THE 3RD AND THE MORTAL - Tears Laid in Earth

[Dick Sirloin]

Someone tell me about it.

 

[Erik]

It's cool. Barely metal at all, except a few songs.

 

[Erik]

MP3's

Lengsel (no metal, only real good female vocals)

Death-Hymn (as metal as this band gets I guess -- might appeal to fans of Ved Buens Ende, In the Woods... and such)

[Dick Sirloin]

Thanks. Will listen to as soon as the hippy rock is over

 

[Papa Josh]

That album is pretty good... some of their later shit the female vocalist damn near borders on annoying.

 

[Erik]

The later works (except the EP that came directly after this album) all have a different female vocalist, not Kari Rueslåtten

 

[Dick Sirloin]

For some reason I always thought they were neo-folk or something like Blackmore's Night.

 

[Jim LotFP]

Kari Rueslåtten

This woman used to have the bestest awesomest hair ever. *sigh sigh flutter flutter*

I still have a copy of her self-released, post-3rd demo recordings.

 

[Erik]

i know a girl with awesomer hair (hi there i wonder if you're reading this)

 

[snow2fall]

If you like Kari's voice, I'd recommend checking out her solo works.

Oh, she has some solo stuff? Cool.

Tears Laid in Earth and Sorrow (the EP after it), are the only ones I like by them. Got a little too mellow after that. But those two are fantastic releases, doom-laden heavyish goth rock/metal.

 

[Erik]

Sorrow is the EP before TLiE

Nightswan is the EP after TLiE

DEFINITE "HEart of the Ages" vibe to this track. Love the twin guitars. The drum sound is "spacey" and kinda cool. The reverbed clean guitar strumming actually sounds angelic at times. Actually, I'm not sure if this is not closer to "Strange in Stereo" than "HEart." Especially on the outro. 8/10 song on first listen

 

[Demilich]

I like this first track with the bass/female vocals... she has a very nice voice!

This album appeared in the doom special Terrorizer are currently running. This was listed as gothic doom or some shit.

Oh yeah... oops.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

This album appeared in the doom special Terrorizer are currently running. This was listed as gothic doom or some shit.

That's what inspired me to hear it. Also: Sevenchurch? Paramecium? Dream Death?

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Paramaecium are christians, ignore them

So are Trouble

EDIT: I wouldn't call this doom either. More just plain goth metal

 

[snow2fall]

Oh, she has some solo stuff? Cool.

Yup. Not recommended for metal purists, this is (omg!)pop music:

Leaving

Denial

Exile

From her album Pilot.
