RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD

[Crimson Velvet]

Cold Steel is bloody excellent! The first two songs are perhaps the most difficult ones to get into, but after that, it's all headbanging goodness!

I DON'T NEED YOUR PESSIMISM
I BELIEVE NIHILISM!!!



Also!

There are those who will come
to watch YOU DIE
To stand around your funeral PYRE!
ANd they'll laugh as you marched
INTO YOUR DEATH!!!
And they dance as the noose
is put AROUND YOUR NEEEECK!!!!

Genesis to Genocide & I am the Wargod are their best imo. But it's not like they wrote any bad songs on UtW and PR. Terror Abraxas I never really go into THAT much. Solid, but meh.

Also, it's like you were saying the other day - some bands you just dont feel the need to check out other albums because you are quite content with what you are already listening to. I think this applies for Cold Steel for me. I've got the same problem with Agalloch and Drudkh at the moment. I am supposed to be reviewing both of the new releases, but I seriously cbf'd. They seem to be decent releases from the limited listening I have given each, but I effectively don't care at this point in time. I'm happier listening to Pale Folklore or Autumn Aurora for the n-teenth time.

I just got Akercocke-Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone, I must say, although im only a couple tracks in, that it is great so far, better than Choronzon.

Not saying much considering Choronzon is a complete pile of rubbish...

Terror Abraxas > Cold Steel > Phoenix


Havent heard Unchain The Wolves yet...I could never get into Phoenix Rising though. Dont ask me why.

 

[skeptik]

Unchain The Wolves is massively overrated.

[insert funny retort, because you're clearly wrong but I'm not very clever]

Booya.

Reccomendation of the day:

 

[skeptik]

That's a weird album. Most of it is really fucking good, and then there's a couple of completely retarded songs that don't even feel like the same band.

 

[Krilons Resa]

That's a weird album. Most of it is really fucking good, and then there's a couple of completely retarded songs that don't even feel like the same band.

Which songs?

 

[skeptik]

The slow ones?

 

[Krilons Resa]

The slow ones?

Naa man. That's what I thought you were gonna mention. They go along with the storyline. Did you just dl it or have the actual item and read along with it? If you just dl it, I can see where you are coming from.

 

[skeptik]

I haven't been compelled by it enough to buy it, to be honest, but even so, chances are I wouldn't have read the lyrics anyway.

I agree. I usually end up listening to that CD two times in a row because it's over before I want it to be. Phoenix is still my fav though.

 

[byrne]

Unchain The Wolves is massively overrated.

not really. most people prefer phoenix rising (as evidenced by this thread). unchain the wolves is one of the greatest releases of all time and epitomises heavy metal.

 

[skeptik]

Most people that I talk to hail Unchain The Wolves as one of the greatest things ever, and seeing as how it's not, it's overrated.

Phoenix Rising > Cold Steel... > Unchain the Wolves > Terror Abraxas (only because its short) > Most other metal

 

[Noble Viking]

I recommend

Kotipelto - Coldness

Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) - Vocals
Janne Warman (Children of Bodom) - Keys
Michael Romeo (Symphony X) - Guitar
Drummer from Thunderstone
Jari Kainulainen (ex-Stratovarius) - Bass

 

[skeptik]

Why would you recommend that?

 

[byrne]

you need a new definition of overrated. try venom - black metal on for size.

 

[Nico]

Which of these am I better off getting?

Graveland "Carpathian Wolves"
Graveland "Memory and Destiny"
