Balflare - Sleeping Hollow (Soundholic; Power Metal) - April 23, 2008

April 23, eh?

 

[no country for old wainds]

is the latest esoteric as amazing as i've been hearing?

"salem 1692" by ceremonial castings is officially good. it may be their best effort yet. check it out.

 

[Life Sucks]

I just checked out the new Ataraxie, and I am a bit disappointed. It's more dissonant and drone-ish funeral doom than the last one. They seemed to have abandoned much of their melody in favor of droning dissonance.

Molested's Blod Draum album and Stormvold EP will be bundled and rereleased later this year on Ars Magna Recordings. Includes new artwork:

I got my copy of Dark Space III in the mail today. Everyone I know who has listened so far either thinks its their best or their worst, so we'll see what I think when I spin it.

If you want to buy the digipack, you'll have to try your luck on eBay, but a jewel case version will be out probably sometime this year and should be available from Avantgarde Music.

They should've stuck with the original artwork for Blod Draum.

 

[Lord Kur]

my first impression is that the new darkspace is way more enjoyable and trance inducing then the others. it seems like they totally got it right this time

 

[The Ozzman]

Apparently the new Priest album is streaming at different sites. I have heard that it kinda sucks though :/

It leaked today. The new Venom album also leaked, but didn't download it yet.

I love the new art!!

 

[Rumpole]

It's cool, but I just prefer the original.

 

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

Word.

Regarding remastering of the Molested reissue:

We're actually going to take a stab at it. Oystein had thought about it but doesn't have the time. I considered releasing it both ways, but that would be a little excessive. My plan is to see how it comes out and go from there. If anything, we'd probably just make it a little louder. I don't hear as well as I did back in the day.

 

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

DON'T TOUCH!

 

[Lord Kur]

i'm actually enjoying the new priest album. i never thought in a million years i would like it considering it's got 23 songs about a concept i find to be kinda tired. it's epic power metal!!!

Dammit, they pushed back the new Darkspace street date to the 17th. I want it nowwwwww.
