Get Echoes From The Past and Ominous Message Of Brutality that I Hate released. Echoes has their Misanthropy EP and Golem LP, Ominus has Urm The Mad LP and Leviathan's Desire EP.

Ah, didn't realise they had full albums on. Fair enough. Which is their best?

 

[skeptik]

Echoes is the better bet. Stronger material, and it's just recently been repressed, so it'll probably be easier to find than the other one.

I dont know if anyone has already said this or not but, I reccomend Municipal Waste if you are into D.R.I. 80's thrash metal. Their shows are never a let down.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Does anybody know any good death metal along the lines of late-era Death and Necrophagist?

 

[JessMadness]

Dude, listen to Battlemaster.
www.myspace.com/battlemaster

they are a really good death metal local band. tell me what yah think.

 

[Hatebreeder]

^ Sampled it and am loving it. Can I get the "Cosmic Neutrality" demo in a store somewhere?

 

[JessMadness]

uhm, they have an online distro, or if you have an account on myspace you can just message them.

they put on a sweet show also.

I have two requests.

1. Stoner doom and/or Stoner metal similar to Wall of Sleep
2. Doom metal with "gang choruses" similar to the one in Reverend Bizarre - Doom Over The World.

I've listened to Portal after reading some enthusiastic reviews of Seepia. Disappointing.

Disapointing that so many people think this.

Honestly, give it another spin. These things take TIME.

 

[Hatebreeder]

How is Dark Tranquility's "Character"?

 

[Zephyrus]

Great, but not their best. Don't compare it to their earlier opuses like The Gallery and The Mind's I.

I guess I'll pick up The Mind's I first, then.

 

[Zephyrus]

Indeed, you'll love it.

 

[Hatebreeder]

How does it compare with The Gallery in terms of overall sound?

 

[skeptik]

You should start with Skydancer/Of Chaos And Eternal Night.
