Gods to the Godless...

[General Zod]

It is godly. That is all.

No doubt it's ace and 10/10, but it's no Bathory fer sure

Seriously, or are you just fucking with me?

What? I don't think anything Primordial ever has done is even CLOSE to Bathory at their best

Nemtheanga would agree on this statement btw

Fair enough.

Somewhat meaningless. There are many, many musicians who don't think their music has surpassed the music of their influences. However, that doesn't make it so. For instance, comparing Bathory's lyrics to Primordial's is just crazyy. Nemtheanga's lyrics are pure, brilliant poetry. While Bathory's lyrics, while maybe original in subject matter, are quite simple. The drumming in Primordial is light years ahead of Bathory. I also think Nemtheanga's vocals are vastly superior to Q's.

Look, I'm not interested in making this a Bathory vs. Primoridal discussion. I know how much you guys dig Bathory, and I can respect that.

If you like his lyrics, cool. As I said, I think they're basic and it's clear when reading them that English isn't his first language.

Zod

 

[Ellestin]

Yes his English fails in places but his lyrics are still more worthy than 96% of all native English bands

I love your stats

Indeed.

Nemtheanga is more of a poet, Quorthon was more of a lyricist. It's a fine line. [/erik]

But seriously, if Nemtheanga published a notebook of poems, I'd read it.

 

[Ellestin]

The lyrics he's written for Void of Silence are among his finest, especially the eponymous track off "Human Antithesis". Literally blood-chilling.

By the way, I can't list fave Primordial songs in any order, but a couple of comments:

(a) "The Burning Season" is EXCELLENT. The section beginning at around 3:40m is pure excellence. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the riffing style on DRUDKH's Autumn Aurora ("Wind of the Night Forests" anyone? I knew there was a reason that was my fave Drudkh track).

(b) "And the Sun set on Life forever" on The Burning Season EP is different to "Let the Sun set on Life forever" from Imrama. I've not heard the latter version, but the former is indeed fucking EXCELLENT. Obviously very epic with a glorious intro only to be reprised again at around the 6:00m mark....ugh, this band is impossibly great.

NOTE:

Willy 'Erik' Wonka posts first.

Oompa Loompas follow.

New RC rule: for future band polls, Erik should vote last.

 

[Demilich]

dude, I may be stupid, but what the fuck are you trying to imply about me? Shit went right over my head

 

[Krilons Resa]

it wasnt about you.

 

[Demilich]

Well I'd still like an explanation. Peferably with a small diagram. Diagram preferably by Erik. And it has to include the words "Here be dragons"

 

[Demilich]

That was undisputably the most useful instructional diagram the internet has ever seen.
