Interesting. I would consider it "more Metal" than "Spirit".J. said:

Yeah, and you have to feel bad for them considering they've been around since the early 90's. Eucharist beat Opeth to the proggy-death sound too, but you know, Opeth hit the map and left the rest for dust.
Have you had a chance to listen to "The Knowing" yet?
Or a pop band like A-Ha.
I'm no prog expert but I'll take Ark with Lande over Conception with Khan any day of the week.
People who are ok with metalcore are lucky fuckers because they can pretty much buy blind and guarantee themselves a golden nugget, there's just so much of it about.
Anthrax escape the mallcore label because they have Joey Belladonna. He's a heavy metal singer. It's pretty much down to the vocals at the end of the day.
Suicidal Tendencies rule too.
Totally.

Another trolling one-star rating is ridiculous for this thread. 5 stars and thanks for sharing Zod - really cool, eclectic mix of styles there.

Yeah, Jason, I agree, I've asked Deron to disable the star rating thread bullshit. It's funny because from what I remember of it, Australia isn't a boring country whatsoever. Most people go outdoors once in a while.
Gracias. And the star rating is something I never take note of, in any thread.Dark One said:

Yes. I'm on the fence about it.JayKeeley said:
LOL.JayKeeley said:
It's funny. There was about 12 months where I thought Ark was the shit, and played those two CDs non-stop. I think I burnt out on them, because I haven't listened to either in the longest time and have little desire to do so.JayKeeley said:
Maybe. So far, I've only found three CDs, within the whole genre, that I enjoy; KSE's "Alive or Just Breathing", Lamb of God's "Ashes of the Wake" and Trivium's "Ascendancy". The last two, I don't think should be classified as Mallcore. Trivium is Metal, and anyone who doesn't think LoG is Metal, either doesn't know what Metal is or needs their hearing checked.JayKeeley said:
Well, than Trvium's next CD will be Metal, as they're losing the harsh vocals.JayKeeley said:

That would be a superb move for them IMO; I'd even be quite interested in hearing this too. Because musically, they're pretty good.

I agree. This thread is a success compared to mine, though - six replies so far, two of which are mine.
As for Zod's list:
I gave "Vermin" several spins and thought it was OK at first, but grew tired of it pretty quickly. Too many uninspired riffs and songs that don't go anywhere.
"Verisäkeet" is a fine record, good to see that you mentioned it.
Demonspell
cheating the polygraph
I agree with about half of the list, mostly the prog and related parts, and very good summaries...and thanks Jay, the star rating has become this forum's dumbest joke.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
totally forgot about this one after like 3 spins, and i've been a huge COC fan for years, and have been on a 2 year stoner trip that keeps on keepin' on. in other words, i hope you picked up their other, good albums by now.General Zod said:
I went back and picked up "Wiseblood" and "Deliverance". I already owned "Blind" (I bought when I heard "Dance of the Dead"). I'll probably pick up "America's Volume Dealer" after giving it a quick spin. Just curious, which is your favorite?once I was NAD said:totally forgot about this one after like 3 spins, and i've been a huge COC fan for years, and have been on a 2 year stoner trip that keeps on keepin' on. in other words, i hope you picked up their other, good albums by now.
Also, anything, in the vein of CoC, that you would recommend? Thanks.

Definitely!
The ANGST is totally ugly sounding. Some interesting riffs with some good production. It's not 100% fast all the time and lets some room for atmosphere.
KRIEGSMASCHINE is intense. Another "good" production CD. From begining to end, it kills. Here is a sample: http://kriegsmaschine.pl/ksm4.mp3
KRUK is a CD containg the first two albums (which were very hard to find.) Hailing from Belarus you get the block sound and style as with most bands from Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Belarus.
If you get a chance, check these releases out.

Cool, thanks for the D/L (everyone here uses yousendit, btw); you can rip tracks to MP3 and upload for 7 days or a certain # of downloads.
Also, "If you get a chance, check these releases out" =
Translation: next time you're in the store, buy them. Ok!

No, not at all. That's not what I meant. I just meant support these releases, becuase they are really incredible CDs.
We are Sold Out of ANGST anyway.
