Tenhi

[benny]

Hi

i'm new here but have been listening to Opeth for a little over a year now. Anyway has any of you heard this band? I have heard a few songs and can't seem to find their cd's anywhere. If you have any information where I could pick up anything by these guys it would be much appreciated!

later,

frost

well it's hard to find their cd here in a local music store in america i think. i order all my stuff at www.amazon.com, maybe people can find cheaper internet place to order cd too

 

[apostlentriumph]

Opeth is one of the best band in the death metal scene actually. not sure if i should call it death.

 

[benny]

I found a cd of theirs at www.shiva-int.com, I think there is another though. Opeth is the best band period, they are my favorite.

Ah! Tenhi are really great! They have released a MCD called Hallavedet and a full-length album called Kauan. I have them both, very good indeed. Recommended for all lovers of acoustic tragic/melancholic folk. A new MCD has just been released btw, it's called airut:ciwi. Haven't bought that yet though so I can't give you my opinions on it.

Check out their label's homepage - http://www.prophecyproductions.de/
you can order all the cds from there.

I went to that site, although I still don't know what a DM is? Anyway there are a lot of bands on that site I have never even heard of. Any recomendations Nevyn?

 

[Nevyn]

DM is short for Deutsche Mark. Germany's currency. =)

They have some good artists, and some crappy. *hehe* Or it could just be the different-musical-taste-syndrom...
I haven't heard all of them, but I recommend the following: (in order of appearance):
Empyrium
Tenhi
Sun of the Sleepless
In The Woods...
Leakh
Naervaer

There are some mp3:s on the site, check'em out. Especielly Empyrium and Tenhi. Hope you find something you like...

 

[benny]

Thanks for your help Nevyn! Empyrium is awesome I have "Songs of Moors and Misty Fields" it's a great album, haven't heard "Where at Night...." yet, I will put it on my "to get" list.

 

[Nevyn]

"Where at Night...." is different from the two first Empyrium albums in the way that it is 100% acoustic and has no harsh vocals. Still very good and emotional music though. If you like Tenhi and Ulver's "Kvedssanger", it deserves a place high on your "to get" list. =)

 

[benny]

Wow I had no clue it was all acoustic and has clean vocals. I would of bought it a long time ago if I would of known this probably. Ulver-Kvedssanger is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

 

[Nevyn]

Yep, Kveldssanger is a very beautiful album. Perfect to stress down to when you've had a busy day. The same goes for Empyriums "Where at night...".

 

[benny]

Yeah I still can't believe the same band did Nattens Madrigal right after Kveldssanger, Ulver are one of the only bands that I like who experiment with music. They are incredible.

 

[Nevyn]

Yes, talk about not being caught forever in the same genre! I'm really impressed by their capacity to write such (good and) diverse music.

What do you think of Metamorphosis? I like it too, even tough it's not even close to metal... hehe. But I didn't like the William Blake-album very much. It was i little well... a little too much for me.

Anyone heard the new album? Don't remember its name.

 

[benny]

Yeah Perdition City is a great album, I love the jazzy feeling on a couple of songs, but like Gotham said there is very little singing. Thats a pretty big downfall I was hoping Garm would sing more but who knows maybe the next album. Metamorphosis took a while to get used to haha. I love it now days, but I like "Themes...." a lot more.

 

[Nevyn]

I've listened to Perdition City now and sure - it's a good album. But hmmm... i don't mean this in a bad way, but it feels a little to much like background music to me. I liked the jazzy stuffs.. and the trip-hop rythems... but.. hmm... it didn't get to my heart. Maybe it takes some time to get into, but right now I have other albums to buy.... =)

But still, it's very intresting to see how Ulver develops!

 

[benny]

Well I was informed of a band called Evereve last night and after listening to a few mp3's, fantastic band. Doomy and depressing, anyone heard this band?
