Thoughts on the new Drudkh EP?

[EricT]

The first track, pure depressive black metal in the vain of False Dawn. Pretty good track.

The second track on the other hand. Zomg. The vocals, "The Romans" brought back the evilness of the HF vocals! On top of a song in the vain of Summoning The Rain.

Very good EP. Drudkh still ceases to fail me!

Your thoughts?

 

[derek]

I like it, loads.

 

[Lord Foul]

I think:

If they cease to fail you, it implies that they did at some point fail you, and no longer do. Perhaps you mean "fail to disappoint."

 

[EricT]

Quiet you...

As much as I do like the Songs of Grief and Solitude album, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. So it disapointed me a bit. But returning to black metal, in good form might I add, means they cease to fail me.

Get it?

 

[Lord Foul]

Wait, this is another new one? Fuck, I can't keep up with that band. And the albums are fucking expensive to import.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah it seems like ever since Hate Forest disbanded they've been kicking it into overdrive with Drudkh, theres a full length due out this year too.

 

[EricT]

Heh, yes.

This one is limited to only 999, and only on 10" vinyl.

EricT i appreciate the sendit load on myspace, it was very nice of you in case no one ever thanked you for it...



i never listened to Drudkh before....but Fall Into Oblivion...was just..


it was the same thing over and over agian, and the chords and rings with notes he was using just sounded like slop...it was the same thing till 3:09 into the song, then they added a symbol to the song at 3:10...then at 5:09 they started to add a crash to the drums....repeat...repeat...


im sorry its just horrible. Ashes is just the same, the only thing that seems to change is the drums that are hit, and its repetitive....


repetitive..repetitive



but i do appreciate the genorosity for letting me upload the EP.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Eh I dunno, I'm a huge Drudkh fan, but this EP didnt really do anything for me.

This is definitely not your style of music... i didn't think it would be.

 

[Lord Foul]

Heh, yes.

Eh, fuck that elitist nonsense.

Grooves carved on a vinyl platter is about the lamest sound reproduction system ever.

 

[EricT]

I quite enjoy listening to vinyl. It helps when you have a half-decent record player and a reasonable amp.

 

[Liverslapper]

depressive black metal....well they could of been a bit more technical i mean, its the same thing over and over. Just no bite to it, it seems like just a few songs to have in the background while you socialize or something, i mean, if im gonna listen to depressive music ill listen to Sentenced or something, and i know of black metal bands that just don't play everything over agian.


maybe if i listen to more of there matieral then i can get a good image of the band, but the EP just didn't do a thing for me. at all.

 

[Cephalopod]

Thankies for the link. I'll need to give it another listen...not sure I'm ready to form an opinion on it yet. I've been listening to a lot of slow, mellow and depressing shit lately, so this should be right up my alley.

You could possibly try out Blood In Our Wells, but... again, I don't think it would be your thing. You're looking for a bit more upfront technicality, where as Drudkh is more of a subtle band in that aspect.

 

[Liverslapper]

ah ok, well ill give that album a shot then thanks.

 

[Lord Foul]

I find the droning aspect of the music is a big part of the atmosphere.

 

[Lunar Still]

Yeah, Wind of the Night Forests was the first Drudkh song I ever heard, and one night I decided to stick it on my mp3 player and take a walk....man, I still love that song.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

A couple weeks ago I was waiting for the R1 Train from the airport back to Temple University, it was late in the evening, kind of a chilly brisk night. I listened to Blood In Our Wells through headphones while waiting outside. That was an experience.

holy shit they do pump out the discs...is this about 4 or 5 in two years? They should maybe think about touring or something.
