Graveland - where to beging?

[Demilich]

...i don´t want to stop your discussion about graveland drumming but what is the political story of this very discussed band????...

pretty much looks like that. keep in mind that i have no knowledge of this guy's posting history, but all he did in this case was inquire about the political history of the band

...what do you want to know about my posting history?...should i have 1.334.556 postings here before I can ask such questions?...I just wanted to know how RC thinks about this topic...I haven´t wrote anything about Graveland´s music, cause it´s not my pair of shoes, btw. drumming is crap...

...just forget everything I and nobody here wants to start this neverending discussion...it seems to be a central-european one...

.... cheers!

Thurisaz sounded just the way I like and the drumming sounds very good, the sound is good on drums as for this kind of stuff I prefer lofi-drums.

I have to get Following the Voice of Blood.

I have to get Following the Voice of Blood.

So does any self-respecting metal fan. Good form. Near-flawless album.

 

[Necromunchkin]

My first Graveland album was Thousand Swords, followed shortly thereafter by Following the Voice of Blood. Brilliant albums.

 

[J.]

A wise munchkin, you are.

 

[M.Lehto]

I can't get any albums before next week, could someone post more samples?

I'm interested about pre-2000 stuff. I've now only heard those 3 songs you've posted.

no prob

 

[JayKeeley]

I listened to Thousand Swords the other day and had pretty much forgotten what a dire production it has. Or at least, it just sounds very quiet and 'thin', no? If you compare it to, say, Dawn of Iron Blades, it doesn't seem to pack as much of a punch.

Discuss.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

It is a very "thin" sounding record, I know what you mean. I really havent listened to older Graveland in a long while. If Im in the mood for them lately, I'll put on something like Creed of Iron or Dawn of Iron Blades.

 

[J.]

it does, but so do the other classic Graveland albums. it just fits like a glove.

listened to Fire Chariot today. anyone who assumes or says this is just the same album repeated is a dumbshit. Darken has upped the black metal aspect and dropped the Conan-isms of previous albums.

interesting look at NSBM from a metal mag, for once: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/features/may2006/nsbm.aspx
