Relentless Reckless Forever (Out March 8th, 2011)

[<Arcane>]

Dunno, to me it feels pretty fresh and melodic and overall pretty damn good. Sure, the main riff may be a bit too much repeated, but I like it a lot. Btw, have you really figured out the super fast licks on the riffs?? I'd really like a tab if you have figured them out and have time =) Danke schon im vorher!

Don't had the time to tab it yesterday but I'm not working today, it's 7 a.m. and I have nothing better to do than tab this song. So give me a few minutes

Oh, and it's "voraus", not "vorher" and schön instead of schon (or don't you have the ä,ö & ü on your keyboard?)

Listening to it a couple more times, it starts getting okay. But I just don't like how it's thrash with some melodic influences while melodic with thrash influences is something I like a lot more.

I'm almost ready with the tab... ok,... I still need an hour or so but this is by far the most complicated tab I've ever made. This song is full of shitty rythm changes from 4/4 to 3/4 to 5/4 through the whole song! Fuck it!

This is regarding the pre-order....

This American website reads that there is only 300 copies of the RRF vinyl available:

This is the English version of the Levykauppa Äx:

No mention of it being limited. The Finnish version is the same. And just to clear up that they just didn't mark it because they don't here is the pre-order of Burzum's Fallen which clearly states that there are only 3,000 copies:

So what is the deal? Is the vinyl limited edition? Is it only limited to 300 in America?

I asked COB HateWear and they told me 1000 worldwide for the vinyl, and 7000 worldwide for the limited book edition.

Maybe technically, but I like the overall sound on Something Wild and Follow the Reaper a lot more.

 

[Necroraven]

You only like SW????????

All COB albums have one or more good songs, but SW is the only album I can listen from start to finish without skipping any songs.

I don't think we can make a proper assessment without the highest possible quality which we don't have yet. Right now I would say the production sounds a little like a HCDR and FtR with the keys of somewhere between HB and FtR and the actual style of the songs/riffs also between HCDR and FtR. That is after three songs (two really I am not counting WIWI because it really is a song of its own and nothing like the other two we have available atm).

I dont agree with you on that key is something between hatebreeder and FTR
if so, the album would sound exactly like FTR and have that tone greatly missed by COB old stuffs fans and actualy it"s not. I would say keys is of something between HCDR & AYDY

 

[Andry_Wildchild]

I actually like CoTN,but it seems like in every new song there's just a great chorus/solo,or at least in what we've heard so far) and there rest is kind of mediocre.
Love the sweeps at 2:02 they are one of the best thing they have composed since HCDR,as iPot said.

Are you saying, that other than the keys, RRF sounds exactly like the old albums?

Where's the rest of Europe? I know it's a mistake and mine will be shipped on the 4th (so they say) but it looks kinda silly.

Competition Europe

Here's a new competition. It's not the most sought-after prize as the U.S competition, but it's still something

 

[dark5hadow]

who said that ? i mean that keys is in general the instrument that gives to the album its own tone. man do u feel FTR blue atmosphere on RRF?

It'll be available on the 9th here in Estonia.

Yeah, how on earth could someone feel a BLUE atmosphere on a YELLOW album?!?

Ok thanks, yep it looks pretty tricky

And sorry about that, didn't give it too much thought, and about the ¨ we do have it but as an accent, we don't have the keys themselves, I just forgot because I was drunk then.

All COB albums have one or more good songs, but SW is the only album I can listen from start to finish without skipping any songs.

You can't go through HB or FTR or HCD without skipping songs???

So since I'm in Austria now I'll be getting the album in the mailbox on the 4th?? That'd be great!

I don't feel exactly the FTR atmosphere on any other album. Only things that made me see the trees and lakes after FTR are some melodies on Lil' Bloodred Ridin' Hood, the harmony on Bodom Beach Terror, and so far out of RRF the keyboard on Not My Funeral, also SKO seems to have some of that certain something. The cover art colors on RRF match well with the music again. And not all keyboards "sound" blue. For example in my mind the keyboard on Blooddrunk sounds pink and the one on Lobodomy during the drums sounds black and the melody on ODYWC green. I think there are even determined colors on the theory of music but not sure if it has anything to do with this.
