the new thyrfing -- it's not just good

[Erik]

it's AMAZING! i just realized with the two last listens -- it might even top vansinnesvisor

and i just gotta say -- by not knowing swedish, you people are fucken MISSING OUT. this album and the previous have probably THE best swedish lyrics i've ever read. incredible stuff!

Just like the stereo whenever I listen to the new Thyrfing.

so are mine but that doesn't stop me from having one myself

Just like the stereo whenever I listen to the new Thyrfing.

it's frankly fucken amazing and i don't see how anyone could dislike this

 

[Demilich]

i downloaded this and never listened to it because i burnt myself out on this kind of music way too fast and needed to give it a LONG break.

time to give it a shot!

 

[JayKeeley]

It's actually really good, but just not as good as it could be. I don't like the fuzzy guitar sounds for a start. Why did they abandon the crisp/clean overdrive?

Also, their new songwriting style takes some time getting used to...I honestly have always said that this might be an album that hits me later on down the road.

"Elddagjämning" is BY FAR my fave song on the album.

now i honestly don't know what the fuck you're on about at all

took me a few listens (not more than about 3 though) but i prefer this new style SO MUCH to their pre-vansinnesvisor stuff.

"Elddagjämning" is BY FAR my fave song on the album.

killer song

FUZZ!! The guitars sound fucken fuzzy as fuck. Compare that guitar sound to Urkraft. Not even close.

 

[Demilich]

I love fuzz! As long as it's good, thick fuzz and not some hollow black metal shit that sounds literally phoned in in both performance and tone!

 

[Erik]

FUZZ!! The guitars sound fucken fuzzy as fuck.

no

no, they don't

i can give you examples of "fuzzy" guitar sounds, and farsotstider just doesn't have it

 

[JayKeeley]

OK in relative terms perhaps there are other bands that have more fuzz, but I'm comparing Thyrfing with Thyrfing -- and the fact is, Urkfraft sounds a lot cleaner. Less fuzz and more fizz!

King of Fuzz:

I thought this was terrible boring. So did Terrorizer.

^^

And I'm not just talking about his hair. On his head.

EDIT: Damn you nate for your speedy posting.

<- one more for luck

you sure care a lot about what a bunch of shitty magazines think

 

[JayKeeley]

nate is a stockholder, don't you know.

not buying this at all

urkraft production would just not work with the new stuff either way, it focuses far too much on heaviness for that sound to work... also it's NOT as different as you think, probably they've even used the same amp from the sounds of it

You are nuts.

Yes, I wouldn't necessarily argue this.

also it's NOT as different as you think

You are nuts the sequel.

 

[Erik]

no it's the same basic type of sound, it's just placed kinda differently in the mix

i think probably mesa amps but don't quote me on that

 

[Johanna]

As an album, I think I like the new one better than vansinnesvisor but I kinda miss the hits. None of the songs stood out for me like for example... Ångestens högborg did on vansinnesvisor.

kanske!!

 

[Tranquillian]

Just because you hype it I'm gonna listen to it again tonight. I agree with you all that Elddagj&#228;mning is a killer track.
