Graveland - Spears of heaven (out already)

Is it any good? (see: is it just like the last album, and the one before that?)

 

[Tranquillian]

I don't know, just saw the info on the label website.

 

[~Neurotica]

new Pestilence pretty much kicks asses, tbh....

[Demilich]

The only 2009 metal albums I've heard (I THINK) are Peste Noire and Beherit and they're both good, though I think I like Beherit better

 

[Krilons Resa]

Are you serious? I couldn't get through a single song. It's LOL-Worthy awful.

 

[~Neurotica]

I haven't heard much of their old stuff, so I have nothing to compare with. Maybe that's why.
But I like what I've heard on the latest one.

 

[einride]

yeah the song i heard was extremely bad

it's exactly what you would expect from someone who hates metal but comes back in 2009 for the money (because every other fucking band is already reforming and maybe they can play wacken open air,) heard something on myspace and thinks "oh so this is what death metal sounds like these days, i can copy this"

fuck neo-pestilence

 

[Krilons Resa]

fuck neo-pestilence

 

[lurch70]

I can't believe Blood Feast and Whiplash are putting out new stuff ... I am betting epic fail from both bands.

That new Pestilence song I heard reminded me why I never really liked them. It doesn't sound like much of a departure from the old stuff to me.

awesomeness to the max

 

[Tranquillian]

Did I ever mention that I met KK Warslut at Wacken in 2004, and was introduced by Richard Mills from Grand Belial's Key?

I am masturbating right now.

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

I haven't heard much of their old stuff, so I have nothing to compare with.

I hate when people go into listening to an album with expectations. Just listen to the fucking music. It sounds good? It is good. Just because a band releases something less amazing doesn't mean it's instantly terrible.


Btw, you wouldn't be able to compare old to new in any fashion either way.

Umm... Yeah... I know what you mean... But for example - people who appreciate classic Metallica don't really like their newer stuff (mostly after L and R), because they did change (though, I still like that newer shit). And if you have listened to older certain band's releases, or follow their music career from their start - it's pretty much impossible to not to compare their latest stuff with previous... because if something actually changes - you always compare to what it was like before changes... right? It's normal, I guess... And if you liked them that way but they've completely changed - chances are low that you're gonna like it too... *shrug*
And not many bands have changed to better with years, tbh...

Taken from Season Of Mist's website:

Upcoming release: "Microcosmos" (CD digipak and limited box set)
Release date: June 22nd, US July 14th

Season of Mist's Underground Activists division will see its fifth release unleashed on June 22nd. Here are the artwork and tracklisting of DRUDKH's new album "Microcosmos":

1. Минулі Дні / Days That Passed
2. Далекий Крик Журавлів / Distant Cries Of Cranes
3. Декаданс / Decadence
4. Ars Poetica
5. Все, Що Не Сказано Раніше / Everything Unsaid Before
6. Вдовина Скорбота / Widow's Grief

The fans will notice that the nocturnal landscapes as well as colours of the layout are a bit unusual for the band, but perfectly fit with the aura of the album.

 

[J.]

that's purdy

 

[Reign in Acai]

New D666 and Drudkh releases on the same date. :Smokin:


In regards to new Pestilence, simply ghastly dallin'.
