Leviathan - Massive Conspiracy Against All Life

[Bothering]

Bearing in mind that I like nothing that I have heard from this band (the Xasthur/Leviathan split, The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide and Verräter), is this album really worth picking up at all?

The similarities to DsO that have been mentioned in various places are really the only things that are causing me to even consider getting this.

I haven't heard the new ablum, but the DsO similartities can be found on The Blind Wound EP. I'd suggest getting that, and if you don't like it then maybe Leviathan isn't for you, but since you didn't like the two Leviathan songs on the Xasthur/Leviathan split I'd say it already isn't for you.

Wrest shows that he can still make a quality black metal album. I actually think this is the best one he's done. I was extremely impressed with this album.

I'll wait for Newbury Comics to stock this beast, so I may not be picking it up until May.

I listened last night to The Tenth Sublevel Of Suicide...I don't get how a black metal fan could dislike it.

*points at NINETY-FUCKING-NINE percent of other black metal*

Yeah, this genre is usually so serious and stoic, right?

This is why I like Furze so much.

Leviathan is shit.

well I couldnt go that far.

Its okay imo... certainly hugely over-rated though. As far as American stuff goes, its better than most that the country produces.

I think Wrest's talents are better utilised in Lurker of Chalice anyway. Far more unique and creative imo.

This is why I like Furze so much.

Furze is fucking awesome!

Furze is extremely cool. I need to listen to his music more often.

"Tentacles" is not an easy album, I tried it a few times and didn't like it. How does it compare to "The Tenth Sub level"?

Wanna know if it's worth checking it...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I didn't like it compared to Tenth Sub Level...

 

[S<issors]

speaking as someone who doesn't like black metal (Enslaved, WitTR, LA, and Summoning excepted), including what I've heard of Wrest's previous work, I really enjoy this release

take that as you will...

also the name is sweet

For the record, there *IS* a massive conspiracy against all life.
