so what's the fuck with maudlin of the well?

[Thanatos]

at first I thought the band were one of the stoned fantasies of Lobo Uivante but then they made a MotW forum in UM and it's instantly occupied by all sorts of wacky people and a moderator with a cool Final Fantasy II nick, so what if we discuss their music (for a change) and somebody tells me what is it about? genre or something?

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

oooh REFRESHING! yes lets talk about music for a minute.

I'd say progressive rock, but not progressive like tech rock. we really span many many genres - in fact we hardly ever actually consider genre in our music. there is definily some metal aspects, but also much more. maybe someone with an outside perspective can help me out here?

I think the most accurate genre-label would be the clunkiest. I mean, clearly motW has doom and death influences, but they're very far from a stock death or grind band, and they're not even close to Khanate-like EXTREME DOOM. I think progressive metal is a decent label. they're not really goth metal...not thrash...they've got solos...no turntable or DJ...some standard metal subject matter, and some very nonstandard subject matter...fuck, I dunno.

 

[Thanatos]

sounds good to me, you have a website with some samples I could check or something? maybe that will clear up a lot of things

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

oh yeah totally! go here .

 

[xfer]

Oh, you've never heard motW? PHILISTINE!

They have an mp3.com site, but you should totally buy the albums Bath/LYBM first, then PSYCHOBELLS.

so when will the biography will be up, and what's with that giant squid on the background? is he maudlin and he's from a well?

 

[SteevL]

I think that the biography has been "coming soon" for about a year now.

I still miss the old page, soley because all the band members were represented by Final Fantasy character sprites.

 

[FuSoYa]

Whoa! I'm glad at least ONE person other than me appreciated that! Thanks Steev!

 

[The Angry Robot]

Genre's are lame. (long live Polka-Death!!) hehe

After you get into MOTW, the other bands you're into will seem weak and one-dimensional.

You have been warned.

 

[The Angry Robot]

oops...except for Opeth of course.
I had to get that in before somebody ripped me a new one.

 

[Thanatos]

well then, I'm not worrying because Opeth is overrated

hey I thought that was rad! we should bring it back...

 

[FuSoYa]

I was thinking of changing the layout of the site when the new album comes out. I like when bands kind of adjust their site to their album. Sam, thoughts?
