Traditional Doom Metal

[Blind Guardian]

What the hell why in Germany?!

 

[skeptik]

Apparently you're unfamiliar with the Keep It True festival and how fucking insane German metal fans are.

What the hell why in Germany?!

Everyone knows Germany if not the most overated country for heavy metal festivals and musicians at least one of them.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Hopefully this can lead to a future cooperation between Johan and Leif, would be so cool to hear some new material with him. I wouldn't mind him in Krux instead of Mats Levén. To be honest I'd prefer him in Candlemass instead of Lowe too. Don't get me wrong I've always liked Robert Lowe but he's always got Solitude Aeternus.

So uh, who's seen the lineup for born too late? Probably the best lineup for a us festival that I've seen. August 1st, about an hour away from where I live too

 

[Hypnos]

Fucking Candlemass is going to do Epicus Doomicus Metallicus in its entirety with JOHAN LANGQUIST at Keep It True XIII. God damnit. Fuck Germany.

it's 90% probable that i will be there enjoying the show

 

[mutantllama]

I hate you.

Since my PC died I forgot to add Solstice to my mp3 player, its really good I like it. I think im going to get Dark Age from SKR soon

I've never really given Solstice a chance. Do people usually consider them an underrated/unmentioned band or are they seen as something not work recommending, because I never really see them mentioned when discussing doom -- not sure why. Should I try Lamentations or New Dark Age?

 

[Vilden]

Underrated/unmentioned? Around my friends (and here) they are usually seen as one of the staples of epic doom. Both albums are good but start with New Dark Age, definitely their best imo, and one of the best epic doom metal albums ever.

 

[Soa]

Thanks for the help, I just never seem to see them mentioned anywhere. It's probably just me being oblivious as usual.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah solstice are really well regarded. i'm not huge on what i've heard but i haven't really given them a fair chance.

 

[Vilden]

IMO pretty much only Candlemass and Scald tops Solstice, so I think you should give them a fair chance. :>

 

[Mr. Bungle]

I think I prefer Lamentations, but both are great. ^^^Like he said, Candlemass and Scald are better, I say Solitude Aeturnus and maybe even Forsaken too.

 

[Soa]

I haven't listened to Scald either erk, but I agree on the Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass points. Suppose I should get on that too.

 

[mutantllama]

I've been meaning to listen to Solstice, just haven't had the chance.

 

[mammathusdung]

So uh, who's seen the lineup for born too late? Probably the best lineup for a us festival that I've seen. August 1st, about an hour away from where I live too

shameless plug.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I hate everyone that is going to that.

 

[BloodSword]

Must listen to their only album, Scald--Will Of The Gods Is Greater Power. Originally 1996, get the 2003 re-master. Epic doom riffage and a vocalist second to none. One of the best trad doom albums ever!!

 

[Krow]

I hate everyone that is going to that.

too late notice... or I would have.

If it was on a Saturday and flights from Oklahoma were like 300 instead of 600 I'd be there in a heartbeat
