Thoughts/suggestions on Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone

[liquidtension]

I'm listening to it right now, amazing stuff, much like opeth, more agressive some times, more acoustic in anothers. Great realease !! Thumbs up !

I am not much familiar with this band, are the other releases like this one ? Any suggestion to dig into ??

I cant give you to much info, as I'm pretty new to them as well. However, I will agree the new album is great, Verdelet is a personal favorite. I'm really into ambient music as well, and another song from the guys I really enjoy is "Sephiroth Rising" off Raped By the Bastard Nazarene. Kinda creepy.

A lot of people are saying Chroronzon is a bad album though.
I am just a reasonably new fan, so my opinion may not count for as much as some of the more hardcore followers, but from what I have read the new album IS their best so far.

Akercocke are brilliant. The new album is definitely the release of the year imo. Choronzon is a brilliant album, Goat Of Mendes is good but awful production and a bit bland in comparison with their latest efforts. Can't remember Rape The Bastard Nazarene in the slightest.

I've only heard a few tracks, but it's convinced me to get the full thing (hopefully legally, haha).

Definitely one of the best albums I've heard in a while.

I've only heard Verdelet and I loved it. What are some other good Akercocke tracks?

BTW: What the hell does Akercocke mean???

 

[shark22]

Akercocke, thought it was a joke about the opeth man's tool!!

 

[dishcloth]

Or an aching cock? Either way it sounds a bit....

 

[KjeXXXer]

I've heard Verdelet, it came with a cd in Metal Hammer. it's good, not really in to it yet...

 

[FUBAR]

good album, tis veery interesting....only negative aspect is the over use of the cheesy laughing.

Is this album out? I haven't seen it anywhere. Where can I find it? Love Akercocke.

I was gonna buy Words that go Unspoken today, except I didn't have enough cash on me...grr. Apparently the CD in the place that i went to (Metal Mayhem, for you Melbournians) comes with a 7" vinyl. Anyone know what that would have in it?

I assume Akercocke is either a made up word or has a relevance to LaVeyan Satanism that i haven't found/heard yet. Ah well, not to worry!

Ahhh, reside in ultimate-guitar this one does.

I saw then with Opeth in the forum in 2005, they were really amazing live, sound was better then Opeth though I hate to admit it. Must check out their stuff...

 

[A fair judgement]

I love Akercocke, the new album is great, and the dvd is so funny.

... the dvd is so funny.

I know!! I was expecting a totally pretentious documentary, but I laughed my arse off from start to finish! Very good. Didn't know Darth Vader could play blast beats!
the new album sits much better as a whole than Choronzon. The production is much better, and the changes in mood are less random. Choronzon is inconsistent, but it's good. Leviathan is an awesome song ( but with one of the worst bits EVER in it 'Your breathing...' etc ) and I got it for £7 when it was marked at £17.99, so I wasn't complaining
