Grand Morbid Resurrection 2018

Yep, that's him. It's at least refreshing to see a different painting style in death metal art.

New album looks sexy as fuck....more Satan=quality!

 

[the_fiend]

I'm getting half folk metal, half Paradise Lost vibe from the album art. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Lifemocker]

Im getting pure black metal vibes. "Cant understand shit through this wall of defeaning noise" type.

[Belac]

I dig the artwork. Will probably hate the music thanks to bad vocals.

 

[DarkGift]

Aren't you doing the vocals on the new album Caleb?

 

[Lifemocker]

He's humble and self critical

 

[Lifemocker]

Well, it's probably not garbage, probably because im trying to stay objective here. I kinda got bored with metal, so nowadays if something is not amazing I just dont like it.

And its certainly not amazing. I can feel some oldschool bloodbath vibes, but thats not it. It's a strange mix, not monotonous enough to just ignore it and let play in the background and not catchy enough to give a fuck while listening to it.

First Bloodbath EP was catchy as fucj, you could turn it into a pop song and it had energy and flavour.
Or we could have so0mething like Fathomless Mastery with great atmosphere.

This I probably heard 1000 thousand times before, but I just cant remember it because it all sounds the same.

Vocals are probably not helping, they monotonous as fuck, theyre better than in previous album, but its still just grumpy dude barking some shit with the same tone. Snoozefest. Guitar tone is okay though.

Final thought: Yea, leave those track names to Lordi, they fit them. For Bloodbath it sounds edgy and silly. Unless it's shitpost album, but it doesnt look like it.

New Bloodbath song isn't too bad. Nick is still monotone as hell, but it sounds like they spent more time on the production side of the vocals to make them sit in the mix a little better. The guest vocals help too. Musically it's pretty good, very old school vibe and the mix sounds full. So far it sounds like an improvement over the last album aside from the goofy ass album and song titles. haha.

I'll need to hear more, but this has a much better chance of growing on me than GMF ever did.

I didn't see this before. I totally would man, and it'd at least be passable!

I've even tried to get a bunch of different people on board with doing a cover of one of the GMF songs to at least hear it with proper vocals, but everyone lost interest. Even Mike was like "I'm just not feeling these songs" and passed on it.

My impressions of the new song are kind of lukewarm. Musically it sounds decent (and in part like Omnious bloodvomit), but fairly monotonous.

The guitar sound is in the correct ballpark, but sounds a bit suffocated/suppressed for some reason. I guess I need to blame the production for that? Or maybe it's just shitty YouTube compression (but I highly doubt that).

 

[rj rl]

It's a 7.5/10 which is bad news for a first single.

 

[Lifemocker]

Yup, they usually use best or second best song. If this is the best the rest must be actual garbage

The guitar tone resembles Ominous Bloodvomit but OB was really catchy and "jumpy", while this song is a lullaby. I'm fine with Nick's growls on some Paradise Lost songs, but he just doesnt fit Bloodbath for me.
Agree on sound being suffocated, but I dont think its compression sadly.

I fucking love the new song...Nick sounds great and there is a very old school feeling to it. It is a simple and cathcy song not very unlike those on the first EP and I dig this alot!

My thoughts exactly after one listen.

 

[Lifemocker]

Meh

Still mediocre sounding and the theme is still "Lordi went death metal".

Even though the VHS idea was cool, the MV was boring. Looks like im not buying this album or listening to it once its out on youtube

 

[DarkGift]

video was pretty nice liked the song a lot more than the last one too

 

[nizzon]

I like it too! Cool that they go a bit more Death 'N Roll this time, I hope more songs have that influence.

 

[nizzon]

For all you hating Nicks vocals... Hypocrisy is working on a new album so next year we will once again hear Peters lovely growl. Im so hyped for that one. Seeing them live in a few weeks.

 

[Lifemocker]

Im a fag and I always preferred Akerfeldsts vocals, they were juicy, raspy, deep and demonic. I hate 90% of growls, because they are flat. Once I heard it doesnt have to sound like this I never went back.
