Releases 2009!

[Gadlor]

I'm listening to Anubis Gate's "The Detached" right now. Pretty solid progressive stuff - similar to Circus Maximus whom I love with all my body.

also: super useful list for all of us...

I've never really been able to get into doom. Except maybe Forest of Shadows (but I don't know if that even counts) / November's Doom / While Heaven Wept. Actually I don't know if any of those count.

Is there somewhere I should start?

PS. Has anyone heard the Crimfall CD hither? It's kind of silly. Epic folky metal but with less melodicness than you'd normally expect, I think.
Cloudkicker, too - http://cloudkicker.uk.googlepages.com/ instrumental wacky metal, kind of like Meshuggah except you don't feel like your skull caved in afterwards. (both albums are free to download)

Isis isn't doom, they're post rock/metal (see God Is An Astronaut, Red Sparowes, Explosions In The Sky, Cult Of Luna, Neurosis, Intronaut, some Mastodon etc). I actually personally never got into them until this new CD which I reeaaally dig. The bands Bleak Eyes listed are sweet plus My Dying Bride, oldschool Paradise Lost, Candlemass. Stoner/doom like Electric Wizard and Sleep are also win.

I had presumed that he was referring to Candlemass, but I could be wrong.

It took me years of being into metal for doom to grow on me. And it started with some of the doomish/not-really-doom bands listed above. I'm still not as into it as I am some other genres, but I am starting to get really into sludge as of recent. Baroness especially.

 

[Gadlor]

Right. I was referring to Candlemass. I'm fairly familiar with Isis.

I have a Rapture and a Daylight Dies release. I think, in general, it has too much of a downer effect on my mood for me to really enjoy it (when you're like 'bluhbluhbluh life sux ' afterwards, it's not really worth it).

I think I've been listening to metal for about 9 years now...I guess if I don't like doom now, I'm probably not going to like it.

Don't think of Candlemass in the same light as Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. Yes there are similarities, but Candlemass leans more towards the traditional heavy metal vibe. Dio-era Sabbath is without a doubt Candlemass' biggest influence. The new CD is awesome because of it's crushing riffs and infectious as fuck tunes.

Although to be fair, I don't like any of the Candlemass CDs after Nightfall with the exception of this new one.

Neige, you Frenchie bastard, you've done it again!

I cannot get enough of this one!
Even better than Alcest.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

It's different from Alcest... I don't think I can even compare the two... hah. Neige is a damn genius, I'm excited for what the future holds for him. I really hope he continues to push musical boundaries.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

i might as well make the observation that the logo is illegible and ask what the band/album is.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Amesoeurs - S/T

I listened to the full length once tonight, probably run it again a little later. It is very nice. But man, their EP is great too.

[AeonicSlumber]

It's a hybrid of genres. Black metal, indie rock, some punk rock, some goth rock a la The Cure, some post rock.


Thanx gaddy for reminding me that there's a new Orphaned Land CD coming out. Can't wait!

How could you forget the mighty Nevermore?

 

[AeonicSlumber]

As far as I know, there's not gonna be a NM album this year. Band hasn't even entered the studio. There are a few bands mentioned in this thread that have me questioning as well (Ensiferum, Maiden...?! No way...).

 

[Bleak Eyes]

I definitely did hear that Maiden was putting a new album out this year.

 

[ShadowCreator]

I don't think Agalloch will have anything out this year either. Maybe next year...
I am syked for about 3 of those albums listed and interested in like 3 more.

The preview for the new Devin Townsend album didn't sound very interesting

 

[AeonicSlumber]

The last word on the new album, at least from interviews, is that they are still writing it. I doubt it will be out this year mang.

Oh I disagree, haha, it totally sounded like some of his best stuff yet imo.
