Empiricism review at Metal Observer

[Demonspell]

I have no affiliation with this publication, but this closely echoes my sentiments and I think the Vintersorgians here will appreciate it the same...

I have two phrases to start off this review with, and both of them will shock the Metal-world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH VINTERSORG!!!!!!!!

2. THIS BURIES THE NEW EMPEROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, baby! If you put Vintersorg in the fold of anything, it instantly takes on a whole new life. Let me tell you something. I could give a piss if BORKNAGAR ceased to exist. I have never really given a crap about them. They were in that file under "too much to figure out" column.

So next. This is easily a better record than "Prometheus" from EMPEROR: BORKNAGAR figured it out and have created one ass whipper of an album - melodic, brutal, eloquent, progressive, morbid, beautiful, baddmutherfuckingass!!!

Also, it never hurts to have the drummer from SPIRAL ARCHITECT help out (his playing is alright, and if you believe that, well....) (Asgeir isn't only a stand-in, he is permanent! - Alex) and the ever-underappreciated Tyr who has no problem showing his bass-abilities to everyone. Also a plus are the piano interludes and wonderful use of the keyboards and fuckin pinpoint clean vocal patterns.

This is definitely top 5 of 2001. I suggest you all listen...............

www.borknagar.com has a full mp3 of 'The Genuine Pulse', and if you need more to discover the true majesty of this album... well there are other outlets but i suggest buying the album. The US release date is January 22nd or if you can't wait that long you can purchase it online from http://www.theendrecords.com/omega/omega.htm

Good luck and enjoy!

Last I checked, the one from www.borknagar.com had been taken down because so many people were after it, it was using up all their bandwidth.

I got plenty from WinMX... you just have to try at the right times.

I couldn't agree more with their review.

The new Emperor is much more exciting, and listenable.....I find Empiricism too simplistic, unvaried, and uninspired.....But that's just me I guess.

Bring back Simen!!!!!
