Porcupine Shit is completely lost on me. Oh wait, Riverside are better :)
 
The solo's on this CD are really good. They've definitely emphasized them more on the last two CD's, its really awesome to hear sweeping arpeggios in Drudkh songs.

Porcupine Tree do nothing for me. Riverside is better, but they still fall short. Out of Myself felt like 1 good song and 8 filler tracks to me. It was stolen, and needless to say, won't be replaced.

Autumn Aurora was completely mediocre to me aswell, but I only listened 6 times so who's to say? May take more time. Nonetheless the track I heard from Blood in our Wells that was posted in this thread totally made me shit my drawers. So the band shall continue to reap the benefits of me being a customer. One shiny dime coming their way. :)
 
I only like one of Porcupine Tree's albums (In Absentia)... guess I should check out riverside.

Autumn Aurora is an enjoyable listen to me, but not a mainstain of my listening, that said, i think I like Blood in our Wells much more than AA.

Really? I love this disc from start to finish. That said, I like the new one even more. More balanced, more mature.

While I'm clearly not a huge fan of Black Metal, or whatever label you feel like tagging Drudkh with, this disc kind of "wowed" me from the first listen.
