this band is great, kinda reminds me of white suns

 

[Internally Deformed]

These guys sound exactly like Mastodon.

So good! It's almost impossible to find for anything even resembling a reasonable price. Definitely needs a reissue.

 

[Internally Deformed]

Those are the guys that morphed into Deathspell Omega right? I remember liking their stuff, need to give it a second listen.

 

[Phylactery]

Some of the members of DsO were in Hirilorn yes. That Hirilorn album is better than anything Deathspell have done imo.

Most of them, yeah. Deathspell Omega is pretty cool, so I look forward to something that exceeds their later work.

 

[Phylactery]

You might be disappointed then as I'm not really a fan of later DsO. I like Inquisitors of Satan and I think Si Monumentum is good but far too long. Definitely some sophisticated use of melody on the album, though.

 

[Internally Deformed]

My favourite is Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum, but I may be a little biased towards it, as it was the first avant-garde metal release I was exposed to. Blew me away at the time, but I haven't listen to deathspell with much regularity since. It's definitely a unique sound they've adopted, which is what gives it the edge over the early albums IMO (black metal being beset by mimicry).

Care to post an example?

Not really, I tend to rely on common sense in these matters. If further evidence is required I will get back to you when non-inebriated.

What does common sense have to do with wanting an example of a song by Mastodon that sounds like Mothwind?

I'm genuinely interested because if it's true I'll have to change my opinion on the former, but I'm not about to go wading through a band's works of whom I'm not a fan.

In the spirit of open minded re-appraisal:

 

[CiG]

That song wasn't half bad, but I don't really hear the similarity beyond both bands existing under the vague progressive metal tag.

Mothwind is blatantly more inspired by traditional heavy metal, Mastodon is rather more inspired by sludge, post-rock, post-metal on top of the usual.

There's also quite a big difference in both vocal delivery and vocal intention. Mastodon want to remain heavy and potentially aggressive at all times. That's the sludge thing.
