Keen of the Crow - Hyborea

[JayKeeley]

Yes, 'tis the mark of Thulsa Doom.

Holy crap, this is pretty damn great. It's old Morgion with a little Neurosis and Novembers Doom thrown into a blender. Epic as hell.

Needs a few more listens, but after one spin, I'd say you haven't fully judged 2007 without first hearing KotC.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Love these guys. Only have their demo and need to pick this up stat!

Seen em a year or so ago and apparently they were offered a slot at HCI

 

[J.]

great stuff. gotta read along with the lyrics

 

[Guthrum]

Heard their demo and liked it a good bit, didn't know they had an album out.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Yeah, it came out in the spring, unfortunately they broke up because the guitarist is/was/still is a douchebag.

But the album fucking rules.

 

[JayKeeley]

But the album fucking rules.

Wait, Keen of the Crow have split up?

 

[J.]

on hold apparently

 

[Guthrum]

What the hell.

 

[JayKeeley]

they broke up because the guitarist is/was/still is a douchebag.

I have an old RC story about this guy, but first, I'd like to know more about why other people percieve him to be a dickhead.

 

[Krilons Resa]

yes, this is really good.

edit - yeah, this kicks fucking ass after only a single spin. that coverart is marvelous too.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I have an old RC story about this guy, but first, I'd like to know more about why other people percieve him to be a dickhead.

Cause I know the story.

 

[JayKeeley]

Cause I know the story.

Ha, so you remember that crap. I didn't realize you'd been around this long. Oh wait, you haven't always been "Conspicuously Absent" have you?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

What story!?!?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Ha, so you remember that crap. I didn't realize you'd been around this long. Oh wait, you haven't always been "Conspicuously Absent" have you?

Iconoclastic Tendencies beforehand.

And yeah, I know both stories. The new and the old.

what an asshat.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Well divulge the stories...

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

early morning, lots to do. I'll leave that for JK, gotta work

 

[JayKeeley]

Well divulge the stories...

blah blah blah

Morgion demo featuring Mindrot vocalist

blah blah

threw a hissy fit

blah blah

the end

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

story 2 involved probably the same guy (guitarist/vocalist/wanker) hijacking blogs, websites, myspace. Conflicting information, backstabbing and lots of juicy shittyness.

Long story short, drummer tried to keep it somewhat together, guitarist was however a level 500 douchebag, so at some point it wasn't worth the trouble after all the public harm done. Said fuck it, and they're broken up. He's taking a break, but is in touch with some people, probably gonna try again at some point.

Thats about as vague as I can be, and as detailed as I want to be.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I thought this was gonna be a juicy story, like the ones about Vintersorg/Borknagar/Dimmu/etc, which all include sex, drugs and STDs... Total disappointment.

I still wanna hear this album, though!

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yeaaaa I remember that nonsense. Some people just really need to learn to relax.
