Heh I was fine with his growls, but didn't really like the cleans so much. Otherwise, this is indeed pretty good. I wouldn't say all that original, but the man is certainly very good at what he does. It seems definitely worth a download of the whole album, perhaps an actual purchase.
Edit: On further listen I've decided that the cleans fit the acoustic passages very well. The track "From Below" kind of reminds me of a slower Daylight Dies with better vocals and acoustic passages. Very good recommendation, I'd say.

Who knows. I'm just not immediately friendly to growls in doom. Perhaps they grow on me at some point.
Yeah, it's obviously nothing groundbreaking, but rather harkens back to the days of old with Anathema and maybe even a little Empyrium. The clean vox are a little Mike Ackerfeldt-y, which I dig.
But then again, I don't want anything groundbreaking. I've been waiting years for an album like this. Daylight Dies is a great band, but there was always something missing.

The album is alright, but not worthy of the high amounts of hype its received. Solid, but nothing that makes it break away from the endless amounts of other albums in the genre.
I just don't see that. Most of the other doom bands that I know of are just boring, like Solitude Aeturnus. Their latest album is ok, but the first song is really the only one that I enjoy. I think it's the melodies of this album that really stick with me. Many bands are lacking in that these days.

Yeah, I know.
Their singer is awesome, but their compositions are seriously lacking in anything memorable, save one or two songs. However, those one or two are phenomenal, I'll give 'em that.
They seem like they're doom just for the sake of being doom. Ok, they've got tenure and history in the doom scene...whatever.
Anathema's worst is better than SA's best.

Scent of Death owns me. That one song is better than all of their others put together.
The 9th Day: Awakening has a great riff, though. I love playing that song.

Comparing Solitude Aeturnus to The Fall of Every Season is like comparing apples to oranges. 2 different styles of doom.
Kind of like comparing Paramaecium to Pentagram. If you catch where I'm coming from.

You're right. I was just making the point that my style of doom is more in line with TFOES, and that that particular sub-genre is lacking these days.

Do you know what tuning 9th Day Awakening is in? I was gonna learn it but when I looked at SA's setlist it said downtuned next to it.
It's in C. I started to play it in B and realized that it's in C because of the strange patterns. Instead of the typical E minor headbanging chord shape that accompanies 99% of all metal, I was playing the chug-a-chug part as a power chord instead of the E minor chord shape due to having to play it half a step higher on the neck. You can do both, actually. It's just more comfortable to tune the guitar to C instead of B.
C standard, actually. I hate drop tunings.

C is awesome. Try it, I think you'll really like it. It's not too low and not too high. Not really a thrash tuning...more of a doom/death metal tuning.
