Reverend Bizarre

[Nate The Great]

Real doom from Finland. Anybody know anything about them/him/whatever? Anybody? Anybody? I'm thinking of getting some. Yes . . . yes . . . I think I will!

 

[J.]

what kind of doom? The sludge fuzz stuff? Fluffy doom like My Dying Bride? Awesome funeral doom?

 

[HarmonyDies....]

I heard they are like Witchfinder General or Forest-Era Cathedral, I might be confusing them with something else.

 

[J.]

ah, so we're talking traditional stoner doom?

 

[HarmonyDies....]

I guess so.

From Doom Metal:

This Reverend preaches the doom gospel in a most convincing way. Slow and heavy traditional doom with dramatic vocals following in the footsteps of bands like St. Vitus, The Obssessed and of course Black Sabbath (without becoming borderline stoner!). The Reverend sure knows how to preach their gospel: ".. puritans are awake, the crusade against trendy stoner shit goes ever on. Doom over the World!" I guess all we can add is an "Amen brother"?

I love www.doom-metal.com. That's where I found out about Winter, Dusk, Pantheist and more after Erik rekindled my interest in the darker doom bands like Skepticism, Esoteric, and Evoken.

I'll go ahead an order their latest 70 minute EP, and I'll let everybody know my thoughts.

Hohohoho.....Harbinger of Metal is fucking brilliant. It's true classic doom, but slowed down and fuzzed up. Even the bass is slightly distorted. Vocals have that late 70's flavor vibrato with a touch of reverb. Overall, it's a complete wall of sound, a total barrage of bass-heavy riffs coming out your speakers. The strings are tuned so low, they hang from the fretboard.

^ What he said... the Terrorizer feature I saw on them compared them to Warning. I just got the new EP *snigger... 70 minute EP... those crazy Finns* the other day, and I'm loving it so far.

 

[J.]

how can an EP be 70 minutes? does this mean Crimson and Light of Day, Day of Darkness are EPs? I'm at a loss here....

[Reign in Acai]

I don't own a single album by these yentas. I need to pick some up through trade or something. If you don't like them, hit me up.

 

[J.]

My fucking favorite band

is it worth buying in the rectory re-issue for the bonus CD, if i already own the original?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Imo, yes it is. It's like another album. Full of great songs.
