This band destroys I found out about them on this forum... and though I wasn't blown away by The Gathering Wilderness (I thought it was good, but not amazing), I just listened to some of Spirit the Earth Aflame and I absolutely love it... I can easily see this being one of my favorite albums in my collection... it just sounds so fresh and mezmerizing, folky, but not in a cliched way. Are their other albums this good? Discuss this great band

EDIT: Was STEA released on vinyl?

I have The Gathering Wilderness, i think it's great. I really like the singer and the mood on that record. Good band.

I love em'. They're like a modern Irish Bathory. That's what they remind me of.

Which album should i get???

 

[unknown]

One of my all time favorite bands. You might want to check out Nemtheanga's other band, Void of Silence. Human Antithesis is an excellent cd.

 

[Hell Mike]

ALL.

Spirit the Earth Aflame was my first though and is still my favourite so it obviously works.

 

[unknown]

A Journey's End is highly underrated in my opinion. It's got some pretty awesome fucking songs on there.

but yeah...get em all

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

thanks for the tips, i'll check 'em out

 

[Scourge of Malice]

no ones talking about Storm before calm? That album is amazing.

 

[Death Aflame]

I remember when everyone was pissing themselves over The Gathering Wilderness here not too long ago. My opinion hasn't changed, its mediocre. The main problems are that its too repetitive (even for minimalistic music) and the vocals were annoying for the most part. Good desolate atmosphere though.

I have yet to check out their older shit, perhaps I should sooner rather than later.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

"Storm Before Calm" has their greatest song, "Sons of the Morrigan"!

 

[Susperia]

So far I still like The Gathering Wilderness moreso than Spirit the Earth Aflame.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

good band!

[Life Sucks]

All their albums are great. I would rank them in this order:

1. Spirit the Earth Aflame
2. The Gathering Wilderness
3. Storm Before Calm
4. A Journey's End
5. Imrama

i havent listened to all their albums in great detail, other than the gathering wilderness. i think the gathering wilderness is the most spectacularly refreshing album ive heard in years. it is totally different to anything else i listen to and is absolutely brilliant.

That's silly, it's a great voice.
