I figure if I like Nattens Madrigal I'm ready for anything. Probably way off just saying that though.

Garm likes to cite a huge "Transilvanian Hunger" influence when talking about "Nattens Madrigal." I can hear where he's coming from, and he should know, but there are still HUGE differences between the albums. Transilvanian Hunger is much more minimalistic.

i agree. i always consider 'blaze', 'funeral' and 'hunger' to be their big trilogy. . . all are similar but very unique in their own ways. the only song i've heard from 'panzerfaust' is en vind av sorg (i think it's on there) and i like it, although i'm told that it is by far the best on the album. i also own 'plaguewielder', but it is kinda bland. . .

Heh, Panzerfaust is great. "En Vind Av Sorg" is one of two songs on it in the fluid, melodic "Transilvanian Hunger" style, the rest of the songs are...

*drumroll*

CELTIC FROST WORSHIP!!!

 

[Black Winter Day]

it's strange. . . i love all the bands influenced by celtic frost, but for some reason i can't stomach the real deal! i even downloaded some of the songs you guys reccomended on the thread and it was *pretty okay*, but nothing wonderful. i guess i would have to had been around the scene at the time to realize their true importance. . . but as of now they do nothing for me.

 

[Erik]

OK, well, if you feel like downloading something off "Panzerfaust" before buying it, try "Triumphant Gleam" or "The Hordes of Nebulah"... The Celtic Frost influence is blatantly obvious, but the recording quality and vocals are different of course. Also, it's definitely more of a "Morbid Tales" influence than a "To Mega Therion" influence -- I seem to remember you had the latter.

Yeppers, I received it today, thanks a lot. I'll get right on 'em.

Great - I'm sure you don't mind the DB promo on tape. Hey, at least it's the full album.

BTW, Madder Mortem =

That band really has some inflicted some mental abuse on the regulars in this forum board. We should start a thread on them, just sharing horror stories.

How is Woodtemple working out for you? I thought you might enjoy "The crow of the shadow wood"?

They occasionally come up with good riffs but THE VOCALIST! OMG. Someone should tell her to... Well, shut up.

I really like it. Listened to it twice so far. Will pass further judgement later.

I simply MUST hear Madder Mortem! I have never seen such universal dissaproval!

WHOA! AllMusicGuide.com gave it 4.5 out of 5!

End of allmusic.com review:

In all honesty, Madder Mortem's challenging level of inventiveness and, well, lunacy almost guarantees that Deadlands will only translate to a very select and open-minded audience; yet for anyone capable of enjoying the extreme metal leanings of Emperor, the daring experimentalism of the Gathering and the fearless invention of Faith no More will delight in what they find here.

End of royalcarnage.com review:

Listen! And understand! This thing is out there. It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are bored to the point of drinking a pint of bleach and slitting your own throat with a rusty spoon.

hey bloodfiredeath, you were in a wes craven mood, huh

They Live and Prince of Darkness are Carpenter and I'm always in the mood for John Carpenter. Craven did People Under the Stairs, which I have a hard time calling a good movie, but I have a soft spot for none the less. Wes Craven's career has been very spotty at best.
