Dark Angel - We Have Arrived

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Some Anthrax similarities, but with much much better drumming.

 

[The Butt]

Just listening to a few tracks from Dystopia now actually. And sorry all, but I really don't dig it. More focus on flashy arpeggiated sweep leads than memorable riffs and arrangements. Not a fan.

Love me some October Rust.

I missed the brief discussion of Type O so I'm going to throw my two cents in here.

Yes, 'October Rust' is my second favourite album of all time. It still holds up today, of course, but it also has a lot of nostalgia for me from back in 1996 when I first got it as a 16 year old. My friend and I were amazed. It was a great little mini-era, 1996. My Dying Bride, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Amorphis and Type O Negative were all still newish and at their arguable best and dark/atmospheric music was all the rage for me and my buddy.

Anyway, 'October Rust' has that perfect element of romance and atmosphere, with less of the joking around that I always found a little annoying from Type O. That's why, perhaps controversially, my favourite version of 'Bloody Kisses' is the digipak re-release with the light-hearted material removed (and the cover has the two women from the original cover kissing). Again, on 'October Rust' the slow, gothic songs like 'Love you to Death', 'Wolfmoon' and 'Red Water (Christmas Mourning) are just untouchable. The latter being one of the best doom/gothic songs of all time and it's about Christmas without being corny. That's a stroke of genius. The element of nature is amazing too, with 'Green Man' and the almighty 'Haunted' that ends the album perfectly giving a real sense of environmental beauty.

'World Coming Down' was a very good album but a little less of that foresty atmosphere of 'October Rust'. It's more urban, and that doesn't rock my boat in the same way. It was also more about Peter's own depression and less about falling in love with girls, which again I find less endearing. It's certainly a great album though.

After that, unfortunately things get sillier and sillier, culminating in 'Dead Again' which is one of the worst albums I've heard. The same friend I mentioned earlier and I had a ritual burning of it to remove it from the earth. So in a way, the two albums that are less like anything else Peter Steele has done - 'Bloody Kisses' and 'October Rust' - are by far the ones I love the most.

I thought World Coming Down was better than Bloody Kisses, fyi. Finally listened to it last night.
The whole 70+ minutes album length thing is getting very old very quick though.

This album is pretty awesome.

Wow, is it really that hard to just fuckin' type out the titles of the albums you guys post? Not everyone that frequents this sight are regulars who know the name of every single album we post.

ABBATH - S/T
