Obscurus Advocam - Verbia Daemonicus

[EricT]

I'll be blunt: I love this album. Obviously, they have a lot of Deathspell Omega influence. I also detect bit of Nachtmystium and possibly Watain in their sound. The vocals, in my opinion, are very exceptional. A nice grasp. Guitars have a nice tone. Half decent production as well. Just a very solid black metal release. Don't know what else to say, as usual. I guess "The next big thing in The French Black Metal scene" would be fitting for a close.

Interesting. I'll try to reply when I've had time to hear it.

Didn't listen it yet, but the cover is horrible example of bad photoshop "art".

You mean a great example.

You mean a great example.

Yeah...I suck at english.

Bad cover anyway, really bad.

I hadn't been impressed with what I had heard from these guys at all up until now. These tracks are pretty good. Nothing I would say is a must-own, but better than I had originally thought. Thanks for posting this!

i agree, plus i have no desire to listen to the album because the description is totally worthless. people need to stop comparing music to other bands and find some way to describe the sound. it's not that hard if you ask me. and no, I am not ripping on you EricT.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I am! Goddamnit, Eric you fucking suck!

 

[EricT]

But in the end, you still want my cock.

 

[EricT]

And I rarely use other bands to describe a bands sound, but I wasn't exactly reviewing the album, I was just trying to give a quick description with as little typing as I could possibly have to do. Easiest way to describe a bands sound with as little work as possible? Name the bands they are obviously influenced by.

But yeah, I see where your coming from MFJ (Was about to say Max, but it would have gotten confusing).

 

[Tranquillian]

This is better than DsO. I can tell from just one listening session. Already placed an order.

 

[EricT]

I wouldn't go THAT far, but its pretty god damn good. Haven't listened to it in a bit, think I'll listen while at work tomorrow.

I tracked down their demo a little bit ago, which is also pretty good, though the sound quality is crap. Have to turn off the subs to listen to it without my room being flooded by massive amounts of constant bass hum.

Edit: Also, funny note to some prior conversation in this thread: Was taking a look at some reviews and descriptions for this the other day, and pretty much every one I read had at some point mentioned "Deathspell Omega, Nachtmystium, or Watain... worship". I'm glad I'm not alone in having trouble describing it.

I described this to someone I was talking to and said that I definitely hear some Watain in it, and then I notice you mentioned them in this thread as well. I think it's the melodies that remind me of Watain.
