The Provenance...

[Jim LotFP]

... new gods for anyone into Opeth, Novembre, Green Carnation, etc...

Still At Arms Length is one INCREDIBLE album and is my #1 pick for 2003 at this early date.

I recently got it but have yet to listen. I shall do that now.

Damn, you got first. Yeah, Still At Arms Length is very, very good. Like a mixture of Opeth, Amorphis (the Elegy era), a little prog and a little goth.

Also check out Cult Of Luna's "The Beyond". A masterpiece for all who love Neurosis and Isis. Heavy as a really heavy thing!

 

[IanDork107]

I've had this one for a few weeks. It's damn good. I find it to be like maudlin of the Well meets Green Carnation. But regardless of who it's similar to, it's very good.

 

[Lion in a Cage]

Yeah, I know this band since their debut album. I ordered the new cd but it hasn't arrived yet. Nice to hear it's good...

Mixture of Opeth and Elegy-era Amorphis...

*drools*

 

[Demonspell]

Must check this band out, given the comparison points...

 

[IcemanJ256]

I think it's an important thing to note that it doesn't sound like they are at all influenced by Opeth or Amorphis, but it sounds like they are influenced by many of the same older bands, and bringing that influence to life in metal forms... of course it's going to sound a bit like others who have done the same thign..

 

[IanDork107]

Yeah...the most likely comparison would be to Green Carnation. While they have interesting ideas like Opeth and Elegy era Amorphis, it sounds nothing like either band. Green Garnation and motW are the only two I would feel safe saying they sound similar to, but not from copying by any means.

 

[Sigma]

also, sounds very Arcturus at times, regardless, amazing band!

 

[Schism]

Love the cover -art!!!

 

[Schism]

yeah its an incredible album. I was really amazed. I read a review from it, which said it was really good. Normally I'm really sceptic against reviews, but because of some interesting talking about how it sounds i was quite interested. so i gave it a go in the shop by listening to it, and was quickly convinced of the quality of this album. Normally already one of my 10 fave albums this year although there are some other great bands releasing a CD soon

 

[Staffan]

Do they have a website?

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

I posted this topic last week and no one seemed to notice. Good band though.

There is 3 1/2 min samples from the new album too

 

[Staffan]

Thx!

A read about them in a swedenrockmagazine a couple of days ago

I have to say that I'm appalled and very jealous that a band of this quality is lumbered with a no-mark label like Scarlet...
