EMPYRIUM - a class of their own

[JayKeeley]

hah, the one they didn't get. give me another rec

Start at the beginning with "A Wintersunset...". I can say that it gets better, but to do it in sequence will probably do the band justice.

 

[Demonspell]

I'd get Weiland first in lieu of the absent Songs Of Moors, especially since you've been more receptive to non-metal albums lately...

 

[Krilons Resa]

UARAL is being released on Octagon Music Group records. They are currently ironing out a couple details with the artwork and it will be complete!! It should be released by the end of October. I have pre-ordered my copy. WOOOOP!

This is the greatest news I have heard in weeks!

 

[JayKeeley]

THanks for the heads up. YOu bought it from Octagon? I guess I can find them on google...

 

[Krilons Resa]

They don't have a website. Here is the the dude, Fernando, from OMG email address: omg@vtr.net

 

[JayKeeley]

Thanks - just mailed him. I guess at some point, it'll be worth trying to track down other Uaral releases (demos / EPs).

Aren't they the same songs though? Except Acidal. Dude, this whole band is a fucking mystery. Im just glad that I stumbled upon them by complete fucking chance. lol

Although, I'd probably give my right nut for them demos if there are actually even any pressed at all. Uaral has made it clear to OMG that they do not want overexposure. Not that OMG would be able to produce any mass exposure on it's own anyway since this is the first I have heard of them, but you get the drift.

Overexposure!!? Man, they make this brand new album and already it's more rare than the Pink Floyd / Darkthrone split.

 

[Krilons Resa]

There goes my left nut.

Oh well, perhaps you could just adopt.

"C'mon do it for the kids."

Fuck the kids!

Also, can I just HIGHLY recommend Tenhi's Kauan to everyone into this genre since Dark Symphonies just got it in for $10.

bought that one two weeks ago after hearing some samples, it hasn't arrived yet though :|. i liked them much more than väre which seemes much less gloomy

 

[Doom]

Kauan is amazing, one of the best albums in that style. Much better than Vare IMO. I never really got into Vare though.

 

[JayKeeley]

Quick question for all you Empyrium gurus out there: DID THEY EVER PLAY LIVE?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Not that I know of. I wouldn't expect them to either.

 

[Demonspell]

For them, overexposure must mean "let only one webzine be aware of our existence". They're not even in the doom-metal.com bandlist yet.

I remember reading an interview when he said they never have, and never would.

 

[JayKeeley]

'Tis a shame because there is nothing then left to collect from Empyrium, i.e. no live bootlegs.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I still need that "Poems..." one you were talking about. Motherfuck.

 

[spaffe]

Speaking of SotS: I realized just now that the split with Nachtmar has new tracks; I always thought it was a re-release of the EP material.
