The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

Its a fucking awesome album...

"It would take a world of executioners
to see the need of henchmen in everyday life
(the) credibility of the meek
Stained with the juice of frustrated priests

What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
I'm straightening sharks in heaven
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
We're straightening sharks in heaven

(when) All you take for granted is fake
And all the angles are on the take
Fear the silent majority
When you hate, God can't see you

The sins you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
I'm straightening sharks in heaven
What you don't feel will hurt (you) in hell
We're straightening sharks in heaven"

well we can agree to disagree. I mean its good, but it doesn't deserve the accolades it gets.

 

[skeptik]

It doesn't get any accolades except by people very into Darkthrone.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

And those lyrics fucking suck tbh.

I will take it that you enjoy it.

And those lyrics fucking suck tbh.

Sardonic Wrath was one of Fenriz's best lyric moments. I just happen to think that it is overlooked by far to much people.

whats everyone's opinion on Cemetary (Swe)?

 

[The Ozzman]

I have Godless Beauty from Cemetary and it's merely okay. I need to find some more shit from that band.

 

[Slayed Necros]

An Evil Shade of Grey is Cemetary's peak. Classic Old School Swedish Death Metal with a slight melodic, somber touch reminiscent of God Macabre.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

An Evil Shade Of Grey is kind of nice, but overall they're kind of 2nd/3rd tier Swe-death. There's much better stuff from that period and place.

what would you consider better stuff from there?

and don't name Entombed, Unleashed, Carnage, Grave or Dismember as I already own records by those bands.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Those bands are better regardless.

An Evil Shade of Grey is good stuff, though.

4 live songs from Opeth 'roundhouse tapes' are up.

I'm tempted to go out and buy The Roundhouse Tapes this weekend, but it's advertised at $16 and I've bought plenty of CD's already.

I'm going to get it today (hopefully).

[death metal black metal]

An Evil Shade Of Grey is kind of nice

It's like a simpler version of Ras Algethi. Quite good. More heavy metal than death metal, though.

You've got the bare essentials already covered. These are all superior to the Cemetary album (and mostly still in print):

God Macabre - The Winterlong
Merciless - The Awakening
Therion - Beyond Sanctorum
Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
Seance - Fornever Laid to Rest
Seance - Saltrubbed Eyes
Carbonized - For the Security
Authorize - Source of Dominion
Crypt of Kerberos - World of Myths
Desultory - Into Eternity
Gorement - The Ending Quest

If you're a big fan of the Swedish style there's no doubt you'll enjoy all of this stuff along with An Evil Shade of Grey.

 

[ohiogrinder]

I like Desultory, I have Into Eternity downloaded, but no one seems to have it in stock.

where are some other distros that might carry these?

I gave The Roundhouse Tapes a listen last night, and I like how they made the songs sound live. It sounded like it would if you were there in person, in the part of the theatre where you could get the best acoustics. The additional heaviness buried a lot of the complexities of the guitarwork, meaning this album is only for people who are familiar with the songs they play. Per Wiberg's organ parts to the older songs give a fresh dimension so it's not like listening to the same song as the album. I like how they incorporated the crowd noise into the mix; makes you feel like you're in the crowd, clapping and cheering, especially during the more mellow parts of the songs. Akerfeldt leads the crowd well with his humor but its kept to a minimum, which is good because they had quite a set to plow through.

Opeth fans should definitely own this. If you've been to their concerts before, this a the perfect way to relive the experience.

I've seen this around. Dishing out dollars for a live album is hard for me though.

 

[Zephyrus]

16 dollars for 2 CDs isn't a bad deal.
