The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like

[Rumpole]

I wasn't overly impressed by it.

 

[Einherjar86]

I liked it.

Also, "The Crowman" might be my favorite track off Mythical & Magical.

 

[skeptik]

I wish "The Erl King" was on youtube. Those three songs are Pagan Altar at their emotive peak.

 

[Einherjar86]

There's a pretty big Tull influence too, which I love. The vocals almost sound like Ian Anderson.

 

[waif]

There's a new Ereb Altor song from their next album:

Heard that a while ago. Sounds good.

Also, that Pagan Altar stuff is awesome. I need to get me some.

 

[Einherjar86]

Pagan Altar rocks. I actually only have Mythical and Magical. I need to get their other two full-lengths.

 

[skeptik]

You really do. Mythical and Magical is actually my least favorite of the three, though I know a few people on this board think it's their best. It just doesn't have any "Sentinels of Hate" or "Judgement of the Dead." That said, everything the band has done tends to be better than everything most bands have done. And you're absolutely right about the Jethro Tull influence. Maybe more bands should be influenced by Tull. Then again, everything Pagan Altar's done was written between 1977 and 1983 or thereabout for the most part, so that probably has something to do with it as well.

 

[Koude Haat]

Mythical and Magical is really awesome, i think it's better than Lords of Hypocrisy. Volume 1 is their best imo.

 

[mutantllama]

All I've heard is Volume 1. But it kicks major ass.


Edit* I see what you mean about the Tull influence.

Yeah, the time period definitely has something to do with it. I love the fact that all their stuff was written then but is being released now; it bears such an authenticity. Their music and their aura just feels like it rises up out of the mists of the past.

Tull achieves the same thing with lots of their music; I'd definitely like to hear what Pagan Altar has to say about Tull's influence on them.

 

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

"The Erl King" is, indeed, fucking amazing, and I loved researching the poem by Goethe after learning that's what the song's lyrics are based on. Great, great stuff. So emotional.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Has anyone else grabbed the new Fjoergyn record, Jahreszeiten? It's so wonderful. The music is so well composed. It might be their finest record yet, although Ernte Im Herbst is still (so far) my favorite. But grab the new record if you can find it - you will not be disappointed.

 

[Einherjar86]

I need to get a hold of it. I'm definitely psyched about it though.

[no country for old wainds]

that would be much greater if i wasnt working halloween night

 

[divine_torture]

Does anyone at all here see the depth of GnR's songs Locomotive or Breakdown?

 

[Evil?]

I am pretty sure Triumph of Death should be in every Halloween mix ever.

 

[waif]

Never cared for Locomotive but Breakdown is a really great song.

 

[divine_torture]

Breakdown is the better of the two, but Locomotive has some awesome lyrics. Obviously a lot of H references, so some people wouldn't understand all of it. At least you like the really good one. Cool points for you.
