i wouldve sold the apostle CD to you for cheap

 

[Vittra]

Didn't even notice it on your list, then again, this was only $10 at the show and it would be at least that if not more to ship over to Canada.

Not liking them I take it?

 

[Reign in Acai]

That album just goes on for too damn long.

 

[J.]

/\ Nice one - just make sure to skip the tracks "Seventeen" and "Stay on Top" and you're good to go.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Seventeen is classic

Sad but true heh.

I spoke to Chuck about it and encouraged an album and an EP instead of just an album. He never really said why he did it, but I think he is one of those guys who wants an album that will engulf you for an hour or so.

I don't think it's just generic maryland doom metal at all. Especially The Dark Tower and A Slow Suicide. Their upbeat tracks are quite different in their progression and vocal melodies, which isn't really close to the Maryland stuff. The only band that I find similar is Penance, but to me it's more of a expansion of their music. The title track is fucking phenomenal in it's emotive power.

In total the album is just to damn long, which makes me rarely listen to it. Each song is great on it's own, however.

Also, fuck cover songs on albums!

Purchases:
Serpent Cult - Weight of Light
Ulver - Bergtatt (from Vittra)

[J.]

it just didnt hit me like some of the other stuff. penance, however, is brilliant and i like all their albums.

 

[Vittra]

Seriously. What an amazing way to kick off a set, god damn. Still find it surprising some people don't like that they start off with the title track live.

Ulver - Bergtatt (from Vittra)

Hopefully you can get that in good running condition
