The best doom album since The Silent Enigma

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

i use drop c for awesome epicness.

 

[Dead Winter]

I know it sounds stupid, but I play like crap with drop tunings. It feels too easy and I don't know what to do with the rest of my fingers, so I end up fucking it up. I think I'm a savant.

I have to use standard tuning, even if I have to change the strings to make the bridge float evenly. That's why I have 5 guitars, each in different tunings, each with different string gauges. I need one or two more for some flat tunings and I'll be set.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I like the chords you can make with drop tuning that are reaaally hard to do in standard.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I always end up spamming prog chords in drop tunings because one finger powerchords feel wrong.

Then I think damnit I'm using too much of these chords.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah I use those more than normal power chords too when i drop, which is most of the time... fun one to do is something like

7
5
4

Theres probably a name for that sort of chord, but fuck if i know.

 

[Dead Winter]

My favorite chord:

7
5
3

Play it anywhere on the fretboard and it just has this sense of BIG to it. It's two power chords at the same time, fifths apart from each other.

It's like a Dsus5 or some shit like that. Fuck it. I call it "The Sonic Bludgeoner".

A good example of it is "Restless Oblivion" by Anathema.

The silent enigma kinda sucked, so if you consider that a good album, pretty much every doom album after it has been the best doom album since the silent enigma

 

[Dead Winter]

No

people like to throw around 'best doom album' and sometimes you just gotta give them a reality check.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

<3 SA's Through the Darkest Hour... and most of the rest of their catalogue anyway. never really thought of them as doom though *shrugs*

I'm not throwing it around. I really think that this is the best doom album since The Silent Enigma...at least doom in that vein.

 

[Chromatose]

Kind of like comparing Paramaecium to Pentagram. If you catch where I'm coming from.

<3 paramaecium

got my mom to by Exhumed from the Earth for me from the christian bookstore since I "needed more Christian music" (says her)

 

[Captain Beard]

They sold doom at a Christian bookstore?

 

[EricT]

Paramaecium is christian death doom.

Who gives a fuck what the lyrical content is though, Exhumed of the Earth is in my top 3 death/doom albums of all time.

 

[Captain Beard]

I do if it gets too straightforward. We'll see how it goes later on.

 

[stefan86]

I've listened to the whole cd about four times now. Good stuff
