Orthrelm - OV (Epitome of challenging music)

[TartanLlama]

45 minute long song, guitar and drums only.
Contains about 10 riffs, each repeated for 7-8 minutes.
All done in one take. Seriously.
I can't tell if I like it or not yet...
The whole song is up on youtube, if you can get through the whole thing, you probably deserve a cookie.

 

[unknown]

yup. that's pretty annoying

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's cool, but not the epitome of challenging music.

 

[TartanLlama]

It was a hyperbole

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I read a review of this album a long while back & it was the most humorous thing I have ever read in my life. God, it sounds so shitty. Challenging & different are great, but not this crap. This is "lookatmeI'msimplyuniquebylisteningtoitn00000b" music if I've ever heard it.

 

[tagradh]

So challenging now means shit?

Hah, I see your point. But you should see some of the support the album gets from some people. This is balanced and then tipped straight over by the negative reviews though . The stuff on metal archives about this band is genius.

Most people could perceive it this way, and that's exactly why it's challenging; it challenges notions of quality and aesthetic by being specifically off-putting.

 

[Cythraul]

Yeah, this stuff is challenging in the sense that it's a challenge to endure its absolute shittiness.

Hey, I got nothing about people who like, but I absolutely despise the work Mick Barr has done.

 

[Omni]

I realize this is artistic and whatever, but it's retarded.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

In other news, Mick Barr and friends' new project Krallice (black metal) is fucking fantastic.

 

[Therma lobsterdore]

I'll second that, Krallice's debut album is great. I actually quite liked OV for the first ten minutes, but couldn't take any more than that and I doubt I'll listen to it ever again, thats a pretty grim assessment really.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

I thought it was pretty sweet.

I'd like to see them live.

EDIT: Or maybe subscribe to their newsletter
