[Demilich]

I'll take it if you want somethign I have to trade! I think i traded my Aes Dana cd, but you probably have that already anyways. Uhh, i'll make a list, but will you hold on to it for a day or two in case i'm lazy?

 

[J.]

[Demilich]

cheers, J!

 

[E-bortion]

Yes, Christmas and Seminar III are fucking killer

 

[Demonspell]

also, as I recall the only other previously existing old man gloom thread was one of Nate's titled: "OMG omg I've been a bad boy"

I distinctly remember a "kicks my dick in" thread about them, but that could have been one of hundreds of bands he's stained his trousers raving about...

 

[Nate The Great]

OMG are probably the best band that has ever existed . . . including the BeatleZZZZZZZZZZ.

 

[NAD]

christmas is fucking stellar, and the liner notes were a great bit of fun to read.

[NAD]

dude that list is HILARIOUS. i want a shirt with that on it.

 

[JayKeeley]

trade me some Gehenna or SKyclad or Doomsword.

Why would you want Doomsword? !

Speaking of which, I must listen to Thunderstorm this weekend. I've been missing them as of late.

OMG are probably the best band that has ever existed . . . including the BeatleZZZZZZZZZZ.

Sometimes it takes a long time to realize it, but I think you're really onto something here. Been listening to OMG pretty nonstop lately, I become more and more amazed with every listen.

Stump.

 

[Demonspell]

So far the only track by them that has really captured me has been the three-part instrumental at the end of Christmas, along with the other drone-ish tracks to a lesser extent. On a related note, I need to get the MGR album (Isis guitarist doing solo soundscapes).

 

[Necro Joe]

I fucking love this band. Christmas and Zozobra rule my world.

 

[J.]

omg are one of those bands where i can see why people love 'em and i wish i could, but noise does not equal music. SEE The Grey EP.

ill take Turner's day job over OMG.

 

[NAD]

New one out. It's called NO which makes a good album title methinks. Never thought another would come out, happy it's here.

It's dark, heavy, and weird. So far I like it. Because, much like my morning dump, I also enjoy my music dark, heavy, and weird.

EDIT: Holy fuck the song Rats is x1.21 gigawatts.

Guess what, assholes. The Ape Of God is two entirely different albums. If you downloaded some leaked shit, you don't have either. You have some bogus version we gave to press, cuz we knew those jerks would leak it (if you reviewed that fake record positively, thank you. We're just THAT good).
We will always trick you.
We will always trick you.
We will always trick you.

While the promo version's music was well received, many journalists and music critics were upset or angry that the band released a "fake" version of The Ape of God albums. Guitarist Nate Newton said that some journalists felt that Old Man Gloom had "besmirched their profession" and also said that: "People either love [the joke] or they're fucking angry. It was just an idea that came up and we thought, 'Yeah that's funny. Let's do that.' I had no idea people would be so angry." Adrien Begrand of the American heavy metal magazine Decibel was one such journalist, and in a round-up of new album releases for November 2014 said: "I'd been thoroughly digging what I was hearing, but when the band revealed that the promo was merely a fake in order to hoodwink writers and weed out leakers, I didn't appreciate being jerked around and having my precious time wasted by a bunch of smug musicians who think they're being funny. Besides, Profound Lore uses [the online music promo software] Haulix, nearly all metal labels use Haulix, and with that promo platform a band or label can easily track down the person responsible for an album leak. The 'fake promo' idea might have been clever a decade ago, but not in 2014."

No no, it is fucking HILARIOUS, and one more reason why most music reviews are god damn useless.

These albums are incredible, in particular the green one. So good, they make me excited about new heavy music.
