METAL 2008 - OFFICIAL THREAD

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

I downloaded it to see what the fuss was about; couldn't even get through the first track, which was horribly fucking average from what I heard of it. I do NOT comprehend why everyone thinks this band is great. It's pretty fad-tastic imo.

Get better headphones, and turn your lights out.

 

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

I have heard and enjoyed plenty of black metal with normal headphones, and I only buy the lights out/tune in turn up drop out kind of thing for Burzum for the most part. But we'll see.

you people turn the lights off to appreciate music? wtf

 

[cookiecutter]

I made it about halfway through one of the Darkspace albums. Nothing stood out at all

 

[Thoth-Amon]

you people turn the lights off to appreciate music? wtf

some people enjoy actually listening to what they are listening to

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

I already have mine. The limited digipack was released on the 30th and was available for preorder before that, but only through Sound Cave.

I still think it's really good. At first I didn't like the stuff I heard from them, but it grew on me when I listened to it again on headphones and just focused only on that.

 

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

It's possible I'll try but doesn't seem likely. Hype kills shit for me nowadays tbh.

 

[Omni]

I mostly ignore the metal scene, and used to even more, so I had no idea a lot of the bands I like were popular until I started using Last.fm and posting on sites like this.

I preordered mine through CD Universe. They keep pushing back the street date. You in Europe?

I live in Florida. Sound Cave is the official store for Darkspace's record label, and the limited to 500 digipack version was only made available through them, and was limited to 4 per customer to make it difficult for other stores to sell it. Considering the delay in street date, you're likely getting a jewel case version since those were pressed after the digipacks were sold out.

The title of the new Shining album has changed. It's now going to be called VI: Klagopsalmer. The original title was going to be VI: Tillbaka På Ruta Ett.

Album art:

Track listing:
1. Vilseledda Barnasjälars Hemvist
2. Plågoande O'Helga Plågoande
3. Krossade Drömmar Och Brutna Löften
4. Fullständigt Jävla Död Inuti
5. Ohm - Skoj Att Leva
6. Total Utfrysning

Supposedly, there will be 6 vocalists. Likely candidates given Kvarforth's connections in the black metal scene are Maniac (ex-Mayhem), Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest) and Attila Csihar (Mayhem), but no official info has been given. King ov Hell from Gorgoroth will be playing session bass on this album.

Fuckin awesome album cover. Definetly I'll be checking this out.

 

[Omni]

The cover is funny. If you look in the bottom left, one of them is yawning.

 

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

Hahahaha yes!

 

[Ars Magna]

I'm not thrilled with the different vocalists being involved, but am still looking very forward to this.

 

[Omni]

Considering the ones I posted were just semi-educated guesses, it could turn out to be really cool.
