The Official Doom Thread

I like the album quite a bit actually. Every spin I have enjoyed it more. The album is so dark, and it's playing all those unbelievably timeless heavy/doom riffs; moreover, the Phil's vocals melodies and ability to place his lyrics are fucking awesome as well.

I think it has met my expectations, but I have a feeling it's going to surpass them. The riffing on the album shows me something different listen!

Another great album :kickass:

I have not. I have been spinning Let Battle Commence a lot lately.

If you're implying the new Doomsword is #1 over Hour of 13 I'm gonna be very upset :mad:

EDIT: My review:
The production of this album is clean and exactly what one would want in an epic album, thick guitars, yet keeping the vocals high in the mix. The vocalist shines in this album; He’s lost his Hansi Kürsch sound, and replaced it with more of the strained epic Italian vocals. Every lyric is sung with oozing emotion, over top riffs to compliment the vocals and set an epic battlefield. The album does have a slow tempo at times, it doesn’t have doom riffing nor the usual Viking metal sound. The slow paced epic riffs that evolve into a speed up at the perfect times make this a great album.

From the start of the album DoomSword shows the theme of this specific album, which is Viking. Though the songs are mostly epic battles, never does the album become dull and focus on how epic they can make the music nor do they need huge hooks in each song for one to become intrigued. The album starts with a warrior conquering various lands in the name of his gods. The music follows along the lyrics and sets the mood perfectly. When reading along to the music through the ups and downs of our hero, the music becomes more epic in the battle scenes, and gradually builds up through other parts. The progress of all the battles throughout the album creates tension for the epic monster of a The Great Horn, where the tension is released, and the hero calls upon all of his warriors take back their land.

This should not be listened song by song, but should be listened as an entire album. Nothing cheesy nor over the top, which continues the legacy of DoomSword, and keeping true to metal.

85/100
