The "Are These Guys Any Good" Thread

[NAD]

CROSS POST!!! Because it's funny that these two threads have identical names, quotes and all.

Dead Can Dance
Coil

I know nothing about either. No wait, I know the one group is called Dead Can Dance, and the other is called................ Coil. Okay that's all I know. Hepp me, hepp me pleeze.

 

[no country for old wainds]

DCD are a brilliant neoclassical minimalist medieval folk world music band tbh.

"Aion" is my favourite by them.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

yep Dead Can Dance are godz, though all the words Guardian used cant really describe their awesome-ness, check out "The Serpent's Egg", and "Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun", or download "Xavier" to be fully addicted.

 

[J.]

aren't DCD comparable to Dargaard and Die Verbannten Kinder Evas?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

not even in a black adder joke

 

[Black Winter Day]

Dammit, I just repiled to this in the "other" thread!!!

"neoclassical minimalist medieval folk world music"

Wow. Okay I'll probably d/l some first, but that sounds pretty interesting.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Dammit, just say "Renaissance Fair" music and get it over with!

One Inch Man Download "xavier" Now Do It Yes

Okay I Will When I Return Home Where My eMule is (no d/l at work, they say NO! NO! STOP IT! NO!)

Cenotaph
Golem
Before God

 

[NAD]

Golem are pretty cool, they sound like Morbid Angel on the immediate surface but that comparison disappears the more you listen. Classical music influences, you could call them involved death metal I guess.

 

[matt99_crew]

I really like Golem's Dreamweaver. Like OIM said, there's a lot to it. Cenotaph doesn't do much for me.

 

[J.]

i remember reading that if you like early At the Gates, you'll like some of Cenotaph's works.

 

[J.]

Menhir?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Clandestine Blaze?

 

[Doomwatcher]

Can anyone share opinions on these?

Eucharist
Fullmoon
Woods of Belial
Winter

Cenotaph

Their debut The Gloomy Reflections of Our Hidden Sorrows is old-school style brutal death metal with hints melody that echos Swedish DM. Riding Our Black Oceans is similar to early At The Gates with it's use of internal melody.

Clandestine Blaze?

I'm only familiar with their split with Deathspell Omega but I've heard that all their material is pretty much the same. If you've heard DSO's latest you know what to expect lyricswise, low and powerful growls. Musically it's slow paced black metal with monotonous riffing with a great quite sorrowful atmosphere at times, I can't think of any fair comparisons atm though.
I personally enjoy it and have been considering getting some more material, if that's any help :]

That sounds cool. I just ordered "Fist of the Northern Destroyer" because the title sounds like it might be fun.
