PALE DIVINE
from doom-metal.com:
This is cosmic doom like no other, old-school riffing, anthemic doom. Touchstones include early 70s bands like May Blitz, Budgie, and the ubiquitous Sabbath; the NWOBHM, and more recent old-schoolers like Paul Chain, Cathedral, Internal Void, and the eternal and endlessly influential Pentagram.

In just lent a friend Amon Amarth's last 3 albums plus some Hypocrisy and Borknagar.
In return he gave me a disk with Children of Bodom's last 3 albums and Dream Theater's "Train of Thought".

Is this stuff worth my time?
 
Uh, Follow The Reaper is fucking great when you're in the mood for some catchy, brainless power metal with a more "evil" edge.
 
I already own "Hatebreeder" but I only give it occasional attention. As for "Train of Thought" I heard that it's their heaviest so I'll give it a chance, not expecting any surprises though.
 
I just gave up listening to Dream Theater's "Train of Thought". The vocals weren't as gay as I anticipated but it was all ruined when he started rapping like Eminem. The first song was good but the rest of the album was unlistenable. Too much wankery and prog-nobbing for me to take. I respect the talent these guys wield but this band is not for me.

Back to extreme metal I go.
