NOEKK - those gosh darn EMPYRIUM boys are at it again!

The fact that this band comes from Empyrium members, is a huge reason for me to ignore it.
What are their relation to "hippie metal" anywaY? Hippie Metal = PSYCHOTIC WALTZ, ONLY AND ONLY, FOREVER AND EVER.
CIrcUlus rule the world with a flowery fist.

Circulus sounds like Led Zeppelin at a renaissance fair and I like it.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

More like a happier and more jolly version of Comus, i would say.

I think it's the vocals that I get a Zeppelin vibe from... it could just be a general early-70s vibe... I will probably buy the album eventually. Like Max said in the other thread, the cover art doesn't hurt either

Then again, i've only heard 1 song from the full length + the one from their split with Witchcraft.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

First song in the album that is, the more "dance in a feast" one too. The album is pretty diverse, expect some more female vocals too (greatly influenced by Grace Slick).

ok if you're gonna continue with the boner-inducing descriptions i'm gonna have to hear some more samples or something

I bought some Psychotic Waltz for dirt cheap at the last ProgPower and then just put it away. Maybe it's time for it to come off the shelf...

Eh, it needs its own thread

This stuff is sooooooooooooooooooooo good. I was wrong. Oh so wrong. The Water Sprite is up there with the finest Empyrium for me. SO FUCKING GOOD.

Also the first Empyrium album is pretty damn good. It had too many gayboards to me at first but no, it's awesome.

Witchcraft are a lot of fun. I wish they would rock out more though, maybe they be too stoned for volume.

Finally, WTF @ my drunk driving plans in 2005. Idiot.
