Traditional Doom Metal

[CiG]

I don't hear any, any, stoner influence in Saint Vitus. Post an example.

Also, I'm not saying that Vitus is a stoner doom band. Far from. I'm just saying that I definitely hear that typical Vitus riff/tone in a lot of stoner doom bands. I think Vitus (and the Obsessed as well) have more in common with punk and blues than stoner music.

Got my copy of Heartless today. Will listen to it some time late tonight. Try to drink some alcohol and get sad or something first.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I blasted most of it today. It's weird and kinda dull upon first listen tbh. Lots of softer spots with these weird sludgey and gnarly riffs that just don't quite sound right to me, but whatever.

 

[CiG]

Is it just me or have Procession dropped off the edge of the earth?

 

[rms]

apparently the singer lives in sweden now so who knows whats going on

 

[CiG]

Yeah that happened a few years ago by now, I know he (Felipe) is also in a couple of other bands. Also he runs a label apparently. It'd be a shame if Procession just fizzled out.

 

[no country for old wainds]

weren't they supposed to be releasing an album a couple months ago?

 

[CiG]

Oh really? Could you provide any links?

you may still be right that they've vanished though, haven't heard anything lately and that's from last august.

 

[CiG]

Damn, I've seen this already.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Felipe tours with Destroyer 666 now so that explains why Procession has been fairly quiet.

 

[CiG]

I wonder if his presence has anything to do with the somewhat sudden traditional heavy metal elements surfacing in D666...

So yeah I definitely bought two copies of For Mircalla. Anyone need one?

That's certainly a plausible theory. I know that Sharpnel helped write parts of the Defiance album which could explain why the album suffered a bit so I could see Keith wanting the other members to contribute to songwriting. It should also be noted that Felipe plays guitar in Nifelheim as well. Another huge fucking band.

Me! I'll message you. I've been looking for a copy for a long time.

So Metal on Metal records is finally releasing No Laughing Matter from The Lamp of Thoth on cd. It's listed as an ep but in the same way Harbinger of Metal is annnnd they stuck the uber rare cassette only demo This is Not Doom! In with it and relabeled the release This is Not a Laughing Matter.

jesus, you like that EP? that is legitimately terrible =/

I've never listened to it tbh. Just saw the re-release and I think theres some guys that like the band here.

I do like the demo though, I've got one of the 200 copies in my music room.
