Mythological Cold Towers- What can anyone tell me about em?

[Reign in Acai]

Gugs you have one of their albums, so I'm looking in your direction.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

been awhile, but my memory says POOP

 

[Doom]

What an AWFUL name. I would totally judge this band on their name alone.

and i'm interested in them based on the fact that yury a. interviewed them for the convivial hermit, and yury has a bit of a penchant for liking good music most of the time

From the album I heard ("Remoti Medietrranii Hymni" or something...) it was an adventurous blend of blqack metal with a distinct "southern hemisphere" esoteric edge and some doom thrown in between. Interesting but hardly mandatory. The sound was very thin also, not bad, just... barely there.

Hence, the reason for my curiosity.

From BNRmetal-

Though several fine metal bands have originated from Brazil over the years, very few are in the doom genre, but that's where Mythological Cold Towers live. Their 1996 debut, Sphere Of Nebaddon, is a prototypical doomdeath album, in the spirit of early My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost -- it doesn't rate particularly high on the originality scale, but it is a satisfactory release in the genre. On the other hand, their followup, Remoti Meridiani Hymni, is a much more varied and original work, expanding on their doom roots while adding gothic and ethnic influences and a grandiose feel, creating one of the more unique doom releases in some time.

Hmmm thanks Thana, I'll check this sample out tonight!

 

[J.]

did anyone ever check these guys out?

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

Their first album Sphere Of Nebaddon is a solid death/doom album. Their other two albums are more epic, melodic, and not really doomy at all. I haven't listened to their two most recent albums in over a year, but I remember liking The Vanished Pantheon more than the other one.

I'm just listening to 'Remoti Meridani Hymni' for the second time. Result seems much like the first. The style is nice, but I can't really say if the music is especially great or anything. It's not doom. 'Melodic epic dark extreme metal' I guess is what I'd call it. Certainly a style that would seem well-liked around here, so it's probably worth checking out if you get a chance. If I got this when it was released in 2000, I bet I would have found plenty of time to listen to it, and then fallen in love with it. Now, it's a little more difficult.

I have a copy of The Vanished Pantheon that I'd be willing to trade.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
