Leviathan

[Nate The Great]

Anybody heard 'em? Sort of that cold, grim Darkthrone stuff, but they seem to have potential.

Here's a link to a page with an mp3.

Oops! For some reason I can't link the exact page I want.

Here's the mp3:

Actually Leviathan sounds a lot like Xasthur . . . now that I listen to that mp3 again.

 

[Nate The Great]

I love talking to myself.

 

[Krilons Resa]

One of my favorite black metal bands that I mention a lot. They are great at producing the doomy atmosphere through BM. The lead vox has got a great shriek,

Yet another band from San Francisco, CA. They are constantly mentioned alongside Weakling, and Aquarius are selling their 2 CD release, but all this was discussed in the San Francisco thread already. \m/

Based on the immense reviews, however, I went with Weakling first. Well, second if you include getting Xasthur last year, arf arf.

 

[Black Winter Day]

do you have any idea how long it takes aquarius to deliver, jaykeeley?

i would say "i'm sorry for leading this off-topic", but... ya know...

 

[JayKeeley]

Based on what I've read, I would guess 7 days (2 days processing + 5 days shipping).

Dark Symphonies just got a Leviathan CD in stock, for $10.

Bump. Where do I start with these dudes? I fucking love Wrest's work on that Sunn O))) album. In fact I haven't listened to that in a few months but the vocals on It Took the Night to Believe are still firmly planted within my dome. All this during hot triple digit god damn shitfucking weather even!

That's a track from the split with Sapthuran - as for where to start, dunno personally.

 

[NAD]

Well I just bought the Eleventeeth Submarine Sammitch from Suicidal Tendencies so that's where I'll begin.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

You can't go wrong with either full length. I probably find myself listening to The Tenth Sub Level of Suicide a bit more than Tentacles of Whorror though.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

that's probably a good place to start

EDIT: 11th Submarine

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i like tentacles of whorror a bit more personally, i think it's a little more developed/individual sounding

 

[NAD]

After reading a handful of reviews I have a feeling I'll be scooping up that album soon enough as well.

[/late to the party like always]

 

[Ellestin]

A good place to start would be Lurker of Chalice, which is not Leviathan but eh.

I listened to that again the other day. It's still awesome.

I wish some of the other 4 albums worth of material would be released.

I know! Why the fuck WOULDN'T you release them?

As for Leviathan, I have "The Tenth Sublevel of Suicide". It's pretty good, though I think on some of the later tracks Wrest's vocals sound like that of a dinosaur.

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, Wrest has four albums in the can? I knew that he and Malefic were highly productive and they have new splits (speaking of, he sounds like there's a blowtorch incinerating his nuts on the song posted here) and/or side projects every other day, but that is ridiculous...
