Tiamat

[Erik]

Mount Marilyn is best as part of the closing "trilogy" on ADKoS, "Phantasma De Luxe"/"Mount Marilyn"/"A Deeper Kind of Slumber". Absolutely stellar, super atmospheric, very depressing, etc

 

[NAD]

NIN ripoff? What are you smoking Adrian?

Just cigarettes these days. I hear a Pretty Hate Machine influence on ADKOS, not really a ripoff but it's definitely there.

 

[Erik]

Oh so we've gone from "TIAMAT WOULD NEVER EXIST WITHOUT NIN!=!=!="#"%" to "not really a ripoff" to "well.. eh.. there's definitely some influence.. like.. they both use synths!!!!!" have we?

 

[NAD]

No, it's true that ADKOS wouldn't exist w/o NIN, or rather it probably would but it surely would sound different. It's not as trivial as the James Taylor effect.

I don't consider a strong influence as a ripoff, if I did I'd say "every metal band in existence ripped off Black Sabbath" but, you know, they didn't.

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Tiamat is one of my favorite bands!!!!!!

 

[MajestikMøøse]

[MajestikMøøse]

well I've got a nice alcohol buzz going on right now, does that count?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

At this point I'd like to reiterate what has been previously said in this thread that Wildhoney fucking rules

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I'm too lazy to look through this thread. Give me the single best Tiamat song to go listen to.

 

[J.]

Whatever that Hurts

[MajestikMøøse]

I finally got arouund to listening to "Wildhoney" while in Mexico. Because if there's one thing that makes people think of Tiamat, it's lying on the beach and trying not to get caught looking at topless chicks. Anyway, if I dig "Wildhoney" is "Slumber" the best one to get next?

Anyway, if I dig "Wildhoney" is "Slumber" the best one to get next?

Zod

imo, definitely, being as it's the other essential tiamat album. But there are hardly any musical similarities so that consideration is moot.

 

[BenMech]

Wildhoney is fantastic. The acoustic twinkling through A Pocket Size Sun just says it all

 

[J.]

get Clouds
